about this site
Self help, typically known as 1/2 of Bending Mouth (the other half being Thesis Sahib), I am in a close-knit
crew with my wife and son & I am a friend to all animals of the Earth.
It has been 7 years since you bust on to the Canadian Hip hop scene with Bending Mouth why has it taken so long
to release your first
solo album, what have you been doing since and what has changed as far as releasing music between then an now?
During the time of Bending Mouth my life was quite unstable and I could usually be found on a friends couch.
Without any financial support from family and bad relations with my step father I had nowhere to live a lot of
the times. I remember at one point I opened up for Sole (Anticon) in Toronto and after the show I went and
slept on a park bench in the rain. I should mention that had nothing to do with Sole, it was the promoter that
said he could not pay me a dime and so I was broke and had nowhere to go and was sick of asking friends if I
could sleep at their houses. It was embarrassing. That morning when I woke up soaked and shivering on a bench
is when I decided that rap needed to be put on hold till I could get my life together. I worked for a month
at a call center and took every cent I earned and moved out west to the mountains with a plan to totally
stabilize my life and that is what I did. Five years later I had met my wife, I had began building my
studio and finally after a bit more time I could rely on myself and nobody else to begin recording at my
house with the quality I expected out of myself. I also had a son a year ago so that has been my number one
focus in life since he was born.
Beyond those changes I guess these days it is even easier to market
yourself through the ever popular social networks on the Internet and various other tools so
readily accessible in our modern times.
Not like we didn’t have this stuff in 2002 but nowadays it is more developed and easier to
reach more people.
