Recording "Paradise" In The Studio

This was a moment to remember for the rest of my life. I went over to Ox's house expecting the same quality good enough for a rough draft and walked out a new man. Ox had introduced me to a very experienced engeneer named Nathaniel. Dude played no games. My homie Ox needed to step out for some time so it was just me and Nate using our time highly productivly. We put in the Paradise session into protools and the first thing he asked me is how do I want the song to sound and what do I want to do with it. I told him this is going to be a song for everyone, but the ladies especailly. So I told him I want my voice to sound sexy for the ladies on my L.L. True J tip you feel me!!? I let him know this is going to be a big record spined in many places so I needed the RnB lyrics I wrote to it to be on point and to switch a small part around. After the bridge I needed him to chop off a part of the beat and he did it without a problem while everyone else acts as if that would be rocket science. After that I got back in the booth and made magic happen with the secound verse that I thought wasn't even going to be on my album "Not Your Average Rapper". Then Nate kindly suggested that I do adlibs through out the whole song. I didn't know what to say at first so we listened to the beautiful song over again a few times and soon the words just flew out. I got back on the microphone and just let it have it.
So yeah make sure you check out my music, bio, photos, and more videos:

True Knowledge C Khid "Dreaming Contest"

This gentleman I'm speaking about named C Khid is a dope Hip Hop artist from N. Carolina who has became very succesfull through youtube with over a million veiws. Now since his officail album is dropping next year he is giving other hungry artist such as myself an oppertunity to land a feature on his album. To top it off you would win a free microphone that works with your computer for winning. Now the contest is very simple, he created a song chorus about being a dreamer and made the link availible to download. As an artist you have to write ONE verse only one that you feel will match the record and perform it live on youtube as a video responce to the contest video. So at the begining of the video you must shout out C-Khid's popular trade mark and shout out losbeats to represent the producer of this song. The beat is very hot I must say.
Watching this video really inspired me to go for it and try to get the best that life can offer. So I wrote my 16 bar verse in 15 minutes and then took a half an hour to keep saying it over and over again. The smartest thing I did was go to Marco Polo and reach out to him for help, because he is crazy when it comes to editing videos seriously. I told him all about C-Khid and all details to the contest and by the time I got to Marco's house he already had the beat downloaded. I was so happy about that. So we got the camra out, got in position, and then we just started doing different takes. The next day I had over 100 veiws on youtube already and C-Khid himself commented on my video responce giving my a 5 out of 5 stars I was so happy.
So I'm going to go a head and let you watch my video responce.

So yeah make sure you check out my music, bio, photos and more videos:

Yet Another Sunday Night

First of all my showcase at the longest running Hip Hop open mic is Febuary 7th 2010. Now last sunday at EoDuB, oh boy do I have a story for you. lol... You see I signed up for number 16 on the list and my turn was coming up very soon. The funny thing is that when you come to EoDuB they show you love when your hot, but trust me when your not the people will just turn around and walk away. So this is what happened after this one dude went on stage and he ripped it and just kept going. He wasn't even on the list the 3 Kings called him up and let him rock away. Tell me how after he got off stage without me even noticing on the count of I was so tuned into the stage almost the whole Pyrimid club walk outside behind him because he kept on rapping and just rapping. All I noticed is that the club just got empty and there were only about 14 people standing around. I told my dude Poisen Pen, "Yo I'm bout to do some promo" and just walked off outside. I go outside and I see all of these people circled around this man in his own mental sipher, he just kept on rapping and rapping. I knew my time to shine was very soon though he just wanted to keep going I opened my mouth out of fustration in front of every one having eye contact with AlBeBack from the movie ATL another great MC who rocks at EoDuB. I said the first thing that just came to my mind in a rhyme saying no one is inside everyone is outside and basically I'm going up on stage very soon and that you should all watch it. I don't know how I did it with a freestyle but I had everyone laughing and enjoyed. After about 5 minutes inside the club was packed again. Guest who was on stage then, Poisen Pen. Yo! My dude Poisen Pen ripped it on stage ridiculously. After that is was my time to go and the rest was history. Make sure you hit me up add me as your friend check out my bio photos videos and music... etc...

