Lil Los responds from earlier today on shadows Facebook page.
Since Shad Arias-Anorve announcement about bringing back the ECCR fam, I figured it's probably best if I address some things so he won't have to.
First - I support Shadows music venture 100%. He and a lot of others have been at it a long time, putting in lots of work to get the recognition they have. I believe with the talent and brain power involved with this project It will be a classic. I will be one of the first people to purchase a copy. As a side, I can careless who or what label its under.
Second - I don't rap anymore. Haven't for a while. I have been approached by a lot of people and asked a lot of times, but my life has pointed in a different direction. Since before Wood passed, he used to have to drag me to the studio to do tracks. I love music and had dreams of making a career out of it. But in reality its a tough business and you must be fully committed to realize your dreams. I knew my chances of being able to support myself in the present and future, I needed to line up something else.
Third - Wood was like a brother and losing him is still hard to fathom. We were homies that happen to make music together. He encouraged me to pursue it and together we did. Rapping "outside" of ECCR doesnt really appeal to me. Coupled with everything else I had/have going on, then throwing the death of a brother who was there on my first studio session, basically stomped out any ambitions. Its honestly a lot more complicated, but it wont all fit in this post.
Fourth - You need absolute focus when making your music. My focus is raising my family and providing them with everything I can. Love, attention, discipline, education, enrichment, etc. I would be doing you an injustice half-assing my way through some music and trying to sell it. I wont do that.
Fifth - Im a person that likes my privacy. I never really liked being out there and honestly felt uncomfortable with the attention we got. I never liked being front and center. Would much rather lay low in the background.
I hope this helps answer some questions and saves Shadow some time answering them. I also hope you support his project. Shadow always brought the heat and I honestly never liked coming in after him on a verse. That goes for the rest of the ECCR artists. Much love and respect fellas.
