Family First is currently sold out but by making a pledge now you can get a copy of the limited edition release!
Both of my recent albums- “For Adam” and “Family First” were originally funded by my supporters through Kickstarter. They have since sold out and no physical copies remain. Because I get requests for copies daily, I am now offering them through Kickstarter again for a limited time. A mere $15 pledge gets you a cd of your choice or if you want both you can have them for only $25. There are many other great deals as well, just check the sidebar for details.
Just got to KICKSTARTER and make your pledge today!
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!

Tiffology from CrayonBeats.com recently interviewed me for her awesome website and we discussed my brand new album and various projects as well as a lot of other personal subject matter. Check out the interview HERE!
If you haven’t made a pledge to support my new album, please do so now. It is extremely limited and this will be the only way you can get a copy. I can’t do this without all of your support. Click HERE for all the details. It’s easy and guaranteed to delight.
I am preparing to release my brand new album, titled- FOR ADAM. I know that may sound a bit ego-centric but it is actually a dedication to Adam Walsh. If you don’t know Adam’s story, he was a young boy who was murdered in 1981. We shared a lot of similarities, including age, and as a young child, his murder had a pretty big impact on me.
Anyway…
I have been hard at work on new material since the release of Feel Good Music and it is almost complete. I am once again working with super producer, J.J. Brown, who is producing the album entirely, and I am also blessed to collaborate on numerous songs with some of the best emcees and singers in the business. I have an incredible line up of guests that includes- Freddie Foxxx, Homeboy Sandman, Craig G, Reef the Lost Cauze, Eternia, Wordsworth, Gift of Gab, Block McCloud, Paul Dateh and Erin Barra. If you are not familiar with those names, you should be.
The only way you can get a copy of the physical cd is by making a pledge to my Kickstarter project HERE. The good news is, it is cheaper than buying the cd anywhere else. A mere $10.00 pledge will get you a signed copy of the cd and it will be shipped to you worldwide for free. If you can pledge more I have a lot of great gifts and incentives to make it worth your while. Please check out the link and support your favorite hard working, independent artist.
What’s good, people? I hope this finds everyone doing well. I’ve been very busy with a lot of new projects and will try my best to keep you up to date on all of them. Sorry I am unable to blog more frquently
1. I am currently working with legendary emcee- Freddie Foxxx, aka Bumpy Knuckles, on the art for his new projects. The O.G. has been an inspiration to me for many years and it’s an honor to bring his ideas to life visually and contribute to his amazing body of work. First up is Music from the Man Volume 1, which features production exclusively by Jesse West. The album is classic and if you love underground HipHop, you need this album. Get it on ITUNES!
2. I also just finished up illustrating J-Live’s new album art. The package design will be handled by the super talented Collin Badger from Freshrr Design Studios. I haven’t seen the final product yet but I am super excited to check it out. Once I get the ok, I will post up some images for you. J has a very specific vision for his work, and I am honored to contribute to this project as well. Man, I love HIPHOP! For more info check out Freshrr. This is another classic J-Live album and a must have for any true HipHoppa.
3. I am working on a brand new song, produced by the Krate Krusaders out in the UK, for their upcoming album- This Is US. The song is almost complete but I have to re-record the intro and outro and then they have to finalize the mix. Besides contributing what is sure to be a banger, I also illustrated the cover art and I am producing a video for my track, which will be the lead single. We just wrapped up a two day shoot and we have a couple of more days of shooting before we dive into editing. Check out some stills below and get ready to have some fun.
4. I am also happy to say I am working on my first project for DC Comics. I am coloring two stories for their upcoming Halloween Special. The first story features Superman and the Demon with a load of other guests, including Batman and his many rogues. The second story features the Flash. Once I get the approval from my editors I will be sure to post up some of the work for you to check out. Hopefully this is just the beginning- keep your fingers crossed.
5. I am also working on a brand new Zombie book for SkyHorse Publishing. You can order my previous release- The Art of Zombie Warfare on Amazon. For the record- I did not illustrate that cover cover, only the interiors. The book was written by Scott Kenmore and is a great read and a must have for all zombie fans. Check out his other work as well, while you’re at it.
Finally- you may have noticed my Facebook page was disabled again. It happened a couple of months ago out of the blue and I was notified by Facebook, telling me they weren’t sure I was who I claimed to be, so they disabled me. Once I proved to them I was indeed me, they reinstated my account. I have never violated any of their rules and I am not sure why they have disabled me this time, since they have not responded to any of my inquiries at all. So please be sure to subscribe to this site so we can stay in touch. The reality is, social network sites come and go, and they cannot be trusted to be reliable. So it is better to subscribe to me directly because I can guarantee I am not going anywhere.
Peace and Love and thank you all for your support!
Don’t forget to get my new album- Feel Good Music on ITUNES or get the limited edition autographed cd with FREE bonus disc directly from me at my STORE.
I recently conducted a personal interview with Fiona Bloom for her new online series, EFFICACY. Fiona is the creator of the BLOOM EFFECT and is a promoter and all around marketing genius specializing in international marketing, events, product launches/listening parties, branding, publicity, touring, consultation and A & R. She is a legend in the music industry and all around nice person.
My interview is a little longer than the average but it also includes some treats from beginning to end, plus we all know I have a tendency to get wordy (but hopefully still entertaining and informative). I hope you will take some time to watch it and leave comments as well as support my new project- FEEL GOOD MUSIC (now available on ITUNES, AMAZON, BANDCAMP and more!)
Please help spread the word and tell everyone you know about it as well as re-tweet, re-blip, re-post, re-whatever!
