My week was somewhat chaotic; I thought I wouldn’t have anything to talk about, but I managed to gather a few things. I was moving and had forgotten how laborious it is, but it was worth it. I saw some video drawing a parallel about how our lives can be compared to a series, and that’s how I feel, as if a new season is starting. I hope you enjoy this week’s recommendations.

WHAT I’M READING:
This is a book I started this week; I have serious criticisms about the titles and the clickbait-like language of entrepreneurship books, but the central idea is cool. Basically, it talks about training your vision to see opportunities based on our daily experiences, but the main message is about action: act as quickly as possible, put the ideas on paper, see what needs to be done, start, and find out how to do it along the way. It’s pretty much how I started all of this here, so I identified with the idea.
WHAT I’M LISTENING TO:
This week someone listened to this mixtape for the first time, and I feel very jealous of that person. I don’t like to seem nostalgic, but I really think they don’t make music like this anymore these days. Travis learned everything he could from Kanye, put his own twist on it, and created something unique. The verses from Young Thug are inexplicable, and the beats and interludes are simply incredible.
It’s been 10 years since I saw Febem praising this mixtape on Facebook feed; I downloaded it from some shady website, put it on my iPod, and started to listen.
Highlight for ‘Grey’ which I never valued much and now I have come to like a lot more. The Prayer, Skyfall, Mamacita, Drugs You Should Try It, Don't Play, Sloppy Toppy, need I say more…
It wouldn’t be crazy to say that Cash Cobain is a cutting-edge artist; he 'created' a new subgenre called sexy drill and has influenced the music market worldwide. I really like artists from whom I can see authenticity, who really studied, dedicated time and effort to develop their craft, and after seeing this video I was sure he is one of them. Highlight for Rump Punch, slizzyhunchodon, act like.
THINGS I’M WATCHING:
Travi$ Scott & Young Thug – Rodeo Tour Houston, Texas Full Show Part 1
After relistening to Days Before Rodeo, I went to rewatch this show; I still want to have that Palace jersey that Travis is wearing.
The Alchemist posts several vlogs of his tours around the world, and the most recent one was this. He connects culturally in every place he goes, he strolls, talks, tries food, buys records; it’s really awesome. My desire to know Japan grows every passing day.
TWEETS OF THE WEEK:
Thank you for reading and have a great week. We are going to hold a very different event on the 31st; save your afternoon. More information coming soon.
