  Well its summer time again. You know the time for BBQ, b-ball and all you sexy ladies get to out your short shorts and halter tops and us dudes can stay fly rocking shorts, a fresh pair of sneaks and a wife-beater (or tank top to those offended by slang lol).

  
  

   

  
  

   

  
  

  Me, I'm a winter baby, born in December and love it. I'm not always one for the heat, but I can say I love the summer activities for the most part as long as I don't burn up.

  
  

   

  
  

   

  
  

  Regardless of the weather, this much I know is true; Cleveland is a great place to live any time of the year.

  
  

   

  
  

  So in the spirit of summer and remembering the good times that come with the weather, I recently decided to take a camera down to some of the spots that meant a lot to me growing up around the City and share some of my memories about these places with ya’ll so you can get to know me and my city a little better.

  
  

   

  
  

   

  
  

  Throughout the rest of the summer, I’ll be dropping some new videos from time to time detailing some spots that meant a lot to me growing up and still do to this day. My main goal is to fill you all in on some of the things that went on in my life that made me the man I am today and also to show you the beauty of Cleveland and help you see what the City’s all about and also the way things are changing around here. I’d love to hear your feedback and comments on everything (and let me know if I got a future in TV lol).

  
  

   

  
  

   

  
  

  So here’s the first part of what I’m calling “QP’s Tour of Cleveland”. Thanks for tuning in!!

  Integrity

  

  
  

  By definition it means: fidelity to moral principles; honesty, soundness and completeness.

  
  

  To me it means whatever you can do in the dark make sure you are also able to do in the light and always be able to do it with class. This plays a big part in the entertainment field and not just in music, but in any form of entertainment. You can’t front on people in the business these days. To be a real entertainer, you gotta come as a real person.

  
  

  I’m not obligated to be a role model. Although, I think it’s naturally within me to want to be an admirable person, I realize that there are plenty of other entertainers who take pride in being the exact opposite. I say this to you all because I find myself slipping sometimes and forget that I am in the spotlight and what I’m doing can potentially help build my career or destroy my reputation at any given second. I don't just use this thought process because I’m an entertainer. I use this in everyday life. CLICK HERE TO CONTINUE READING THIS STORY [http://www.qpborn2win.com/2008/06/integrity.html]

  This is Work!

  

  
  

  I’ve got news for anybody that thinks being a musician is all fun and games. Becoming a successful musician involves the same sort of competition a businessman, athlete or any other professional faces in their career. There’s one thing that stays the same no matter what job you’re working. In order to advance, get promoted or stand out from the rest, you have to put in WORK.

  
  

   

  
  

  There is NO easy way in, but sometimes it seems like people have made it in without learning how much work is actually required and then find out even quicker, as easy as it was to get in it’s even easier to be put out. CLICK HERE TO READ MORE.

  A Level Head

  

  
  

  What up world? QP is in the building and he’s officially blogging!

  
  

   

  
  

  I want to start off by answering some of the questions I’ve been getting from fans all over the world (thanks to everyone that’s reached out!). Within the answers, I’ll also be letting you know about my journey through this great business of music and entertainment.

  
  

  I’ll be interviewing myself today, but don’t worry I’m not going to start a QP vs. Q.I.P thing, but somebody’s gotta ask the questions and I gave my publicist the day off.

  
  

   

  
  

  Born 2 Win Blog: QP, what motivated you to start making music?

  
  

   

  
  

  QP: Honestly, I started with poetry. When I was in elementary school, I had an English teacher that gave us a poem journal. In order to pass the class we had to write a poem every day. It wasn’t my favorite thing to do at the time, but that taught me to be creative with words and rhyming. As I got into it more, people started to recognize that what I was doing was really unique, so that motivated me to keep going with it.

  
  

   

  
  

  The older I got I started listening to more music and that started influencing my writing and made me want to flip some of those poetry skills into songs. CLICK HERE TO CONTINUE READING...
