What’s up world? It’s a brand new day and a brand new blog on hiphopdx with two brand new artists – CP and myself, Don Cerino.  This blog is dedicated to giving you a view into our world as we create our joint album over the next few weeks. Basically were starting somewhere near the bottom and giving you some insight as we make our way up. Being the first blog, its only right to introduces ourselves and let you know a little about what we’ve been doing and who we’ve been working with.

Coming straight from where it started, Bronx, NY I been at this music shit for the past five years and am finally at a point I’m happy with.  I released a CD March of last year entitled The Rap Game Is A Joke hosted by Statik Selektah that moved about 1,000 units out the trunk.  You might have heard my joints on hiphopdx, hiphopgame, or certifiedhiphop.com or caught me on tape with your girl, either way shout to anyone checking for me and supporting all I’ve been doing.  My next mixtape “Nothing In Life Is Free hosted by Mr. Peter Parker” is set for release this week and is basically the new starting point to the new hustle.  The tape includes joints with Reef the Lost Cauze, Emilio Rojas, Silent Knight, L.E.G.A.C.Y., Tunji of Inverse, Napsndreds and more, with ridiculous production from dudes like Statik Selektah, Domingo, ReaLson, Croup, Incise, and more. Craziest part about this mixtape is that it’s FREE. Time for promotion.  If you want a copy of the tape just hit www.doncerino.com and hit me up anytime with some feedback, I’d be more than happy to hear the criticism, good or bad.

The next two weeks are going to be real hectic.  Besides the press release for my  mixtape and spending more quality time with your girl, my boy CP came up from TN and were planning on finishing this whole album within that time.  We sat and brainstormed the shit out of the project the first day, trying to provide something different that you wouldn’t expect from either of us as artists over some really dope production.  Speaking of which-beat selection was CRAZY.  CP brought his batch of beats from dudes he’s been working with and I brought mine as well.  It’s pretty hard to narrow down 200+ beats down to 15 or so but we got crackin’.  We still ain’t down to the final 15 but we got about 7-9 definite tracks.  Every time we meet up we come through with more joints and after this blog hopefully we’ll have more. Anyway as hyped as I am and as much as I want to write I’m gonna’ hand this off to my man CP. Peace world. Get at me!

Hello my name is CP (myspace.com/cprhymes) and I’m… not an alcoholic, but I am from New Jersey.  I’m livin’ in Tennessee, cuz that’s where my fly honeydip resides, and where the grandmas is wild.  I’m the kid from whatever movie you liked recently, oh especially if it was the 6th Sense.  But yo all sarcastic cryptic bullshit aside, the first week of this album fiasco has been slow but steady, we have made some headway writing and picking beats, but still have a lot to accomplish; there’s mounds of work ahead as far as trying to make this album a cohesive piece of dried cow dookie, right now its more like chunky diarrhea: lots of ideas, but not much structure.  I can say that so far the stuff that I have been writing is a little different than my personal music, in that although all of the things I rhyme about are from my own life experiences, I’ve strung them into different arrangements to create a new character, so it feels like rhyming from another perspective however close to my own.

My manager is making me name drop now and between the two projects I have been working on my album and mixtape I have worked with: Brother Ali, Sadat X, C Rayz Walz, Skyzoo, The Nappy Roots, R.A. The Rugged Man, and several other surprise guests possibly including Dikembe Mutombo screaming about wallets and chocolate (for real the others dudes are on my tapes).  I’m working on this album with Don and then the mixtape and then the album.  Get the fine silver and your best bong out, were comin’ to a town near you, sooner than you think.  Done.  CP
