After posting the stream for this track a few days ago in the Julian Gilbert post I thought it would be cool to give this song away. So I spoke to House of Blow today and we decided to give this away for free to pop off St. Patty’s for the Sprang weather. We always felt like this was the party jam. When the weather is nice and you start to get the feeling it’s here to stay, partying is in order. And partying is always the jump off x10 when you feel that nice weather vibe being tossed around. Halogen Glow was never available for FREE download before and this is a perfect opp to snach it up, add it to your iPods, blogs, playlists, DJ sets, and jam it at your Houseparties and BBQ buggaloo’s.

DONT SLEEP

more Tim Burton

it’s the 11 year anniversary of Big L’s death. Put It On was an anthem for Hip-Hop heads in the 90’s especially in New York. One of my favorite lines of all time came from this song; “you can’t kill me I was born dead.” I still say it sometimes as a quick response when it’s relevant to the convo and wonder if people know the reference. I feel like everyone jumped on his dick when he dropped Ebonics and although it’s a classic, it not what I remember him by. I remember Children Of The Corn demos on the Stretch and Bobbito show, his first album Lifestylez ov da Poor & Dangerous, DITC gems, and of course his classic freestyles on the show. If you’ve been around and in the know since then, you know that same radio show gave birth my career years later. It’s something I’m extremely proud of because I know theres a bunch of rappers from NY who never got the chance. Big-L was one of many giants from that era who solidified themselves as NY Hip Hop legend status, even before he died.

listen to this if you’ve never heard it before…. I remember hearing this live when it was on the air, in fact I might even have it recorded on a tape under my bed. This is when Big-L and Jay-Z used to run together and peep how L as so ill compared to Jay. They were peers of course and excellent rappers, and Jay still killed it, but he had no work for L.

listening to it as I type this and God damn I miss this time in rap so much, fuckkkk. truly one of the greats.

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!!!!!!!

This commercial by KIA for the new Sorrento was the best commercial, in my opinion, as far as creativity goes. It was fun, good music, had a concept, etc. Most of the commercials try to get you to laugh with stupid but memorable shenanigans and cute animals, both of which I can dig if they are actually good/funny. I enjoy the commercial-bowl more than the game and I think at this point it is the only reason I tune in. I didn’t think this year was that good in terms of commercials. I thought the Google one among others was cool too. Back when the “dot-bomb” hit, it seemed like commercials were a lot more innovative and edgy. I figured this year was shitty because most everything progressively starts to suck after a while BUT after reading this article in the NY Times I actually realized there are other elements involved that made the commercials a lot less creative and risky this time around. Check the link below for the article, it’s pretty interesting. thoughts?

I wasn’t a huge BIG PUN fan but I would be frontin’ super hard if I didn’t acknowledge that a lot of his records/beats were theme music in my high school days.

although PUN sold a bunch of records, you will never fully understand the complete scope of his body of work without seeing this amazing clip from THICKER THAN WATER, possibly the worst “Hip-Hop” movie of all time.

my good friends Cubic Zirconia dropped this single yesterday and the video today. such a banger.

cop the single on iTunes http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/josephine/id349928933.

Yesterday, Dark Void came out for XBOX & PS3. From what I understand, it is one of the most anticipated games of 2010. RACER did a remix of the original music from the game and samples a clip of my voice. It’s pretty rad. I uploaded it to Fairtilizer and you can download it for FREE…HERE

ALSO, PEEP THE NEW AND IMPROVED PRO FAIRTILIZER PLAYER!

stay tuned for pictures from my west coast excursion coming tomorrow*
