Today is the tomorrow of yesterday...

Today I... well, hold up. I'm using that word loosely, because this time when I say "today" I'm really talking about yesterday and today combined since there hasn't been much sleeping going on around here! Got all that? Haha...

Anyway, yesterday started with a surprise schedule rearrangement (I'm not really sure why I even get surprised about that anymore) so I spent most of the day creating instrumentals of all the tracks on my album which my partner Dan "The Deacon" Maier, Big Lu and I are going to Philly to master this Thursday and Friday at Masterwork. This place is historic, and although some of my production for other artists has been mastered there, I've never been there myself, and this time it's gonna be even more special because it's for me!

Yesterday I also finally got to meet Block McCloud in person as well, when he and his son Lego stopped by the stu. Block and I have a lot of respect for each other's work, and the possibilities of where we go with the music now that we've made this connection are endless. We seriously talked about everything from making a few joints together for his next project, to doing a whole rock record together as a team! Haha... the inspiration to work is definitely there, and that makes me open for anything. Two things are for sure though, Lego is a rap prodigy in training, and Block is a featured singer AND rapper on my forthcoming single "Froze Prose" on Well Done/5G. If you don't know who my man is, click on the pic below and enjoy:

After bouncing out the instrumentals I moved onto the radio edits (FUCKIN' FUN!) and spent all day today with Danny mixing the beast that is "Froze Prose PART 2" featuring a new verse from me, new vox from Block, King Magnetic, my man Jonny October and the legendary Craig G!

After an eight hour mixing session we did take time for dinner at SEA in Billyburg with my dad who is visiting, and my wife. I'm honestly not sure how I feel about Thai food, but the vibe in this place is real cool.

Now I'm answering all the emails that have been accumulating, and catching up with all of you... I've been told I'm not on Twitter nearly enough, and we're just now getting my Facebook up and running, but I promise to get better at this stuff.


Where the magic really happens...

I'm on my grind cuzin, believe that...
