Things have been going amazing for me ever since moving away from home. Clancy had set me up with a small tour two months after me moving in and he was certain I was ready.
I went to a few cities in Cali and a few back home to perform my album. It was a quick one-month run but it was also really fun.
Tyler had gone back into work mode finishing up the album. Then he finally had a listening party with all of his close friends and collaborators that were on the album. It was fucking BEAUTIFUL. Beautifully put together. I completely aspire for my work to sound half as good as this album.
Now the release is inching closer and he has put out the singles "911/Mr.Lonely" which I have a small vocal feature on and "See You Again" with Kali Uchis. I tagged along with him for some press runs that I was a part of and even one's where I wasn't needed. I was just super proud and showing my support and also shadowing him to see how he handles all of this commotion.
One day on a day we all had free time, Tyler, Jasper, and I were driving through the city participating in our usual antics. Tyler driving like he's in a high-speed chase, Jasper hyping him up and taking pictures with his camera and me holding on to anything I can and praying to the Lord I make it out of this vehicle alive.
We approached a red light and I held my breath and squeezed my eyes shut preparing for some kind of an impact thinking Tyler would keep going and felt the car come to a slow stop.
Tyler: (looks at Key with a stank face) What the fuck are you doing?
Akeylah: (sighs and opens eyes) Counting my days.
Jasper just snapped a picture and laughed
Tyler: (cackles) Why do you still ride with me if you are so damn scared?
Akeylah: (pouts while looking out the window) Cuz I wanna be with my friends...and I don't have a car yet.
Tyler: Jus-
Tyler was cut off by Jasper as he turned up the volume on the radio. It was a lady speaking then all of a sudden, "See You Again" began playing through the speakers
We all began to flip the fuck out. Once the light turned green, Tyler pulled over into a parking lot and we all got out of the car celebrating, dancing, and hugging each other. Tyler was even crying tears of joy which made me shed a tear or two. I was soo proud of him. He's worked so hard to get to this point. I felt it was nowhere but up from here for him.
Later that night, The whole crew was at Tyler's house hanging out, I was in the kitchen cooking up some food for all of us with the help of Solo. We were having girl talk as we plated the food. She began playing the garlic buttered salmon as she spoke
