Damn it, I'm tired. And even in this desolate time of fatigue, I knocked out a 17-track LP over the span of 2 days. Maybe not a personal best, but the album is. Can't wait for you to hear.
I been toying with the following idea: select the finest 2012 lo-fi, MPC-produced tracks and re-record them with... less jarring equipment. "Ugly Des...", "Dragonfly Des...", "Chinese Laundry", and ...maybe a few other joints. But those 3 ALBUMS (I know; free, lo-fi, unwritten = mixtape... blahblahblah) were SPECIFICALLY produced with Gadget, my now-deceased MPC 500. In 2012, A BUNCH of niggas started using the MPC, strictly off the motivation/inspiration of one J Dilla (Deezy, what up!!!!) and his much-sought-after technique. If you knew, you knew. If you know, you know.
But what you MIGHT not know is, I'm PISSED.
Me, DOOM, Dilla and Madlib (Spitso, what up!!!!) are THEE most jacked artists in hip-hop, and we don't get acknowledged until... it's too late.
But alas, let me get hunble.
Until y'all PROVE that the bitemarks on my behind don't belong to EVERY MOLAR in hip-hop.
Whatever generation.
Back to the project.
I'm in a secure location (no beef or drama impacting the art), I'm at my best with singing (these days, at least) and I am confident in my rhyme of passion. It's about finding the best SONGS to do over. Some of those songs ONLY WORKED because I was in Boe's apartment (I see you, Jack; wake up). And Christina (Shoom) was there to offset them (the misguided rage of the lyrical content).
And... (wipes dry tear from eye)... Harlem was down for the ride.
I'll never get over how many Harlem StarChasers I have. It kinda is best that y'all lay low, because I still don't know who I'm supposed to be in/to Harlem. Other than the Greater Refuge Temple organist and Grant Projects Battle Rapper. In fact, I got Gadget from a Harlem StarChaser.
Before I forget, shouts to my Bronx massive Chimp1 and Uptown Dalv. They showed HELLA love in the 2012-14 era of CH Terrorism. They still do, I just... I don't wanna put out any fires that don't need to be there. StarChasers, in order to separate yourselves from #thewolfpack (mainstream consumers), you/we MUST get along. With that said, shouts to Delaware's Illest Mike Dee Jackson and The Virginia Tower, Brandon "Stik" Braxton. Shame that the podcast is gone, but who knows? Maybe I'll shock the world again and get a reboot!

Here's a record I been talkin about since I made it. Consider it sincere sinning. Shouts to David Barajas.
You're doing big things! Believe!!!
