Simple me, I know that much. I guess I'm still growing into myself, still finding out who I am. I'll have to get back to you on that.

New Work | Feel Good [Beat Tape]
This is my summer proposal for your ears and iPods. Another beat tape inspired by women, some of my happier tracks compiled together. Not sure of a drop date, but could honestly release it tomorrow if I felt like it. Will keep you posted.
A$AP Rocky | Keep It G
Instrumental Off my “this is just how I feel today” playlist. I definitely have listened to the instrumental more times than the song.
New Work | Jasmine Guy
By World’s Fair (Nasty Nigel, Lansky Jones, and Prince Samo), produced by myself. Glad I got to work with some more of my friends. Lessons learned; my beats aren’t as shitty as I feel they are, and I need a beat name.
Listen to Thallus
Always good to here from the brother, Johann. This time he hit me with his new stuff that I have to share with you. It’s an amazing tape, download it on his Bandcamp.
New Beat | The Reminder
Something new I made after getting over my creative block. I was going to drop another tape, but I’m contemplating in light of recent events. I’ll let you know.
It takes a little time to update my blog, so there is always at least a 3 day discrepancy from the date of what ever it is I’ve been doing. Still busy, lot of stuff in the works. I feel talking about it will jinx the whole thing.
One of my designs got ripped off by a major brand. I can’t talk about it until there is an all clear. I could be sad, angry, or frustrated about the whole thing, but here is how I see it; I’m the little nxgga, and if I get rip off, I must be doing something right. It does give me this uncomfortable feeling about most of my work that out there, but I can’t fret it at this point.
Had one of those life evaluating weekends recently, and I have come to a realization. Glad I did, felt sad enough to make some music about women. I tend to most creative at points of despair, and heart ache. My bitterness helps with inspiration. I’ll be posting some of my work in a sec.
Aaron LaCrate played a wicked set Thursday Night. Too bad his sound was heard towards the end of the event, everyone was jamming on their way out.

Beastie Boys - Sabotage
I think this was one of the first Beastie Boys songs I heard getting off the plane from Nigeria. Still sounds awesome. RIP to Adam Yauch.
T-World x Reed Space Magazine Launch
Thursday night, I found myself at Reed Space with the rest of my co-workers for the launch of t-worlds magazine. It was cool, great atmosphere for networking. Only thing is, If you’ve ever heard me talk about reed space, you know exactly how nervous that place makes me feel. Only got a few pictures, caught some of the grow folks talking. Check them out on my flickr.
Queen Latifa - U.N.I.T.Y (Instrmntl)
Produced by Kay Gee (Naughty By Nature) & Mufi. Off the “I feel kinda jazzy today” playlist. The sax on this is fxcking sexy.
