Dead Poet's Society


(Just Putt, Young Bloaw!, SGT, Z3)

Dead Poet's Society is me and my dude Just Putt (standing with notebook). I've known Putt for a few years now, we used to bump heads at open mics. I like the idea of group projects and decided to ask Putt if he was interested in doing an album after he featured on one of my tracks for S.O.U.L. Music. We begin recording for DPS as S.O.U.L. Music is wrapping up and getting ready for mastering, stay tuned!

Gotta Luv em!



These are the new spizikes one of my latest acquisitions. I don't know what it is about kix but I love em! I could throw on a plain tee, some crisp levis, and FRESH pair of kix and I'm good. I know a lot of heads who are far more obsessed then I am but still it's pretty bad.

Hard work continues


(Z3 & SGT)

"Yo G you think that sound aite?" That's probably what I was saying to G Staxx when they took this candid. Z3 is my right hand man when it comes to sound but everyone hears different and G is always helping us out while he's there so I always ask. Biggup to G for keeping it humble, my dude always lends a hand with taking flicks. catching footage, or helping out making connections.

Good to have Family


(Victor & SGT)

My cousin Vic came through to the studio a couple nights to get some video footage. My cousin does editing for a living so he's helping me out in that aspect not to mention he's been a long time supporter of my music. It's always good to have family.

PIRATE RADIO


I saw this movie last night and I thought it was pretty good. I like a rebel movie especially when music is involved. This movie was about pirate radio in the UK during the Rock Revolution and its definitely worth watching. There's plenty of comedy to keep you laughing so like I said not a bad watch.

Photo Shoot for album


This is one of the images captured at a photo shoot for S.O.U.L. music. I want you to feel like you're picking up a classic soul album when you pick my CD up off the shelves or when you're browsing through the Itunes music store.

Trip to the hospital?


This is my oldest princess Aiyanna Haze. We had a little impromptu trip to the hospital two nights ago but as you can see we always make the most of it. Needless to say she did not have that smile on when it was time for blood work lol, I love you little mama! Everything turned out fine and she is in perfect health. I guess it's better to be safe then sorry especially with something so precious.

S.O.U.L. Music gets a dose of FUNK


J Funk - A San Diego native that I had the pleasure of finding via the web. When you here this sound you hear true hip hop. J's sound seems to bring that early 90's Golden Era feel to a new audience with new techniques. Needless to say I was on the phone with this dude until 7am this morning working out a deal for three of his beats. No doubt these tracks are aimed at making S.O.U.L. MUSIC but stay tuned bc I'm sure his production is gonna pop up on the DEAD POET'S SOCIETY project and more projects to come!

Hard Work Pays Off

Had a good session in the studio the other night. This is one of the photos taken by G. You can see Z3 on the boards, Serringe yapping away on the newly aquired IPhone, and my cousin Vic manning the HD cam on the tripod, and you already know in the middle like a Puerto Rican Diddy ( minus the dances and the "take that take that" adlibs) lol. We got some good footage, some good stills, finished up the outro, and mixed a few of the tracks. If hard work pays off then I'm ready for my fortune.

New Track prod by Bobby Garcia


(Bobby Garcia & SGT OVER)

My boy and engineer Z3 told me about a beat he heard from his neighbor at the studio space. Well the beat was so dope he called me to say that I had to hear it. When I got to the studio last night I went over and took a listen. Needless to say the beat is fresh and I already have the hook and first verse. I have to pause to hit the supermarket and stock up for my lil ladies. Yo Bobby good looking for the beat fam I'll send you the track when it's done.

New Artwork


New image created by the one and only Dr. Aquafresh aka Young Bloawness! This dude is not just a random contributor but a permanent member of the team and a driving force for the movement. Your going to see this image popping up in different places on the web. As always good looking out for the hard work!

ARTIST SUING DJ????



LiL Wayne is Suing DJ Drama. That's crazy! I'm not big on Wayne and I couldn't care less about DJ Drama and his Gangsta Grills mixstape (by far one of the stupidest names I ever heard for any project let alone a mix tape but with these idiots it makes sense) but just the fact that an artist is suing a DJ for putting out material which kept him relavent in the first place is crazy.

CD FOR SALE LOL!


Every now and again people go to google (or your favorite search engine) and type in their own name to see what they find. Last night in the midst of listening to old soul records for samples and going over art ideas for the album I typed in SGT OVER. I was surprised to see that someone had a sealed copy of my first mix tape "Hostile Takeover". Not only that but they're selling it for $17.97, good job! Whoever you are I'm not mad at all. It's not like they're selling a case full of em so I'm sure it's just a fan. I gave out so many of these things on the east coast you never know. I even sent some to the UK, anything is possible.

S.O.U.L. MUSIC is on its way!


"It feels good to make soul music" is a quote from a track off the new project and that statement is true to every letter. This album is me delivering my story from the heart with out compromising any of the story for wordplay or wow factors and the messages are shining through. If you're familiar with my work then you know I've been in attack mode for quite some time figuring I would eventually find myself through the disfiguring of other rappers styles and statures. Eventually I found myself as an artist and I'm happy with the result. Now I'm exactly who I been looking for on this journey through lyricism, crazy right?! With this album I give you the story of my childhood, the tale of my city, I explain my situations with my daughters' mothers, my ability with words, and how my children are my reason for breathing. I held back nothing and put my mistakes in plain view. "Ugly Love Song" is one that sticks out where I put myself on blast. S.O.U.L. Music is my lyrical expression of who I was before and the events that lead to me being who you see before you today.

Metaphorically Speaking


As an artist I pride myself on being true to who I am. I don't try and portray myself in a way that if you met me in person you would see a total departure from who I am in my songs. Many what I like to call "TRUE" MC's experiment with their music. I personally have had intergalactic battles with onslaughts of alien like rappers from distant realms, but that's me being creative and exploring my sub conscious perception of life. If you strip away my metephor you will see that distant galaxy was probably a show or open mic I went to for the first time filled with a bunch of wack rappers which is why they're alien to me, I don't deal with wack my crew stay FRESH! Point being as crazy as it may seem on the surface everything I speak of stems from my real life experiences.
