Good Morning Rapper...

1:32 PM  ,  

      Hello world!  Be on the lookout for my latest track titled "NC Verified" produced by my alias, So Cou.  It's crazy cuz I was getting ready to go to work this morning and this kid stops me while I'm gettin some stuff out of the trunk, he's like "Hey man do you rap? because I see you rapping in ya mic in the window sometimes."  At first I was a little creeped out that people can see me in my window (bout to put up those sound-proof curtains sooner than later now), but then I realized he was just a fan. He asked if I had any cds for sale so that he could buy one.  I told him I would get something together for him which is also crazy cuz I had just finalized my next mixtape, just waiting on some drops to come back from some DJs and promoters like Mr. Neva Dead from AYP Mag.  When I told him that I had a show October 7th at the Soapbox, he said, "Really? What floor?" "First." "Ok I'll be there!" It was just a good start to a morning after spending all weekend planning and hoping things fall in to place with this rapping thang.

     So be on the lookout for the new track and come support my next show Friday October 7th at the Soapbox.  It's only $5 at the door and there will be drinks and live music from some new and great acts like J-Sales, and Grady Watts. It's presented by Louis T aka Mr. North Cack himself, founder of NC County Lines Clothing. RSVP to the event on Facebook Here

Update on Life and Love

9:24 PM  ,  

    I'm performing in 3 weeks at the Whiskey on front street! Wilmington, NC stand da fluckk upp!!! You prolly wont come tho [lame] but Ill be sure to take pics and chill wit the cool kids that do.
    My twenty minute set is gonna feature Eulogy (the best lyricist Ive ever met) and we are a part of Never RES Entertainment if u aint know. Other performers from all over NC: SELAH DUBB, SCOTTIE FLIPPEN w/ KELSEY LU, SKYBLEW, TY BRU, SKIIP LUCIANO, and DR. JONES. Peep da flyer and RSVP on Facebook:


     Me and my girl still gettin along, I love her to death she means the world to me and Im lookin forward to our future [awesomme].  I'm never really the problem in my relationships anyway. I know your like surreee... that's real bias of you, but I can explain. It seems the chick is always needing more attention than I'm giving, and trust I'm nice wit' making a girl feel special. I see it this way tho, any dude out there can say the same things I say and if it matters that much to you to hear someone tell u that you are beautiful everyday then u should go eat a Bruno Mars CD while waiting for a knight to come climb your hair; you gotta be more independent than that!
     My ideal chick knows shes da shit and dont need nor believe hype that any other dude kicks her way. Maybe it's just a female trait cuz I dont need to be told nothing except that I put it down and that she loves me whenever I tell her the same. Stay tuned for more on this subject...

     Other than that- I've never been excited bout taking a exam but next Friday I will pass the North Carolina state exam for personal lines insurance [the crowd goes wiiild]. Even more excited about the new job but I can't start until I go through training (luckily it's paid) and cant do that until I pass this test. I had to take and pass a course to even get this far so now u see where I'm at.

     All the things, starting from day one, seem to have prepared me for this point in life, but then again that is simply logical. All the steps you take lead you somewhere right??

?uestlove Participates In Vh1 Soul Train Documentary February 8, 2010 at 3:12 PM
Soul Train inspired many and in honor of the show, Vg1 aired a documentary on the iconic television music program. For years, folks witnessed soul acts and dancers take the Soul Train stage. One of those people, inspired by the show's greatness was The Roots' drummer ?uestlove. He recently took part in the documentary but also shared his thoughts on it, speaking with Steven Kurutz.

“I never missed an episode," he said, according to Speak Easy. Even when it was re-run time, I still studied it. That was the only place where I could see people who looked like me playing music. You would always catch mainstream artists like Stevie Wonder on the Grammys. But all t! hose under-the-radar soul acts, this was the only place that you could find them. It wasn’t like you’re going to see the Ohio Players on American Bandstand. I definitely knew of the Main Ingredient because of Soul Train. I didn’t know of Sylvia Robinson before Soul Train." 

He also explained that the show is tied to various childhood memories, including his first time seeing Rap on television.

"Between ‘73 and ’75, it came on at 12 in the afternoon. But then ‘75 to about ’79, it started coming on at 1am after Saturday Night Live went off the air. My parents still woke me up to watch it, which was kind of strange because they they were anti-television. I couldn’t watch TV as a toddler. So all my childhood memories are tied to this show. First time I got Crayola crayons, Sugarfoot was playing with the Ohio Players in 1974 with a double-neck guitar. The first time I! saw rap music on TV was Soul Train. There was a peri! od in &l squo;86 when I was on punishment for a month and I knew Run DMC was coming on. I’d have to coordinate during the week with neighbors, Mission Impossible-style, for me to open up my bathroom window and look through their bedroom and see Run-DMC."

He added that he takes lessons learned from the show to his new gig on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon.

"I’m trying to take lessons that I learned from Soul Train and apply it to [Late Night With Jimmy Fallon], especially with the artists we’re embracing. We have to reinvest in the music. Okay, we can bring the show back but who in black music is doing music so inspirational as to make one or two seasons of Soul Train? We’re one band. If this were the ‘70s, we’d be one of a jillion bands.”

No need to look through the neighbor's bedroom windows, the Soul Train interview with Run DMC is below.
Artists Likely To Receive Sales Boost Thanks To Grammy's February 8, 2010 at 3:02 PM
Following the airing of the 2010 Grammy Awards last month, a number of music artists are likely to see an increase in sales and a rise on the Billboard charts.

According to Billboard.com, artists including Lady Gaga, Taylor Swift, Pink, and the Black Eyed Peas are all expected to sell tens of thousands more albums than they sold in previous weeks.

The Black Eyed Peas, who won several Grammy awards and performed during the live show, could possibly sell anywhere between 25,000 and 35,000 more copies of their album The E.N.D. than they did the week before the Grammy’s.

The 2010 Grammy Nominees compilation album is also expected to crawl its way up the charts. The album features son! gs from Beyonce, Pink, The Black Eyed Peas, and more.

Specific numbers won’t be available until February 10 when the Nielsen SoundScan numbers are reported.
Melky Jean, Black Da-Da, Redd Eyez & Billy Blue Shoot Haiti Tribute Video February 8, 2010 at 3:02 PM
Four prominent Haitian artists spent the last weekend in Miami, recording "Mamman Pa Crie (Requiem For Haiti)." The song, with a corresponding video, included several established and major label artists, and was produced by Benzino. Included was onetime MCA Records artist Melky Jean a/k/a Melky Sedeck, who appeared alongside her brother Wyclef on his 2000 hit "It Doesn't Matter," as well as Zoe Pound emcee Redd Eyezz, Black Da-Da and Billy Blue.

The video, shot by R. Malcolm Jones, is set in Miami's Little Haiti section. Wyclef Jean makes an appearance in the final edit, during his sister's verse. The active! spokesman for Haiti Relief and the Ambassador Of Goodwill to the island nation said, "“This is big song. It’s an international, worldly song and I was happy to be a part of the video" in a statement.

The whole production was sponsored by Hip-Hop Weekly magazine, Requiem Clothing and veteran emcee/producer Benzino.
