Moving At Light Speed!!!

Well my peoples..We are almost there. The project is coming along and should be finished up by the end of the month. Its been a lot of hard work trying to get the sounds to match the vibe of the album but its all coming together. With the likes of JD Riggz, InfCasso, Rellah and production by Vansbeats from Germany, the feel of the project is that of Soul searching demons. For example..The project opens up with a track titled "On My Way", where im stating facts that i am determined to be successful in any and all that i do. With lines like "2003 the begining to a new era/my fitted cap didnt fit it had to many errors". Indicated that I had to make a change to become who I am today.Change is part of life if you want to make something of ya life, that is. Once a knuckle headed kid who felt that the streets was a means for fast money ,which it is but its not all that its cracked up to be..U make a dollar double but at the end of the day, unless you making enough to really save something, its not really worth the risk that comes with it. Think about this. Every rap song you hear has something to do with Hustling drugs, or being quote on quote gangsta. im not the type of dude to follow anybody's footprints. That wont get me anywhere. At least not in my eyes. I figured that once i became a father, a childs rolemodel, it was time to change for the better. Show them a different path than whats displayed on television or on the radio. With other lines like, "All the critics said my flow was to basic/and all this real rap shyt is never gonna make it". Well Im authentic, I was never in to fake shyt/And aint changing , i will never get a face lift" begins to draw out the picture that although you may not have it all , you still have dignity. Self pride to not change or follow suite...So the album has a great feel. "That Good dude music". I just released the first video off of this project titled "The Breakthru" directed again by my dude Mike Dispenza. We took it back to the roots, the essense of hiphop. We shot it in Rochester's Underground Subway where its flooded with Graffiti and broken down walls, so we could get that real grimey feel. Also took shots around the westside of the city. So far, the video has recieved a lot of positive feedback. People have said that the words are so positive that they wouldnt ever think this would be heard by the masses, since all that is displayed is negative bullshyt,Money,cars, jewelry and all that nonsense.But the message in the song is exactly what i mentioned previously. "Change"...Here is a link to the video. ... But for now, its back to work. Gotta put the finishing touches on it so that you can get the full cause and affect that reflects change... stay tuned

Where Has It Gone??

I was watching a movie last nite and thought to myself, How come once a couple gets married, all of a sudden the sex is gone? well not gone but it aint what it used to be. In the beginning, it was all exciting, the dates, the surprise visits, spontaneous actions. Its like that saying,"It was all good just a week ago" but in this case , it was all good some years ago. Married couples have a different outlook on whats important in a relationship. When your married its ,Are the bills paid, Are the kids all set for school the next day, Is the house clean, and so on so forth. I've heard some married men state that it comes with the territory. Im used to it.But I dont know if all men can get used to this. Tiger Woods, Did u go thru this too? lol...Now this question is for the woman out there. What happends? What is lost? I know a lot of times, the words "Im not in the mood or Im tired" come to play but what makes you guys more tired than us? It drives me crazy to see senarios play out like that. Like in the movie "I think i love my wife". Here you have a beautiful woman and a man in a nice healthy looking marriage taking care of things, but the man is in need of satisfaction..And she isnt providing that. He gets the cold shoulder, the DENY stamp. And then in walks another woman willing to put that spice back on the food, add a little flavor to the meal, and he has to resist and respect the fact that he is married...Now Chris Rock was a funny character in that sense cause he had no clue what to do...But she forced his hand and look what happend. hahaha. My favorite part was when he was shopping with his wife and she picked up some granny panties and he was trying to offer her some more sexy panties but she DENIED him...then comes the other woman with those same sexy undies in hand..Too funny... But we are forced to deal with it...But anywho, thats all im saying..Where does it all go? What makes us lose that sexual drive that we once had? if anyone can answer that without using the same old lines of being tired or not in the mood, or not feeling sexy right now, i would lend my open ear....Cause I simply dont get it...But WHo AM I?

The Preacher's Interns....

