Untitled (Speechless)

At times, finding the right words can be difficult. For me, this was one of those times...

In rap, a lot of the times, the topic of love can be awkward or taboo. God forbid, we find love, whether romantic or just the love for someone you admire in whatever way, and glamorize it in our music the way we boast about fucking random girls, selling drugs, doing hoodrat stuff with our friends, which don't get me wrong, I've enjoyed all of the above and have made many songs about those specific topics, but to make rap music about not just being in love, but songs about admiration & love for another individual, that's not as easy... not as "cool". *shrug*

This is the greatest gift I've ever received in my life. The woman I consider to be the closest person to me in life, the woman who literally (physically) saved my life a year ago, the woman who knows me more than anyone, a woman who knows I don't like receiving presents (material objects purchased as a sign of affection) but value art, whether professional or unintentional, a woman who knows my love for songwriting, decided, for my birthday, she was going to give me something I would never expect but would greatly appreciate for the rest of my life... A song.

She was smart about it, too. She knows how I feel about rap (I'm a hip hop snob). I don't want to hear my girl (who isn't a rapper) spit bars. Sorry, that'd just be awkward. Instead of doing something she has no experience in, she reached out to two men who knew how to kick a rhyme or two, who happened to also be very close to me (Lamar/Fleetwood and Keezy) and with the coaching and sonic assistance by my longtime collaborator and mentor, Raw Beatzz, the end result is something so special to me, I will spend the rest of my life, enjoying. A gift that will truly keep on giving, as long as I don't lose my hearing, ha. I'm honored to share with you, my birthday gift from Janie Ma, Lamar Beckley (Fleetwood Malone), Keon McMillan (Keezy of The Sky Division) and Mr.Ashley Bell (Raw Beatzz)... This is "Til The End". 

I'm truly blessed. Enjoy.

3rd time's a charm.

It's been a minute, yes? Ha.

I've been on a mental hiatus, I apologize. Had some much needed "me" time. After recording & putting out 2 EP's in a relatively close amount of time, I had to turn off the beats, just enjoy my smoke and kick back for a second (Hawaii was unforgettable). Basically just live life. The easiest way to write music: live your life. However, I felt like there was a missing piece. With "Waikiki" (something I truly made off the fly, inspired by the Hawaii trip, obvi) & a couple other song ideas in mind, I figured there needs to be a 3rd chapter to this series ("WDKY" & "#ScarfaceTubby" are basically the same album, the cohesiveness is apparent. To me, at least) and one morning while stoned, riding shotgun with my boy Z behind the wheel, I looked down @ my hand and saw the words "Death Is Promised" - Done deal. 

Today I begin mapping out what will be a 5-7 song project. I'm listening to beats as we speak & life has brought me plenty more material, ha. I'll have something for you in the next couple weeks. That's if I don't smoke myself into a coma. It's known to happen. I'll holla, though... 

"I earned this life..."

Aloha

"...yeah, I've earned this life,

I deserve paradise,

I'm so done with the strife,

I deserve these 5 stars,

yeah, I've earned these stripes, 

I'm paying for my wrongs,

as I'm trying to live right."

"Back to work, but we still smell like a vacation...."

Aloha. 

The World Is Yours (Okaaaaaay, i relooooooooaded!)

 

I just went on a long ass "Scarface Tubby" album rant on twitter so I'm spent, but here you go. I think Tony would be proud, ha. Enjoy.

Hmmm...

The Question is: Is this real?


Via Nahright:
So what do we have here? This appeared on the internet at some point during the weekend and there has been a lively debate about whether or not it is in fact a new (or previously unreleased) collaboration between Jay and Daft Punk since. It certainly sounds like it could be an actual Daft Punk track, but it also kind of sounds like what somebody would make if they were trying to make a fake Daft Punk track. One thing is for sure, I don’t recognize that Jay verse. The person who started this Reddit thread say some of the synths sound like they could have been pulled from “Son of Flynn”, a cut from the Daft Punk produced score for the film TRON: Legacy, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that it wasn’t composed by a third party. And again, what’s the origin of that Jay verse? Listen and judge for yourself.
