Eternal Alchemist

  One thing I’m starting to deeply understand is the subliminal power of the universe—and how it’s always listening. Every word, thought, and emotion we put out is echoed back into our world in some shape or form. It’s easy to say, “This platform keeps showing me triggering content,” but have you ever stopped to consider that maybe the universe is reflecting an energy back to you—something you’re already feeling inside? That maybe it’s trying to speak your subconscious language in real time? Let me give a personal example. I can talk about this now because I’ve gained clarity. When the Kendrick and Drake beef happened, it hit different for me. Yes, I enjoyed the back-and-forth lyrically, but a part of me felt triggered. It stirred something old—memories of tension, of not handling conflict the right way. It made me reflect on my past, especially as an artist who’s walked away from things that no longer served me. J. Cole’s decision to gracefully bow out of that battle really...

  Lately, I’ve been wondering… is nostalgia quietly killing the culture? Are we so focused on looking back that we forget to fully exist in the present? I love and respect my ancestors, I really do—but sometimes it feels like “ancestral veneration” gets used as a tool to keep us locked into the past. We hold on to traditions that were passed down through people who, let’s be honest, often passed down cycles that need to be broken. Even when we talk about the so-called “Gods,” I have to question… if they were truly all-powerful, wouldn’t they still be here? Wouldn’t we see more evidence of their evolution, not just their stories? The more I study and experience life, the more I realize—there really isn’t much that’s new. Music is sampling older generations. Pop culture thrives on throwbacks and ‘90s baby nostalgia. It’s like we’re stuck in a loop, where “learning from the past” has become an excuse to stay trapped in it. Think about it… in school, we learned about slavery, not...

  Lately, I’ve been noticing a narrative pop up in my timeline: that people have changed their tune on Kobe Bryant ever since he passed. And while I agree that’s true, I think the deeper issue lies in the toxic culture surrounding the “Greatest of All Time” conversation. Basketball — like life — is a team sport. Sure, individual talent stands out. That’s why we have awards like MVP, Defensive Player of the Year, Most Improved Player, and so on. But if you ask anyone who’s competed at the highest level, they’ll tell you the same thing: no one gets to the top alone. It takes a team. A perfect example? The 2025 NBA Champions, the Oklahoma City Thunder. While they may not get all the recognition they deserve, I deeply respect them because they embody what happens when a team-first mentality leads the way. Even when one player shines, the whole squad celebrates like they all won MVP — and in a way, they did. What bothers me most about the GOAT debate is how often it becomes a comp...

  Love Through Transparency A few days ago, I was on the phone with my boy 33. We were chopping it up, catching up on life, kicking spiritual game, and sharing our passion for music and future plans. During the convo, we reflected on how our bond started—how in the beginning, I was guarded and hesitant to be fully open with him. The truth is, I had been open with people in the past, and it left me heartbroken—resentful, even. I didn’t want to feel that pain again. So naturally, I kept my walls up. But despite my resistance, 33 created a space where I felt safe to be real. Transparent. Over time, that foundation evolved into something solid—now, we’re like brothers. If I haven’t heard from him in a while, I’ll hit him up. He does the same for me. We’re both strong-minded with bold opinions, and we don’t always agree—but we never take it personally. We operate on the frequency of love. And that love started with transparency. See, a lot of people don’t feel like they have s...

Recently, I came to a deep realization about myself. It hit me while reflecting on both my True Sky Sidereal chart and my Tropical chart. In my tropical chart, I have a Capricorn Moon, and in True Sky, I have a Sagittarius Moon. At first glance, these placements may seem different — one grounded and stoic, the other philosophical and free-spirited — but what they both have in common is this: I often tend to intellectualize my emotions rather than feel them. I catch myself analyzing, rationalizing, and philosophizing about my experiences instead of letting myself sit in the rawness of what I’m going through. I try to make sense of pain instead of simply feeling it. Growing up, I was raised in a household where emotions weren’t really discussed — not until they became too intense to ignore. I watched both of my parents bury their emotions in hard work and walk on eggshells around their own feelings. So naturally, I internalized that approach. If you know me, you know I create a m...

Peace and elevation. My name is Eternal Life The Alchemist, and this space marks the beginning of a new chapter in my creative journey—a reflective blog called The Eternal Alchemists. While music has always been my primary medium, I’ve come to realize that certain insights, revelations, and inner shifts don’t always fully translate through sound alone. Communication has always been one of my strongest gifts, and this platform allows me to express myself in a different, more expansive way—through the written word. I was inspired by two of my great friends, Telly and Woodgrain, who created their own blog spaces to share their inner worlds, thoughts, and perspectives. Their bravery and authenticity encouraged me to explore this path, and I honor them for planting that seed. I’ve never wanted to box myself into just one form of expression. Music was the gateway, but it led me to discover so much more—writing, introspection, healing, and transformation. I’ve already published a personal jou...
