I am not a professional singer.
I don't have a lifetime of vocal training, a touring band, or a record label polishing every rough edge. What I do have are stories—and reasons for telling them.
The songs of Writ & Rust are about harm, consequence, accountability, confinement, survival, and what remains afterward. They are not written to manufacture a heroic version of the past. They are written because some experiences cannot be explained honestly in a slogan, a legal filing, or a carefully sanitized biography.
Sometimes a story needs music.
I could place these songs in the hands of a more polished singer. They might hit every note more cleanly. But they would not have lived the events behind the words. They would be performing the story. I am telling it.
That does not mean the voice matters more than the song. It means perfection is not the price of admission to having something worth saying.
So no—I am not asking anyone to listen because I am a professional singer.
I am asking you to listen because these songs tell stories worth hearing from a point of view not often shared.
Why I sing these songs myself:

For those who are unaware, you multiply first, then add. In one instance, you are multiplying 300 by 2. In the other, you are multiplying 100 by 2. In other words, they are literally different equations. It has nothing to do with the brand, nothing to do with programming, but nice try.

@llixeey The smallest triangle is the triangle in the letter "A" in the word "Black." That color happens to be an off-white, or some might call it an eggshell color. #WritAndRust https://t.co/IjXfUTPzqQ

I weep for my peers who cannot comprehend the lesson set forth before them. Legally, you can defend yourself, but he took it to a whole new level. Once he was out of anger, he was no longer permitted to continue his attack, no matter how justified. We are not discussing opinion here, we are discussing the law. Period. End of story.
@jkniel50@ceciiii07 Honestly, you're kind of an idiot, a stereotypical keyboard warrior. That said, no one said he didn't have a right to defend himself. He absolutely did, but he went WAY too far in doing so and will be charged as a result. It's that simple.
I am not saying I do not understand, I am saying that, legally, he committed assault and battery. He didn't just "defend" himself, he went on the offensive. Once a man is down and you are out of harm's way, you can no longer continue "defending" yourself. Not even in a stand your ground state.
@Deadwyler16099@ceciiii07 Go back and read my post. I wasn't saying he didn't spit on him, I was pointing out that it didn't matter if he did or didn't, because in both cases, he went way above and beyond and will be the one who gets in the most trouble.
@MEGA223490 If they came forward on their own to recant, no, because that would deter others from recanting. If it was discovered and proven through other means, then, yes, lock 'em up.

My tip has absolutely nothing to do with how much my bill is. That said, I do not believe in tipping just because you did your job. If you are lucky enough to get a tip from me, it is because you far exceeded the expectations associated with the establishment you work at. The more upscale the establishment, the higher those expectations you will need to exceed to get a tip.

@sabamaliktmhg The real question is whether the woman is willing to treat him good enough that he has no desire to cheat. Treat a man bad enough, and he will either leave you, or cheat on you every time.
