**EXCLUSIVE** Cali Swag District

JAYARE’S BLOG

Having a “lab rat” work ethic has it’s ups and downs. A lot of times its fun because we get to kick it but at the same time we are at a place of business and getting work done. There are times when we have cold nights, especially when you are not feeling well. Pulling all nighters, sleeping on the floor because we’re too tired to go home when we get back from shows or rehearsals. But these small sacrifices make up for the fun and what we get in the long run.

Being a part of Cali Swag District has kept me from running the streets. I was hanging around the wrong crowd. Surrounded by people that had no direction and who did not have anything productive to do. Since I have been doing my music with CSD, I have found that I have become more mature and that my personality has changed. I’m more productive and positive.

Sometimes it gets hard though. Mostly during the times when you are sick. You don’t get the proper rest that your body needs to completely recover. That’s what I’m going through now as I write this. No matter what we have to keep on pushin’. Also, my eating habits got worse because of all the fast food we eat especially late at night. I miss the home cooked meals. To any kids out there that have a dream, I want to say to them that anything is possible. There is nothing that you can’t do and don’t let anyone tell you that you can’t. Through hard work and determination it will happen. I’ve always wanted to be a rapper and I didn’t stop until it came true. Look at me now…
