The Prelude Track by Track Breakdown pt 1
The Breakdown Begins
OK OK OK so as everybody knows by now i really suck at keeping up with my blog.(Actually nobody knows because I've never promoted my blog, because i know I'm infrequent with the updates) Its not my fault people, my intentions are good. Regardless a few months back i promised a detailed track by track breakdown of my CD The Prelude:This is Not A Mixtape. I'm glad to say that at long last it is here!!! The first breakdown WILL be posted tonight.
For Those of you not familiar with the project and too impatient to wait and collect it track by track, you can download the CD here:
The Prelude:This is Not A Mixtape
This project really meant a lot to me personally as well as my career, it was my first "official" release so to speak although i wouldn't DARE call it a debut hence the title "The Prelude"! I started out just wanted to prove to the world that i could spit! Then it grew into me wanting the world to see things how i see them so to speak.This project was kinda like a trailer for the main attraction. I feel that this gives people a great feel for me as an MC and leaves a lot of room for curiosity as i intentionally didn't include certain topics and song types. ( I Love when they tell me shit like i cant make music for the girls, not knowing whats sitting in the stash) Shout out to my man Analogy for doing everything that needed to be done to make this project a success as well as everybody who participated in the creation, and cultivation of this CD. I hope you enjoy and listen with an open mind, and check back for the track by track breakdown, there are some interesting stories behind these songs TRUST ME.
For the record, and I'm not taking any shots at anyone but this CD was released a year ago, and at the time i hadn't heard not 1 prelude, or any titles similar to my choosing. However since then I've seen several preludes and several mixtapes that "weren't mixtapes"! I'm far from egotistical enough to imply that these people are biting my shit, but i have absolutely no problem pointing out yet another example of me being a little ahead of the curve (time to get my shit out so the public can notice too)!

Tru Life Facing 1st Degree Murder Charges
Whenever i think about Tru Life i think about a dude with a ton of unfulfilled potential. Unlike a lot of people i like Tru as an mc, and i felt with the right marketing he could probably do big things. However long before this latest run in with the law he has always had a problem leaving the streets behind him. Last night Tru turned himself in to the NYPD and is facing possible 1st degree murder charges. Hold ya head Tru

Styles P @ Brooklyn Hip Hop Festival
I'm still pissed off that i had to miss this years Brooklyn Hip-Hop Festival, and the more videos i find online the more it reinforces my feeling of missing out. Anyway at least in the internet age i can live vicariously through those who were there!!! check out this vid of Styles P ripping it down.

AZ - Refuse 2 Die
Im not doing this blog thing to be mr exclusive or anything like that. All i want to do is express myself and show support to the artists that have an influence on my career. With that being said nahright posted this new AZ song a few days ago. Sosa is and always has been one of my favorite mcs and someone who i feel is underrated in the rap game. This song is a banger and has given me something to look foward to with the eminent release of his next project.
Enjoy
