A new era


Finally, acceptence. With the new year rolling in, plans to release our single was going as smooth as ever. I made a beat on FL 7 and wrote the hook and my first two verses. Jersey Boii wrote his two and we managed to save up the money required. It was Christmas break from school and we had planned to record the song then, but do to finances, we would have to wait another two weeks after we got back to school. Well I went online and found a place titled: Studio at the Farm. Their services being offered were fair and you could hear the love for the music in their voices, so we went with them. They are located in Mesa, Arizona and I would have to say it was one of the best times I've ever had in a studio. After the release of my mixtape The Other Side, we went into the studio to create what would be known as the "best so far." Boy were people stunned!! Shocked, flabbergasted, however you want to say it, that was everyone at Florence. People who would swear on their own life that we sucked, FINALLY started showing us respect. We would walk around the school and hear it playing off of fellow student's ipods. I would have random people write me on facebook and say it was a dope song. When I first released it, I sent it via email to everyone. Man that took SOO long haha. Well I actually had a friend named Jessica Rivera who sent it to IDK how many people, and didn't even have me ask her to do it. She is still my number one fan lol (other than my fiance). I can't tell you how good it felt to see that respect that we worked so hard for. It only took us about a year and three months to get it. I continue to show people City Lights and I've only recieved a few bad responses for it. We performed City Lights for the school, for a graduation and more times to come. It was released as a single, but it is actually going onto my up and coming demo titled "Against All Odds."
