But, it is now officially summer, and no mixtape. With no signs of Soulja in sight, but now he has appeared to speak about why he's been MIA, and what happened to the mixtape he promised.
He says "I've been away getting me together as a artist. I always seem to say that, but for some reason I felt as if I wasn't ready musically. To be honest I had put so much false courage into myself with the mixtape. That when it came down to it. I just wasn't up to par. When I finally realized that... I went into shut down mode."
He continues by saying... "I worked on "Return to the Underground" mixtape as much as I could. Going back, and fixing loose ends on pre-recorded songs. But, not really writing anything new. Then, the horror happened. The hard drive I backed up my files on went missing, on top of computer failure which costed me all the files for my next album, and the mixtape. So, I was back at square one with nothing. And, not having the spirit to record, or produce anything new. Mentally it was exhausting to deal with that I just lost 2 years worth of production, and music. Nothing, that I could bring back, and re-record. Plus, I had so much going on in my personal life. I just had to break away. And, that what I did."
So, the question is... what now? Soulja gives the explanation of what e is going to do as of now. He says "Rebuild.. That's what I'm going to do. I'm back into the habit of producing. Trying to rekindle some relationships with artist I fell out with. And, come back strong lyrically, and just as a complete artist. Hopefully get everyone on the same page as me, and do the damn thing as a family. As things once was with everyone on the label."
With all that being said.. Is Soulja going to release something soon? The answer maybe YES. But, it will take time to find out...
