New sound, new style, still the same loser.

Truck Fump

At this point, my StarChasers are all I got.
I do plan to get the SP404.
As well as a guitar, bass and performance keyboard.

In the meantime, Trump is making it difficult for me to get my benefits. As in, I no longer receive them. The reason? I didn't "re-certify" in time. The deadline was April 30th. I submitted it (the recertification) on April 30th. 

Niggas is being assholes, really.
Not about the GoFundMe, tho...

I plan to get my own Stratocaster (Fender), a drum machine (Roland SP-404), some posters, clothes, and with whatever is left, get some food.

Thank you, #CreaturesOfTheNight.
And thank you in advanced for donating.

Out From Under







I promise you. I'm trying to lay low until I have the nuke loaded and ready to launch. But life be life-in', b. It's hard to not blog. Especially when it is dead ass AN OCCUPATION. Like, I'm a certified, legitimate blogger. 

Best Blogger Alive
Last Blogger Standing

On LinkedIn, I'm registered as a BLOGGER.

In fact, I use "blogger" as an official title to describe who I am (with my fingertips).

Pianist, beatmaker, composer, producer, EXECUTIVE producer, session musician (drums, guitar, bass), DJ, as well as journalist and advocate/ambassador for/representative of The Green Party (as you can see, weed is legal in the big cities).

A lot of stuff is going on in my life. Trump is responsible for some of this shit. I just can't bring myself to hate him. He's really just a confused New Yorker in The White House. With that said, this bitch ass nigga cut my food stamps! AND NOW I GOTTA GET A JOB!!! 

I AM A FULL TIME MUSICIAN!!!!!, with bad anxiety and a schizophrenia diagnosis. I will do HORRIBLE in the workplace. Not only that, my "normal" self is when I'm in a controlled environment making music. I'm not gonna be able to make as much music if I get a job. To add, I'm a public figure. Any "StarChaser" seeing me at a 9-5 would make fun, and I'd be viral for the wrong reason.

Fuck that shit.

Now. As a musician, I am able to rock with any instrument (provided I get the time to figure it out, eg. the harp and violin, of which I can play). And my musicianship enhances my sampling. But I'm only used to software when it comes to sampling. I HAVE used an MPC. 500, 2000XL, 3000, ...and I have an MPK controller.

But I want to take it to the next level.

Instead of getting a new turntable deck, I'm gonna jump RIGHT in The In-Crowd (I see you Gths!!!!!!!!!!) and pick up a Roland SP-404. A lot of my favorite undergrounders use it, and I can see me making some shit with it. So, stay tuned!!!

I would get the Korg K-oss, but that's TOO next level.




AIGHT.
back into custody (#Conviction, coming soon)

Currently in hibernation...

 I like it here.



...but eventually I have to wake up. Eventually, I have to GET up.

Thankfully, I'm ready.

New music/announcements soon come.




#reborn

Like I always do at this time...

For starters, this year is starting off GREAT professionally. Many opportunities, many promises, ...all toward the goal of making a living from music. 

I now have to take time and decide what's best for me.

The podcast is going well. Enjetic was in a car accident, so the show is on hold until he feels up to it again. 3rd Eye Magic is being spearheaded by CYoung, and I have the utmost faith and trust in his business acumen.

Where am I with everything?

Well... My faith in God/The Lord has been restored. 
God/The Lord told me to take a LONG, DEEP listen to Infinite Psalms and to take it serious. I did, and I now believe that when I am with God/The Lord, I'm unstoppable.

What does that mean for Goths?
I welcome you to discover God for yourself. You're already forgiven for WHATEVER sin you committed. You just gotta pick up your cross and follow him. I know, I know. I don't follow anyone, so why God? 
Because everything you know about good AND evil comes from God.

Argument over.

I am making music, but I'm at a crossroads. My comfort zone is self-depreciation. I'm not comfortable being a boss. I'm working on redefining what it means to be a boss. Also, bear in mind that this is YEAR 20!!!!! of me making music. 

I'm taking it light this year. Besides, you have over 400+ BRAND NEW CH songs and instrumentals. Visit the website (click here.)

With the above being said, I'm going off the grid for a bit. If you know how to reach me, dooit. But I gotta take time to prioritize, and I don't want to jinx things by speaking ahead of the divine schedule.



I'll be around.






#reborn.

I N V U

I don't know what I would do without you. yet you're so common. So down to Earth. It's unbelievable. You know and break down things before they surface. Basically, you know what the fucking deal is with me.

I am a conflicted Goth.

Because of you, I believe in God. Because of God, I believe in YOU. You are my sin. You are my redemption. Harlem is unprepared for how down I am for you (can you dig it?). But they would understand.


That shit still in HARLEM.


I cannot betray you. I'm hurt that such is what you expect from me. I would STARVE for your approval. It's not in me to cross you. I work TOO HARD to be another scammer. 

Does my output offend you? I'm trying to REDEEM music... with songs that are my THEME music. I won't lie, sometimes you can be a handful. But I know you, and I know you don't mean harm. 

If only you saw yourself through my eyes. Felt yourself with my heart. Heard yourself with my ears.

