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!

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’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.”

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.
What’s up, all? I hope this finds everyone doing well, and that you are all happy and healthy.

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.

The official Beautiful Day music video is finally here! The video was shot and edited by the super talented director Jules Fox, on location in Hawaii. What better place to shoot a video for a song called “Beautiful Day”?

Make sure to order your copy of the limited edition cd HERE and get an autographed copy with a FREE bonus cd and FREE shipping worldwide. Feel Good Music is also available on ITUNES!

I recently conducted an interview with REC Magazine (Rap, Engage, Conscient) and it was a real pleasure. They are the first magazine to ask me about my love for gardening. Never thought a HipHop magazine would find that interesting. Check out the interview here.
Being independent is a lot of hard work, but it’s a great feeling to find out that the good people of France have heard my new album- FEEL GOOD MUSIC and are digging it. I’ve been wanting to travel to France for years and never had the opportunity. Hopefully I will be rocking shows over there soon.
