No Direction...One Way Street

The scene is set. The bar is closing in 20 minutes. The DJ yells over the mic from the DJ booth, "Last call, last call for alcohol". The bar stools are filled as everybody is getting that last lil taste of they drink of choice. Me, im at the bar throwing back shots of Henny and chasing it down with red stripe beer. Feeling nice, i see this fine ass chick from across the bar lookin at me. Me? thinkin to self..you looking at me love?. Feeling froggy, i leaped off my bar stool to test the water..See how deep it is you know, is it cold, warm,open to swim ect. Excuse me miss,um my name is ASAP, and yours? In the sweetest voice i ever heard, her lips spoke for her. My name is HipHop!!! wow..what a name, um u come here alot? One of the worst lines ever to spark a convo I immediately changed that up...correction..U seeing anyone that would stop you from exploring new land?..She says yes, yes matter of fact i am..Im a nympho. My eyes wideopen like Craig and Smokey in Friday "When u gon let me fuk Ms.Parker". She follows up with, "im good" and u can call me anytime you want". Cool...so i go hard at trying to please her, trying to impress her friends. Im singing and dancing ,blind to the fact that HipHop has always been there...Before i even met her, she was right there. Everywhere i went. Here I am feeling like i have done something truly special. Getting invited to her home,met the kids even. But that didnt fulfill my need for her. She gave everybody the same love. So after weeks, months, years even, i still havent fuked...A OG once told me that persistence and dedication alone can get me anywhere. But in the meantime, thats alot of time and money being poured into this being. They smile ,i smile, they dance, i dance, they shine and i fade into the background. I hear the DJ again, "Last Call" and be sure to tip ya bartenders. i paid for my drinks and bounced. ~lightbulb~.......One Way Street, no where to go but straight. You ever witness a drug dealer, turned church on ya?..Thats where i am..not in that same sense, but im thinkin its time to call it a wrap and move on to do the things that i been wanting to focus all my attention on, THE YOUTH... So here i am, leaving that bar where i met hiphop in the flesh and looking for someone more for ME. Hiphop,I love you and always will but i need to explore new land... One final project though before its all said and done. "LAST CALL" The Bars closed....

Asap - "The Break Thru"

Whats In Store For ya.....Stay Tuned!!!

Aight..Imma take a deep breath real quick...(on my Martin Lawrence shyt)...aight...Project is pretty much completed..Its in the final mixdown stages and i am also blueprinting a helleva marketing campaign.. Promo videos, T-Shirts that read "Get At Me Asap",Promo singles with a visual..Its all coming together..I cant even begin to tell you how frustrating this process is ,specially making it all happen by yaself..But in the end, its all worth it. The responses from the people and the acual success of it all is priceless. There are times when i ask myself, why the hell am i doing this? I aint making a cent from it!!!...But all in all tho, on the real, i do it for the love of muzik..and its not always appreciated by the "outsiders" but from the responses i am already getting from peers and peers alike, its gonna be a success.. If you havent already, go check out the video for one of the singles, The Breakthru on youtube and while your at it, leave a comment.Let me know about it. Dont just watch it and move on.Refer it out to others so they can experience the same visuals. I was going to add a couple bonus tracks on it but i decided against that and just keep it moving on to the mixtape, "Escape From Nowhere" where i display different lyrical content over beats from classik Outkast tracks. I may release a couple tracks off that in upcoming weeks but until then, continue to be sukafree and stay tuned.... 'The Metamorphosis' is on its way

What Was, Still Is...

I was sittin up the other nite, i wanna say it was like 3 in the morning and i was thinkin to myself, "I need to find a hustle to support my other hustles". Meaning, i am spending a lot of time and money on things thats really not coming back in my pocket in the long run. Although it is a good thing to invest in self, its NOT a good thing to go broke doing so...Look i got 3 kids, well 2 and 1 on the way, a house, bills and luxury bills to take care of and im spending G after G on my love for making my own muzik. Its crazy cause i mean i do get a lot of love when i FIRST put something out but after that, the acknowledgement just simply disappears. I was telling my man that we should really take this muzik on the road and get some real authentic love. But, then i said, dammm thats more money going out the door. But its an investment, right?..yeah thats what i said...sounds like im wasting money on something that isnt getting the right push to begin with. Everything cost, so its just something i have to live with and deal with on the daily. On the flip side, the positive flip side, people dig it and i know this but the liking of my projects isnt cutting it in my mind...People say they gonna come out to support the show and never show, they say they like my videos and so on so forth, but to date, i have only 1 comment on youtube...1... Who in the hell is going to consider me and my muzik with no following? Im just saying.. Its not that i am complaining or bitching at the fact that no one else is pushing me, its just the mere pointless direction im headin in. No money in, but i keep putting money out..So there has to be something more that can be done on my end to make things pop. Working all day, home to take care of the home front, then muzik time. But it is what it is. Imma keep pluggin away but like i told a friend of mine, "im gettin to old for the bullshyt"..ya know? I know, keep going, keep doing ya thang, dont stop now....But when is this gonna show its benefits, huh????

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
