Clockwork: Why Lower-Tier Jobs Are Micromanaged Into Machines

Clockwork: Why Lower-Tier Jobs Are Micromanaged Into Machines

Workers at the bottom of the pay scale are timed like machines, forced to live by the stopwatch with no room for humanity. Meanwhile, higher-paid professionals are trusted with freedom — judged by output instead of minutes on the clock. This imbalance says less about efficiency and more about power, respect, and who society chooses to value.

Make It for You First: Why the Best Art Starts With Self-Satisfaction

Like Alchemist, I create for myself first. The work has to satisfy me before anyone else. Then I focus on one person I know truly connects with my art — if they love it, I know I’ve done my job. Everything else is a bonus.

Why Do Y’all Love Tony Montana So Much?!

Tony Montana was never goals. He was paranoid, sloppy, and thought with his ego instead of his mind. This article breaks down why idolizing him says more about us than it does about his legend. Don’t get inspired by a crashout. Learn from him instead.

THE 45-MINUTE RESET: Why My Haircuts Are Therapeutic (Even If I Don’t Vent)

For a lot of Black men, therapy doesn’t happen on a couch—it happens in a barber’s chair. I may not vent to my barber, but every cut feels like a reset. No stress, no overthinking—just precision, peace, and presence. And with a woman as my barber, that touch hits different. Here's why my 45-minute haircut is my quiet form of healing.

Mental Image Training is Real: Here's Proof

Most people think real improvement only happens through physical practice. But mental image training — vividly imagining yourself succeeding — can build real skills too. I saw it firsthand when my imaginary basketball drills led to me draining shots like Steph Curry without touching a ball for weeks. Here’s how powerful the mind really is.

MY DEEPEST DISCOVERY - out now on all streaming platforms - finally!!

Been a long time coming and its finally here !!! Please Enjoy !

LEVELING UP COMES WITH ASSISTANCE

LEVELING UP COMES WITH ASSISTANCE

February 27, 2025


Every time I’ve leveled up in life, it came with some form of assistance—divine timing, the right person stepping in, or a door opening at the perfect moment. It’s never been just me grinding alone; the pieces always align when I’m ready for the next step.

WELÇOME's Breakthrough: The Domestic Plug

When I first started pushing WELÇOME heavy, my main goal was to secure a domestic distributor. At the time, I was paying too much with my international supplier, and unless I had big orders, I’d take a loss. I accepted that as part of the process—loss leaders are a natural part of business—but I knew I needed profit to keep things moving.

I wrote down the goal: Get a domestic distributor.

Then, as my sales grew, the opportunity literally presented itself, just as I had written. Since making that switch, WELÇOME has been booming, and my costs are down while my profits are up. That level-up wasn’t just about working hard; it came with the right connection at the right time.

My Deepest Discovery: An Album by JHarry, executive produced by DJ Mic Jack

My Deepest Discovery: A Necessary Assist

I’ve been working on My Deepest Discovery for two years. The project was basically done, but for some reason, I hadn’t pulled the trigger on releasing it. Something in me felt like I was missing a final piece.

Then, out of nowhere, my boy Jack hit me up:
"Bro, let me engineer your next tape."

I didn’t hesitate—bet. I had all the songs ready, so I sent them over. What Jack did with the mixes was something I simply couldn’t have done myself. I lack the technical skills he has, and his ear brought out a new level of depth in my music. That’s when it hit me: this is about to be a big project.

I’ve had moments like this before—"Long May He Reign" opened doors for me, and "Twerkin in the Rain" had a semi-viral moment. But this time, with Jack locked in and us working on a full project together for the first time since high school, I feel like something special is about to happen.

Why would this collaboration come together now, after all these years, if it wasn’t leading to something major?

So here it is: My Deepest Discovery drops 3.13.2025 on all streaming platforms.
Pre-orders coming soon. Let’s see where this level-up takes me.



Edit: this article was published after the release of my deepest discovery , so you can get the album now, head to the merchandise tab to purchase and its on streaming.

2023 ANNUAL YEAR END ADDRESS

AGE AND MUSIC

Age and Music

October 12, 2022

Two careers that a young black boy will always take an interest in are, Rapping and Athletics. Most people have done both feats and most haven’t made any professional stride in either category. Most of them starts young as well. I never wanted to be a professional athlete but please believe I love rapping with all my heart. I’ve been rapping since maybe 2000. I really started consistently writing raps in the 7th grade but I wrote my first rap way earlier, it was a rap about shoelaces lol. During that same week I wrote my first song called “Oreo Klondike Bar” lmao. I wrote it in the vein of RUNDMC’s My Adidas lol. If you know me my first song being about Oreos makes perfect sense lmao.

