1....winter 2008, a Break-In Records artist, "B", left the studio with a handful of beats to begin on his new LP, Pain Killa, a collaboration with another artist from the label, "P". We never knew this was the last time we would see him, as he was gunned down a short while later.
2 February 2009, my baby sister, whom danced with me for Break-In Records live preformances, told me over the phone that her 3rd trimester of pregnancy made her feel like she couldn't breath and stated "I feel like I'm going to die." I reassured her that all of us women feel that way when we're pregnant. The next thing I heard about my baby sis was that she died of respiratory failure.
3 My unborn nephew couldn't be saved.
4 Fall 2009, a Break-In artist, "M", welcomed a joy into the family. He was named after the late "B". "Baby B" was taken by SIDS that fall.
5 December 2009, my husband, Break-In Records CEO,"K", passed away suddenly from a heart ailment. The label was completely shut down the same month.
Most of the artists and employees went their separate ways, tho many of us keep in touch one way or another. 2010 was our year of much needed recuperation.
6 Just a few short hours ago, I received the tragic news that a former artist "P" (who was to collab with "B" on the Pain Killa project) lost his brand new baby girl on Thursday.
Maybe I'm trippin, but everything I have that says Break-In on it will be out of my house by the end of the day.
It's too much.
