Writing comes more easily if you have something to say.-Sholem Asch
As a society filled a number of different ideas, we never really know how far our thoughts can really take us. We start off as having dreams of doing this and doing that to then after a period of time, end up doing something completely different. However, regardless of how ever changing our minds may be when determining what moves us, what it really comes down to is the fact that we're still being inspired and more than ever.
Our next feature is so inspired, that his dreams have allowed him to take off and set forth toward what he wants most. This interestingly enough, happens to be the ability to make impact using music as a catalyst. Em Dot, an upcoming hip hop artist from Connecticut has gotten to a point where he's ready to fly. In fact, Em Dot is at a point where he's on auto-pilot which also serves as the name of his latest project.
