Stuck at the Airport

So....I stayed up all night with my brother, my mother got off work around 1am, we proceeded to drive to the airport in Dallas, TX to catch up to my 6am flight to JFK. I had a short layover in Memphis...well...it was supposed to be short until my flight was delayed 6 HOURS!!!!!!!!....can't emphasize that enough. So as I am sitting here listening to Wiz Khalifa on the mac, applying to jobs, and contemplating life, I AM struck with an idea. Backtrack-last night I was bored and recorded a lil 32 bar spit session to this wayne beat-so I figure I might as well post it on my blog in an effort to make it a bit more active. I am especially motivated by this weak ass Currency verse I'm currently listening to. He used to be one of my favs...moment of silence.

I named it "freestyle ish" for a couple reasons, one ist of course not a pure freestyle, meaning it was not totally improv. However, it IS a freestyle because it is not really about anything..ya know?...sorta like most music today (even though I pride myself on actually creating SONGS). Last but not least, combining the prior 2 definitions, it is "freestyle-ish", similar to something that is kind of green, you'd call it green-ish. Enough type, enjoy.

When I'm Lost

I've been real busy as of late with school work and such....but nonetheless I'm feeling real free right now. This one is real introspective.

CU on the Quad

For those that attended, you may've noticed quite a bit of swag™ radiated from the stage. Assisted by my frat Nick, my homie Abdul, and my patna Alex, we ruled a stage for about 20 minutes. Afterwhich we were joined by Chance Fisher himself to perform Naughty. None of it would've been possible had Artistx not held it down on the 1's and 2's. Take a view and let me know your thoughts. Special thanks to Imani for capturing the video. Thanks for all those who came out...and didn't but wanted to.

Just passing the time....

This Summer I have been in touch with a good amount of producers and "beat makers". Gratefully, I have been given a good amount of instrumentals to play around with. Kenan Goggins from True2Life music (http://www.true2lifemusic.net/) blessed me with a few of his exclusives and I have had the pleasure of doing what I does when I do what I do....

Daft Punk

I listen to a lot of music besides hip hop. I'm into a few bands spanning different genres such as Coldplay, Daft Punk, and Pink Floyd (just to name a few). A few weeks ago I was introduced to this daft punk song by my good friend Brian, entitled 'something about us'. The stream is below, featuring me of course.

1 man show

This is footage from a small talent show in Long Island. I have been itching to hop on some type of a stage all Summer and finally got the chance. Shoutz to Starcoma and John Fitch for the 2 masterpieces I rapped to. The sound system wasn't allllllat but the mics were great....almost considered taking one. Anyway the (video) sounds pretty good so take a look/listen and enjoy me enjoying myself.
