GOOD MUSIC : CONSEQUENCE "DISPERSE"

LOCATION: NEW YORK CITY
I think when you got a vision and the right people around everything falls into place and the energy just feeds off
i remember back in the 90s when ATCQ ( A Tribe Called Quest) was making noise and the movement was electric..The Native Tongue was my shit - i mean i appreciated the art that movement brought to Hip Hop..which is sort of how the new movement of MCs is starting to develop into but its those who remain original that will lead the new school of MCs into the Echelon of Hip Hop Greats -
so as im a young dude back in mid to late 90s im into a vast array of Hip Hop..thats all i listened to all day and all night was Hip Hop - from seeing HOT 97 evolve into the station where Hip Hop Lives, from hearing Biggie 1st record on 89.9 stretch and bobbito to hearing Wu Tang Clan very 1st joint on 89.1
Hip Hop has grown ever since and has become the heart beat of music all over -
now with that said brings me to my boy Consequence - who came on the scene during the prime of Tribe Called Quest and dropped a memorable verse on "Stressed Out" - after the disbandment of ATCQ dude remained active..behind the scenes and in the right circle ..i give him much respect for staying at it and seeing his craft through ..so through the circles i've been linking with trying to link all the circles together and create a strong chain of success i was put on bout Cons through my boy Poly King who was peoples with dude and also my home girl ODESSA who is a actually making a lil noise herself..i'll get back to her in coming days
so she comes to NY and was like she was chosen to be in a video for Consequence called Breakfast of Champions which was real cutting edge vid when it comes to camera work and content
and i was like thats dope..and then after linking with Strings in the studio and also being under the same umbrella with GLC over at REVO MEDIA ..i take a call from Odessa that she doing a new Consequence vid and i should come check it out.so i come through and connect again with Strings also My boy Caleesh aka Poly King and GLC and Cons..who also directs his own vids and co-directed this one with RIk Cordero- the energy was dope and this was the outcome

shouts to Caleesh,Strings,GLC,Odessa,Ashaki,Cons and Sub Con with those Tees

SAVE THE EARTH : LUDACRIS VS. TOMMY LEE

Being Part of The RELEASE THERAPY Album was a great achievement - as well as being affiliated with the SSP fam who from day one showed support and that support was returned, not knowing the family ties with Luda..but still kept it a hunnit.
As we connect and venture to do business on all scales the plan is starting to take shape to become Major Players in the Music Industry as well as Entrepreneurs and Humanitarians..you have to start from the ground up
even if it's literally the Ground, which brings me to BATTLEGROUND EARTH: LUDACRIS VS. TOMMY LEE
in a reality Television Series dedicated to Saving Planet Earth, a Battle between 2 teams Ludacris who brought on my boys 4-IZE and Willie Box to join in the Mission and Tommy Lee and his Crew.
Music for a Purpose is always a good look in my books - so Tune in AUG 3RD on PLANET GREEN 10pm EST on TLC

shouts to Ludacris,4-IZE,Willie and Big Al

ART OF STORYTELLING : THE ALCHEMIST


Everyone who has a personal journey in life know that there are reasons that come with the learning of certain skills, the meeting of certain people at the right time and the desire for fulfillment , clues surround us everyday as we wonder which roads to choose to take us to that next level -i believe we all have a purpose and mission to fulfill - so with that being said there's a book i read on the way to Toronto last year after i moved on from working with the previous partners- i dont wanna sound all mystical but the book found me -
when i was at my old spot a shawty i knew said check it out and wrote it on a paper - as i moved mysteriously i found that paper and was like wow i gotta get this book
so i copped it and after reading it i knew why the author Paulo Coelho has to be one of the Greatest StoryTellers of our time - and i had to pass it on which i did to alot of people i rock wit
now imma pass it on again..but this time u don't even have to go to Barnes and Noble
if you go to Itunes you can get the audiobook and listen for FREE until July 14th -