I cant front , i love my new age social networking tools. The Twitters, Facebooks,and even Myspace when it was a player in the game..But what i am starting to see more and more of, is the Interns...They are everywhere. Trying to spread the mans word. Oh yall still lost?? Im talking about all the preachers helpers, the mouths of god if you let them tell it..I mean for serious, who are you to tell me what i should and shouldnt be doing? Whatchu tryin to kick knowledge??? My favorite social network is Facebook, but i like to call it "The Book of Faces'.. But almost 99% of the time i log on and look at the live status updates of everyone, it never fails...Someone is being gods helper...At least 3 of the post will have something to do with the relationship with God..Now people dont get me wrong, there is nothing wrong with being a child of god and having a religion, but some of you mafukas need to pump ya brakes..Stop, wait and think about it..I was on there earlier today and saw that someone changed their setting to 'In a Relationship". So im like ohhh ok, thats whats up...i go and look at the comments that people have left, cause u know i was trying to be nosey, But guess who that person is in a relationship with????? You guessed it..GOD...lawd have mercy, i almost deleted my own damm page after i saw that..I mean come on man..For serious? Cool...But then you have ones that comment on ya status, like "naw, u dont need to do that, whatchu need to do is build ya relationship with the lord"...Ok delete..Dont need you telling me what i been knowing for a lifetime...Stop, wait and think about it. There are way to many "Preachers Interns out there..And whats funny is ,that more than half of them are the devils own themselves..So take heed and listen to ya own message that you trying to preach..Dont blow that hot air this way...Im good,..and God is good, all the time...Imma end it on this note.. Just because you started going back to church for ya new years resolution and it feels good, dont mean you have to down talk all of us on the internet..Listen to the message that you preach onto others..it might benefit YOU...... In jesus name, we all say....AMEN!!!!

Losing My Mind, "The Metamorphisis"

Aight I know its been awhile since I gave everyone an update on whats going on wit me and what the latest issue is that im dealing with and i apologize to the ones who visit here rather frequently..Promise it wont happen again.,lol but i been really busy working on this latest project as well as a mixtape to follow..I know sounds backwards, dont it? Usually most artist will release a mixtape before the project to get they buzz up, but if u know me, then you know i dont move to the same drummer as most...Im a man of a different breed...So with that being said, "Losing My Mind ,The Metamorphisis" is on its way...I been hard at work trying to get the perfect fit of tracks to reflect what this project means to me...Everyone is in need of a change in some shape,form or fashion..And this is no different. On this project I reflect on my past ,present and future with the likes of tracks like "The Break Thru", "Losing My Mind", and "My Life", just to name a few...With production by JD Riggz (HCM) and Vans Beats, there is a wide range of emotions on this joint. I been thru tough times just like everyone else and I cant sit down to create a party track or whateva the people want, just because they want to hear it.. I have emotions that need to be released out of me..Things to get off my chest and writing and creating to a soulful sound to me is theraputic...So far I am 6 tracks into a 10 track project so just a few more steps and im at where im going with it..So please, when its all said and done, lend me a ear and a open mind and vibe with it because i promise you that most will relate to each and every song presented...I would post a track or two on here but i would rather wait until they are all recorded and videos in line..that way , you all can get the full effect of it..So until then, stay tuned in wit me....

Good -vs- Evil and the Forces Between...

"Oooohhh we living like we bullet proof, bang bang bang bang bang bang....Oooohhhh we Load em, cock aim and shoot, ohhhh we load em ,cock, aim and shoot...."(c) Raheem Devaughn...As I sit here and listen to the lyrics in this masterpiece, it got me to thinking about alot of different issues with todays society and our music. Here is a track talking bout issues in this world that WE ALL relate to, Poverty, violence, the economy and all of lives struggles in general..Classik music..then i listen to others and i wonder to myself, "what am i supposed to take from this song"?? Am i supposed to listen to how you have it all and i dont?, Am i supposed to take from it that i can have swag too or as yall say it, i can never have a swag like yours !!! Absolutely right jackazz..I dont wanna be like you. I want to upgrade myself to a higher level and i aint just talking bout the trees im hanging from (no insult intended)..Im talking about self worth, self respect...A lot of the "rappers" that are out now are what i like to call followers. Making music for the consumers and not for themselfs...I heard a song recently from a source i will keep anonmous and i sat back and literally laughed out loud...Everything was a reference to drugs, bitches and money, clothes, cars and all that material shyt...I can do this and I can do that type musik..SO WHAT..for real...Come on..we got bigger fish to fry homeboy..Are you blind to it? or just that dumb?...Dont get me wrong there is a lot of music that is considered classic or makes listening to it worthwhile...But it doesnt get the recognition it deserves..In order to really find it, you have to be searching, searchin, searching....Online, blogs, downloads and nothing on radio, TV, or in stores...So that goes unheard most times. A female friend of mine said that she doesnt even listen to rap musik anymore...Saying that its not like it once was..which is 10000% true..She was asking for the Tribes, De la Souls,Public Enemy, KRS1 to come back...And said besides MosDef, Talib, common and Lupe, she cant stand rap..Her exact words and I quote "does every song have to be either obnoxious bragging or drugs or guns? That got old sooooo fast." It certainly did babygirl... I miss the good music too..But we cant all be satisfied I guess... keep downloading....hahaaha , IM OUT
