UPDATES!!!

I will premiere the new BZE video here in the next couple of days...(A video I directed with Big worm and T-Note behind the camera) I will also reveal who will be doing the artwork for my next project, this guy is amazing..trust me. Also the free mixtape will be available as well as a promo video for it...All in the same Post. Don't miss it.

INSIDE A CHANGE VIDEO

The reason why I am posting this (beside for it being a sick song) is that my dude Usef Dinero laced Skillz with this beat. Usef (not my brother Yusef) but my fam A.K.A Joe Money really did his thing on this one. Skills is nice as usual, and it doesn't hurt having Jazzy Jeff on here as well. I wish Usef Dinero could have had a cameo in the video....But his name is in the credits, and when was the last time you saw a producer get the credit he deserves.

NEW NEW NEW NEW

New record in the works (on wax). should be ready in two months..in conjuction with that there will be a cd/digital download that will contain more material. The wax will probably only have 6 tracks.
The reason why we are going with only 6 joints is so that the audio doesn't suffer. The cd/digital download will contain possibly 10 joints all together as well as video for a few of the joints. Most of the tracks will be instrumentals. This record is going to be phenomina, not just becuase its my project, but becuase I am putting my all into it. The artwork is going to be top notch, and its not just going to be a bunch of random music thrown together. As soon as more of the pieces of the puzzle are available, I will present them on this blog.

New Slum VILLAGE Video directed by dwele

This joint is hot... Baatin R.I.P

Buscrates

My dude (BJ) aka Dj buscrates finally put out his first record. It's a 7"....and it's pretty good. My only issue was the artwork. I told him that though the artwork was fine, it doesn't stand out amongst everyother record in your average record store. I bought one, but I was going to buy one regardless....looking forward to a full length.

Blitz the ambassedor

Pick up this months copy of SMOOTH magazine, they have a piece on Blitz. If you don't know who he is by now, then your late to the party. I produced a track on his last record and I suppose I need to post a link to that soon. Blitz is nice on the mic and quiet as kept a beast on the artwork as well.....






It would be a crime if I didn't mention that the last time I saw Blitz was at a event I had, and which he was the special guest. The event was a release party for the late great J.DILLA (formely of Slum Village).......speaking of slum, tomorrow I am shooting a video for "Smi", and the track for this particular song was produced by Daru (he is back in town for a few)....also Daru plays drums for Slum Village. With Baatin passing yesterday it just is ironic how much of this related.

R.I.P Baatin

Baatin from slum village passed away yesterday, he will be missed. Seems like Detroit hip hop just can't get a break. I didn't get a chance to meet baatin when I filmed Slum Village a year or so ago, becuase he was out the group at that time. He had been back on tour with the group as of late, so it looks like things were going back to the way they used to be. He was an "original" member of slum village as was, the great J.DILLA. (R.I.P)
