...starting with the fact that most of them don’t go to the people you think. The blog explains how big companies and wealthy groups get help from the government all the time, even while regular people get blamed for needing support. If you’ve ever wondered why the word handout only gets used on the poor, this post will open your eyes fast. While breaking down the song, I learned how much of our economy is built on government deals, tax breaks, and programs that quietly help businesses. Most people think “handouts” means someone being lazy, but it usually means something much bigger: how the system is set up. Once you see how common corporate help really is, the whole story changes. The blog gives simple examples and explains the ideas behind the lyrics in a clear way.

Most people think the Monday Update is just numbers and announcements — but this one exposes the truth behind the grind, the setbacks, the wins, and the decisions that shaped everything coming in 2026. When I sat down to record this month's update, I realized something wild: Every project from Handouts to Farming Humans to What Now 2 traces back to one theme — how to build something that lasts without a label, without industry backing, and without guaranteed income. This month’s update isn’t just a recap.It's a look at what I learned from: • releasing 233 tracks across 10 albums and 8 EPs • applying for grants to keep the music going • building a system to drop every Friday • fighting through mental health challenges while staying grateful • rewriting my entire marketing approach • and realizing that without community support, the weekly music releases cannot continue You’ll also hear about: • the 2026 albums already in motion • the feature track pipeline • why I scrapped Instagram sponsorships • the mastermind lessons that did help • and why December’s releases mark a turning point If you’ve ever wondered how an independent artist builds a catalog this big on disability income while trying to stay sane, strategic, and sustainable… these updates are for you.
