"How bout he know the CEO of Def Jam Recordings who say I can get signed."

"Yeah Nigga told me I could change the music industry with my Testimony cause I sing real shit that da people can relate too. "

He nodded but rubbed the back of his neck.

"Imma have to leave for a couple weeks to keep making tracks.I recorded these tracks tonight called Downtown, Celebration, and Slow Motion. Jantè gonna help a nigga out in promotin my music."

"I'll mostly be in clubs, he said waiting for my response."

Jantè came through fa a nigga when he got me a gig opening up Fa Usha.

"Yo Usher this the guy I was telling you about,"Jantè said referring to me.

"Wassup Man,Usher said dapping me up."

"Yo Everyone this is um.. "Usher said not knowing who da fuck I was.

August,I said finishing his sentence.

"August gonna be joining us on the UR EXPERIENCE, so treat him like family. "Usher said as everyone nodded.

I didn't even feel comfortable.

"You'll be rehearsing in that room it'll just be you and DJ SpinKing up on the stage.So don't let me down man."Jantè said walking off.

I called Nicki I just had too I missed ha.

"August did you make it okay,"she asked.

"I'm at work right now but why,she asked."

Jantè got me opening for Usha and ion even think people know about me like that.

"Do it for Mel."

I wiped my tears.

"Baby don't cry ,"she said as I played with my Mic.

I hummed a little as a guy came and put a earpiece in my ear.

"This is all we've been working on, this is your moment,"Jantè said as I nodded.

"We got a new comer here wit us ta'day give it up for AWEGUST ALSEENA,"DJ SpinKing said as I walked out as the crowd went crazy.

DJ SpinKing played my newly recorded single I Luv This Shit , as the beat played.

It's 2 o’clock and I'm faded
This kush feeling amazing
Got a voice mail on my phone
From a lil breezy feeling X-rated
She told a nigga she hurting
I'm in the car and I'm swerving
I walked into her bedroom
I put it down that's certain
Man I stay on that Ciroc
Man I stay taking shots
Man your girl be on my jock

Honestly I can say ah nigga had fun but this show tonight was bound to be the beginning of August Alsina.
