• More Progress

"I'm back in Philly for some time. I have a long list to tackle that just seems to keep grow'n...no matter how much I go at it. I have collaborations, graphics & web pages to design. It never seems to end. The street album is still in the works and is coming along great. When I'm done I'm have enough material in the archive for about 4 LPs. Artists & producers I'm currently work'n with in the Philly area include Danny Ca$h, JL & Mackey, Franchise, Kidd Drama and you know......the MakeSure crew. I'm going strong in 2010. New decade, new year, new life. There's too much money circulating around you not to have any..."

• Death To Mixtapes, DTM™ ...

"If you ever see me post up DTM then...yeah...that's what it means. Everyone & their kid has taken commercial instrumentals and heavily abused 'em over these last 10 years. Now that we are enter'n the 10s, us artists need to end this. Mixtapes have got'n old & doesn't separate the REAL artists from the trash ones. Any artist who's serious about their music isn't gonna pass up the fact to have exclusive tracks that they can market, promote, perform & distribute how they please without have'n to worry about copyright violations. And those artists keep their cover songs to a minimum. Commercial & already establish'd artists are the ones that release mini projects with a compilation of cover songs (a mixtape).

Welcome to the Street Album era. All you new artists need to separate yourself by find'n your own sound. Come on now, do you want the listener to always think of the original artists of the track every time the hear a beat that you record'd over? Of course not. You want them to focus on you since you are try'n to get out there & be heard. SO! All you serious artists, head over to soundclick, myspace or wherever you know hot producers are, if you can't afford exclusive rights then LEASE. Still better than use'n someth'n that's already used..."

• Back Into Go Mode!

"It's been a year & a half since I work'd on The Foundation, my debut mixtape but was discontinued because I felt that I didn't go my hardest. I then spoke of start'n a street album series call'd "Lyriphysics" after my style of Hip Hop. However, that was last December when I stated that. Now ELEVEN months later, I feel as though I am in the right mindset to finish all the songs I start'd and left incomplete. PLUS begin work'n on the press kit & album material. I got the lyrics, beats that are instant hits, and together will have the potential to sell merchandise, ringtones (& hopefully albums bcuz right now, EVERYONE'S album is flop'n!) in the millions all while build'n up the international BUZZ that I am aim'n for. I am CONFIDENT & all I need now is to catch the attention of someone in a position to put me in THE position..."
