SLAP HAPPY

Sup gang!

So for the next few weeks I wanted to talk about trading and try to give some value to my trading community whilst also giving some insight into to anyone who is interested on what my trading journey has looked so far.

I started trading just over 2 years ago and it took me a solid 18 months to properly find my footing, I am so glad that I did though because trading has opened up a world of potential for me that I literally never thought would be possible, and I am so incredibly grateful for that. On this episode I briefly go over the timeline from the beginning of my journey until present day, before answering some more technical questions submitted to me by the twitter homies.

Below are some of the materials and content that I mention in the episode.

I hope you enjoy Slaaaaap Haaaapy!!

I would like to note before you listen to this... this is my journey, this is not advice. Trading has most certainly helped me, but it is not for everyone. If you want to trade at all, please do the correct research and seek advice before jumping in.

Australian hip-hop is diversifying and growing at an extrememly fast pace, and I for one am incredibly excited about its trajectory. From The Kid Laroi, to OneFour, to Tkay Maidza and HP Boyz, the melting pot of cultures and the braziness of these acts to portray authenticity is creating an incredibly vibrant setting for the next golden era of Australian hip-hop.

After a few chats with a few people over the weekend, and whilst also observing the growing movements in our scene, I've decided to throw in my thoughts about who I previously thought would be an international superstar and who I believe will lead us into the future.

A lot of the artists I've covered in this episode, as well as a lot of other ones I enjoy can be found in my Savvy Selections playlist: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2RJyDIBuRpIBm6gehQs3Sj?si=ozFVPym_RgqtP95wue2DNg

I just moved house and decided to just turn the camera on and talk my s**t...

In this episode I cover my move to Collingwood and my intimate connection to the Magpies, I talk about how heaven must be Earths VIP room, how IKEA messed up by not knowing exactly how long my hallway was and how I wasn't deemed to be swish enough to enter a schoolies nightclub even though I was pimpin.

Ok cool, I'm rapping, I'm gambling, then I'm not rapping (cos sad).... then I'm rapping... so far so good.

In this one I talk about a little bit of street cred that I attain and how that forces me to ditch my rap name for something more stylish. I take a look at all of my releases from the last 8 years. I reminisce on the first time I got played on Triple J and how that made me feel accomplished and worthy... and then take a look at the lack of discpline that I exhibited after that (peaks and troughs right). At the end I touch on where I'm currently at from a musical and geographical perspective. 

So I'm rapping now, and I got a rap name now!! What could possibly go wrong...

This is a little look at the early years, my schoolyard battle rap sessions, my mixtapes and the late night Video Ezy hustle. I also talk about my gambling addiction and how I won $90k and then gambled most of it, and what that did to slap me around in my early 20's.

I would like to take you into the world of my origin story, the twists and turns and how I started to find my calling.

In this episode I'm gonna talk about how I went from being a total sports fanatic to a budding rapper all due to an unfortunate golfing accident that almost took my eyesight. This accident and the proceeding months/years would set the foundations for my lifetime as a writer and fan of hip-hop music.

Welcome welcome to my very first podcast EPISODE!!

As this is my very first episode, I thought that it was important to turn the mic on and just see what happened, I needed a place to start basically. I talked mostly about my inability to start things (especially this podcast), and how it feels to overcome that first hurdle.

It feels good to be here and to be finally releasing this kind of content and I look forward to so much more of it... thank you for joining me and I really hope you enjoy the ride!
