Sitting in the Relax Records office headquarters in Manhattan, I count out money rubber banding the amount when it's correct. I lick my thumb to count each $100 bill better counting the amount under my breath. This past couple of days I quickly realized how big of a part Athena plays in my record label since she's gone on her honeymoon with Glock. I was a little spoiled because she does everything as far as planning. With Saweetie's EP, High Maintenance, releasing in a couple of days it's crunch time to finish the last minute details.
I put one rubber banded stack on the table as my employee of my record label stands in front of me. "That's the $1,000 for the release party venue. This one's for the release party catering. Lastly, this one's for Saweetie's wardrobe budget for the release party. Tell her it's a performance outfit and one for the party." The young lady looks at each large stack of money grabbing them. "Next time it'll be a check, but just take the cash," I clarify. She nods her head leaving my office.
I know I shouldn't be paying with cash because there's no way to trace it in case something goes wrong, but it's what I had on hand. I've been so busy working I've been all over the place. At this point I'm basically working three jobs and wearing three different hats.
Warner Bros. was handling everything else cost wise, but it's my job to make sure the release party happens. On a personal note, I didn't think it was needed, but business wise I know it is. People in the industry have to be invited, so they can hear it first. Saweetie has to mingle with her peers whether it's other artists or important people in the music industry, so they can open doors for her. Connections... this whole industry is about connections truthfully.
I look at the one stack of money left moving it from my lap to the coffee table. My office was just like I wanted. A desk, a sitting area with couches, and a tv. I grab the tv remote pushing the power button watching as the flatscreen hanging on the wall turns on. The tv happens to turn on with the channel on the news.
I smack my lips unintentionally when they're talking about the club shooting that happened the other night. Not because I don't care about the innocent people that were hurt, but because it's partially my fault and it could've been avoided. I was under the influence and ready to fuck my girl when I gave Gunz the green light. I didn't think he was just going to wildly shoot up the club hitting everybody, but Casanova... at least from my knowledge.
