Blessed to Be Where I'm Headed

Let's Ride

Man it’s been a while with this blog and I been slacking. I guess that means I'm close to making it right?

Nah that actually means I'm close to faking it LOL. I'm frontin big time man. Nah actually to be real I been wrappin up my first mixtape. To be real I been done with my 1st project but there were some records I wanted to hold back for my 2nd mixtape and hold back for my album. I didn't want to show my entire hand too soon. I think I've done enough. I've put out 4 street singles off this project and they have all done well. Recap in late December "4 In The Clip" ft Styles P, G Rap & Joell Ortiz. Then "Times R Hard" ft Joe Budden & J Life, "Urban Legends", and now recently "3rd Degree" w/ Saigon, Crooked I & Scram Jones.

So now I'm on the verge of leaking "Da Livest" which should come out any day now (Shake sidebar: It’s out now, I’m slow posting the blog). So far so good I'm just hitting 2nd gear and making sure I make all my moves count. The tape is done it'll be up within a week or 2 right here. I'm glad "3rd Degree" has been received so well. I been so tied up lacing shit for my 2nd mixtape even though my first one ain't even done but I'm doing that and at the same time writing shit for a album I want to drop at the end of the year. "3rd Degree" like "4 In Clip" was special to be apart of. Lyricist coming together and doing what we doing is needed and I think the fans agree. That’s the response my peoples are telling me that’s out there for the most part and I'm glad. Crooked and I actually got up through my dude Shake from this site. Crooked heard my joints on here and Shake made the plug. I got at son and said "we need to knock something out" and we did just that. Shout out to Crooked for being a real Hip Hop dude. He actually just asked me to be on his new mixtape he's working on so you know I couldn't say no. So we about to go right in and get it poppin again.

For those who have read my blog from jump you guys know the journey I've taken. This shit has been a grind. I have kept you guys up to date on all my ideas and moves about to be executed. You see my mindstate and how I get down. I'm trying to bring back that feeling to this game that I used to get when I was inspired. Hopefully you cats feel what I'm doing."Da Livest" is out now. It’s a true New York record sorry for the dickheads who will say "oh another New York record" or "damn it’s too New York." Yeah sorry that’s what you do when you from NY. Within the next few weeks I got some surprises again for my loyal readers (yeah they exist). Alot of folks asking if I got at Lil Wayne. I wouldn't basically say I got at him but I mean I made a reference that made sense. A Lot of people are gun ho about Lil Wayne right now like he's the illest lyricist. Well the majority of hardcore Hip Hop and underground fans respect the dude for his grind and all that but they know what it is. There's a lot of cats running around like they the lyrical king and best rappers but they don't even rap from the gut, no presence, far from clever, and they word play is novice.

It’s time to step ya shit up real talk. There's too much mediocrity in this rap game. On all levels and there's no room for that shit in this saturated ass market. I'm talking beats, rhymes, and many other things. Mixtapes even are getting watered down and boring you see the same ol rappers on every Mixtape.

I mean I love Jadakiss, Cassidy and I don't hate Lil Wayne at all. But damn man ever heard of progression? Canibus in 98 rocked the Mixtape scene cause Clue gave him light. Same shit with Mase, Cam, LOX, Nature, Nore and all of em. These DJ's these days don't have the power they used to have on the Mixtape circuit cause cats like Crooked I, Saigon and Joe Budden can just give it straight to the fans with the intenet now. You would think the fans have spoken and made their voice be heard. Not really, I see Mixtapes drop all the time and I hardly see Crooked getting shine on any of em. Saigon here and there nothing crazy and Budden does his own thing. These DJ's are A&R's now and they have their own artist now so that in a sense is fucking shit up cause they have other things they trying to spread out there which is a conflict of interest. It’s lame yeah but with the internet we don't need some of these clowns we can just go straight to the fans and hand you a record like "3rd Degree." Stay supporting cause without ya'll we don't have much outlets with the way the politics are currently. Let’s keep this shit alive.

Til next week, yurp!
