New Muzik Monday (week 2)

Greetings and Salutations,

To all my music lovers world-wide...It's New Muzik Monday! 

The song for this week is a mix of EDM (Electronic Dance Music) and Hip-Hop. It's called Higher Ground Flow. The title comes from the track Higher Ground by Hudson Mohawke x Lunice. I love the original song! Much respect to Hudson Mohawke x Lunice for making a versatile club banger for me to flow to. I used to listen to it while working out in the gym. Back then I would think how dope the tune would be if it had an emcee spitting a few verses. I decided to take up the challenge.

Originally the song was recorded for my mixtape "Kingdom of Shadows." I stopped working on the mixtape to finish recording the album. The mixtape was an eclectic mix of hardcore Hip-Hop, R&B, Reggae, and two dance tracks. Higher Ground was one of those dance tracks. Since the mixtape is on hold for the immediate future perhaps it will be release one of these Monday's at a later date. Higher Ground Flow, is forty-eight bars of hard rhymes over a banging EDM tune.

Check out the song if you like it tell a friend to tell a friend. if you hate it tell everyone to listen and critique how terrible the music is. Whether you're a fan or a hater...take a listen. I'm already cooking up hot tunes for next week. Until then, Peace and keep listening. 

Muzik News

To all Hip-Hop Heads world-wide.

My song "Four Walls," the last single off Tha Audio Bully album is now available on all digital platforms. The treatment for the video is already done and shooting will begin after the "Love Hip-Hop" video is released next month.

The video production for "Love Hip-Hop" was started last week. After scouting around Amsterdam to Haarlem for a few days we finally found the best spots to guerrilla shoot (shooting without a permit). The day after we began shooting it began to rain. 

Most of the video is shot outdoors. The weather has been rainy and inhospitable so outdoor shots were on hold for the last few days. Two of the locations feature graffiti from local artists in different styles. Some people do lettering,while others design whole scenes. One of my favorite locations features characters from the Guardians of Galaxy movie. 

The concept for the video is to show all the elements of Hip-Hop. MC'ing, Graffiti, DJ'ing, B-Boying, and Knowledge combined to give a visual to the song lyrics. I'll write another post once the video is done. Until then check out the new music and some pics from the video shoot below.

New Video and Art

What's poppin people!

It's been awhile since my last post. During that time I've been through more up's and down's than a roller-coaster.

The "down's" were having leg surgery to remove the metal plate and 5 screws I got a long time ago. The surgery went well but due to a hematoma I had to keep my leg elevated and couldn't walk for a month. It's been a month and a half since surgery and the hole on my leg has finally closed up. 

The "up's" by far outweigh the "down's" in terms of creativity. Once I was mobile again, I shot the video for New York Spit. The song is Dollarmentary and I trading bars about our love of Hip-Hop over a classic 90's beat. The video was shot in Amsterdam and New York City. This was the second single off "Tha Audio Bully" album coming January 2015. The song is available on iTunes by clicking the link.

 

During my recuperation I spent entire days drawing and writing. The results from those endeavors were primitive colored creations. The drawings were done in blue, red, and black ink. Not by choice...those were the only pens around me at the time. With the exception of "Gun Pop Art" which was drawn and shaded in black pen. Then it was colored in marker by a friend.  Some of the images will be used in future painting like "Lucky 13" or "Cat in Baby Suit,"  the rest were for practice.

There are more videos, music, and blog posts coming in 2015. I had to focus less on the posting and more on the creating for awhile, but in 2015 I'll figure out how to balance the two. Check out the new video and art. If you like what you see leave a comment and repost it to a friend. 

Tha Audio Bully

 What's Poppin People!

The track posted below "Tha Audio Bully" is also the title of the new album. The song is hardcore rhymes over head-nodding production. 

I was in my M.O.P mind state when recording this track. If you don't know who M.O.P (Mash Out Posse) is...then check out their songs "Ante-Up" and "Sparta"...you will become a fan. 

There's more music coming next month and I'll post some science and technology articles as well. 

Checkout the new track, leave a comment and don't forget to tell a friend to tell a friend. 

New Video Exclusive

Hello Readers, 

Like the title says this is a new video exclusive (within the first few minutes of being uploaded) release of my new video "Wanna Sound Like Me". 

The song is off Tha Audio Bully album coming later this year. The video is fast paced visuals that follow the lyrics and provide a 3D experience to the song. The song is lyrical and melodic, so the video is meant to give images to what the rhymes are saying. I believe in making a fan a day, cuz it helps the music reach new ears. Check out the video and if you like it, forward it to a friend.

Trick or Treat (The Halloween song)

I've been heavily in the studio this month trying to finish up the new album. 

Since it's still the giving season I offer you my loyal readers a new track fresh out the studio. It's a concept song about Halloween. On Halloween everyone is allowed to wear a mask so trying to identify someone after a crime occurred could be quite difficult. 

We took that concept and ran with it.
The song is off my upcoming album "Tha Audio Bully". It's titled "Trick or Treat" aka The Halloween song, and it features Young Gun a dope MC out of Cleveland. The track is raw Hip-Hop flavor with a fast paced beat and hardcore lyricism.

Take a listen and if you like the song, download it and tell a friend to tell a friend.

My Addictions

Hello Music Lovers, 

Here is my new video "My Addictions" off the Grindin Muzik album. The video features footage from shows in New York, Miami, Amsterdam and Las Vegas. The song is about dealing with addiction.

Everyone has an addiction to something. It can be to their cell phone, food, drugs, work, sex, or money. There's nothing wrong with having an addiction. It only becomes a problem when a person lets it get out of control. When I was younger that's what O.G.'s (Original "Old" Gangsta's) would call "having a monkey on your back."  My addictions are no worse than then next persons the only difference is... I'm honest about mine.

Novicane

People keep asking "where is the music?" It's coming, but like all good things I'm taking my time to make it right. So to all my fans and haters here is a new track called "Novicane" fresh out the lab. The video will be shot in a few weeks. Its going to have a nice theme to it...that I won't spoil, by telling you now. Besides, it's always better to see something than hear about it. 

Check out the track, if u like it leave a comment...or leave one even if you don't like it. Either way take a listen and tell a friend to tell a friend.
