I know, let me explain.

BEFORE I EVEN GET TO THE MUSIC

He wasn't even old enough to vote... Stuff like this gets me heated.

If you don't know about the story of Trayvon Martin, now is a good time to look it up.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I've had the flu since like 2 days after that blog guys... it really sucked.. By the way, did you know if you plug your ears and nose and swallow 20 times really fast it usually stops your hiccups?

I HATE the hiccups now after having that flu..

I haven't had time to edit Vlog #2 and Vlog#3 yet. I will soon. Sorry I've been running a little behind but don't worry, I'm not going M.I.A. again haha.

:O! My bdays coming up soon?!

Umm, what else........... oh Spotlight

It's gonna be good.

Really good.

The earlier readers know that Loose Thoughts and Unplugged were more to just get my name out there, but this Spotlight mixtape gets kinda heavy.

Still not getting enough feedback on the blog to leak new music though; but when I can see that enough fans want to get involved, I will keep my word.

I want a PS Vita soooo bad now, I played the lil demo thing at Target yesterday.

By the way.. 4 printer cartridges = 75 bucks? Really?

I MASTER SONGS FOR 25 A TRACK, BIGGER DEALS FOR MORE TRACKS. If you want me to master any of your tracks hit me up. Young.ManiK@gmail.com 

You guys will hear the Manik/Stretch tape soon.

ITS CRAZY!!!

I'll be back on soon now that I'm over my cold thing.

S/O to all the people supporting me. Keep spreading the word!

The Spotlight - Mixtape Cover Leak

The Spotlight Mixtape Cover

First track dropping soon!

Ok I'm kinda excited about this project. I was finally able to just write lyrics... Nothing to catchy, nothing too wordy, but very much hip-hop all the same. It tends to get a little more personal than the previous projects, but at the same time it's still going to be a really fun mixtape.

You guys are DEFINITELY going to like it :D

As I've mentioned in a prior post, The Spotlight will have original beats as well as many main stream beats. I get a lot more involved with the music this time - it will be more than just straight wordplay (that'll be more for the Loose Thoughts series).

Now the first track is pretty much complete, and THIS is where you readers start to reap the benefits:
I am giving you guys the inside scoop right now so don't tell anyone! haha

 - I am planning to release the first track off of the mixtape AND my first official music video when I get 225 likes on Facebook. When I release it, it'll be found at all of the usual locations (links at the bottom), and the video will be more professionally shot and produced (in HD of course).

 - I know you guys have really been waiting, and I am soooooooo thankful for all of the support so far; so I decided that I will definitely leak the audio early through the blog so keep a look out for it!

I will keep you posted.

Track-listing coming... eventually hahaha

Stay Connected

It's only been a few days but I feel like I've been gone for a minute.

Stretch is back with a new single! Check it out!

His new mixtape Sellout is gonna be hot, its his second one.

Whats good everyone?!? I'm getting a whole lot of feed back now! I'm working with a lot of other artists and I swear theres a lot of real talent out there. The hard part is finding people who are hungry enough. My car is like super broken right now :/.. Fixing that will delay the purchase of an HD camcorder though... I'll see; either way I'll let you guys know when I come to a decision.

Dang, its really hot in here though..

I'm trying not to..

Nah, hold on, its too hot imma turn the AC on..

K my b,
I'm trying not to release the next single with out a video being released with it, so I can't promise anything too immediate,
however.. I'm going to be doing a lot of features, and with that being said I will upload those as soon as possible.

I'm currently re doing all of my pages, check em out! follow/ Support em!
