At the jam...

... but in for a shock, stupid big line wrapped around the block! For those who don't know, that's a lyric from one of my favorite joints from growing up, I Love Ladies from the great Ice-T:

The album release party was a huge success, and on Tuesday, November 10th at club SOB's here in New York City, it wasn't just a quotable from one of my favorite Iceberg numbers, it was 5G & Well Done's reality. Family, friends and fans alike gathered to celebrate the release of my album Connect The Dots. and made it a night I'll never forget.

By the way, here's a shot of me in my homage-to-MJ show jacket, rocking with Craig G...

Me & the legend Craig

Now here's a shot of another rhyming producer, out on the town...

Amber Rose & Kanye

I guess it's safe to say that great minds think alike! But also that this fraternity of musicians that we're all a part of is made up of at least one common thread... we all find inspiration through the late icon Michael Jackson, and we're each doing our own small part to make sure his true legacy is never forgotten.

We miss you Mike...

Connect The Dots. IN STORES NOW!!!!

Damn, this really feels so great right now... of course I've had many "album release days" but something is so different and unique when it's your name all by itself on the front cover! Lemme come down off this high now and let my man Homeboy Sandman have a say in it...

message from the great Homeboy Sandman!

I told you guys a long time ago that I would introduce my core team to you here on my blog, and what better day than RELEASE DAY to do just that? I'm so appreciative of these people's time and talents, and would like to thank them for making Connect The Dots. the success that it is:

Luis "Big Lu" Valbuena: Well Done CEO, my manager (and all around great guy!)

Dan "The Deacon" Maier: My longtime 5G partner and ILLEST right hand man in the biz.

the1shanti: This genius edits my video blogs and is my personal Zen master!

Adam "Illus" Wallenta: I need amazing art, I call him. It's that simple.

Fiona Bloom: If she ain't working your publicity, good luck with that.

J.J. Jenson: This man knows radio promo like no one else in indie hip-hop, point blank.

My wife: No matter how late I crawl into bed, she's still happy I'm there.

Obviously there are many more, as it takes an army to perform a proper album roll out. But it's important to note these key players who are a part of my daily operation, and who keep the wheels turning. Thank you guys. And oh yeah, we did it:

The weekly video blogs won't stop here! As my man Big Lu says, release day isn't the finish line, it's really the official start of all the real fun. So we'll continue to bring cameras everywhere we go throughout this exciting time in the world of Well Done/5G, but just in case you need to be brought up to speed on the past episodes of my video blog series, here's a recap:
