My name is William L. Elder. Born in Las Vegas NV, Veteran of the U.S. Army/Guard and Emcee to this day. As "Elder-Son" I have 10 official releases. Yet almost nothing to show for it. Here is why.
When I was 22 years old, back in 2014, a fellow veteran named Nathaniel Robert Lee Manderich stole 10,000 USD from me after promising me that he would earn income for us in stock bonds. During that time I was taking 12 different meds from the VA. Didn't know any better about anything, even though I did. I felt like a zombie being used by the public. 10k, of a backpay earned in the service GONE because some other dib-wad asshole thought it would be a better idea to rob someone vs getting their own benefits. That's okay though. He is homeless now. Suffering on the Flamingo Bus last time I saw him. Then wrote a song about it haha.
Anyways I've been very depressed thinking about not just that but also the time that city courts had the balls to call me racist. Judge Martin D Hastings, one of the cities largest coke heads threw me in jail for 14 days after another tweaker lied on an official report about me. I hold a copy of that report till' this day. Thank god I did favors for the D.I.A. Defense Intelligence Agency during my time in service. They come in handy when it comes to letting the police know who becomes a priority in this town. So much hardship endured in my HOMETOWN mind you. This is way beyond unfair.
Now I'm seeing this artist "Sober Junkie" who was HANDED $20,000 to do his music and FUCK IT OFF faster than he could write a song. It's like, I want to meet this dumb ass company who invested that much and do a freestyle dissing them on the live on D-live, Twitter, IG &/or Facebook. This guy also abandoned his family member in another state while he was busy being "Too Famous" DISGUSTING!! I am over here working my ass off for the little followers I have:
Which by the way THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR BEING SO, OR BECOMING SO IF YOU ARE A FAN/ Please share my stuff because this artist loves personally GIVING BACK TO HIS FANS!
And this dumb ass, fuck-nugget gets a free pass with a flamethrower to burn it all down?!?! Sober Junkie if you see this please start putting your own money into the music then you'll understand the VALUE behind it. Yes, I've been down in the dumps thinking about all of this but I've also been thinking about what songs I need to remaster, how I can get on stage and what I can do to OUTSHINE these horrible choices.
So sorry I haven't been posting. PSTD, Depression, all that took over for a bit. It has been taking a toll on my music career. A lot! Hopefully, things will turn around soon. Thanks for reading.
Be careful. Psych meds can kill you. Have you tried magnesium? Good luck.
Yes, along with 90 others nutritional supplements a day. I sell them but don't have much of a crowd yet. I'll post about it soon because I'm using proceeds to help vets #veteranshelpingveterans
90 is quite a lot. You don't upvote yourself? I'd upvote your reply but there is a .02 earnings threshold so it wouldn't count.
I use to upvote myself but I found that others upvote you more if you don't. your support rocks tho!
You can at least self upvote your replies to me. If I upvote it solo it is a wasted vote. Upvotes only count if the post is .02 or more in total. Otherwise they all get zeroed out.
I think you should go through and upvote your old comments up to seven days old. You seem like a nice guy and you deserve to get paid.
You are getting practically zero earnings off of your comments right now.

Beep! Beep!Ooh-Rah!
