1982 Album Listening Party In NYC

If you're in New York on October 19th, I guarantee you'll have a good time at the 1982 official album listening event. I just attended the Boston listening party the other night and it was great. Statik Selektah & Termanology have a chemistry that can only exist if you're musical colleagues AND genuine friends. You'll enjoy hearing their "behind-the-scenes" commentary on the new album, which by the way is HEAVY. Thugathon ya'll!

Reks- In Between The Lines (The Mixtape) Here

Oh shit! Reks just dropped his In Between The Lines mixtape. Going through this now and there are some serious serious joints on it. Lately Reks has been out of control making high quality material, and this continues the hot streak. I know I JUST gave Statik props a couple days back, but he's murdering it on the boards with the lead off track, Self Titled.

Reks- Self Titled (produced by Statik Selektah)-

Self Titled is apparently a preview of the forthcoming full length, R.E.K.S., most likely dropping sometime this summer. Piano sample on this one is perfect, and I'm digging how they flipped the Nas' Destroy and Rebuild A Capella. At this rate, I know this won't be the last time this year I blog about the man behind Grey Hairs.

Grab it all below!

100 Proof! M.O.P. x Mobb Deep x Juice Crew Collabo

(above: Statik Selektah at the Cambridge, MA 100 Proof Listening Party)

Alright, so I had a short burst of posts to close out 2009 / ring in 2010 then I got quiet. I suppose I should visit my Mom's house over holidays and bring my laptop more often. I'd be a blogging king. A king I tells ya! Well, let's be for real, that's not really what I dream of becoming.

(Great start, Will. That'll keep them checking in...)

Honestly, I've crawled into my cave that is C's Section and started putting in work on new material. Time to make some magic. The only way for me to do that is to drop off the face of the Earth here and there. Also, I have to surround myself with positive energy, so check out the new name I gave my computer hard drive:

Now you know it's official.

Statik Selektah's 100 Proof The Hangover) dropped a little over a week ago, and I've been meaning to say a little something about it / post a track. Statik is killing it on the boards and once again came through with an onslaught of talented emcees. That's pretty much a given now, as his talent and unparalleled work ethic have helped him build genuine friendships with countless industry personalities. With that being said, you can tell everyone is happy to be involved in the project, yielding an album that sounds natural. This in itself is a great accomplishment for a record stacked so high with guests.

I'm sure you've noticed I have nothing but positive things to say about Statik projects. In a genre where countless personalities are talking trash about one another, Statik is giving us albums where there is a sense of camaraderie between tons of artists, and that alone is worth giving props.

Speaking of giving props...

If you haven't peeped his past two albums, Spell My Name Right (The Album) and Stick 2 The Script, check them out. There's something for most rap fans on these releases. For the demographic who checks out this blog, I'm thinking this may be a choice cut off the new record (it's also the beat playing in the above video)...

Statik Selektah- Do It 2 Death feat. Lil Fame, Havoc, and Kool G Rap-

Here's a couple of my favorites from his past two offerings...

Mr. Popularity feat. Consequence (from Stick 2 The Script)-

Ahhhh, those drums!!!

Did What We Had To Do (Showoff Mix) feat. KRS-One, Larry Cheeba & Large Professor (from Spell My Name Right)-



Take It To The Top feat. Cassidy, Saigon and Termanology (Video- from Stick 2 The Script)-

(Worth checking out alone for the amount of times Cassidy says "man" in the first half of his verse... YES)



If you like 'em, cop 'em!

Xs and O Faces

I am more than pleased to announce my official signing with Brick Records! It is an honor to operate as an artist on the label that helped launch the careers of 7L & Esoteric, Mr. Lif, Insight, Termanology, Akrobatik, and countless others. I am joining a 2009 "roster" filled with many acts I am thrilled to have on the team, from Statik Selektah, East Coast Avengers, Reks, Superstar Quamallah, and Raydar Ellis, to recent signee Blacastan. I've been keeping this quiet for a minute now, so it's great to finally announce.

I have had a great relationship working behind the scenes with Brick over the past few years, and it is great to stick with them for my home as an artist. It is going to be an exciting summer, so stay tuned. Single dropping in the very near future (look for soon-to-follow special announcement and press release), with the debut full length album to follow shortly.

Shout out to KARMA and Papa D!
