You are probably already familiar with the Soul Maestro's work on some of my joints such as "Breathe" and "Remembering the Future". The Song is produced by Rob Murat and Optiks....(Embassy all day!!!!)

IT'S MY BIRTHDAAAAAAAAAAY!!!!!!
Wow.....so I turned 26th today, and last night had to be the illest birthday eve I've ever had. First to be next to the Legendary Slick Rick was overwhelming.....(all that jewelry did not help either) but to rock to a full house at Studio B, Brooklyn was just priceless. My band the "Mighty Embassy Ensemble" was in full effect and to say we rocked the house is definately an understatement. I have to shout out Rob Murat (keys+ vox) BSatz (upright bass) Sydney (drums) Johny (Sax) Ron (Trombone) Jonathan (Trumpet) and DJ Kev Sakoda (1's and 2's), Kwasi, James and my man on the boards, John Altino Jr. ( thanks for showing them sound dudes how its done). Thank all y'all for an exellent set and enjoying my b'day with me. And for those who couldn't make it out to party with us I just added an exclusive new song to my myspace called "Remembering the Future"..... Thats what I hope we can all celebrate....THE FUTURE!
ENJOY.
ENJOY.

TOUR BLOGGERY 114 (WE TAKING OVER, THE REVIEW!!!!!!!!.)

So last weekend was the craziest ever....I rocked Philly with Akon, got home the next day and rocked with the god MC himself Rakim. So let me give you a play by play recap of of both shows... We got to Philly at about 2pm on saturday ( cos we were supposed to soundcheck then but we all knew that never happens) We got to souncheck at about 6pm after waiting for Akon's band to finish their check. The minute we got on stage, Akons manager walks up and tell us we cant use any of the instruments on stage including the drum set and keyboard...(Wooooow, I was thinking this shit is over!) We had to get down and negotiate hard till they finally agreed we could use the equipment as long as we did'nt adjust any of the levels...(we all took a deep breath and thanked God!) Sound check was a little rough since we did not have an engineer to work the house. Big shouts to the sound man Scott who was patient with us and set up all my 9 musicians. Big Shouts to Rob Murat (vox, keys), Kate Mattison (vox, keys), Chris (guitar), Jonathan (trumpet), John (Tenor Sax), Omar (Alto Sax), Sydney (drums) BSatz (upright Bass), Dj Gi Joe (cutz).... (This Band Rocks)

Anyways so the show got off to a late start, Kid Sister and DJ A-Track rocked first and then it was time for yours truely. The munite we started the joint "Prelude"...the crowd went bizzzzerk. I rocked the Djembe for the first verse then hoped on the mic and it was on from there. The highlight of my performance had to be "Suicide Theme"....I don't think anyone was ready for Kate Mattison. She started the song so calm and smooth then all of a sudden it just got crazy when I droped my verse. The guitarist Chris, had the sickest solo too. We ended the set with Home and that really got the crowd screaming....I'll take you Home,... Home,.... Home. ( how dope ?????) All in all it was a great night and I have to thank all the musicians for their patience before and after the set, Kieth for the photos, Kwasi, Cralee, Lloyd, Charlie, Derrick Gomez (sorry for a bumpy night), James, Tanya and everyone else who helped make this happen. Oh and btw Akons set was nice too.... I missed most of it because I was hustling to get my people back home to NYC, which was to happen at 2am but didnt until 6am.... I got no sleep all night but thats another story. I got back to NYC on the China town bus because I could'nt fit in the van that brought my band home.
Allhiphop.com reviewed the Rakim Show and showed me some love....CLICK TO READ
I knew about the Rakim show but I was not confirmed to perform so my goal was just to get home and rest. Believe it or not, my phone rang as soon as I droped my bags in my apartment and it was my manager Kwasi, sounding maaaad excited....."Yo you rockin with Rakim Tonight...you ready?" I was like daaaaaamn!!!!!!! I was tired as hell but this is a Rakim y'all...The god MC himself...with special guest Chuck D,.... How can I say NO????? So I got back on the phone called my two horn players (who I know must have been tired as shit), and we went to Studio B and did the Damn thing. Big shouts to Danny Castro who made that happen and Chuck D for the big up. So that was the end of my crazy weekend in Philly and NYC. Next show is in BK @ Solomons Porch (in Bedstuy) If you are in the BK make sure you make this show, I'm headlining with my live Band. Thanks for reading, I know it was crazy long. Catch y'all soon.
Peace.

TOUR BLOGGERY 113 (WE START '08 WITH A BLAST.)
Peace Y'all.... Hope you enjoyed your holidays like we did. 08' is definately starting on a very high note with two major live shows with Akon & Freeway (Jan 19th) and Snoop Dogg & Lupe Fiasco (Feb 29th) in Philly. In addition to these shows, I'm featured in the current issue of Trace Magazine so grab that of a newstand around you. I'm also in the final mixing stage of my album Suicide Stereotype, be on the look out for the official 12" release ( for all my vinyl junkies) and itunes premiere. The early reviews of Suicide Stereotype have been awesome with some writers calling it the most anticipated debut Hip-Hop release since Kanye Wests College Dropout. Well, we have a couple months before release and we are close to locking something down with a major label (wont say who yet...lol) so we hope this excitement continues. Big shouts to Kwasi and Charlie working non-stop to get us the best situation. Keep spreading the word y'all....08' is OURS.
Peace.
