My 2012 Highlights

It has truly been a hell of a year. Ups and downs, smiles and frowns, the good, bad, ugly and sad. We've definitely seen the wort of the worst as far as tragedies as concerned, but we've also been there for the rise of hope and love in our country. 2012 has been one of the most trying yet detrimental years for me so far. I can honestly say that I've seen and done it all this year. The good always outweighs the bad in life simply because we still have life above everything else. From the rap beefs and feuds to the prosperous moves made in my career, shit has gone down for ya boy. Lost money, friends and love all in the same year. Gained new insight on life, saw some weird shit that yall wouldn't believe and built an entertainment empire all in one year. I decided to dedicate an entire blog post to listing and reliving my accomplishments, losses and overall living that went on with me and the team over the past 364 days... Y'all sit back, turn ya bottle up and take a trip through the last 12 months of my life. Out of all the shit I've gone though this year, I'm glad to say I learned so damn much that I won't make the same mistakes next year. It's all about progression for me in 2013 and I can guarantee one thing if nothing else: 2013 IS MY YEAR.
