We're back like I never left. The last few months have been traveling, creating, and planting seeds for the future. The time has been well spent outdoors doing activities instead of sitting behind the computer writing. The positive is I've recorded new songs, made a new video, and traveled to the U.S., Japan, and Bulgaria. The negative is I haven't updated the blog in a few months. Thanks for the wait. My new singleTha GlobeTrotteris now available on all digital platforms. The song describes some of the adventures I experienced traveling around the globe. The video was shot in June. It was recorded between locations Sunny Beach in Nesebar, Bulgaria and Amsterdam, Holland. The production was done by JaRaheem from Scientific SoundLabs out of Philly, PA. The same guy who produced G.U.N. Muzik.
Aside from the single I've been recording a lot of new songs. I'm really heavy in the boom bap style of production. My music puts more emphasis on lyrical content than production. Speaking of dope producers. Check out my man DoomDaWiz new mixtape Wizdom. It features over thirty tracks of hard emcees over boom bap production. My next trip is to Split, Croatia. I leave in about a week to get video footage for the next project. It's the last trip for this year. The rest of the year will be concentrated on completing the album and preparing for a family expansion. Stay tuned for more music and videos over the next few months. Below are some photos from my trips and a few pieces of thought provoking street art.
Welkom to 2019! It's a new year full of potential opportunities. I would like to thank all of my supporters for sticking by me during the turbulence of 2018. I also want to thank all my haters for fueling my motivation to go harder and make the business bigger this year. Without the love and the hate...I could never evolve into a better man.
Last year was hard in business and my personal life. Some of the problems bled into my music while the others remained in the shadows. There's an old saying called Murphy's Law, which states..."Anything that can go wrong will go wrong." For me all the things went wrong around the same time. The crypto market crashed. For those of you who don't know, I'm a serious cryptocurrency investor. I started with mining bitcoin and namecoin back in 2014, and later got into trading. When the market crashed last year it caused a ripple effect damaging my other business endeavors like music and merchandising. I lost a lot of money and had to rearrange my assets to start making it back.
Last year wasn't all bad though. I got to do a lot of traveling to places on my bucket list and released the first single off the new album "All I Want". During my travels I also got some new ink. For a long time I wanted to have my TV logo tattooed on me. In Colombia I finally got it done.
I visited Prague - Czech Republic, Budapest - Hungary, Koh Samui -Thailand, Nesebar - Bulgaria, Alicante - Spain, Nice - France, and Cartagena - Colombia. Out of the places I visited, Cartagena had the most unique art. Their mix of Pre-Columbian imagery, bright colors, and detailed designs, created exquisite pieces of street art. At the bottom of this post are some photos from my trip to "The Walled City" last September.
The music is moving at steady pace. Half of the new album is already recorded. This album will feature collaborations with artists from Europe and the U.S.. The first single for 2019 G.U.N. Muzik, was released January 7th and is available on all digital platforms. The song is a grimey boom bap track that sounds like a cross between DMX "Get At Me Dog" and M.O.P. "Ante Up".
It's strange that the longer I make music the more people I meet from my past. I feel blessed to be able to work with guys I went to junior high and high school with. Seeing how all these brotha's have grown into men and musicians still passionate about their craft, keeps the fire burning within me. There is new music and videos coming so here's how you stay informed. Sign-up for the newsletter and join my social media (facebook, instagram, youtube, soundcloud) so you get the news first. Then listen to the new single G.U.N. Muzik and buy a copy for all your friends. Last, go to my website tygervinum.com for more music and check out our stores (eBay, Amazon, Marktplaats, and Bol.com). We have awesome shirts and baseball caps for men and women of all sizes. (The last two were just personal requests...thanxx in advance.)
The Motto for 2019 is...see more, do more, go further, live better, love passionately, and enjoy life! I wish all of you a prosperous and successful year. This is just the beginning...let's get it!
Summer is here! The sun is finally shining in Holland. For the last few days its been hotter than trying to tan in a Volcano. Although it's been hot here for awhile, I haven't been around to enjoy it.
Over the last few months I've been traveling around Europe. I've been to Prague - Czech Republic, Budapest - Hungary, and last month Nesabar - Bulgaria. I spent a week in a place calledSunny Beach. That place was one non-stop party. It's like Ibiza on steroids. There are so many activities to do aside from partying that I needed an extra week just to get through all the tourist attractions.
My experience in Sunny Beach motivated me to write a new song. Once I got back to Holland I jumped in the studio and recorded it. The song is named "Tha GlobeTrotter." According to the dictionary a Globetrotter is, "someone who regularly travels to different parts of the world." That definition accurately describes my new song.
This Sunday I leave forKoh Pha-ngan, Thailand. I'll be there for two weeks. Next month south of France, and in September two weeks in Cartagena, Colombia. I'm always on the move. There's so many places I want to see and only have a limited amount of time to do it.
Tha GlobeTrotter, is a song about my travels and experiences around the world. The version available now is only the ruffmix. The final version will be released on my upcoming album and will have scratches added. Check out the song below. If you like what you hear drop a comment.
What's Poppin People, Today is New Muzik Monday! My new single "All I Want" gets released next week. The song details some of the hardships I've experienced in my personal life. It also discusses things I want from a relationship. A girl slash friend of mine once said, there is no perfect romance. Everybody is going through life looking for someone just as f**ked-up as they are so they can be happy together.
As odd as it sounds I have found her words to be quite true. I don't believe there's a perfect person for anyone. I do believe there is someone who is just as crazy, chaotic and creative as I am. Once I find her we can build upon that foundation. The song "All I Want" is the first single from my new album Underground Artist Major Threat. It features soul singer and producer Tone Jonez on the chorus. This song has more of an R&B and soul vibe than my usual rap tunes. Each verse details desires and experiences that anybody whose fallen in love can relate too. It comes just in time for St. Valentines Day.
Once the song has been posted on digital platforms (which is next week) I will post a buy link. For now, you can listen to it below.
