This is my first official mixtape, and I must say, you people drive a hard theme. The problem with mixtapes is that I tend to get really interested in just a single line or rhyme in a song. That’s what made me pick these songs. The problem is, I usually need to talk to someone during a song to tell them what I’m really interested in when I hear a certain song. So, I’m hoping that whomever receives this mix will find the line/rhyme in each song that makes it fit with the theme of Running Scared. It’ll take diligence for sure. But, such is life.

Also, I’ve been drinking.
