Well, more like 4 min and 50 second moments lol. Join me in celebration as I wrap the recording process to “THE BORN IDENTITY MIXTAPE”, then take a look and listen to snippets of my freestyles to Drake’s “OVER” and Ghostface’s “MIGHTY HEALTHY” – this is one hell of an update! ENJOY!
I had the pleasure of joining The Cornel West Theory (who just got a co-sign from Erykah Badu on their new vid!), along with Jati & DJ Underdog at their most recent video shoot this weekend. Another beautifully shot joint, this time featuring a cameo by your’s truly is coming to y’all soon.
After the shoot, I received some troubling news… it seems that my crew has been getting the Mike Tyson Treatment as of late:
DAMN, all these years I’ve been hearing “there’s no morals in this game” and I guess everyone who’s said that has been right. Swagger jackers…. shark n*ggas…
Since I gotta keep it chill, no point in going on… but I will say that I’m DISGUSTED and DISAPPOINTED in some of you so-called “DMV personalities”. I would’ve expected better from you. But it just goes to show who runs this town after all… SMH you n*ggas kill me. Smarten up, cuz I can only be silent but for so long. This is our livelihood – the more you steal from the plates we make, the easier it will be to expose y’all without a second thought.
In closing – fat shout to my crew, The Rebels, the most bitten click in the city – which includes: THE CORNEL WEST THEORY, DEBORAH BOND, 3rd LOGIC, DA HOODFELLAS, NDIGO ROSE, SHAMBHALA, GODFATHER SAGE, IMANI BEATS, VOIDS MOAN, THE INNER CIRCLE, DOLCE & BERETTA, ALIGNING MINDS, ASAHRA MUSIC, MONOMENTAL MUSIC GROUP, AND THE REST OF THE FAM
Last August on my birthday, I released this remix of Joker & Ginz’s now-classic Dubstep hit “Purple City”. Immediately the reactions were polarized. To dubstep purists, my lyrics over this hallowed track were considered blasphemy. To the average listener, “Purple City Remix” was some of the hardest, most innovative sh*t they had ever heard. Nearly a year later, the jury is still out, depending on who you ask. From “Bollox” to “Brilliant”, you be the judge. Here it is again folks, “Purple City Remix” Born I – Purple City remix (prod. by Joker & Ginz) by Born I Music
Last night’s studio session was OFF THE HOOK! I went in over Drake’s “Over” instrumental and a classic beat from the late 90s that I’m keeping secret for now! The Born Identity Mixtape, when its all said and done will be a game-changer for sure. Just feelin thankful and real blessed right now to have the team that I do.
So kids, the word of the day is PROGRESS! Got a lot in store and its coming soon. In the meantime, enjoy another banger from the tape:
So much to think about – so much to get ready for!…. Spring has been good to me. Actually this whole year has been good to me. I started this journey as a soloist just over a year ago and already I have so much material its insane… I’m sittin on a single y’all that is gonna change the game, I just know it. Its like knowing you have money in the bank… its a real good feeling. We’re just finalizing the paperwork on that and we launch! I shot the video back in december – when it’s all ready to roll, you’re gonna be happy I made you wait. Summertime baby!
