Hope you had a great Valentine's Day with that special someone. A couple of real interesting projects I've had the pleasure of being a part of are now available, and I wanted to tell you about them...
First off, I'm a huge movie buff, so I was very excited to hear about the new Brooklyn's Finest film coming out March 5th starring Wesley Snipes, Don Cheadle, Ethan Hawke and more. And -as you can imagine- I was even more excited to hear that my song It. featuring Poison Pen off my album Connect The Dots. was selected to be a part of the official Brooklyn's Finest mixtape brought to you by the fine folks at Overture Films and djbooth.net! I keep some great company on there, so be sure and check it out...
Here's Ev with another one of my pals,
the radiant and talented Eternia.
The other song featured on the album is called L.A. Times (J.J. Brown REMIX) which features the great DJ Rhettmatic from the mighty Beat Junkies DJ crew. I love this joint because I grew up totally immersed in the big, driven Gangsta Rap production sound. In fact, there was a time was I think I was more influenced by West Coast groups than those right here in my own back yard, so it was nice to get to use some of those hidden talents on a track haha. I got a lot out of my system on this one. So click on the album cover below and support that good shiyit y'all:

Next up, my homies from the left coast, L.A. Symphony's Cookbook & Uno Mas are back with a new one called C&U Music Factory. I got two joints on there, and they're both very special to me for different reasons. One is called When You Rock & Roll which features Evidence from Dilated Peoples. It's so ill to me to hear him on one of my beats because I learned a lot from listening to DP product over the years, and consider Ev to be one of the best doin' it right now. It's really an honor to have a song with him on my resume.to the DJ Booth website

Last but certainly not least, I've always had a passion for the visual arts as well, especially photography. I got a ill Cannon for my one year wedding anniversary from my lovely wife Kai, so I put it to good use by tagging along with her as the photographer on one of her styling gigs. This time it was for my good friend the1shanti's new group Bonita Applebum with the beautiful Shefali Kumar. They created a behind-the-scenes video blog of the photo shoot, and if ya wanna see yer boy throwing down in a way you never saw before, click the pic below!