You met a monster. You created a BEAST. And my loyalty to you is the only chink in my armor.

I heard it's the same thing for you, too.




We gon make it...



On the horn with CYoung and StarChaser Andrew Howe.

Mike's rap


 I spoke with Mike Dee Jackson (StarChaser Central Podcast) not too long ago. Great conversation, as always. Shouts to Stik. But yeah, anyway, he was telling me a story and... I swear I could SEE him telling the story. So I let him finish his story (respectfully), then I asked him if he had any music videos for his songs. He said he did, and emailed me his YouTube channel.

On it, I found a joint he did over a Sha-leik, Sade flip. The song is good, but his motions in the video drive the point home. You can see that he is being vulnerable, but he's keeping it hip-hop. I love the video. I may make some videos like this.

Oh, to be inspired by a StarChaser.


And we freestyled over the phone. Lol writer's block, gone.





#reborn

An innocent devil.

I do not claim allegiance to either of the primary street gangs. I am also not affiliated with Latin, Caribbean and White gangs. Still, I maintain a persona (if you will) that enables me to converse with either side, without the fear of treason. I know when I'm getting in too deep.

Though I do NOT align myself with Bloods, Crips, etc. ..., I have ties to them. On a deep scale. Like, I know your OGs. I also know that there is a HUGE shakedown going on, and some of my closest friends are facing A LOT of time in prison. I feel for them. But I would be foolish to involve myself. All I can do is hope my prayers get heard.

I probably should've saved this post for the Columbine Gang blog. Still, I just want the streets to know I love it, despite how low I lay and how peaceful I carry myself. However, this does not mean you can walk all over me. I show the utmost respect to the streets. So if I open my door to you, I expect the same.

Neither of us want to get violent over any issue.

In the meantime, I pray for all the Gs and OGs, in every hood. We have more in common than one would think...



Goths are Gs, too.

Lavalamps in black


 Let me start by saying, I'm not mad at the review. Stik and Mike made good points about the highs and lows about the album. What I CAN say is, those who were involved for The PINK Lavalamp weren't around fr The Black ..., but they were still addressed.

I feel that "One Night Affair" was me stepping out of my comfort zone and actually trying to song. If you don't like the singing, that's on you. Technically on me, but I didn't hit a bad note. But yes. The lady of whom "Come Back To You" and "Latte" were about is now the lead love interest, with Toya being the mistress to MUSIC. There are a lot of references to my 2012 music, as well as foreshadowing and choosing an alternate ending for what has become known as #TheLavalampEra.

Making this album was fairly easy. I used beats from the folder I made TPL (Pink) with. It was a matter of continuing the story, FOR the perspective of the woman who was in my life AT THAT TIME (the making of The BLACK Lavalamp). It's all pretty confusing, but listen to both Pink and Black and I'm sure you'll be able to piece it all together.

A lot to do today. BBL (be back later).

A Good Thing 0fficial lyrics



(verse 1)
Bring it right back, while I drink a nightcap. I'm a genius. Like that. Too high to see it? My fault. My bad. My apology. Time to body me. They fear what they don't understand. Take you here or there. I'm under your hands. Like a handcuff. Around the back. Ball a fist. You can't do shit. Stand up. Down is that. I be that. I'm on some real shit. A problem to deal with. My honesty, killing. I gotta love it. I gotta hate it. Because it's taking lives, and I'm above the pavement.

(hook)
I can't complain.
I feel this way.
Goin' against the grain?
Feel this way:
I need a reprise.
I need the darkness to rise to my face.

I need a reprise, y'all

(verse 2)
I smoke enough for everybody. "Open up! I got a shottie!" Knock-knock. Yeah. YOU, Thottie. I'm waiting for you to touch my body. Make me feel special with the love that I been giving, especially because I been giving it so freely. Women wanna be me. Look at these short hair chicks tryna stare at the dick. I don't care for shit. Share some chips. My therapist, pissed. I don't need her but I love her. Not a skeezer, but I'll fuck her. One of these days, she'll see me as a brother that needs to be a lover to she. Until then, I'm a client. It don't take much but real thoughts to get inside of it.

(hook)
I can't complain.
I feel this way.
Goin' against the grain?
Feel this way:
I need a reprise.
I need the darkness to rise to my face.

I need a reprise, y'all

(verse 3)
Socially, I'm a mixture of Rosa Parks and Owen Hart. Flow from the heart. Flow is sharp. Slit your wrist with it. Mind your business, kid. Still I'm so sick with it. Anybody got a problem with me? Let me know now. 'Cause it goes down. Every round that I go. And I don't ever go around, so... I throw my weight around, though. Get down. It's The Down Show. Those that are depressed are deep in the black. Realize the reason that the creature is back, is saving YOU. And keeping the black to myself. That oughta help. If not, I died in the name of Hip-Hop. I got it. The name of Hip Hop is shot!

(hook)
I can't complain.
I feel this way.
Goin' against the grain?
Feel this way:
I need a reprise.
I need the darkness to rise to my face.

I need a reprise, y'all
