Hibernating in my own world of creativity where my heart beats through synthesizers and my soul thrives through digital imagery I find it hard to leave and come up for air let alone write a blog post.

Till The Casket Drops

First of all, Happy New Year Everyone! I Can't believe I haven't said that sooner, but better late than never ay?

Whilst like most of you (or the festive half), my stomach, liver and wallet are still recovering from the festive season, so more recently I've been indoors listening to good music, making even better music, and taking off a couple head tops on Call of Duty:MW2. But enough about me, more about the topic at hand: The new Clipse album - Till The Casket Drops.

The Best Duo Ever?

No it hasn't just been released, it's been out for more than month now, but why would I post about it when I haven't had the chance to listen to it properly? So for the past month it's been played whilst whipping the whip, tube journeys, bench pressing, chillin' with the homies....and all that.

It's quite raw,
but at the same time very fresh

which is a combination I'm sure a lot of artists would struggle to pull off. Some of the tracks come very hard, and some them is just that real feel good music. If you've kept/been keeping up with my blog than you would know I was muchos excited about this album...and I still am! Too many bangers! Lol. Plus I am completely loving the Neptunes produced tracks on there....nice to see the formula is still working! If you haven't yet copped than there is no better time than the present!

Tracks to look out for:
Champion
Footsteps
Kinda Like a Big Deal (feat. Kanye West) [Which you should have already heard!]

Currently listening - Rick Ross feat. Pusha T, T-Pain - Maybach Music 2.5

Currently listening to - The voices in my head

Swiss (SOS) Goes In on 'em!

Now if you were a So Solid fan back in the day, you would know that Swiss came hard. Real real hard. You would also know that his flow kept up with the times...so it's nice to see him on WestwoodTV spitting that truth, and showing us how it's done. I'm a big fan of the Grammy Family instrumental, probably one my favourites of all time...(makes me think I might have to publish the freestyle I done over that still!)

This was posted a few months ago, but some how escaped me. Lol @ a lot of comments on the youtube page. I say no more. Anyway, this guy needs no introduction...I just gotta give a big shout to Rev-O DK for putting me on this. Peep Swiss (with Sef and Shabz) in the studio with Westwood. Looool @ Shabz face at about 5:08, that was my expression for the whole video!

"I fell back...... got my mind right/
but my name rang like I was still in the limelight/
You spitters are fine...night/
I scribble my lines..I'm/
One in a million I sit in the riddim my rhymes tight."

Jeez!

"Until We Bleed" Featuring Issue One

Ok so get this, last post I was listening to Kleerup feat. Lykke Li - Until We Bleed. And NOWWWW, I've jumped on top of those amazing strings and spat spitted those bars. I'm Nice!!

My people, feast your ears on this.

Kleerup and Lykke Li, Holla at me!


P.s. I felt kind of nice, so you can download it here . I might choose to take it down at a later date though. lol.

Currently listening - Kleerup feat. Lykke Li & Issue One - "Until We Bleed (Remix)"

"That's Seeerious!" Vol. 4 - The Misfits

The UK winter has brought a lot of unwell days to me of recent, so a lot of shows, old and new have been getting airtime (not airrrrrrrtime, just regular airtime) from me. Now I didn't watch The Misfits as it was aired per week, but decided to catch up using 40D.

Ha, what can I say! If you don't watch this already...I don't want to give too much away, and if you DO watch it already then I'm with you on this one. I wasn't completely sold on the first episode, but 3 episodes deep and they have me! Can't wait for the next one!!

It's about a group of young offenders doing their community service..when a lot of strange happenings occur. Haven't told you enough? Go and watch it! lol. Real talk though, it's not too late!

The thing I love about these E4 shows (i.e. Skins) is their choice of music. Ok, some of it is commercial crap, but a lot of the times you find songs that you probably would have either:
A) never found, or B) would have found in a million years which by then you'd be so old you probably couldn't even hear it properly! Tune in...it's seeerious!!

Currently listening - Kleerup ft. Lykke Li - Until We Bleed

Work Hard x Play Hard

Never before have I felt so inspired to create; design and make music. I have so many ideas and plans practically leaking out of my ears that I feel need to be carried out...and that is what I have been out doing. Inspired by and aspire to those who create not just to pay the bills but for the <3 of it.

You might think I have taken a quote out of some sort of design bible but I haven't, it's just exactly how I am feeling. I am currently partaking in the creation of certain projects; The All in One EP project has been put on hold/transformed into some sort of electronic demo project, and pushing my design skills in the production of the HiDefShow.Com website. (More about this at a later date)

I've been pushing and pushing to create amazing work, so that other can too be inspired...A big thanks is due to the small circle of creatives that are kept close by......you truly inspire me!
