When I was in elementary school and middle school, all I listened to in my walkman was Stevie Wonder, and I thought I was normal. I would rather be silly but I take things too personal. I think people who create music are mirrors of the creator. The collection of notes and rhythms is what I image the voice of God to sound like. It is no coincidence that the world was created by sound. I am making it through law school - but it is a love/hate relationship. I'm changing and growing with each passing second. I made this blog because wanted to find a medium for me to share, discuss, disagree, vibe out, to the music that I have made the soundtrack to my life. Yup....
Inspiration is a refreshing shot of energy. Before this year, I didn't know much about Dame Dash beyond Rocafella. I first got wind of the "Blacrok" Project a few months ago - then I came across his project "Creative Control". Both projects bring together musicians and performers in a raw forum - the emotion, the talent, the energy is real. If you ask me, I think that he is a creative-business-freakin-genius. I have been churning the wheels in my head, trying to come up with a life plan. Something creative, lucrative, enjoyable, uplifting, worthwhile, eternal.
I feel a change coming - this technological revolution has created a high pressured stream of information transfer - intake of information, output of ideas, in various forms and styles. The hottest commodity is original thought. Message: Its time to be new, to be you.
Great things to come in the world of art. It is a new day.
I just smiled when I came across these young dudes. Vohnbeatz is a 11 y/o producer, son of producer S1. Mpak is a 15y/o MC. Below is a video with clips of a live performance in Dallas. Enjoy and stay tuned for great things from these young men.
This video is amazing. Adam Tensta is a Swedish hiphop MC. I was kinda skeptical when I learned that this guy was from Europe. But I am feeling his techno + rap feel. Definitely a hot sound right now.
