You’ve heard me and Loco on tracks together since the beginning, and his latest project is no exception. This new CD he dropped is seriously neck snapping nasty. Check out some cuts:

So I’ve slacked on my blogging, blah blah … more on that later. In the meantime – I try and type in my website address to do a quick update and it tells me that Google is blocking it since it’s actually an “attack site“. WTF? I mean, Google … I’m honored with how far you are taking my aggressive music thing and all but seriously, come on now!

In other news I’m back on stage this coming Saturday for the annual DEADITES Halloween bash. After this many years you know it’s beyond ridiculous how wild this night gets.

By the way, if you are planning on coming through (and who doesn’t!?) don’t embarrass yourself. Click the link in the upper right hand corner and download / re-listen to my stuff so you know the songs. Nuz has threatened to smack the shit out of anyone acting too cool to follow along. That’s why even people who don’t feel hip-hop snap necks to my music… his pimp hand is strong.

Music for the new project has really been coming together lately. I think I may debut a rough of one song at the show Saturday night. Dope stuff, some inspiration coming from this:

Watch out now!

I’ve been dormant for too long; finally ready to emerge again. Life had me on the ropes but the details are better left for another day or I’ll never actually finish a post …

In the interim know this …

1. show coming up on April 23rd @ the Lucky Dog
2. new music is in the works
3. EP by the end of the year

Stay classy San Diego!

“Up” …   that’s how you order them if you know what you are doing at Coney Island.  I can’t front though, I went to South and Hot Dog Annies is my preference. Anyway, check out this new local release from the dudes over at HHTT

It’s an ode to mid 90′s street rap that Brother Menelik eloquently talks about in his blog here. I’m a sucker for vocoders and posse cuts of diverse styles, and this compilation has a bunch of the latter.

Yup …  leave it to me to talk about a remix used in a revolution but not serve it up so you can actually LISTEN to it. Here’s some official linkage of the “War Cries”  remix done by my boy NFX that I talk about in my last post; along with a couple of extras since I kept you waiting. I think it’s dope how his mix changed the vibe of the song and smoothed it out verses the malice and despair of the original.

a few years ago a remix of “War Cries” was used by a revolutionary anti government  leaning music movement (www.indiegente.org) using hip-hop to motivate social change against oppressive regimes in South America and Africa…. being sold in Africa, Mexico, Brazil, Italy, LA, Brooklyn etc. for pennies to people looking to change the world and be inspired. That has to be one of the illest things I can say about my music ever.

So, now and then I get people asking me for some of my old material that you can’t find anymore…

and being the miserable bastard I normally am, I refuse and keep that old stuff stashed since it makes me cringe and I hate it.  I had 3 such requests within the past week, and was contemplating but reluctant to actually post em up.  But in honor of this ridiculously hot 102 degree day here in Wor, I’ve decided to dig up the appropriately titled “Scorchin”.  Here are a few old school circa 2000-2001 joints while I’m feeling froggy…

I remember when I finished “whiplash” and was all hyped up…  ran it down to Lietrims that night and asked the DJ (yes they had a live DJ there back then) to play it for me.  All of a sudden I heard a garbled muddled pile of shit through the speakers and learned about “mixing” the hard way. *smh*

Word, so I been here fam – just operating in stealth mode for a bit.

yes – I’m still alive

yes – I’m working on new music

yes – I will be putting a new project in your hands soon

In the meantime I’ll serve up some unreleased tracks that got left off the last CD to hold you over. Stay tuned!

Had to do some archiving and back up my music files off an ancient PC the other day and came across a bunch of old tracks. I’m still sorting through it all, but in the meantime I thought you guys would appreciate this. Full Digi download of the 2002 Wortown Hip-Hop compilation “The Revolution Begins Now … Volume One: The 7 Hill Xperience”

DOWNLOAD the full compilation and all artwork

If you’re not up on what 7HillX was or what it did for the city, here’s an old T&G article that touches on it.

The all-star squad over at Hulk Hate Time Travel just posted up a write-up and a bunch of videos from the “Insomniaddict” release party.

… For those of you that don’t know Nytmare is a staple in the Worcester hip hop scene and has been performing since the late nineties. He has shared the stage with homegrown favorites that have since faded away, I mention that only to let you know that Nytmare has been in the scene and putting in work for Worcity hip hop for a minute. I remember the first time hearing Ashes to Ashes over at Brother Menelik’s house circa 1999 and thinking to myself (respectively) “Who the fuck is this nigga ???“ It would be a few months before I met him in person. He had a dark sounding voice on the edge of being gritty with a rapid spitting yet clear delivery, the style Nytmare has is like no other in the City and his work ethic along with perfectionist approach to not only his music but his performance and stage presence is unmatched…

Video evidence from that night is scarce, but the HHTT team managed to capture my first three songs:

Many thanks to T and the whole HHTT team for all they are doing right now for the city and culture in general. If you don’t read them regularly I suggest you get familiar.
