RUDE AWAKENING CD is the life story of Tight Eyez. The story is one of struggle and unfortunately has many dark chapters. Keeping the music strictly traditional hip-hop didn’t give the story the proper setting. It required hard & heavy electric guitars to emphasize the hard & heavy stories. On the other hand there were also uplifting chapters.

The story starts after the intro by going into the danger and the fight attitude that he had to face as he was growing up with tracks 2 & 3. Track 4 deals with the youngster’s feelings about the situations he had to deal with, and especially that he didn’t have anyone there to help him understand.

Tracks 5 & 6 bring him to the truth that makes him angry again and the pain continues until he reaches the end of his rope. When all hope was lost and he was about to give up came the voice, and with it, the change. After that the struggle continues, but this time there is hope. This is the tale of the RUDE AWAKENING of Ceasare’ L. Willis aka tight Eyez.
