It was all a dream...

EVEN WHEN I LIE (Download)

13 years... 13 years into this local rap shit and another (i honestly don't even know what # this one is, I'm thinking 15) CD is done. Funny to think I'm still doing this. Writing & recording songs, even if only for myself. I love this. I mean like I truly love this shit. When I was young I had dreams of fame & fortune, bitches & money, fireworks and bright lights. I thought that was the ultimate goal, the end game. Over the years, I've accomplished recognition amongst my peers and my community, I've made a few bucks (luckily, God blessed me with opportunities to make money so that I didn't HAVE to have financial gain as my reasoning & main motivation for making my music). I've had my share of women, and the fireworks & bright lights.... that came as well (how do you think I attracted the women? with my looks!? Ha!).

I'm happy. 13 years later, I know who I am, as a person and as an artist, and I can honestly say I'm happy. I'm living a dream that I never imagined, and I'm doing it on my own terms, and in my own way. I'm so glad to say... I'm finally happy.

This album is reflection of my life at this moment in time. Dark, Fast, Beautiful, and most importantly, TRULY ME. Long gone are the days of making music that I THOUGHT was cool (the bloody, violent, horror-core rap that a young James Storlie thought was the only way a white boy could do this shit in a pre-Eminem rap world). My life now, as a 30 year old kid (i say kid, cuz I'm still the same childish boy I always have been, and hope to always remain) is an interesting one. If you know me, and know about my lifestyle, you know what I mean. I live my life to the absolute fullest (sometimes at my own peril) and this album represents that. The drugs, the drinks, the women, the laughs, the highs, as well as the lows. This is my life in music form. This is me, for better or for worse. The title is called Even When I Lie, but I can assure you, this is based on a true story. Welcome to The Tubby Show. Enjoy.

Thank you to everyone who downloads my music, who reads my blogs, who laughs at my stupid jokes, and who supports me doing what I love. I truly am more appreciative than you will ever truly know.

~ James.

First 48

(48 hours away...)

Had a fun weekend (i know it's Wednesday, but I needed a couple days of "me" time) in Anchorage. Wrapped up the album, partied with some homies (Heavy Chevy/Patron BoyZ) and almost died on the 6 hour drive home (partied so hard, i literally fell asleep @ the wheel and flew off the road @ 4am in the middle of nowhere! Probably one of the scariest moments of my life).

And now we are 2 days away & I will be honest. The album isn't 100% done. There's still some minor tweaking & adjustments to be made. However, sometime on Friday (I don't know exactly what time, but sometime ON FRIDAY), the album will be up & available and it's gonna be the best rap album in Alaska (or atleast in THIS guy's opinion)!!!!

Again, like i've said before, I'm so excited for y'all to finally hear what I've been working on since January. I'm confident you will enjoy what I have to offer. It's gonna be glorious!!!

In 48 hours...

Refresh.

Shaved. Showered. Ate Golden Corral. Pooped, and now back to the lab & back to business with the click I break bread with....

7 days left! "Even When I Lie"

No Rest 4 The Wicked (7)

So, it's 9am. I'm still @ the studio. Showed up yesterday around 6. I think I fell asleep for a couple hours @ my desk around 5 while working on the website, wrapping Even When I Lie, as well as a few other small side projects. I turned on Social Network for some background noise & motivation. I didn't survive long enough to the end.

Even When I Lie is gonna be so fun to download when it's released. Not only are there 10 songs from the album (it's such a solid album too, sonically & technically.) but there will be other little 'treats' that I've added as well. Should be exciting to hear the response & see how this new idea resonates with the masses. I'm definitely very very proud of this project. People who enjoy my music will love this album as well. I'm very confident in saying that.

I'll be finishing up the album 2nite and tomorrow with Raw. Got some homies arriving into Anchorage 2nite so hopefully I can get everything done before they arrive.

I'll also be touching up the site more. Got a new page started last night. It's not finished but it will be soon, along with Skitzo's page. Hopefully by the end of the weekend the site will be completely updated.

Got a lot done yesterday. Hope to get more done today... I'ma go get me a coffee.

7 days left. On my grind. Doing what I love.
