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!

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!

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!

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
You can buy your copy of THE MASK on iTUNES
Peace!
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!

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!
My crew and I just finished day 3 and 4 of shooting our new music video. We shot a badass fight scene in Middletown, CT, where most of us received some real injuries due to the fact that we are by no means real fighters, and I think we all gained a lot of respect for actors who portray action heros on the regular. It’s definitely not easy work and often times not as fun as you would like to imagine. Big thanks to my boy Matt Lolli at GhostShip for taking the worst of it like a real trooper. And of course Jesse and Kevin for all of their hard work and dedication. This is going to be a great video thanks to them.
We also shot a great intro scene at may favorite comic store- Alternate Universe in Milford, CT, thanks to Erik Yacko. Make sure to check out ComiCONN as we prepare for the next big show. Big thanks to Joel, Alex, and Amanda for helping out as well.
Finally on day 4 we shot some action sequences around Shelton, CT and the fine folks over at Hebert Jewelers in Milford, CT, were kind enough to lend us their rooftop to film some scenes.
We had hoped to wrap up shooting but we still have a couple of more shots we hope to get and then the team will begin editing. Stay tuned, we plan on having this done in December. In the meantime please make sure to get your copy of the new album on ITUNES or get the limited edition cd directly from me HERE. I’m offering a FREE bonus cd as well as FREE shipping worldwide. So don’t miss out! These cd’s are extremely limited.
As mentioned last week, I recently illustrated some art for one of my favorite emcees; J-Live. J had a very specific vision of what he wanted and I was honored to contribute to the project and work with the super talented designer Collin Badger from Freshrr Designs. Here’s a first look at J-Live’s Undivided Attention EP, dropping November 4th. This is the precursor to the full-length album- S.P.T.A. (Said Person Of That Ability) LP (pronounced “Spitta”), dropping next year.
Both the EP and the full-length album are amazing and if you love HipHop music, you definitely need to own both of these projects. The EP has several exclusive tracks you won’t find on the full-length so definitely support this project. Stay tuned to J-Live Music for more details.
And of course I will post up the full-length album art just as soon as I can.
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!
