Yea yea yea, it’s been awhile since I blogged up in here; something I was constantly reminded about the past few weeks from everyone with the random texts and e-mails.. “UPDATE YOUR SITE ALREADY!!!” “YOU SAID YOU’D UPDATE IT YESTERDAY” etc.
My bad. I have no excuse.
So I’ll leave it at that haha
But back to the music tip… I’ve done a few gigs the past couple of weeks, most notably “Bringing It Back” and “Fresh Kicks.” “Bringing It Back” at Cusina Lounge was a special one to me, in the sense that it was my first time performing at Bathurst & Wilson, a predominantly Filipino community of Toronto that I often neglect since I am from the East (Scartown stand up!)… But yea, it was all love, my peoples came down, and I know my brother/roommate UGN Son was definitely happy with the turnout that night. “Fresh Kicks” was dope also since, I dunno how, but, I managed to perform with a sore throat and I killed it. To my fellow artists out there, you know those nights where you’re just on stage and hitting every cue, feeling cocky as fuck because you’ve never heard yourself sound better? Yup, that was it at “Fresh Kicks.” Big ups to MPz (Vinsane & Brandnew) for putting me on that night and big ups to Famous, KDB, Krhyme Syndicate, A-Status, and all the other artists in the house that night.
As far as my album… As I mentioned above, I’ve had a sore throat that just won’t go away. I can’t record in this state so the album has been pushed back. But my loss is your gain since I’ve been taking this opportunity to just keep writing and writing.. meaning, the album keeps getting new tracks and tracks.
I also spent the past month on vacation in Las Vegas!!! I left my heart there (Tim and Jervy knows where!!!) and I’m just in love with the West Coast now. The palm trees, the cloudless skies, the friendly people, the atmosphere. Damn, it’s enough to make me go back on the reg… Actually, hell yea, I’m going back in November. Maybe I can win back all the money I lost from playing craps and roulette.
Regarding the updates of this website… I know I said I’d be updating with a feature every Sunday, but I’ve found that there’s so much prep work I have to do with my album that I can’t find the time to go interview the people I wanted, write the music reviews, etc. So as of now, all Sunday features will be postponed until my album is released. Sorry, but that’s how it goes.
Anyway, here’s the flyers to the two shows I didn’t get to put up:
Also, here’s a pic of me with UGN Son and D-Pryde on TV after I performed at the Mabuhay festival:
Anyway, I’ll be updating more regularly, but not the Sunday features… just me writing the realest shit I ever wrote!
PEACE
