Ekan - Err 3: Sobriety, Solitude and Som'ink Else (Full Album Minecraft Video)
Number 3. I spent a more time producing this year, less time writing, there is a whole load of beats that didn't make it onto the album and a whole bunch more that lean more towards the house/techno genres. All of the writing was done on these A4 pages folded into eight that I've been carrying around all year. This may be why there is not a single verse of just straight bars, the whole album is made of these little cadences.
I have got my life back on track, a lot of the stuff I complained about not having last year, I now own due to the fact I'm sober and have that extra money. There is still a way to go but I'm in a much better position.
Why is the video to this album made with Minecraft? because in the first month or so of sobriety I replaced alcohol and smoking with Minecraft. I would play in 24 hour sessions at times and would total over a hundred hours in a week. It distracted me from my self destructive thinking and allowed me to escape when the outside world was too much for me to handle. Minecraft saved my life really as it was the most effective tool for breaking my worst habits.
