"3 A.M." - Eminem


One of the better songs Eminem has released off of his upcoming "Relapse."

I still don't know what I think of any of the stuff he has dropped, but this video is pretty sick.

"Hater" - The Dream



To be honest, I really like this song. Good stuff. Very creative.

Big Sean & Mike Posner Kill It At Duke!



Big Sean and Mike Posner doing a show out at Duke University. They killed the shit with one of my favorite songs "Smoke n Drive." When the song is over, the guys at DUke cut em off and the crowd keeps going. Thats music.

This Is Personal...

Lately, I have been feeling the need to open up about certain things. This blog has gone from sort of a backpackers materialistic culture all the way to a mix of my own feelings (pause).

I have undergone so many changes this year. My first full year of college is almost done. I am on my way to England soon. I am scared. I am terrified because I am not sure if I will succeed. Yes, I know I am capable of it. I am just terrified of the possibility of not completing my goals. I really need to step my game up. I really wish that I could of done things differently at the start of this year, but I can't go back.

I have to make drastic changes this summer and this coming fall. So, if you see me update this less. If you start seeing me less and less. It is me just working hard to make myself the person I want to be, if you can't accept that, let's rethink our shit and get a life. Don't support me. I could care less, the only support I need is the one inside my chest (pause), so as long as my heart keeps beating, I will never fail.

Fuck off.

On other news, I am working on a project. It is untitled as of now, but it will be either 10 minimum songs or 18. I have yet to figure out. I have the beat selection. But it won't be released till it is 100% finished. I will work on it at my own pace. It might come out next week. It might come out next year. It might not come out at all. BUT. I will work on it to satisfy my own goals. 

Peace & much love.

My Voice In Rhyme

Uh hum.........

Since I was born, no, since I was formed
Nah as a matter of fact, since I was torn
Torn between two genders, before I swam
Before I learned its not no, its I can
Since I developed from an egg to a fetus
I knew that deep down that I would lead us
Lead us out this situation of our misery
This is making me lose my sympathy
For those who lost faith in ourselves
When was it our wealth before our health
Take a second, just read back a little
Down to the cells that lack a sickle
There’s a war going on, not with guns
But between everything that we love
Between our homes and our morals
From our streets all the way to the corals
Back up to the glaciers fading dry
Time to act up and face the "why"
No guarantees in life but death
So why not live like there’s nothing left
Live like there isn't a choice
Live like they want to take your voice
Live like its down the very last moment
Live like you mean the words that are spoken
Don't take for granted of what you’re given
Truthfully, you’re only blessed to be living
This isn't conscious, but more for open minds
For those who seem to close their eyes
Stop being ignorant, your time has come
Make the difference before your time is done




Damn. All me. I knew I was good, but damn. lol

Henrique Oliveira at the Rice Gallery

Come on now. If you don't find any of this guy's work amazing, you are blind. This is what real art is supposed to be. It has to be out of the box and pushing the limits of art. It has to dare to be different. It has to cut the fine line of crazy and genius.

Check The Kid: Blu

Blu was one of the featured MC's on XXL's "Freshman 10." He stands alone as one of the best kept secrets of the class. His style is familiar, but unique. He brings a fresh new standard to the game. His lyrics are thought provoking and he is on his way. Download his latest mixtape "Her Favorite Colo(u)r" here.
