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.
I am proud to unveil the official OLD FRIENDS music video featuring one of my best friends; the super, multi-talented, singer/song-writer, violinist- Paul Dateh.

You can buy OLD FRIENDS on iTunes or get the autographed, limited edition physical cd from my personal STORE where you will also get a FREE bonus cd and FREE shipping worldwide.
The video was shot, directed and edited by John Morse of Boston Entertainment. John did an amazing job and if you are ever looking for a photographer or director I highly recommend him. I want to give a special thanks to my old friends Will and Glen Diaz for coming through and showing their support, as well as the super-talented artist/designer Matt Lolli from GhostShip Clothing for supplying me with the ill t-shirts and being a true brother. Thanks guys!
I appreciate all of you taking the time to watch our new video and I hope you will help spread the word by telling all of your friends about it, reposting it on your blogs, and on Facebook, re-Tweeing it on Twitter and re-Blipping it on Blip.fm, and where ever you can post it. Please be sure to leave positive comments on Youtube and rate it as well.
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.
