In support of my new album “FAMILY FIRST” I put together this little DIY video to share with all of you. It features a lot of very personal experiences and imagery and I hope you enjoy it. If you do, please be sure to “like” the video on Youtube and leave a positive comment. We have 9 days left to meet our KICKSTARTER goal so please make sure to make your pledge today to get an autographed copy of “FAMILY FIRST”.
“The Gift” features Blueprint, Ill Bill and DJ Johnny Juice discussing what “Family First” means to them. It is a love letter to my son, my family and the universal HIPHOP family. I shot and edited this with help from my wife, learning Adobe Premier and After Effects as I went, so I could share these very special moments in our lives with all of you. This isn’t your typical HIPHOP song, nor is it meant to be a “hit” or a “banger”. It’s simply an incredible beat produced by DJ Johnny Juice and some honest, heart felt words by some very talented artists and a message to my son that I hope he will appreciate later in life.
Here’s a trailer for a brand new video we are hard at work on. BLUEPRINT from Rhymesayers produces and guest stars on this extraordinary track off my “FAMILY FIRST” album dropping everywhere May 29th! Make a pledge on KICKSTARTER to get your copy.
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 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.

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!
My good friend Phon-X from Regenerated Headpiece blessed me with a lovely remix of THE MASK so I had to shoot some new scenes and add some deleted footage to create an all new experience. Please be sure to watch it all the way through to see all of the new material. It’s very important to “like” the video on Youtube and leave positive comments. The more views we get the better so please RT and Re-Post and help spread the word.
The new scenes in the Remix video were edited by myself and Nick Scalia for NRS Film
I’ll keep this simple and short. This is for all of the fans, family and supporters that have been supporting my projects. I really appreciate all of you. Please spread the word and tell all of your people to support this project. If you want to make a donation- awesome, if not, no worries. This is for all of you!
My good friend and legendary producer, DJ Johnny Juice has completely remixed my album- Feel Good Music. He took a body of work I was already very proud of and transformed it into an entirely new and fresh production, enhancing all of the heart, passion and soul I feel I poured into the lyrics. I’m extremely excited to share this with all of you and I hope you all enjoy it.
Peace!
ILLUS

After many long hours of learning how to edit I have finally completed the debut video off of my new album FOR ADAM called BRIGHTER DAY (thanks to the help of a lot of super talented people including John Morse, Nick Salia and Dave Brown). This track features legendary Juice Crew All Star- Craig G, Reef the Lost Cauze and Block McCloud and was produced by J.J. Brown.
FOR ADAM will be available digitally on iTunes and everywhere good music is sold and bootlegged on July 26th. You can also order a limited edition autographed physical copy directly from me at my .
Please make sure to “like” the video on YouTube as well as on all of the blogs that post it up and please leave as much positive feedback as possible. There are a lot of “haters” out there who are very vocal and love to leave negative feedback so we really need to make sure our voices are louder so we can make this project a success.
