A few months back when we released Electric Purgatory Part Two I went on facebook and asked if anybody would be interested in us putting together some videos where we talk about the creative process and the making of the project. Pretty much everybody was in favor of it, so Illogic and I started shooting. Now that I’m home from tour I finally I was able to put the first video together.
Our goal is to do one for each song on the EP assuming people like it or find it informative and/or entertaining. If you haven’t checked out the EP yet, listen here: Continue reading
“The Spin Cycle” – from Electric Purgatory Part Two by Greenhouse
A dollar’s hard to earn
The drama’s hard to kill
Even if you got God you gotta guard your grill
Times is hard
With or without a job it’s ill
People standing outside like it’s a fire drill
Just a consequence of living in a modern world
Cash rules so people bow to the dollar bill
Might stab you in the back
holler at your girl
They rap about make-believe, package it, then call it real
Major labels crying foul
Saying nothing sells Continue reading
My latest project, titled Blueprint Who is now available. It is an EP that’s about 25 minutes in length, and it will only be sold on tour and here at printmatic.net. It will not be available on i-tunes or anything like that due to me not wanted to be sued out of house and home for sampling what I want to sample. Plus, i-tunes takes out too high of a percentage anyways, but that’s another story altogether.
There are THREE versions available. Pick your poison:
#1. CD VERSION
The Blueprint Who CD version is $4.99 plus shipping. It starts shipping on Tuesday Sept 7th and comes with a FREE 11×17 poster (see below poster image) and the instrumentals to all songs. Use the add to cart button to pick it up.
#2. DELUXE DIGITAL VERSION:
The Deluxe Digital Version of Blueprint Who will come with 1) all instrumentals, 2) a PDF file of the artwork, and 3) the music video for the song “Dream Big”. This version is also $4.99. To order the delux digital version just select the “BUY NOW” button from the below audio player:
#3. FREE DIGITAL VERSION
The Free Digital Version of Blueprint Who will not include any of the extra stuff above, and the price is determined by what you decide to pay for it. You can pay $0, $1, $2.75, $5, $10, etc. It’s up to you. There will be a price field that defaults to zero, and whatever price you enter will be the price paid for it. The file is still encoded at 320 kbps and the download process is exactly the same. To order this version just click the “Download” button on the audio player below:

p.s. the To All My Friends tour starts today.
There are times when everybody has moments of self-doubt. Lord knows I’ve had mine.
But it seems like every time that self-doubt starts to get the best of me I’m brought back to reality by the people that have allowed me to do this in the first place–the fans. Whether it’s one person or a room full of people, the result is the same–you are humbled and reminded why you go through what you do–because you love doing it, and because the people who support you give you the encouragement to continue.
Well, this weekends show at the Hip-Hoppers Holiday event in St. Louis was another one of those moments when I was reminded why it’s all worth it: Continue reading
Well, we finally wrapped up shooting for the “Radioinactive” music video on Monday night. My job as a rapper is done, and now it is the hands of Bangland media to turn our vision into a reality, then turn that reality over to the good folks at Rhymesayers Entertainment. Here’s some a few more pics from the last part of the shoot for you all to check out. I’m pretty excited about this one getting finished.

For those who live in Columbus or the surrounding area, I’ll be playing a set this Friday August 6th @ Carabar in Columbus Oh. The show is free and all ages are welcome. The show is in celebration of Carabar’s 5-year anniversary, and there are a few other bands playing as well. If you know about Carabar, then you probably know the owner Ron, who will be DJing for me that night. Since i imagine this will be a pretty fun event, I’m going to try out a few new songs from the upcoming album, and see how they work in a live setting.
If you’re in the area I hope to see you out.
