My Album: Yo Soy La Chocha …
I am updating my profile. Blogger randomly generates a quirky question each time you save changes to your profile. My question requires me to be a musician: You’ve broken up with your old band and are about to release your first solo album. What would you write in the liner notes?
I try to type the answer in the little box they’ve provided, but I’m limited to 150 characters. So, instead of posting it there, I’m posting it here. Here we go … Pretend that my album, Yo Soy La Chocha De Tu Madre, is just about to drop …

Thanks … Thanks be to God above for inspiring me to leave that deadweight of a band behind. This diva was born to be on stage. Alone.Sophie, baby, I love you! I have the best family in the world. Jimmy, take care of her or I’ll kick your ass. To my two darling nephews: I’m putting aside a little bit of the money that I generate from album sells. After I take my trips around the world, buy an apartment in Manhattan and a summer home in South America — I am paying your college tuition, sweeties.
I have nothing but love in my heart for Michael Ealy, Denzel Washington, Taye Diggs and a bunch of other fine brothers. David Beckham, Paul Walker, and Jason Lewis — you inspired the song “You Make Me Believe in Blondes”.
Sending a shout out to the Stolie Nation and all of my favorite bloggers. You know who you are.
Mags, Bro, Pegs and Maria. I love you guys.
To everyone at Roc-A-Fella Records, thank you for supporting my work. When I showed other record labels my demo tape, they shuddered in fear. They refused to release my album because of the track “I Shot 50 Cent.” But, you held your ground. For that, I am indebted to you. Don’t worry. He’s not going to kill you. Or me. God bless.
