Sorry! Back though.

Sorry sorry sorry, I know I'm extremely behind with the blogs and I know everyone is wondering what is up.

I'm in the middle of working on Paradise for those of you who remember me mentioning that project awhile back so I can't talk for too long.

Professional is done and you guys will hear the first single for it soon. The sooner I can finish the video for it, the sooner it will be released. It's sooooooo awesome. It really has a different feel then anything I've ever heard. The Young Manik section of your library will stay on shuffle from this project on. The music is quality. You will see.

That's all for now. I will post again in the next couple of days.

Check my teaser!!

Professional (OFFICIAL TEASER)!!

Professional Coming Soon!

The project is titled "Professional". It will be my second all-original project. This means I've written, produced, and engineered the entire project by myself from start to finish. I don't consider it an album but it is to be taken more seriously than any of the other projects I have put together before this. I hope you guys are ready.

I'll keep it short

For the record, the projects that I will put out regularly after this one will not take nearly this long (I hope), but I am almost done with it. Expect to hear flame this summer.

Working on some music videos :) they're gonna be dope.

New cover art also coming soon for the project.

I love art.

We are the basis of professionalism. Let me know when you think you're ready to join us.

@YoungManik

That is all.

New Moves

It took me a little longer than I expected but I got the photo shoot done. And yes! I cut my hair, I'm probably going to grow it out again though..

My dawg Richard is behind the lens. Follow him on Twitter at @FilmSteez. He takes ill pictures for real. 

HMU if you need pictures taken

"Cool...." you say. "You took one picture, whooptie-freakin'-doo" you say..

NO

You guys are about to see things get live. Now that the project is being finished, and the camera situation is organized, there will be tuns and tuns and TUNS of visuals for anyone who wants to see music videos and what not.

Going to start performing again as well..

But this time I get to bring more of the experience to you! Sooooooo.. now is a good time to start following the YouTube page, (www.youtube.com/YoungManik) because there will be a lot more action on that page in the coming months as well as on my InstaGram (@YoungManik) and Tumblr (youngmanik.tumblr.com).

I'm going to have to put together a website that displays all this info..

Anyway y'all, we're bout to be on! You guys should be hearing new music soon! This is a little bit of proof that I haven't just been sitting around haha. I'll be back tomorrow to talk more, I'm just really tired tonight man...

HMU if you need QUALITY mixing/mastering for cheap

Follow me on Twitter! @YoungManik!

I told you I'd be back

So let me tell you about how I hopped out my car last night in the rain, not knowing my iPhone was on my lap, and sprinted towards the building in an effort to escape the storm, only to leave my iPhone facing up in a public parking lot in the pouring rain for the next 3 hours.. I get back to my car and come to find that not only did it NOT get stolen, it still works perfectly. Can you believe it?!? :D

Anyway, lets get to the blog.

I should be getting into a photo-shoot soon; likely sometime later this week so I can start getting things rolling for the release of this project.

I'm going to drop my first single sometime in early may..
Oh I need to find a female to model for me in a music video for a day for some $$. N I need a female for a photoshoot (separate from the music video).

Starting with this project (formerly known as spotlight) my music is going to sound a lot more unorthodox. But I like it. It's more on the musical side of "weird" than on the "crazy sounds" side if that makes sense..
This project is going to be extremely different than any mixtape you've ever heard. That's why I can't call it a mixtape. I love the project though.. I'm not trying to be different when I make the tracks.. It's just how I'd like the song to sound. It's definitely a breath of fresh air though. There's a hint of normality in a lot of the songs, some tracks have the feel of a mainstream song but the project is far from it. The project is going to be lyrical but not wordy, and the beats tend to differ in theme...

Extremely........

But keep in mind, I produced all of the beats. :). I dunno.. I love em.. There super left field and extremely different but I can still vibe to them.

Once I mix n master the tracks how I want, then we can talk about a release date, but expect it to be sometime early summer..
I'm really excited for this project guys.. This is the one I'm going to perform.

Speaking of..

I need to start planing tour dates..

I should be back in a few days to talk about the photo shoot and what not..

Thank you to everyone showing support by reading the blog or following me.

Oh follow me on twitter yo, @youngmanik!!

That's for now y'all.

You guys hear that 'broke it' track I dropped a few weeks ago on soundcloud? (http://soundcloud.com/youngmanik/broke-it)
