Then & Now by DFG

Then & Now is my first full CD release since I did the Rise To Fame series. The idea behind Then & Now is to give a little insight into my life since I started doing hip hop in 2006, mentioning topics such as life on The Vale Estate, how growing up I've made many mistakes in my life, which, in some respect I am thankful for, as it's these mistakes that made me who I am today, and also the reason I'm doing music again. The thing is, after years of doing music (Usually at a high volume) I damaged my ears and stopped doing music in 2010, but I found it difficult to keep away and ended up releasing tracks such as "Do It Like Me" and "Writer's Block 2", this only further damaged my ears so I made the choice to stop completely. After a while I found myself still writing but not actually recording or releasing and music, until I was finally really impressed with some of the stuff I was writing and then ended up recording 3 tracks in 2012 - Thank You, Judge Me and When You're Alone. After this I was going to go on to release a full CD with other tracks that I had written, unfortunately I ended up losing all my lyrics and could no longer record this CD, so again, I stopped doing music. In October 2013 I was speaking with Amy Unsworth about music, it was because of something she had said that I then went on to writing "Then & Now", after so long of working on this CD I had been introduced to Kai through Amy, and as far as music goes, we hit it off from the start and began working on a couple of songs together, which will be featured on this CD.
