So just about an hour ago I was walking down the street with the folks in Korea Town in LA when I decided to check my twitter. I had a reply from the homie Ant sayin' "congrats". I asked him to clarify and... BAM !!!
SFBG Best of the Bay 2009 Readers Poll Winners: Best Hip Hop Act Trackademicks
Thanks for all the readers who voted for your boy!!!
For those who know me know that Teedra has been a one of my FAVORITES for a loooooong @$$ time. So much that I've remixed her a few times...
Its no secret to anyone that her debut record Complex Simplicity was my favorite record of 2004. It was the soundtrack to more than a couple complex "situations" I had.
Fast Forward. It's 2009. A second official release from Teedra is way overdue. And somehow, I'm directly involved with the process.
Coincidence? I don't believe in coincidence. I believe that everything happens for a reason, whatever that reason may be.
So far, we have a few songs in the making, including one for my upcoming project, State of the Arts.
There isn't too much to say about "Everybody Rock!" that isn't already said.
Spin Earth Got a chance to catch up with me on A-Trak's 10,000 lb Hamburger Tour in San Francisco... They caught me on a good day, pretty informative, hahahaha. Check it out!
I used to slap this in high school. That night time, warm weather, breezy slap... Voodoo, Mean Green, Mykill Myers, Ras Kass, the whole Western Hemisfear crew... I one of the members of Hollyweerd has ties to this lineage...
I'll be sharing the stage with the homies A-Trak and Treasure Fingers, and Theophilus London. Like D and Ray said (not to be confused with him)... You should be here.
