SIDE PARTING

I started recording this yesterday but had a little tasty round in the evening so didn't get to finish it… I'm writing this as I wait for my house mate to get up so I can get in the lab and finish itt.. Obviously you'll be reading it after I recorded.. but yeh… This is another short but sweet offering… playing around with flows on a simple skippy beat I made.. I've realised that content is key, I don't mean in lyrics (even though thats obviously very important too..) I mean internet content or media. The more stuff people have to remind them of you then the more chance you have at them remembering your name - and thats basically the goal right???

So yesterday was a big news day… Kodak went bust, and Romeo went in the Celebrity Big Brother house, and Lil B done a new tune!

Kodak going bust is actually nuts, I was only talking to my Nan a week a go about how digital things have ruined some traditional things…. The one we decided it effected the most was family photography - its made it well difficult for people of older generation to get their hands on family photos an stick them on their mantle piece etc.. now my nan has to go my aunties to look at photos on Facebook etc.. Kodak going out of business is literally the END of physical photography and it won't be long before other types of media go the same way (music is basically already there…)

Ok so.. on to a more controversial topic.. LIL B. The thing about Lil B is that he s actually shit at rapping, I don't care what anyone says.. BUT he makes it look soooo good that it don't really matter.. him and soldier boy have basically made it ok to be poorly talented but look fly… i aint sure if this is a good or bad thing.. (i've got both… HA) check this out, I like the naked bathroom with my gun bar the most.. lol.



Also - Romeo is in the big brother house… if you used to love So solid like me then you will understand the importance of this… And I'm talking about before they charted with 21 seconds.. I'm talking Delight FM and So Solid sundays fammm. When Asher D and Harvey were sparring partners and toooo sick.. Oi whose heard that Romeo, Megaman and Neil T set from Delight… I'm gonna try and find it and post here it SICCKKKKK.

Anyway… see how Romeos going on here:



I found out the tune I did with Moombahton hero (Munchi) has got 10,500 plays today… I was amazed - actually think about that. 10,500 people have heard my voice - thank you I guess. Does that mean 10,500 people would buy my L.P? Probably not… YET!

It got played on Radio yesterday still….. The shows actually quite sick, hold tightttt DJ Kalite, that really is family treeeee all the way back to the sugar cane home land stilllll.

Check 18:40 onwards for my bit:

TRIBOS PRESENTS 2012 BITCHESS! by TRIBOS PRESENTS

Starter (jacket)

When I came back from Holland last Christmas, I put all the tunes I made into a handy little zip folder and sent them out to the few contacts I had - I got a reply from a good guy called Joe at Cargo Records - we talked for an hour on the phone and the outcome was a pretty generous distribution deal! How ever around the same time I got side tracked massively by other parts of my life... so I never got round to making the new material. After a year making beacoup money as a freelance writer, something happened and it made me re-evaluate - I realized I need to start making music again. That's when I made this.. and probably why it's so short, I was just getting back in the mood...

I like that tune a lot - it makes me feel like I'll take you on. Actually let me take this opportunity to say that I love all my tunes, they are exactly what I want from music, which is why I make them. I love it when people try and take the piss for listening to my own music.. Well, if I can't listen to it over and over again then how I can I expect any one else to?

Any way, as I said, something happened and I was forced to re-evaluate certain things in my life.. and this tune pretty much explains what was going on...

Back in Action by LAKEY MUSIC

I sent both these tunes to Joe yesterday and he said he's interested in talking again... I have phone meeting with him on Friday - will keep you posted!

"FIRST THINGS FIRST..

man your fucking with the worst, I be sticking pins in your head like a fucking nurse."  (I'll give a free bottle of tonic wine to the first person that emails me the name of the person that wrote this bar.)

nah but really..

I've started a blog because I think that's what your supposed to do when your in my position. My position is that I am rapper/producer who is trying to find a way to get paid from this dumb music industry of ours...

I think this will be a good way to chart my progress, it might even help my progress - and one day I hope people will use it as and when they are starting out etcetc.

Let me conclude my first post with the tune I haven't been able to stoppp listening to for the past few weeks. Don't care if its old. Try and tell me Wayne is not a boss with the Autotune...
