This past weekend I spent two days at Terrordome Studios with the legendary DJ Johnny Juice from Public Enemy. Juice is the executive producer on my new album- Family First and is overseeing all production as well as adding his turntable wizardry and mixing the project.

The album features guest vocals and production by such legendary underground emcees as Ill Bill, Apathy, Esoteric, Blueprint, J-Live and more!

Check out this behind the scenes video of Juice working on scratches for a new track.

You can still pre-order a copy of the new cd directly from me HERE! Each cd comes autographed with FRE shipping.

I could on and on about what a fan I am of both artists but most of you already know that. Let me just say I love my job and I thank HIPHOP for the opportunities it has provided me.

T-shirts and merch coming soon!

A Rule to Live By!

The following sign is a favorite of mine. It is located in my local park where certain activities are sometimes known to take place. It’s a shame in this day and age that this has to be said…but it does. This is a public park, shared by all, including families. Unfortunately we live in a selfish society where everyone thinks the world revolves around them and that they have the right to do whatever they want, wherever they want. I can go on a thousand plus word rant, but I will spare you all my old-man diatribe.

New KRS-One B.D.P. album cover art and design by yours truly.

I recently illustrated and designed the album art for the new KRS-One/B.D.P. album which is produced entirely by Kenny Parker. If you know me, you know I am a huge KRS-One fan and he is the reason I emcee, so this was a pretty big deal. Check it out and get your copy directly from the label HERE!

Original ComiCONN “Live-Art” Paintings for Sale!

adamwallenta — Sat, 07 Jan 2012 00:43:55 +0000

This past summer I was a guest at the second annual ComiCONN and I did some freestyle “live-art” paintings. I had no idea what I was going to end up painting when I got to the show, I just let the paint flow and enjoyed the company and conversation of all the amazing fans who attended and braved the hurricane to celebrate our love for comic books.

The painting actually consists of four separate canvases and if you can’t tell by the photos they are pretty large. Each painting exists on its own or they can be viewed as a collection. Unfortunately my studio is pretty small and I have limited space to give these paintings the proper love they deserve. So each piece is currently for sale and looking for a loving home.

If anyone out there is interested in owning an original piece by me, drop me a line.

If you are interested in owning one of these canvases, drop me a line. First come, first serve.

I love getting messy with the paint...

As we begin a new year I just wanted to send love out to all of the old friends as well as the new ones. I hope this finds you all happy and healthy.

Here’s a remix of my track Old Friends off of my Feel Good Remixes album produced by DJ Johnny Juice. Old Friends was originally produced by J.J. Brown and appeared on Feel Good Music. You can get both versions on iTunes.

New ILLUS Interview with Praverb

adamwallenta — Sat, 24 Dec 2011 17:15:37 +0000

Sorry I haven’t updated the blog in a bit. I’ve been quite busy with freelance work and putting the finishing touches on the new album Family First. I had hoped to have it done and shipped out to all of the supporters in December but I have a couple more tracks to finish and some mixing and mastering. SO if all goes well it should be done late January.

In the meantime I have a brand new interview with Praverb and you can read it HERE.

I promise more updates soon.

Enjoy!
