A New Day Begins...

How's everyone doing?

Man, I have finally been able to relax in the last few days now that promo has gotten started and no longer needs my constant attention. Last night I put a chair in a plastic pool, lit a cigar (Excalibur for those that know cigars), turned on some Pink Floyd and just chilled for the first time in maybe a month and a half. I did it again today (Romeo y Julieta cigar for those that care) although I don't want to over do it for myself. Now I'm just sitting watching 'Batman Begins' excited as hell about the new one coming out in less than a month. I hope yall are as ready to see it as I am.

Alright, just to update yall on some new and some continuing work of mine...

I have already started to work on my next CD, this one with my old friend Keynon Moore (you might remember him from my first CD 'One'). I heard the first beat today and the project is going in a new direction for me that I'm thrilled with. I've been writing for a few months and it already feels like this project is going to be a very interesting one. Kevin Danneman, our in-studio guitarist of sorts, has already put together a great range of stuff for us to work with and more is on the way.

And now to 'Unorthodox' news...

I got a promo/commercial video coming in next Friday from Cameron Cox, leader of the second Houston street team. His and the other street teams have been very busy putting up stickers all over the US. Thanks to all of them.

The music video for "Let's Go" is in the storyboarding phase right now as well as a music video for "The City" that is just getting in the works. I'm really excited to get both of these projects underway.

All the other updates I gave you last post are still in the works. Watch for um!

I also wanted to take the time to thank my webmaster Matt Feury for working tirelessly on my website's development and upkeep. If you want a site made for your own purposes, feel free to contact him, his email is at the bottom of my main page.

Alright, well I'm out, hope yall are doing good and feel free to contact me.

Be good.

Summer Time and the Livings Easy

Well because my music laptop's screen is broken I'm not recording anything right now, I'm just writing which is really my favorite part of the whole process. I still got two collabs that I need to finish for my dudes Street and Envy (and I promise I'm trying to get a monitor so I can get it all done) but everything right now is going slow. It's the summer and I'm enjoying it...

That means cigars, many lovely assorted and wonderfully flavored cigars. It also means chilling with my friends by one of their pools, having people over, Slurry Sundays, going to the beach to do a video in two or three weeks, and just relaxing. I love it - I've earned this break. I worked hard this school year for both grades and this music. Now I wait and hope it pays off. The part of the job I have left now is a part I especially enjoy...promo!

Speaking of friends and music, I'm off to go listen to my dude Josh Lo's most recent recordings. And if any of yall have music for me to listen to, send it my way. I'm a conessuer of all genres.

Be easy and good yall.

Things Are Taking Shape

Man stuff is beginning to pick up pace. So I guess I left yall with the CD being done and all that. I had the release party and it went well, although I want to work on my showmanship some more. Got a good 40 people in the building so thats cool by me. I've been selling CDs ever since and iTunes sales seem to be going very well :) Passed up a Young Joc music video in sales so that's not bad at all! I get the sales report in in about two months from now so I can't tell you for sure how its going though. Stuff is being sent out to the street teams this week, including my friend YJ in Ormond Beach. So thanks to all the street teams and if you are interested shoot an e-mail to me at emailtre@gmail.com and I'll get some stickers out to you ASAP.

Anyways I'm back home now and relaxing. Not much going on - family, friends and all that. Enjoying life. Yall be good and feel free to e-mail me. Its the summer...I got time.

Be good.
