Wow, life, wow.

SO, whats it been...almost 2weeks since my last post? And COTDAMN! What a ride it has been. In that short lil span of time, my outlook on life has changed insanely so.

There was a lot of negative happening in succession. Actually, the negativity started in April of last year (on my birthday to be exact) and has been one huge continuation. I finally see a break, with that lil beam of light coming through. Ahhh. Sweet relief. Allow me to vaguely explain:

First, The Whackness:

What you're seeing is inside of my bathroom wall...my pretty pink bathroom wall, now adorned with a gaping hole. The pipe in the pic was spewing water everywhere, which was made evident by the water seeping from under the tile. After busting through the wall in a collective amateur effort to fix it, we did just that. The problem is, fixing this pipe resulted in a second pipe bursting under the house. Niagra Falls in the bitch. FML? Nah, small fries. Inconvenient, obnoxious, costly...alllladat, but somehow I don't care.


And now, The Mediocre:

I did something I have forever told myself I would never do under any circumstance. Apparently this is not a phrase to be spoken unless you've experienced every circumstance of life. Just goes to show change never stops...and I'm perfectly okay with that. While this was not a positive situation, the steps are for progress. How I handled this and react to it now tells me it was a proper decision.

Finally, The Glory:

I also found myself in another situation that, just a day prior, I vowed not to be in. Straight reneging. To say I'm "okay" with this one would be a huge understatement. I'm ecstatic for ignoring myself on this one. Honestly, I don't feel there was a choice. This is the light. I'm basking and it feels fuckin GOOD. Hmm, elusive, I know, but with some things I'd rather share the sentiment than the happenings.

What else?

Oh, I sat down and wrote lyrics last night...it's been a minute. I always love those moments when I look down and realize my hand has grabbed that pad and pen and the page is already half full. This was some much needed closure. A goodbye to the anger, hurt,  resentment and animosity. And here I thought I wasn't a dweller. Ha! Learn something new about yourself everyday.

Ooooh, just got the link for (MIXTAPE) GOTTI PRESENTS..."THE BMORE EXPERIENCE VOL.1"
The tape includes myself, Shadina, Paula Campbell, CR Da Show, Mark Milly, Cherri LaLa....and many more of Bmore finest :) ...just go download the shit!! Thanks to @cutthroatbaby for puttin it together!!

Life calls, DEUCES.

Set Ready, go.

My bro hit me off with a copy of the Gorillaz newest release, Plastic Beach. My overall thought: I'm lovin' it. I find myself going back to Superfast a lot. It's definitely catchy. I think what gets me the most, is the dramatic change between the verse and hook....I'm rockin, I'm rockin, head bobbin, then, boom! I'm chillin and smilin :) Good shit. I think I would have picked that track as the first single, but it was their second.



I know you like that shit.

Since I'm talking about the album, I'm listening to it as well. Melancholy Hill is playing right now...another favorite of mine. Actually, this is an album I could say many times over "ooh I like this track..."

Alright, you get it, so get it.

And while you're out there supporting the arts, take a moment to stop by Deuce Day World and pledge a little support of the monetary sort while thefiveone spreads their word on the road to SXSW. They'll be performing with Bomani Armah on Wednesday, March 17 at 12:00 AM at Opal Divine's Freehouse and again on Saturday, March 20 at 12:00 AM at Victory Grill. Anyway, buy the guys some lunch or something! I've said it before, there's nothing worse than a starving artist who's starving.


Speaking of...my tummys-a-rumblin. PEACE.

That is all.

Oldies but goodies...cliche, I know.

I'm just feelin like showin off a few works I've done in the past, and I'll tell you why I picked the ones I'm posting.

Soooo...here ya go:

This one's easy. I love this flyer cuz...well I'm on it (DUH) and it was for a 420 party. What's better than that?? It also holds memories: This was the first night I really really chilled with COMP (bangarang) and found out just how chill and genius that man is. The crew, my bro n his people, COMP n crew and some smuts followed up the night with an after party at my spot on Brewers Hill...I think every room in my house was christened by party goers that night. High times are great times.

I like this cover because it was one of the first I did for an artist outside of the label. TX said I made him look like an R&B singer, ha! A simple design where the pic does most the work is always nice.


Now, this one I actually think is sort of crappy...I just love it because that's my brother duct taped and tied up in the background. During that album shoot we ordered pizza and the delivery guy walked in to see him and the girl tied up, an "AK" (it was a BB gun) on the table next to more rope and tape, a bag of coke, a few bags of weed, and a room full of our artists...amongst other suspect things. That mother fucker backed out of the house with the most terrified look on his face. I really thought he was gonna piss himself then call the cops.


This flyer was sort of experimental. I had to do 2 versions because originally Boss wasn't on the bill. This was just a fun ass night. Accordingly, I fell this night...I do not recall. All I know is once I was off stage and upstairs, the drinks just kept being put in my hand. The jukebox in VIP didn't have any hip-hop in it, but we still got it in on top of the pool table to some country music. (We were dancing, you pervs.)

Now, this album cover I LOVE. This one really appeals to me when I look at it. There's also a bit of a personal preference considering the production I put into the album itself. This is also KAGE's last release so it holds a lot of meaning. (R.I.P. KAGE)


This flyer was a pain in my ASS!!! Of course, tha t's the reason why it made the list. Every one of the beads of water were done individually. Ay ay ay. I'm also a fan of the pumpkin carvings. *Mad Props To Me* LMAO!!I also went to this event. I spent most of my time on the second floor drawing all over the marker wall and trying to get someone to go across the street and get a blunt.

Actually, I liked both sides of this flyer...so here's the back. Maybe I just like Halloween?? IDK, but Pumpkin Ravers rock. Haha!!





I just thought this one looked neat, and I'm a fan of the text at the bottom which reads: "Absolutely free. No annoying fine print...except this, but it's not annoying."

LOL, what is wrong with me??

K, PEACE!
