I haven’t posted on this blog in ages nor do I care to start a personal tumblr for fear that I may never catch up to the people that Drake feels sorry for. With all that said, this video deserves attention.

Off Legit‘s (@chicagolives) mixtape “Coloring Outside The Lines”.

I’m a year or so late but have recently become smitten with the music of the Swaggstas. My favorite song off of the project is  9.Insomniac. It represents the future of this world (Generation Y). We do not sleep because we want to be unhealthy, we don’t sleep because we strive to be successful. The entire project is a unique gem that I have listened to 10 or so times since last week. Support the Swaggstas, they have a bright future in store.

Inspiration at its finest. This young man embodies the ethos of this blog. (Jay-Z voice from Hot 97 Funk Flex freestyles) ‘And he’s only 14!’ I love the new crop of young entrepreneurs and investors that I have been meeting and learning about. The Future is Bright.

“By age 14, Damon Williams has built a portfolio worth $50,000, knows blue chips like most kids know potato chips and saves more than he spends. Is this Chicago teen an investing freak of nature? Quite likely. Even so, most of us could learn a thing or two from him. Damon was just 5 years old when he bought his first share of Nike stock, and his story is a perfect illustration of one of the lesser-known applications of the phrase “time is money.” In this case, the longer you’re able to keep your money in the market, the more likely you are to make big bucks investing in stocks. Damon’s smart use of his Christmas-present cash demonstrates a few of the many reasons this is true:” – MSN

Impressive video by the New York via Chicago duo. I witnessed a performance by the group a few months ago at Blender Theater in NY. They are a group to watch. Props on the video’s art direction. Enjoy the video.
