Soo… it’s Friday July 17 and I’m just chillin at home before I hit up the Axis Of Evil show at Opera House tonight. I gotta send a shoutout to F.E.L.N from my Project Bounce days… and the rest of the PB crew: Bootleg, Gee Baby, Lannie, Profit, Maj, Joanna, Farrah, etc. If y’all reading this, get at me! I barely have anyone’s contact!!!

Anyway! Last week me and the homie Kev had a lil’ roadtrip and crossed the border. We took a couple vids and sent some random shoutouts to Marc Tang since he wasn’t with us this time (HOUSTON STREET!). Peep the footage:

Overall it was a crazy trip… picked up crazy gear, had good eats, and grabbed some patron:

Pre-Jump Off 2 and Loungin’ around the past few days

Saturday, July 4th, 2009

Whatttttup everyone? It’s July 04, 2009, as in, the day history will be made at JUMP OFF II. Honestly, me, AJM, and UGN Son have gathered the ILLEST, FRESHEST, and FINEST of the Filipino hip-hop community here in the T.O to gather at M-Studio tonight in a show of unity and support for eachother’s movements.

So, only question is, why aren’t you going?

For now, I’m just about to leave my crib and pick the homie R. Scribe up. We gonna hit up my homegirl Ashley’s BBQ first, but after we gotta head out to Sauga for rehearsals, soundcheck, and set up. Hope to see y’all there! (at Jump Off 2 haha, not the BBQ, unless Ash doesn’t mind the extra guests!!!)

Also, just thought I’d share some more behind the scenes clips of what I’m up to outside the music. Thursday night I linked up with my old Scarborough crew and brought along the Jamestown boys too as we hit up DJ Mensa’s regularly scheduled Thursday night at Octapus Lounge. Cheeeck it out:

damn right open 'til forever

damn right open 'til forever

Also a vid of us just walkin around from Jamestown to College st:

I don’t know about them, but I had a good night! (despite me getting a parking ticket.)

Also linked with the FSA crew on Friday and we hit up the Michael Jackson tribute at Parkdale Drink. We really wanted to reach since we missed out on the ManifesTO MJ tribute at Dundas Square last week, and I gotta say, Big Jacks and Royale did not disappoint. “Rock With You,” “Billie Jean,” “ABC,” etc. Sheeeeit. I can go on and on.

Here’s me playing with Tim’s cookie monster hat while we waited for the MJ tunes:

NOM NOM NOM

NOM NOM NOM

Anyway, let me get serious for a minute. As I said the purpose of this blog was to document the process of making my third album. So I got in touch with the homie August Rigo yesterday and we had a really brief talk, but all in all, I’m gonna start pushing the first single “Queen feat. August Rigo” hella hard over the next few weeks. So, if you haven’t heard the track yet, check it out below:

This week I gotta create the promo flyers, design the logo in Adobe Illustrator and apply it to some shirts and business cards. I got an upcoming photoshoot for the album jacket pics and I gotta start working on an Electronic Press Kit. All in due time… As far as the album itself, all songs are written, but I’m missing some session files so I gotta holla @ the homie producer Tyme One and DJ Incise for those, plus I gotta get my home studio gear set up. Just bought an Mbox 2 Pro so I think I’m good?

Anyways… peace and blessings as usual,

FENAXIZ

Allow Me To Reintroduce Myself…

Sunday, June 28th, 2009

It’s been a long minute since FenaxiZ Online has been, well, online and I’d just like to welcome you to the site. If you’re an old follower then thanks for coming back after my hiatus. For people who are checking me out for the first time then an introduction may be in order:

I’m FenaxiZ, a 26-year old Filipino rapper based in Toronto, Ontario. Everybody calls me “Fen” so feel free to do so also! You can find out more details about me by reading up on my official artist biography; or, you can read my personal info to find out more on my life outside of the music industry.

In any case, a lot of years have passed since I’ve truly been involved with this site so it goes without saying that I’m not the same person I used to be. Whether you’re old or new to FenaxiZ Online, you’re going to get to know who I am through this new format I’ve chosen to reach out to the fans. The first two incarnations of www.fenaxiz.com took an impersonal approach to its updates, but now that it’s been revived as a blog, well, I’ll be sharing a lot more of my life than I’ve been known to do.

So what can you expect?

First, I’ll be using this blog to document the process of recording my upcoming third album Vintage. Yup, that’s right. I’m coming out with a new one baby! And I can promise you all that this project features me in my finest form. (And in case you were wondering about the current status: beats and lyrics are done for all 15 solo tracks so I am currently in the recording stage.)

Next, this blog won’t just be about my album. All aspects of my life from music business, community activism, home downtime, opinions on current events, and other random stuff will be posted here when possible. If I’m walking downtown and I buy some crazy kicks, best believe y’all will be hearing about it!

Finally, FenaxiZ Online will feature regularly scheduled updates.  The schedule is as follows:

  • The first Sunday of the month will showcase a song, artist, or album that I’m feeling.
  • The second Sunday of the month will review a drink for all my alcoholics out there.
  • The third Sunday will showcase someone or a group from the community.
  • The last Sunday will be a wildcard as I feature anything. It could be a comic book, a restaurant, etc. WHATEVER.

So that’s what it was, is, and will be. Oh yeah. Since this site is in blog format, feel free to add comments, contact me, send fan/hate mail, etc. The point is, I want to hear from YOU so I know I’m not just talking to myself.

PS: As for the current layout of the site, the approach I’m taking is that it’s forever going to be a work in progress. I know there are bugs right now in that it doesn’t display correctly on Internet Explorer; or that the content is still bare (you KNOW I have tons of pics and videos), but it’ll all go up in due time. Plus it gives you a reason to keep coming back, right? At least I hope so!

PEACE,

FenaxiZ
