The Result of a MusiK Withdrawal

Monday, April 15, 2013

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.

Gonna be on here at least twice a week. Got a HUGE surprise for anyone that still cares haha.

Oh n if you're interested in that lifestyle I was talking about last post (see I didn't forget..) I'll explain it in further detail later..

Can't tell you too much else about the spotlight project (mainly because there's not much else left to say) but I can let you know I worked extremely hard on it and I hope you all will enjoy it as much as I do.

I'll update you more as I record the tracks.

Be back in a couple days... For real this time haha!

Late Night Vibe

I doubt many people are going to read this but I like writing so I'm going to blog anyway.

I realized I have a lot of true hardcore fans that rock with most (if not all) of the music I drop.

Thank you to everyone who supports me.

I try as hard as I can to bring you quality when it comes to providing you with original music. I have extremely high expectations for my music, and my fans deserve nothing less. Whether it be through music, videos, performances, or anything else for that matter – you can expect strictly excellence and professionalism from here on out.

Consider it a lifestyle..

Yea, thats it; a lifestyle sounds kinda right.

A lifestyle to be a part of and represent.

But in order to be a part of it, we cannot be willing to accept anything less than the highest of quality. To understand this lifestyle is to understand that anyone and everyone in it is an expert at – or at the very least, truly dedicated to – their craft whether it be sports, business, media, or any other profession.

To us 3/5 stars is NOT acceptable. Just passing a class is NOT enough, we strive to be the top. Anyone (whether they're involved in this lifestyle or not) should feel completely confident when working with someone that represents us and the reputation that is attached to our lifestyle.

People will consider us professionals..

From the way we dress to our mannerisms to our work ethic.

Yes..

I like that a lot..

An elite group of success.

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

Well that's all for now, I need some sleep. I'll definitely talk more about this later though. So if you want to be a part of it I suggest you pay attention to the upcoming blogs.

Cool?

More music coming soon.

Great music.
