Recovery

Stop the press. Alcohol is not always fun. Or. After alcohol am I not always funny?
After two decades of abuse I am two months dry and counting. To 'celebrate' the previous twenty-odd odd years a solo album 'Recovery' is in pre-production highlighting the ups and downs of a life soaked in booze. There may be trouble ahead but there's a lot still vivid in the rear view mirror and whilst writing more honest and revelatory lyrics is cathartic for me I hope entertaining still.
I have never performed live sober. Before last week at the Jazz Cafe, (props to Jehst and Snuff for keeping Jazz T in work as his crew slowly comes round), I had not been out at night less than half cut for years. Years. Tonight we go again to Raekwon The Chef. Tonic water, ice and a slice. Meeting people I know for the very first time, again.
Check out the forthcoming Diversion Tactics single 'Can't Swim' and album track ' Twelve Steps' for a taste of things to come. Seven years since 'Pubs, Drunks and Hip Hop. Ouch.
On a lighter note the single's flipside 'Back to School' is J-Zone produced and funny as fuck. Wish me luck tonight, if not then buy me a drink...
