I'm proud of my first album. I could have sold one copy and been perfectly happy, just because I saved every dime I could so production would be covered. Plus, it took me like 8 months to record the album, so I'm proud of all the work that was put into it. I'm grateful that AntDawg is out there helping me out, hustlin', gettin contacts and I'm happy we decided to run this label together.
I'm also proud of everything that's happened in my life, negative or positive (friends dying and me living, graduating high school). No matter what, the negative and the positive made me who I am. I wasn't me at birth, I became ME when I started losing people, when I started thinking and learning and all that good and bad shit. So as fucked up as it may sound, I am happy I went through a lot of shit...'cause without it Sydal wouldn't exist, I would just be Ryan Collins.
