Tik-ing the Tok!
Is it just me or is there a very big double standard on TikTok? Being new to the platform has truly had it's ups and downs. The biggest down being the frustration of having my music video sound muted in an effort to force its removal. And the further insult to injury of actually being copyright claimed on a song that I wrote, produced, and completely own all rights to.
As I scroll through my "For You Page" I am constantly bombarded with profanity, soft porn level nudity and video after video of adult themed content. Most of these videos have upwards of a million views and thousands and thousands of likes. No bans, no sound removals, and no complaints despite being completely inappropriate for kids... Yet my video was taken down and blocked within only a few days of it being posted. I am left shaking my head at this blatent and obvious contradictory standard.
So you tell me, am I missing something here or is my AKA TaBooSouL just too hot for the Tok?

Rising From The Ashes
It has been a very interesting musical journey thus far... I have gone from being on the lips, and minds of so many to almost complete obscurity in the blink of an eye. But I have needed this self imposed isolation and solitude. I needed time to retreat, and a moment to redefine what it truly is I am meant to be and achieve. What has come out of this rebirth/resurrection of sorts is the recognition that true success in life is only achieved when one finally awakens themselves to their deep intrinsic God given purpose which lies dormant within our soul until discovered. The music that I am working on now is truly the blood, sweat and tears of this very quintessence.
