It was the summer before junior year in a dark basement party and I was trying to put my hands on her booty(Mis-education like a mutha fucka). Word to Coco of Quadron for doing this ish.

BLACK O WEEKEND

So..... Friday(Sept 16th 2011) My Band Black Orchard has a gig at the Quennect 4 Gallery(1000 North Milwaukee Ave on the 4th floor 11p.m.) I checked out the Chicago Hip Hop Group PRIMERIDIAN there and not only did they put on a good show(Just three songs) but the gallery is awesome. Great artwork and they have a.......smokers room(Snoochy booootches).

And....Saturday(Sept 17th 2011) The Band is in a musical lightly based on our coming together. The play is called Dweebs, Geeks, and Weirdo's(Harold Washington Culture Center on 47th S. King Drive 4pm show and 8pm show) written by the talented Writer and Director Calvin King. It's been a great experience working with Calvin for this project and I think folks will be laughing they ass off with a little waynes brothers "Message"!.

A Dark Place called here

Another E.P. by yours truly. A little dark.......okay, alot dark with a couple light spots. It sounds like portis head mixed with some 808's and Cudi if your one of those folks that like to label and compare everything. It's a smokers EP like anything that's trip hoppy. Lot more singing and sonic sounds then rapping but the lyrics are witty and playful none the less. This EP is full of the music I could really make all day but i don't think there's a huge audience for it plus it's just to dark to inspire optimistic thoughts and happy emotion, it's truly "A Dark place called here". My favs if your a track skipper the lightest song on the EP "Druggy", "Cheaters", "Killer", and "The fall".

Rigamortis behind the scenes with Kendrick Lamar

He's Def doing his thing. Mark my words we'll be seeing this cat for a long time coming. His new album SECTION 80 is a beast of art, awareness, and real. You should buy it.

Sexy Swag

Coke Sex Swag

Nina Simone Beat Tape

My tribute to Nina Simone. A beat tape I made from nothing but Nina Simone samples. I want to do a whole collection of the greats for a lounge series(Charlie Parker,Thelonius Monk,Billy Holiday etc.). It's mellowy trip hop hip hop. The kind of music I grew up on during my emo phase(smoked out and wishing you were an alien but still want to do art). I listened to alot of Nina then and fell in love with her music. Plus I picked up some books on her at the second hand and they kept saying she was a little crazy. I always love artists that "they" say are crazy.

When You go to a show that inspires......

The night of this show was amazing

Another dope Artist....... MORUF!

So it's happening again like whatever year that was when Ruff Ryders was jumping off and pherrell and the neptunes just came in, right after that new ass Virginia Timbaland sound had becomes it's own. It's happening! Crazy new talent is pouring itself into this present time from Dom Kennedy(Who I must say in 2011 watch out) to B.O.B to Pac Div and the mutha mutha Cool Kids. It's a lot of talented MC's with a lot of dope beats out here amongst the bullshit we're hearing. Well in my book MORUF is another cat that's mad sincere with the lyrics and highly capable of keeping up with the best of what the new has to offer. I cam up on him just a few weeks ago and then finally listened to his latest project Garden State of Mind:Ready to live.......the shits dope. It takes me back to a time when niggas still had to blow on catridges to get them to work, the good ol days with a sense of now. Check the Jersey boy out it's worth it.
