This morning my baby Amari and I said goodbye to daddy NHD. We saw him off to the airport with heavy hearts, and sad faces. Even though he will only be away for 6 weeks, it feels like an eternity.
One of the dilemmas of being a recording artist in Canada, is that there isn't enough happening here, so we artists have to venture out to other countries. NHD has gone back to London to work. He is a British boy, born in Namibia, but grew up in London, which is a mecca for anything in the entertainment world. We will be joining him in England in a couple months, but for now he is there, hard at work, and we are here, in the "getting colder" Canada. Such is life!
To be honest, it feels a little overwhelming to be without him and have our 5 week old baby to look after. I am blessed not to be a single mother, however I now can relate to all the single mothers out there. We are strong, fearless women, and I have even more respect for our sometimes under appreciated jobs as mothers. My mom was a single mother for a long time, with 3 kids, and she conquered it.
At the end of the day, though it may be daunting to have to look after a small baby on your own, daddy is out there providing for his family. I am also working, doing my best to juggle both my business, HunnyB Entertainment, and my new life as a mother. Today was the first day without NHD, and so far so good. I will get back to you after the 6 weeks are up and update you on the reality of how difficult juggling work and family life will inevitably be.
I am ready though, so let's go! I have already mastered breastfeeding and recording simultaneously so bring on whatever other challenges may come with the territory. Though now I am thinking to be careful for what I ask for lol; I could be over my head.
In the meantime, we will take it one step at a time. We will pray that daddy gets all his business taken care of successfully, and that he gets back to Canada safe and sound.
We love you daddy!

Behind My Project - Round & Round Ft. Joe Budden (OUT SEPT. 14th, 2013)
I wrote the single "Round & Round," produced by NHD of NHD Productions Inc., in Atlanta, Georgia, while I was there promoting my HunnyB brand. The story of the song was inspired by one of my relationship experiences, and a girlfriend's experience as well. Women are notorious for taking back the men who cheated on them. I have never understood this. However, I have been the victim of being in a love triangle, though I never knew it at the time. I was being played. If I had known about the other woman, I would have been out so fast, however a lot of women I know have been too weak to leave. I would never judge them, as I know when you are in love, you make every excuse to justify your man's behavior. There is always that guilt though, that lingers and the song is about that guilt.
I wrote this record with the intention of it being a solo record, meaning only me on the track. Then one day we had the opportunity to work with Joe Budden, and I thought, "Yes, let's get him on Round & Round." I wanted to work with Joe on something eventually, so I contacted his manager. I knew I needed to send him a dope record he would want to be a part of. Needless to say, he loved the song, and in less than a week he had recorded his verse, and sent it back. He was even in the middle of touring with Slaughterhouse, so I was excited that he took the time to go into the studio so fast.
The verse Joe did really "rounds" out the song.
The single comes out September 14th, 2013 on Itunes and all other online stores. We are hoping to garner a lot of press, as we intend to raise money to shoot the music video. I spoke to Joe Budden's manager about the video, and they are down. Now all we need is the funds, and away we go:)
This will be a great challenge, and one I look forward to accomplishing. Dream Big...Do BIgger!
