control of me, I didn’t
even see it happening … just going further out there. Then you look
in the mirror one day and realize, ‘Wow, I don’t like what I see.’ I
knew I had to do something about it. I had a long run for, like, probably 10 years with no
vacation,” he explained. “I never went out. I was not the guy at the
club. I was almost scared of going to the club. All of a sudden, I
found myself working with certain artists from L.A. and hanging out in
L.A. and being introduced to a whole new lifestyle … and getting in
trouble with them…It wasn’t like an escape for me. It was more like I was having
so much fun and, for the first time being let out of the studio, it was
like the mad scientist on the loose,” he continued. “All of sudden,
pictures were snapping and I was famous and it went to my head, I
guess. I had to come back to earth…We all think we’re not going to get that point,” he said about
losing control. “It sneaks up on you real fast. … You don’t think
it’s affecting you, but it does. People probably didn’t enjoy talking
to me when I was high on cocaine, ’cause I had a friend of mine saying
[recently], ‘This is the first time I talked to you ever. You’re
focused on the conversation; you’re focused on everything you do.
You’re more methodical with your thinking.’ It’s serious.”
See kids, if you get hooked, it’s no one else’s fault. So don’t do it !

Masego continues to show his creativity and versatility with Studying Abroad: Extended Stay. The combination of live instrumentation, smooth vocals, and West Indian influences makes this project an exciting listening experience. Adding new collaborations with talented artists gives fans even more reasons to explore the album and appreciate its musical diversity. I also appreciate how music and learning can connect through creativity, exploration, and new experiences. In the same way that listeners explore different musical styles, people can improve their practical skills by learning useful techniques such as "How to calculate proportions easily". Understanding proportions can make everyday calculations, comparisons, and problem solving much simpler. This is a great reminder that exploring new ideas can be rewarding in music, education, and daily life.
