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.

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

January 7, 2012

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!

Boogie Down Productions!

September 25, 2011

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!

ILLUS: Sons and Daughters featuring Eternia, Wordsworth and Erin Barra

August 2, 2011

Featuring Eternia, Wordsworth and Erin Barra

Sons and Daughters

Produced by J.J. Brown

Liner Notes

“I’m tired of emcees rapping about how their neighborhoods are terrible and yet they love living in these conditions and making it seem as if everyone that lives there is only a drug dealer, an addict or a criminal. That’s nonsense that racist corporate America and the media want to continually perpetuate and that’s why they spend a lot more money selling us negative imagery rather than investing in the positive. Even in the poorest and most downtrodden neighborhoods, there are good people, hard working parents and families who do everything possible to provide for their children and be positive role models without submitting to crime or illegal acts. This song celebrates those mothers and fathers that do just that, work hard and provide for their families and set positive examples for their sons and daughters so they can grow into adults themselves and pass along those values, ethics, traditions and positive vibes. There is a lot of negative imagery in HIPHOP but the reality is it is a positive culture with a lot of love, passion, heart and soul, and we need to portray that more.”

Get Sons and Daughters on the new Illus album- FOR ADAM available on iTunes and everywhere digital music is sold. Get autographed, limited edition cds at the official ILLUS STORE.

It’s Not Easy Being An Action Hero

October 12, 2010

We’ve finally wrapped shooting our new video! There may be a couple of pick-up shots down the road, but for now it appears we have done all we can. It’s been a great experience and if we had more resources and time I am sure we would have done even more, but trust me when I say, this is going to be a GREAT video.

I’ve definitely gained a whole new appreciation for what professional actors and actresses are capable of, especially action heros and people who do physical comedy. I also realized I need to really start exercising more. Haha.

Stay tuned! More stills and video to come. And don’t forget to subscribe to this blog and keep spreading the word about my new album.

Peace and Love!
