Last Wednesday found the 5G/Well Done family at New York's legendary Chung King Studios for my man Poison Pen's album listening party, and as we entered the building and walked past the gold and platinum achievement plaques lining the walls, everyone made a note of stopping at the Old Dirty Bastard and Michael Jackson frames to pay respect and share some thoughts.

After some emotional moments, it was onto the listening room for drinks courtesy of the good people at Captain Morgan, Buffalo wings and celery sticks, and to hear the homie Pen's magnum opus that is "The Money Shot" dropping August 4th on Gold Dust featuring production by yours truly!

for a taste of the medicine!
I'll co-sign the "Bed Stuy goon" all day... impeccable beat and guest appearance selection combined with an arsenal of original flows and one of the most unique voices in hip-hop make this guy a force to be reckoned with. And as if you couldn't have guessed, I've also made him a part of my forthcoming debut Connect The Dots. dropping in the fall. His appearance is the potent ingredient that makes our duet It one of my favorite tracks. Shouts to our mutual friend Craig G for stopping by and chopping it up for a few as well!

When the listening session wrapped we made our way down the block to famed indie music club SOB's in support of our homegirl Miz Metro, to be a part of her Unlimited album release party. Me and Danny produced a joint on there featuring our dude Homeboy Sandman that is different from anything else we've ever done, and is sure to have you scratching your head for a second! Haha. Some New Orleans big band meets Digable Planets shit. It's rightfully titled "Sandman" and a snippet can be found here on her website, where you can purchase her album AVAILABLE NOW. Shouts to the wizardry of Fiona Bloom on the assist!
I've been fortunate enough to have a lot of great memories rocking at SOB's, and this night was no different as me and Eternia joined Miz Metro on stage to unveil the official first single off of my album. It's a concept jam called Gender Bender that brings to light the differences male and female artists face while on the road. Footage from the performance and a proper music video will be rolled out with the release of the single dropping real soon.
Me, Miz Metro and E
putting it down for SOB's!

Before I get back to work, we're talking about all this amazing new music today, so I'd also like everybody to head over to my man Cookbook's MySpace page to download his latest album I Love The 80's FOR FREE! And you know how I feel about my 80's music. Cook rolls with the LA Symphony collective which also includes other industry allies of mine... more on that in the very near future. Until then:

We never stop,