The Gospel Of Hip Hop

This book I'm reading call "The Gospel Of Hip Hop" is deep. Written and auto graphed by KRS1. Alsom by Dj Kool Hurk and True Master a major producer for most of wu tang lyrics. I feel like this book is the kind of book that can guide me and give me quotes to live by everytime I turn another page in this Hip Hop Bible. This book teaches me a lot about the meaning of Hip Hop, were it came from, and were it could be leading to now. Reading this book makes
True Knowledge feel as if he is the future of music. This is from page 19 message #63.
It doesn't matter what the world is doing or what the world has done, when God decides to move, no force on or in the Earth can stop such a movement. Historically, over the past 36 years, Hip Hop has been such a movement in the United States. And now this people, who were once destroyed, have found favor in God, as he has always favored usm not just with a prophet, but with his presence. And out of us chose one to lead, teach, and guide us to the path of his devine favor. And with that presence, he's offering to us the secpter of rulership. That, that which was not becomes that which is. And that which was last, he would make it first. This is the Lord's doing and it is marvelous in our eyes. (Minister Louis Farrakhan, 2007)

Studio Work & Networking

First and formost I would like to say the my officail showcase date @ EoDuB is my mother's birthday Febuary 7th 2010. It's going down Ave A. BTN 6th and 7th street.
The day before yesturday I had brought my dude Marco Polo with me into the studio I been working with for my dabute album "Not Your Average Rapper". We worked on a song together called "I'm A Professional". I say he definetly killed it on the secound verse perfectly fitting in the middle as the only rap feature I have on my album. Here's the problem. See many people know me as a different rapper and one of the main reasons is because I do not curse in any of my songs. Yes that's right as a rapper I do not curse in any of my songs. I would like to keep myself universal and very positive through my music. This is why I do not have the intentions of putting many rappers on my album, because I know it's going to be a whole nother issue. I often told Marco Polo not to curse at all and still the S word the N word seems to apear. Oh and I'm being a Jack Ass for not wanting any profanity on my album. I will go right back to the session next time I go in that studio and take out the curses or just radio edit it some how. The song came out dope and you will see Marco Polo on my album I'm happy for that, if it wasn't for him I truely would not have as much progress I have today. He was the one in the studio with KRs1 and Hakeem Green, took me back stage to meet Rhyme Fest, Rakim and many others in BB Kings. I will never take credit for what he did for me. And dude is sick with video editing. He did things for me that is posted up on youtube already. Polo Visions
Latley my networking skills have been up there, speaking to many people in different parts of the world as well as many people in America. I've gotten responses about my videos and music from many people in London and that feels really good to know that so many people can connect to the message in my music. I use many different websites to manage myself as an artist, to let people know a lot more about me and to let people hear my music.

Last Call For Realnest

This blog right here will help me keep track of how many websites I'm on. Yesturday helped me realize how hard it really is to be doing all of this promotion all alone. I signed up for 3 more websites yesturday morning.

Managing myself as an artist online is the main thing I do with my free time other then writting and recording more music. I use facebook.com very frequently to speak to people out of New York and to send people my youtube video of me rapping for KRS1 and Hakeem Green from Channel Live. I'm not ready to let anyone get over that one at all. I'm even on twitter trying hard to communicate with people about my music and the difference between the music that is forced down their ears everyday on the radio with hidden agendas. Yesturday on facebook many people responded to my status about actually going door to door as an artist to sell people my cds. Saying I know I will hear nos I know people may slam the door in my face, but I will still be motivated as a very strong artist mentally. Many people on facebook respected that. So I'm going to leave you with my internet links and hopefully you fall in love with me. lol...
