Thanks to Heyday Footwear Jules Renae & All the artists!!

“In celebration of Heyday Footwear’s launch of its Summer 2011 line, also including women’s sizes for the first time, Heyday Footwear is releasing a musical companion to the new line entitled, naturally, “The Heyday Mixtape”. At the direction of Heyday CEO Darin Hager, the project will be spearheaded by Heyday Brand Ambassadors Born I Music (aka Born Infinite, a Washington DC-based hip hop/electronica artist) and Jules Renae (Model and Director of PR & Marketing for Heyday Footwear and Head of Promotions for New England Hip Hop.com).

The primary goal of The Heyday Mixtape is to create a soundtrack that captures Heyday’s “street-meets-sleek” philosophy. Not only does Born I Music represent this philosophy, but all artists who wear and or represent Heyday (i.e. Twista, Elzhi, IAMEDIC, Jay Sean, Coolbeans, Flo Rida and Tony Yayo to name a few), are reflections of the company’s cross-genre ethic. The aim of The Heyday Mixtape is to highlight artists who, by their affiliation with Heyday, have proven that they are forward thinking and ahead of the curve both in their music and in their sense of style.
The mixtape will be a free download and for promotional use only, consisting of original material to be released via www.heydayfootwear.com, www.newenglandhiphop.com, www.bornimusic.com.

The Heyday Mixtape Drops 5/31 FEATURING: Born I, Mobb Deep, Coolbeans, Soul Khan, Shawnna, Twista, Ayah, HimmHott, KO The Legend, Mid-Summer Classic, Millyz, Youngstarr, EasyMoney, David Correy, Anjuli Stars, Asia Bryant, Waze, Suga SP, MacGuyver, Sketch, Young Riot, YV & Hollywood, Lights Over Paris, Game, IAMMEDIC & Edo G”

RE:BORN

November 24, 2010 at 10:23 pm

ITS HERE. CLICK THE COVER

“To say the things he truly feels, and not the words of one who kneels.”

The closing words to Frank Sinatra’s “My Way” perfectly sum up Born I Music’s latest release “RE:BORN (Chairman of the Board)“.

This is truly a project for all seasons. “RE:BORN” finds Born I completely in his element as he weaves through an incredible collection of hip hop, dubstep and soul classics with impeccable timing, wordplay and delivery.

RE:BORN” gives us Born in a new phase of personal, lyrical and artistic development. Add that to Kanye’s “Runaway”, Joker’s “Tron”, Jay Electronica’s “Ghost of Christopher Wallace” or Erykah Badu’s “Window Seat”, lace samples of Frank Sinatra & Rat Pack folklore throughout and you’ve got an experience designed to last a lifetime. This isn’t your regular mixtape. This is rebirth. Every track you’ll hear, including the artist himself has been transformed, upgraded, perfected. In a word, Re:Born.

NEW VIDEOS

October 31, 2010 at 12:59 pm

SUP Y’ALL?? I’m in NYC right now, just waking up from a craaaazy party last night @ Sullivan rom.

Thought I’d throw some video’s up

Here’s the latest from G&D artist MacGuyver’s mixtape “Freedom of Speech” feat Waze and you-know-who! Directed by the homie Julian Alexander. I’m really proud of my brother Mac and I love how this sh*t came out. Hip Hop at its finest. Enjoy:
EXHIBIT G&D

So this next video isn’t exactly “new”, its from a performance I did in Philly a year ago as a guest with Matisyahu. I’ve been hearing about this video for a while but never got chance to watch it myself. I finally did. Pretty damn thoro lol. Shoutout to the homie Kosha Dillz who put it down hard as well. Pause.

LIVE IN PHILLY WITH MATISYAHU

Alright y’all I’ll catch up soon. Lot’s of great stuff in the works for fall/winter. Until then, Holl at @ ur boyscout!

“MUST HAVES”

October 25, 2010 at 11:28 am

Sup y’all. Hope October’s been treatin you well. I’ve been in the lab real heavy working on finishing the Re: Born Mixtape and my album, “Tomorrow is Today” I took a break from my heavy schedule to see how I was gonna shut cats down again on the shoe tip this fall/winter and I found these:

The Supra TK “Quick Strike” Rising Sun is so fkin amazing I’m damn near at a loss for words. I was about to cop the brown leather Muska Skytop IIs but these Quickstrikes are just too gravity-defying to pass up. Been hunting these down like crazy since they dropped last week. When I get em, the game is over lol.

Knowing me, I’ll prolly still cop the brown leathers on the autumn tip….. ; ) #imjustsayin

The video for my “All I want is You” Freestyle is almost done. Truly groundbreaking work. My director, Paola Angelino, used a combination of stop-motion photography and HD video to create a video unlike anything I’ve seen before. Its art, plain and simple. Not to mention the lemon-drop Gallardo, me getting tatted up on site and a bunch of other fly sh*t. For real, I can’t believe I dropped this much cake and spent this much time on a freestyle video, but its all gonna be worth it. The freestyle alone is groundbreaking by anyone’s standards… Born I Music – All I Want is You (Freestyle) by Born I Music
so it deserves a good video. I think so, at least.

Speaking of videos, props to Kanye for the “Runaway” short film. My freestyle to the Runaway instrumental is on its way and its really something else.

I’m real proud of how the “Re:Born” Mixtape is coming along – its gonna be short, sweet and all around dope. Some of the best writing of my career, hands down. After the mixtape, “Tomorrow is Today“!

Aiight fam until next time, holla @ the kid. If anyone has the hookup on those Quickstrikes get at me lol. I have a feeling they’ll be on my feet in no time tho… I have my sources ; )

Blessings y’all. Shoutout to all my lovers and haters.

Oh yeah thanks for the tons of views for the Conga Drum vid! Keep up the downloads! Shouts to the bloggers.