Fast forward as I get older with music around 18/19 I started locking in with my younger cousin Khalil, who was around 12/13 at the time. So basically I became his mentor and started getting his rapping chops right. When he started writing it was a struggle because he was so young so he didn’t have much experience in life, I was only a few years older, but those few years makes a difference.

Me and Khalil first and final tape together released in 2011, due to tragic events we could not complete the second one even though we worked on it. #LongLiveKhalil

When we would be writing together I told him “Cuz just focus on yo flow because nobody grown wanna hear you because you too young to talk about something relatable.” That’s when he would start going and start focusing on playing with how he said things rather than what he said. I can remember coaching him on saying the same part fifty different times lmao. Man those were great times, as time started to progress, he started digging deeper, and was starting to fight the reverse ageism against his lyrical content.

With the combination of him studying music on his own and me co-writing his verses, he started to understand himself as an artist. It got to a point where he would send me hooks and songs that I didn’t write his verse or anything, and I would be impressed like Damn cuz you wrote this?

For anyone who starts music young this is basically all our story not just Khalil’s. When you’re young making music, you’re either capping way too much or talking about some absolute bs. The younger you are you should just focused on sounding good, learning how to write, and studying music. Then when you’re older you’ll gain actual experience which you could translate into songs.

Its amazing as an artist to reach a point where you can take a situation or event in your life and write a song about that one specific thing and not get off topic, while rhyming and actual sounding dope. That’s why I’m so excited to see younger people get that spark to want to do music, but I hate the people that get into to waste time and not take it serious.

I don’t wanna hear no 14 year old talking about smoking opps, racks going crazy, and a whole bunch of dumb stuff we know you not doing, If your idiotic self is actually doing it then we got bigger problems then music because you’re heading down the path of destruction. Its getting real Dennis the Menace in this bih lmao ( but a 100 times worse).

Remember Bow Wow started young but no grown man wanted to hear him as a little boy. He was for little girls, as he aged he still had a female target audience, but his content grew and matured, proving my age and music point.

If you’re a young a preteen/teen don’t ever get discouraged from pursuing your genuine interest in rapping. Yes we have enough rappers and most are extremely trash and posisbly destructive to our community but I believe in people following their passion. Who cares if its a thousand rappers, its only one you! Invest in yourself, let time be your teacher, and grow, grow, grow!

PLAIN LANGUAGE: THE BRIDGE BETWEEN LAWYERS AND NON-LEGAL PROFESSIONALS

PLAIN LANGUAGE: THE BRIDGE BETWEEN LAWYERS AND NON-LEGAL PROFESSIONALS

DISCLAIMER: THIS IS NOT LEGAL ADVICE IN ANY SHAPE OR FORM AND SHOULD NOT BE TAKEN AS SUCH.

The disconnect between legal professionals and non-legal professionals seem more distant now than ever. There’s clauses for clauses, words the average person would never understand, and a bunch of mumbo jumbo in between you may think to yourself, “screw it I’ll sign this let’s just get this over already”.

The Beginning of One of Kanye’s Many Music Contracts

The Beginning of One of Kanye’s Many Music Contracts

However thinking back to Kanye’s tirade earlier this year about deceptive business practices in music contracts and even recently with Dave Chappelle’s situation with not wanting the Chappelle Show to be streamed anywhere(due to his lack of just compensation), maybe its just time to write contracts how we are actually speaking.

https://www.instagram.com/tv/CH-rR9znT3g/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link ( Dave Chappelle’s Unforgiven)

Thinking back to my drafting class in law school, our biggest assignment was to correct a lengthy contract and make it as plain/simple as possible. Let me be the first to tell you that was a real chore to do. If I had to see another “hereforth” “thereafter” or some other term we never say I was going to lose my wig. If I was feeling that as law student, with SOME understanding of the law, imagine a young guy/gal with NO LAWYER (or a very sleazy one) feel like.

Plain Language can operate as the much needed bridge between the legal world and those who operate outside of it. Legal Professionals think with a whole different brain than other people, some of the words I use with my non-legal friends, I know they say, “Harry what the heck are you talking about”. So Imagine an experienced Lawyer using their full arsenal of vocabulary in contract negotiations, it makes my head just thinking about it.

Even in my business practices, plain language has been at the core of my contracts, its as simple as “abc” and “xyz”. The question remains is why aren’t contracts reflecting plain language more often? Do Lawyers want to prove their extreme intelligence? Is it to hide deceptive practices in plain sight? Or is it a “this is how we’ve always done it” thing, so no one has the courage to break free from it?

Whatever the reason is, plain language need to be adapted, so each party can know exactly what is required from them in the deal and for absolute fairness to be ensured!
