I recently did the illustration and design work for the new Bumpy Knuckles and DJ Premier collaboration called the KoleXXXion. Check it out and order your copy HERE!

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!

Salute!

I am putting the finishing touches on my new album- FAMILY FIRST and I need your support to help bring this project to life.

My goal is to raise $1,000.00 through KICKSTARTER to master the new album, press up cds and ship them out to all of you.

This is a one of a kind project where the featured guest emcees are also the producers of the track they collaborate with me on. Example- the legendary ILL BILL produced and rhymed on the title track- Family First. Apathy produced and rhymed on the track Forever….I thought this was a great idea to show how super talented these emcees are, not only on the mic but on the beats as well. There has never been an album quite like this one.

The album is also being overseen and executive produced by DJ Johnny Juice from Public Enemy. Juice is also adding hit master scratches to many of the tracks and is recording the majority of my vocals for me and of course mixing it. So you know this will be dope and of the highest quality possible.

I am still in the process of recording the album and will be finishing it up in October.

So far the album features production and guest verses by some of the best and most talented artists in the industry, including- Ill Bill, Apathy, Blueprint, J-Live and Erin Barra with more to be announced in the coming weeks.

Think of this as an opportunity to pre-order my new album. Everyone that makes a pledge will get an autographed copy of the new cd and the more you pledge the more you will get. Check the rewards section for all the details.

Earlier this year we brought to life my album- For Adam, thanks to all of your support on Kickstarter. I’m hoping we can do it again this time around.

Please make your pledge today and help spread the word. Just click HERE for all of the details.

Peace!
