This is my first album! It has been 2 years in the making. I put my heart & soul into this project. I speak from the heart, in hopes that it reaches the heart! I have always wanted to do music, but was always afraid to let people in. I was in fear of not being good enough, & had so much fear of rejection. My first album is called the "The Comeback" for two reasons. One, because I was making music back in the late 90's and just stopped, because like I said, I felt like I wasn't good enough. Two, because not long after I stopped doing the music, I got pretty heavily involved with drugs. I battled with the disease of addiction for many years. I thought I would die a using addict. I was introduced to recovery in Oct. 2011, & started my journey on being clean. The reason I chose the topic "The Comeback" is because it is the comeback of me pursuing my passion with music, and also the comeback of me as a person. My music has a message in it! I am a lyricist! Everything has been done in house on my own. With the help of one of my best friends, J. Quest, who is my producer. All the production is original,with very few samples. I wrote all the lyrics myself. It has been quite the process, & I am grateful to be putting out my very first completed project. I hope you all enjoy listening to my blood, sweat, and tears! All social media is @rival727. Thank you.........Rival