THE DARK KNIGHT






LOCATION : GOTHAM CITY

As a die-hard Comic Book Fan , through my collections of various comics
there was one that broke the mold, not because of the sheer violence and dark world it took the readers into - but because of the Reality of the story- not all Super Heroes get zapped with power of some sort , some can be made and created by just being fed up with the Evil Forces that run recklessly through this earth .. Through Tragedy, Through Fear can give birth to a Hero - and thats why i fucks with Batman
After years of many Batman films and cartoons .. this Franchise decided to actually give Batman The Approach it deserved and Director Christopher Nolan (Memento,The Prestige) ran wit it and never looked back 1st "Batman Begins" which took us into the creation of Batman and his days as a Ninja and heir to a very wealthy empire and made alot of Logic into what this Series will be - 
by July 18th 2008 the 2nd installment will be unveiled the highly anticipated "The Dark Knight" - which unfortunately will be one of the last appearances of Actor Heath Ledger (R.i.P)
who passed away early 2008 -
I'm not one to predict a great film and the outcome but i believe this will be be one of those cinematic masterpieces that will be remembered for years to come - not to say Tim Burtons Version wasn't dope cause it was.. but i know this will be much iller
and in Honor to The Dark Knight i threw one of my instrumentals on the Trailer .

 




OVERDOSE ON LIFE THE RECORD

LOCATION : NEW YORK CITY
This is the Final Product of getting together Artist and musicians who believed and followed the Vision
Enjoy -




Overdose On Life - Omen Ft. Drake, Travis McCoy , Mickey Factz
produced by Omen
additional production - Noah "40" Shebib
additional Keys - Erik Torrente
Harps - Brandee younger
- OFF OF ALBUM BE THE JUDGE COMING SOON
VIDEO ON THE WAY

OVERDOSE ON LIFE # 3

LOCATION: HARLEM,NEW YORK CITY
After getting 2 dope Verses, which were Extra OD in Bar Length - but also stuck to the Concept of Overdosing on that track - i reached back out to my boy Mickey Factz who i worked with for mad years and sent him the version of Drake on the 1st Verse and he came into studio and spit some Heroin which was very innovative and this is how it went down ....

OVERDOSE ON LIFE # 2

LOCATION: MANHATTAN, NEW YORK CITY
In the Creation of the BE THE JUDGE album i was in search for some Major Features - and made a long wish-list which included names that was by Far Super Unattainable but there were a few names that i had to have on this Album - after Drake OD'D on the "Overdose on life" record i felt it need another angle and a different sound - i hit up my peoples Mickey and ask if he had links to Travis from Gym Class Heroes - so he put me in touch with dude and the rest is ......

OVERDOSE ON LIFE

LOCATION: TORONTO,CANADA
When i 1st decided to create an album it was all new to me , i mean i been a part of Major Albums in the Past but now it's time to build a legacy and Market my Value and Meaning to Hip Hop and Music ... so the title " BE THE JUDGE" came to mind - not sure how it came but i seen the vision and followed it through..basically the Album Meaning is at the end of the day No One can Judge you but You before God Judges you - so Be The Judge  Is saying Be Yourself - in  a world filled with so much Fabrication and Phoniness and music having artist sell their souls to become a household name for the price of Fame - sometimes you just wanna be yourself and not commit to changing for Label Puppet Masters - so that said " Be You"
- so when i started this Album i went through a Transition period that tried to put a damper on the creation of this record - when things turn against you when you're a positive person it's usually the opposite "Negative".
- i seen myself not letting that Energy lose my focus and i began my Journey by Traveling To Toronto and working on a few records out there and actually coming across a dope talent by the name of Drake - who respected my grind and took the vision i had for a record and wrote a chapter in pages of History that will follow his Dream for so much has came in his path since penning that Verse - The Title i gave him for the record was "Overdose On Life" 
and this is The Making
