And Then There Was Three

I'm in a bit of a dilemma.
Three choices. Technically two if look at this logically. And most likely one if I want something solid.

1) Concentrate on my new lil wifey apprentice. Which makes no sense for she is just going to move farther away from me. I don't even know how often we will ever see each other. For right now, she is in Texas and I am in Alabama. During the course of the year, I will either be here or in Illinois and she will be either in Texas, New Jersey, or Delaware. There isn't much of a common ground in that one and I'm not believing that a long distance relationship is really going to work and/or go down.

2) Move to Illinois over the summer, start a new group, push out an album and go to work.
This is the second most likely option being that well, I have no doubt that they have the charisma as long as myself to make something pop. I have no doubt at the talent level lyrically. At all.
But the problem is that I don't think that they are as free and open with there style as I and with me being in the group I would have to basically fall back on going in and doing what I would like to do just for the betterment of the group. Which would be mad ironic seeing that I'm the oldest but being the wiseman that I am, I just tend to know my role rather than just make it.

3) Work with someone who I know could possibly make this work. Luke.
To be honest, he could have blown up long ago. The problem is the people he worked with.
With the knowledge and understanding of the game, his musical talents, and his down-to-earth demeanor, it reminds me of the actual Big Boi to my Andre 3000. It's a superbly perfect fit.
The only problem is the base in which we would have to work.
NO ONE from the city of Birmingham has EVER went mainstream.
If I were to do so, it would be the biggest precedent that has ever been set in the history of precedents.

3) Is the most logically being that this is my home and I'll have a bit to fall back on, but is also the most illogical when it comes to exposure but if worked right could be logical in terms of ... you guessed it. Money.

Makes me think.

I have a big decision to make it seems and I have to do it soon.
