Hi all. Here's a story about how funk volume saved my life.
Just a few short months ago I was dieing of addiction. A year ago I moved to Denver hoping to find a magical solution to an untreatable disease. Within a couple months of working a shitty pizza delivery job, I was back into active addiction. In January a girl I was with introduced me to needles. I had thought my life couldn't get any worse but I had a lot more suffering to go thru.
Sometime in December I heard ill mind 5 for the first time. It blew me away, but it took a month or two to really dive into Hopsins catalog which led me to the other funk volume artists. By the time I was listening to y'all every moment of the day sometime in May, I was not doing well. Suicide crossed my mind multiple times. Scoring some raw dope would have caused an OD with the amount I was shooting. I had prayed for that at some points. I wanted to kill myself, but y'all's music gave me a source of hope that I couldn't find within myself.
FV artists are unique to me. Maybe it's that I can relate to your lyrics at different times in my life. Hop talks about not using drugs and the problems with kids thinking they need to. That gave me hope to get clean, along with ill mind 6. SwizZz has made some tough decisions in life, that gave me courage to do what was necessary to actually get clean. Dizzy n jarren b are just straight ballers, they give me strength to chase the dreams I got, no one or thing can take that from me, as long as I stay off drugs.
i love y'all. FV has helped me tremendously. I hope this board gets active so FV fans can get together and cherish what a great label we are fans of. Thx for everything, thx for reading.
"I made a mistake n had to find myself, remind myself, fame ain't wealth, pain don't last, learn to adapt n it's hard to fail.."
