Metromix Indy Scary Gigs Article (Dawhud)

More funny than scary. HAHAHA

Peep

This was when I was back in Seattle and I was in the Big Tunes beat battle. HAHAHA The Big Tune battle at that point didn't have the Red Bull sponsor and it was a monthly battle going down at the War Room in Capitol Hill. My man Corey, "Just Be" was there to witness it. Man... I wonder if there's a youtube of this somewhere. (just looked... didn't see it) Well, I think on my profile there's still the pic of me from the battle. HA

Read and enjoy

MetroMix Indy, Basement Sessions sale & other news

Official!!!
Celebrated my 30th B-day with the dopeness!!! Had my parents come out to visit, which was real dope because I hadn't seen them in a year. My wife kept the whole thing on the DL the whole time. Honestly the best thing I could have asked for. I wasn't really planing on a lot for my 30th... mostly just kick it. (Have a beer or two, work on some music and chill.)

A couple days prior I was contacted by MetroMix and they were doing a piece on hip hop artists in Indy. Sounded cool in my book, but more than anything I was shocked that 1) they knew who I was 2) wanted to have me in their publication and 3) wanted to do a photo shoot with me. Dope! So, the day after my B-day they had one of their photographers come over to my house during lunch break and take my pic.

I honestly had no idea when the article was gong to run and happily stumbled across it online today. Then after work I mashed out to a local spot a grabbed a few copies. HAHA Turns out it's the center page. I jokingly said to my wife, "never thought you'd be with a centerfold, eh?" (you can almost hear her eyes roll) HAHA

In other news...

You can now get Basement Sessions through here for $5 + shipping!!! And with purchase you will get a free DL of the album. (good look) Just click on the pic of the album cover. Dope ish!!!


Dub Styles is moving along. I've let a VERY select few close cats peep out some ruff versions of the project. I'm hoping to finish up principal recording on this project shortly. (then it'll be the UBER tweaking of post production) HAHA

Stay tuned

Instore @ Indy Vinyl & CD (& other news)

Yep, yep. Cool points have been achieved. HAHA Saturday August 29th in celebration to help promote the Mudkids latest EP, "MKEP" they had me open for them at the instore. As you can see, that's Rusty from the Mudkids in the background. HAHA Thanks to Indy Vinyl & CD for having me perform there, it was a blast.

Had a great time hanging out, hearing the Mudkids do what they do best and hip some cats to my ish. Only thing that sucks is my Numark CDX that I've had for a minute and have NEVER had problems with now seems to be broken after the show. This morning I plugged the thing in and tried powering it up and the blasted thing doesn't seem to do a bloomin' thing. (shaking fist) Either I'm going to have to have Numark tech support try and help me or I'm going to have to finally break down and go the Serato route.

Despite that it was dope!!! And for those of you how don't know... PEEP the MKEP out now. (iTunes etc. etc.) If you're in Indy, you can pick it up at the local spots and at Indy Vinyl & CD you can cop a T-shirt with it for FREE!!! (can't hate on that) Mudkids ish!!!

In other news: A bulk of "Dub Styles: Walkman Redemption" was recorded last week. The project is far from over, but it is on it's way. I'm hoping to have some more music up on the myspace page.

Finally... the www.basementaddicts.com domain has been forwarded to the Basement Addicts myspace page. It only took like 2 years for me to get that going. I may have the domain pointed here in the near future because this spot seems to be more of the main spot instead of the myspace page. The site is still in the works along with all the other projects, but wearing many hats along with balancing the day job it isn't easy.

Stay tuned peeps!!!

Who's Next?! in full slide show GLORY!!!!

This is a slide show from the release party for "Basement Sessions" from last summer. That night was a blast. More than anything it was a nice night to hang out with my 206 fam.

Cleveland

4th of July I went with my wife and her parent's to visit some fam out in the burbs of Cleveland. When I jokingly told my friend's that I was heading to Cleveland and going to say what's up to "Bone Thugz" I got a txt back from my friend wondering if it was anything like the episode on "40 Rock." Although I didn't get to peep downtown Cleveland, these two videos pretty much sum it up.

The Physics (on the DL tip)

The Physics

I was introduced to the Physics through my man Just Be when I was trying to book a show. I hit them up and Thig hit me saying that they were working on their LP, but not ready to perform. Jump about 9 months into the future they drop their LP "Future Talk" and dug out a nice fan base in the 206. I've hit Thig every now and then to just chop it up and randomly I was like, "Yo, when you going to drop some new ish?" HAHA He emailed me back saying, "Next week." HAHAHAHA

So here we are, The Physics drop another gem and this EP is for DL on their site.

If you did check out their debut LP you'll know what feel good hip hop you're getting yourself into. The "High Society" EP is along the same lines, but I would say that their sound has progressed/matured. If this is a sample of what their new LP is going to sound like... sign me up.

Do yourself a favor and cop this joint.
