Playing For Change

At my school, the kids in the Digital Music department have been compiling a bunch of tracks to make a CD for the foundation Playing for Change. Among the producers are myself, Jared Frankel (who organized the whole CD), Luis Guillen, AG, Ruby Kaye and Calvin Solomon. All the money raised by the CD will go directly to the Playing for Change Foundation. The Foundation's main objective is to raise money to build music schools in areas that have no means of building them. This is a fantastic foundation and everyone should buy a CD and support the cause. Oh and all the tracks are dope as hell too.

Again... all proceeds go directly to Playing For Change.

My song "Burst" will be featured on the CD.

Knicks

I usually just talk about music, but this shit got me too hype tonight. I'm a Nets fan (that has always liked the Knicks), but for the first time, an NBA team that I like is fun to watch. Idc if ppl say I'm jumping on the bandwagon. There is too much swag here. I'm lovin the NBA right now, shit is sooo dope. So much freshness.

Man Purses

this video is of Consequence walking around Soho making fun of guys with man purses haha. Shit is mad funny. Also... download Movies on Demand 2 - mixtape is really really dope.

Black Mamba

The new Space Jam haha. This is amazing.

Directed by Robert Rodriguez. Starring Kobe Bryant, Danny Trejo, Bruce Willis & Kanye West.

All of The Lights

This video is unbelievable. The visuals are incredible - directed by the legend, Hype Williams. and I love the fact that Ye is wearing Jordans again and not crazy ass Japanese shit. They cut out Fergie's part of the song, but kept everything else. Cudi with the Thriller jacket haha.

Beautiful video to a beautiful song...

The Inspiration

This beat is called The Inspiration. It was rly simple at first, just a horn and a drum, but my music teacher Mr. Currie laid down the chords and I thought it was actually kinda fresh so I went with it. I don't think it's finished yet but I also think its a decent start.

Duck Sauce

I love this video, incredible summer vibe... I love to live in NYC and hopefully this summer I'll be able to take advantage of it like I've wanted to for so long. This is an unbelievable video from A-Trak and the cameos are ridiculous. It needs to get warm again man... Shit

Happy Birthday Dilla

Today would be the 37th birthday of the best producer of all time. James Yancey aka J Dilla aka Jay Dee... He was considered one of the more dedicated people ever to grace hiphop, his influence is everywhere. He was one of the first producers to ever use sampling in the way it's used today, with MPCs and whatnot. His health started to fail in 2004, and in 2006 he died from a heart attack. He died three days after the release of a strictly instrumental album, Donuts. Donuts is one of the iconic albums in hip hop history. Although he passed almost five years ago, his legacy and his music lives on forever.

Dilla is a true legend. Pay homage to the greatest to ever do it. Happy Birthday R.I.P.

G.O.A.T.

Mad Energy

These guys have been making bangers since '88 and they're still goin hard. This definitely is not their best song but much respect for keepin true to themselves for more than 2 decades. They paved the way for all the hype rap that we hear today like DMX and Waka and all that. So pay homage to the greats.

This is soooo crazy

dude is wild... the public enemy part is the craziest shit imo.

watch for yourself tho
