Breakfast of CHAMPS!


My mans Shawn showed up randomly at my house around 2/ 2:30


I was still in my damn robe. After a shower and getting dressed, I introduced him to the lab.


Made some magic out of a Charlie Brown Christmas Vinyl Taylor left at my house. CHAMPION.


Went to the Record Store to pick up more Vinyl. 


Jackson 5 and Isley Brothers. Nice.


Check out this Lovely track. By Talib Royce and Statik.

C.O.L.D. Day

Afternoon,


If you've never seen the Heidelberg Street in Downtown Detroit, wait for a warmer day.


I loved the scenery down there and met two of the artists responsible for the work. I loved it, it was nice. But like I said, pick a warmer day.

Belle Isle is nice too. Cold too.



After, the group went to the Majestic Cafe/Garden Bowl/Sargent Pepperoni/Magic Stick.  A dope artist by the name of Mayer Hawthorne walked passed me and I recognized him; barely. The photographer confirmed and we kept stepping. 


Shit, caught me by surprise no doubt.


If you like R&B, check this shit out.

New Mos Def X Jay Elec?!?!!?



C.O.L.D. 


Da da da da daaaa HOOLLLIIDAAY!

Merry Christmas (Eve) to all !!!.......

..............and to all a good night?


So here's an update on everything right now.


I'm honestly feeling kinda stressed right now. I feel like all hell is breaking loose and it's a shitty feeling. Between my mom making me help her wrap every single gift she bought (besides mine) and not having time to make a beat or work on college essays or keep up with friends and my g/f. Hot Damn. Things seemed quieter while school was in session. Now I'm running around pissing my pants. FML.


Moving On.


Enjoy this update from Mr. Milk himself.











P.S. These Jalapeno Poppers are making me feel shitty.

Watch it Black Milk!

Damn,

Apollo Brown the other night and I gave him Dap for the work he did on Contra, which was featured on "The Leftovers" Mixtape Elzhi released just recently.

Supposidly when I was outside with Taylor and such, Apollo put some of his new joints on. I cannot believe I missed them. Hot damn.

So on youtube, I looked him up

it reminded me of the first time I heard Exhibit C when I saw this video.



Mark Byrd killed it too, hells yes.

C.O.L.D. 

Sweetest Promo? (Flying Lotus- Los Angeles)

In my opinion, this is one of the better promos I've seen.


It's only a minute and 3 long, so I'm sure you can hold your piss.



C.O.L.D.

andbytheway- It's a superb album, check it out.

Dopeerrr. (Burn Rubber X Acalpoco Gold)

Found this on Cliff's Blog

Just, Lovely......

Missed Oppertunities....

The other night,


I was with my friends (Taylor, Gene, Andy and Keith). They decided to go to a beat contest at BCK(Bobs Classic Kicks) down Woodward a ways. Previous to this, you know, Taylor was begging me to enter the contest and such in order to show off my beats to the world, and potentially win 300 bucks.


Requirements: 15 beats and 25 bucks to enter.


Hot Damn, I CANNOT believe I passed up on that opportunity.


It's not until you hear 6 consistently mediocre producers, do you realize what kind of potential you have.


Apollo Brown was there though and I gave him a word of appreciation with some dap attached to it for his work on Contra. Good shit.


Moral is, when someone tells you to bring your beats and 25 bucks, do it. Don't miss out on opportunities.


Still, overall


C.O.L.D.and Not C.O.L.D. all in the same night.

Top Albums of the Decade according to Ghostly


 

Ok ok ok ok.

So I guess most people would put up, you know, their personal faves as far as albums.


Blah Jay Blah,


Listen, I'm only 17 and being a Music Connoisseur is a full time Job. Being a student, however, allows a lot of gems in the music world to slip under the nose. That's just it.

But check out this list, he pretty much did the work for me.

My personal Faves on this list.

  • Bon Iver- For Emma, Forever Ago
  • Of course Donuts, Lets be real
  • The Knife, this album was a sleeper hit.
  • Burial- A Very Somber take on Dubstep. I like to call it "Noise Art" It so interesting, because in most of his songs, he samples other songs, manipulates a voice into a different tone, and gives it a new meaning, very deep.
  • Ghostface Killa- Supreme Clientele
Many many more more more.

Check out the whole list here

P.S. Shout out to Taylor Cunning-man for the link

WALE!??!

You either build, or destroy....where you come from! (Columbia Acceptance)



First order of business,

This morning a box was thrown on my bed while I was asleep. Naturally I was pissed off at my Dad for waking me up, but it's OK. I shouldn't have been mad. The box was from Columbia College in Chicago, a school I applied to not too long ago. It was a fairly big box for anything sent from a college. I opened it and the first thing I see on a silver sheet of paper (stacked on many others) is

                               "You're In"


In the words of E-40, "Ta-DOW!"


2nd Order of Business; My 6 month with Alissa is today. Blessing.

3rd. Recording this beat I made for my mans J-Perry

4th....Beat Contest? Hmm....?

I'm just going to quote 2dopeboys on this one.

Before youse jump and swack this shit thinking it’s more Jay, just know that a: it’s not and b: “G, F & P” stands for something fucking hilarious. And if you can’t figure that out, hit the cut for the answer. Thank God[dess] for slow Fridays.
Hint: Keep in mind that Just Blaze is from Jersey

I can't be everything to everyone at the same time......

I don't get why I can't keep up with the demands of people. But lately I've been realizing that I really don't need to. Anywho, I got a paper to do.
