Those of you who know me personally know me as a determined woman. Yes, this is what I actually am: determined and focused.
Today I’d like to welcome you into my inside world.
Like B Rabbit in the Rabbit Run song, I sometimes feel like I have to beat the clock to achieve my goals. I don’t know if time is my ally or my enemy, but all I try to do is never to look back at the past unless I want to measure the progress I have made since I started fighting for my dreams to come true. I am usually satisfied about the progress I have reached.
I am currently about to reach one of the goals I have been fighting for for years and I have all reasons to be satisfied about it. However, I am perfectly conscious that the real battle will only begin after achieving this very first goal. Life is an eternal struggle and those who want to make something out of their lives have to keep on grinding like soldiers during a harsh battle.
Being a woman hasn’t always simplified my task. However, I’m not the kind of girl who expects a man’s support just to lean on his shoulder and not doing any efforts by herself. I have been raising both of my kids alone for years and I still do. I have been left on my own in so many dramatic situations, but I am happy it happened that way. I have developed a strong personality and an independent spirit through the years.
The only person I actually count on is myself, because I know my strengths and weaknesses. I have even learnt how to use my weaknesses to my greatest advantage.
As long as I will be alive, I will keep fighting. As long as the inside flame will be burning, I will live out my passions.
Dear readers, life is a constant fight. You have to fight for the right to be who you really wanna be. You have to fight to be where you really wanna be. Never give up on yourself. Never give up the struggle. When you will have reached all you wanted to achieve, find some new challenges, because this is what actually makes life an interesting journey.
The worst regret one could have at the end of the journey is to have lived for nothing. Remember to keep the flame burning as long as you live and you won’t have lived for nothing.

If you’re still wondering about who Fullklipp actually are, they are a Detroit underground group composed of Merlyn Wade aka P.A.C.E (the CEO of the group), Bigg Baldy aka Eric Hurst and TrueBeyond aka Rodrick Hurst (both lyricists of the group).

The Playbook mixtape Volume 1
I had the chance to listen to EKS’ Playbook mixtape that was released in December 2005. The mixtape, that is available for a free download, is a compilation of older and new songs and will give people some insight about EKS’ progression as an artist.
You might be curious to know why EKS named his mixtape Playbook.
EKS defines it like « a guide, a playbook of something you can follow and learn from or even just enjoy for some good music really.
You can also picture his mixtape as “a book of knowledge & wisdom, like religion but scriptures written in plays for living”

EKS has beeb collaborating with numerous artists and producers. Expect some big projects to come.
About him
EKS’ biggest musical influences are Elzhi, Ras Kass and Joe Budden.
He writes his music the way he feels, so it would certainly be hard to categorize his music. However, the combination of EKS’ incredible flow delivery with his lyrical skills and good instrumentals make his music a unique creation. EKS is certainly a perfectionist who has worked hard through the years in order to sharpen his tools and to improve the quality of his very enjoyable music.
