A few days ago I had a photoshoot with my homie Pierson from Phlip Pinas t-shirts. He sent me some samples so I thought I’d bless y’all with a preview:
And those are just samples! I’m getting the full set soon for my EPK (Electronic Press Kit) I’ve been working on. Big ups to Pierson and please check out his site here:
He takes crazy pics and makes even crazier t-shirts so support his movement aiiite?
Also, after the photoshoot, I drove to M-Studio and just chilled with the good ppl there as they set up a basketball court. You can see the footage here:
That’s all folks! I got a pretty busy week coming up. I gotta link up with all the producers for my upcoming album and sequence the tracks then finally start recording the remaining songs! Soooo thanks for dropping by,
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
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
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?
