What "BlaqcRain" mean to me?
So the the name "BlaqcRain" is something that has stuck with me since I was a sophomore in high school. It was when the black tear drop tattoos started to be a controversial issue in the media. I was interested in it because, I recognize this particular tattoo in gangster movies and also hip-hop videos.
(The black teardrop tattoo symbolizes a murder done by that person.)
Knowing that I wanted to make it something of my own. Something that would symbolize me and what I believed in. Most of you know that I am heavily in to music, whether its creating it, giving my suggestions,writing, or listening to great music period.
So, the "teardrop" I broke it down to what I thought it looked like, which was rain.
And rain represents my cool, calming personality and my ability to flow with people easily. My ability to make people feel comfortable around me and also being able to build a trust with those people.
But "black", was the twist of the whole name. Black represented murder but not killing someone but something. Having the rage of a murderer but channeling it into something that can change the world. Something that I could loose all control on and I was free to express my true feelings!
M U S I C!!! M U S I C!!!! M U S I C!!!
Any time I was making, or listening to music I had a different attitude. I was in a creative murderous mood and I felt every piano, every kick drum and every bass that was meant to thump all around you.
It was like traveling in and out of a outer body experience and it was amazing.
Ever since then, BlaqcRain (once spelled BlackRain) as intertwined its self around my life and music forever.
