If you follow me on the Tweeter you may have caught wind that I recently had surgery to get my timebomb of an appendix the fuck out of me. But if not….last Tuesday evening, what started out as a stomach ache and a self diagnosis of food poisoning actually turned into one of the most painful experiences for me ever. After violently puking and not being able to lay down I was rushed to the hospital feeling as though someone repeatedly took a knife to my stomach. As hours wen’t by and IV’s pumped meds through the veins, the catscan result came back as acute appendicitis. I was admitted to the OR and subsequently underwent a Laproscopic Appendectomy, which basically is a standard procedure to take out your appendix. Fortunately they let me out the next day as they said I bounced back quicker than most. Pilled up and sore as fuck I came home and have been on the road to recovery ever since. Feeling a little closer to being able working on tunes, I’ll be back to working on Gas Galaxy any day now. Thanks again to everyone who sent their well wishes. Lucky for me my discharge and The World Cup seemed to have happened almost simultaneously so as I’m making progress I’m happily watching. Since I haven’t used the “send your music” embed on Fairtilizer, I put it here so send your music via the widget below. You can also send links, pictures, or whatever you deem entertaining to this email yakballzmusic@gmail.com while I’m hemmed up.

This post is so overdue but the timing may be impeccable as we pony up for the release of an epic YB x WM collaboration with Adam R. Garcia aka The Pressure. Sometime next week, myself, Weathermen and Adam are going to bring a new WM T-Shirt design as part of the ongoing T-shirt series we have been doing with renown artists for the last couple of years, available on shopshogun.com. So far we have had the likes of Alex Pardee, Jeremy Fish, Ewok One 5MH and Travis Millard, all of who’s designs were smashing successes online and on tour. Enter Adam R. Garcia, former Art Director at Rhymesayers Entertainment and now a graphic designer for Nike. Adams’s work spans from magazine covers to posters to CD packaging and more. Some of which you may or may not have seen but if there is one thing for sure, the man deserves his props.

I met Adam through Nick Hook of Cubic Zirconia, who suggested I hit him for some design-work around 2 years ago. We started small and continued to work together on several bigger projects including the cover for my upcoming project (yes I’m still working on this night and day) Gas Galaxy, the header for yakballz.net, and the Yak Ballz logo you might be familiar with (hint: it’s everywhere on this site). Extremely versatile in his design style, Adam draws inspiration from so many things that his actual creative process itself is just as mind-blowing as the execution of his finished product. Nick and I were talking him up recently and we agreed on three words that sum up this whole post, “he gets it.”

Now it’s time for you to get what we’re talking about when it comes to THE PRESSURE. why? because it’s good for you. Visit Adam at http://www.thepressure.org immediately, follow his twitter feed, and stay tuned for his exclusive Weathermen T-shirt design coming soon!!!

Oliver Cartwright is a graphic artist out of Cambridge, England I met via the internet a little while back and kept in close touch with as he has kept me up to speed on current projects he has been working on. He has a super unique style boasting robotic and machine like images with great detail and a rapid fire approach to everything he does. I found myself revisiting his work more and more and wondered how he was so productive with completely refined finished products in these short periods of time between his updates to me. No explanation aside from the man is truly on his grind, extremely talented, and contageously inspiring to say the least.

After creating a timeline for some upcoming micro-projects I had been working on, I asked Ollie if he wanted to get down with an upcoming Yak Ballz leak. He obliged and actually opted to go one step further. So after a good while of emails and perfecting details we have what we need and next Tuesday, April 6th, I will be leaking a track called The Compass produced by the incredible Chapter 7 with accompanying art design AND video by the big homie from the UK, Oliver Cartwright. Here are a few images I pulled from his site to show you what the fuck I’m talkin’ ’bout. Please do yourself a favor and visit his website. It’s completely worth every minute you spend there clicking around.
