Besides the fact that I think I suck at being on the lens end of a camera, this photo is dope. Too bad I had to crop it to Instagram it. Taken by @alexianervosa; #RawBeats shoot test shot. (Taken with instagram)

The lady I conversed a little with at Target yesterday made me realize that business cards may be useful, I’ve always been semi-against them. So I decided to design one. Might order them right now. #BishopJackson #beats #business (Taken with instagram)

Just a simple foot pedal, but I thought I’d show it “unboxed”. I like the design of it though. (Taken with instagram)

The Love I Get…

Cashier: ”What is that?”

Me: ”A pedal for a keyboard. A music keyboard.”

Cashier: ”You make beats?”

Me: ”Yeah.”

Cashier: ”How long have you been doing it?”

Me: ”I’ve been doing music since was twelve…”

This conversation was with a middle age (maybe late 40s) Black women at Target in Emeryville, where I was buying some shampoo. I was a little baffled why she asked if I made beats simply based on the sustain pedal, but then I remembered I had my “Raw Beats” hat on, that I assume she noticed.

She then asked me if I had a (business) card, which I don’t, but I ended up writing down my website address for her. She said she was going to check me out to see how good I am. Felt a little flattered.

This shows that there are still people of generations prior to mine who are still supportive of my generation, and hip hop and rap music. Should’ve wrote my number down so she could let me know what she thought; doubt I’ll be in that Target again anytime soon.

Getting ready for “Synth City”. You should get ready too. Late 2011, early 2013. #BishopJackson #SynthCity #beats (Taken with instagram)

Can’t reveal the name of the next project yet. Only little sis and one other person knows about it.
