Friends and Albums.

A dear friend of mine bought me a "quality" bottle of rum. She's the best. Anyway..
There has been great reception to my new EP "Something Forever" which is a digital only release. Many of my beautiful fans wanted physical copies of the record and I couldn't agree more. There's something special about having a physical copy of ..well....ANYTHING...remember the feeling of receiving a letter in the mail from a friend? That was the best!!! Now a daze we're almost lost in this stupid digital world that we forget about the greatness of tangibility. Is that even a word? I don't care because if it's not, now it is!...sucka! Anyway...what am I even talking about? oh ya! "Something Forever" is going to be released on CD with bonus tracks! It will be released on BBE in Feb 2011! The label called me and told me I have one week to get new songs ready to put on it, so i have been working my butt in the studio this week. I got this new joint that I'm so pumped about. It might be called "This Beautiful Feeling". Ft Ebrahim (Hopefully)

P.S. I miss kenny.

P.S.S. one week is not a lot of time to do 4 new songs... I'm not a robot damnit...

P.S.S.S what the &$&#^# does P.S. stand for?! and why do you have to add more S's?!

It's funny watching rap videos "now a daze" and the persona of some of these characters. What's also interesting is the influence it has on their fans and followers. We naturally reflect what we take in. With the abundance of material things available and the continual desensitization of vanity in the sake of entertainment + profit, some (most) are blind to the fact of their significance in the bigger picture. If one was to take a second out of the day and look in from a birds eye view on their life, zoom out a little... They'll see that the earth is very small,very very extremely small... Zoom out some more and you'll see our galaxy is small....zoom out some more..well you get the point.. If that's not humbling, what is...

I'm so happy & relieved my music attracts intelligent, down to earth cool people!! I've been bumping into "genuine" fans more frequently and so far every one i've met seem to be unique souls with great style man... When we talk they just "get it". Keep keepin on!!!!

Some of you may not know this, but when i'm not doing Slakah the Beatchild projects, I have a group called Art of Fresh www.myspace.com/artoffresh chances are that if you like my stuff you will enjoy The Art of Fresh...well, at least i hope you will :)

Just recently we shot a video for our current AoF single entitled Campfire Music. Like "Enjoy ya Self" I shot and directed this one too. Here are some stills from the day, shot by my super talented photographer friend Anna Keenan (www.annakeenanphotography.com)

It was a crazy day, two actors didn't show up and we were running late, it started to rain, but in the end it all came together and the footage looks amazing. Sometimes it is really hard being the Director of your own video - being behind the camera when you should be in front...but it is all so much fun.

Here are some more art of fresh videos.

Anyway, hope you enjoy!

Peace, love & soul
