I Cant Miss - Chapter 99 College
Riri started coming around more as she finally found a building we could use to build our studio in and our whole brand. I gave her a couple of names to go search for in order to add to our new record label like J Cole, Kendrick Lamar, Nate Jol, Nikki Minaj, Future, and Cardi B.
When I gave her those names she looked at me weird like who are these people. I quickly explained to her that these were people that were going to be part of our start-up record label. She should treat them well and try to get them in before someone else snatches them.
Riri didn’t understand but she listened to her man as she ordered her workers to get to work looking for these artists. Nate was pretty easy to find as he lived in my neighborhood so all I had to do was go pick him up from my old neighborhood and explain things to him.
Half the people on the list weren’t even rappers yet so for us to approach them confused them but thankfully I already had the songs they would sing or rap in the future in my head so all I had to do was write it down and have them perform it.
I was going to spend a lot of money on my brand to come up with my own station where we play their songs only and it was going to be nothing but fire songs. I was going to get into contact with other rappers for collaboration in order to build up momentum.
Lil Wayne and Drake were on fire that year and were featured in every track you can think of. After finalizing everything with Riri we had some fun together before I had to kick her out to get some studies done.
I started spending more time with Isabella after I found out she had gained one of my abilities which were she couldn’t miss when she shot the ball. I was surprised by this and couldn’t wait to see how her future would turn out as she started to love basketball too.
I wondered If all my kids would inherit my abilities as I made sure I wouldn’t have too many of them if that was the case. I didn’t want to break the future too much with my offsprings. I went to support Isabella in all her games and had taught her a few moves to compliments her new style which was to be a shooter.
I made sure she got the right training with building upper arm strength, legs, and stamina since she lacked those the most. She would be shooting and running most of the time so her building on those will help her get better.
It was quite an experience seeing the little one playing games and dominating, even watching her take her first loss was quite an experience for me and in order to not get her discouraged I still had a celebration after the game.
I could tell she was surprised by that and could tell she was trying to please me in every game by doing our best but I had to tell her to relax and do what makes her happy instead of trying to please others. Sometimes in life, we have to take a loss but that loss should motivate you to get stronger and elevate your game, not just stay the same, level up.
Eventually, they got through the season with only one lost and were they able to even beat the team that they had lost against the first time. I could tell that they had gotten better after that game because the team needed that loss in order to get stronger.
After they went on a winning streak they thought they were unbeatable and had become lazy, but there’s always somebody better especially after I had faced off against Aki did I realize that I had to elevate my game once more. In football, we had won the national title against LSU.
It was such a tough match and without me, I doubt we would have won or had even gotten to that level. After winning that title a lot of people that didn’t know I was a basketball player started to say that I would draft into the NFL after this season as the number one pick.
ESPN had cleared up that rumor real quick by saying that I was just helping out a team and I’m more likely to go into the NBA rather than the NFL but a lot of people were also spreading rumors that I’ll be going into both NFL and NBA which caused everybody to laugh because they had never seen anybody do that before.
Playing both football and basketball but I had done it in high school and college so the possibilities were strong. These arguments were all over the internet and in sports talk shows. I ignored all the noise and focused on what I was doing, which was studying hard, practice hard, train hard and in business, we were making big moves.
I was on a roll and felt like things were too perfect when things are too perfect and I felt like a storm was brewing. If another Aki appeared I wouldn’t be shocked at this time and I’ll try my best to stay level-headed.
I had once again received another trophy and another metal to add to my ever-growing collections. Football was just a side hobby for me and I didn’t really take it seriously. I was just helping out the team after I’d explained that in a press conference everybody understood my role in football and stop talking about all the rumors of me drafting into the NFL.
It was my birthday month after the football season ended. We had a couple of basketball games as we blew them all out thanks to me. I was still coming off the bench as me and the bench squad was dominating. Momba had moved from bench to starter which surprised me but it seems like he wanted to stand out more instead of riding my fame.
