The process of writing The Making of Adventures in Counter-Culture has caused me to revisit the album in a way that I never anticipated. Fifteen, songs with fifteen different stories. Yet, writing it reminded me of just how many songs I did that didn’t make the album. I probably did about 75-100 songs, many of which were not good enough to make the album. However, there are another group of songs that were really good, but just didn’t fit the vibe of what I was trying to do. I’ve been revisiting these songs lately, and feel like I can actually put out an album of these songs that is completely different than Adventures in Counter-Culture but really dope. The question is whether you all would be interested in it. It wouldn’t necessarily be “real” album in the traditional sense and it would be primarily for my real fans. That being said, I figured I should ask you guys first.

Please let me know if you would be interested in this.

Thanks for your input.

Considering getting this t-shirt design made soon, but can’t decide on which color scheme I like the best.  Please take a look and vote below.  Thank you.

UPDATE: The forum is back! Register HERE

Many peoples first knowledge of me as an artist was thru the independent label that I ran for several years, Weightless Recordings, and the website weightless.net.  Throughout the years of running the website, the forum was always a very prominent part of it, serving as our own community within the hip-hop community.  Somewhere you could go and interact with some really interesting and funny people about a variety of topics.

Well, at any rate, since I’ve been touring so much in support of Adventures in Counter-Culture I can no longer really run Weightless, so I want to explore the option of bringing the message board/forum to printmatic.net.   I realize that things have changed a lot over the years with more social networking sites like twitter and facebook, and that some people may have either never used forums before or have found other ways to communicate with artists, but there are still a number of sites that have very active forum communities, so I figure it’s worth asking and exploring.

So let me know how you feel:

Thanks!

While working on various video projects this summer, it dawned on me that I should probably have a production company with an actual name.  Not that I’m I’m really a fan of formality and shit like that, but I guess if I’m going to be doing stuff for more people than just myself or my homies I might want to think a little bigger, you know?  So I decided to name it Grand Griot, and I asked my guy to put together some logos for me.  I was having a hard time choosing one so I decided to get some feedback from yall about it.

Please take a look and vote for your favorite one.

Ahh, it’s that time of year–time to tour and time to choose t-shirt designs for tour. This one is a little bit of an easier choice, since it’s one basic design laid out with two different variations. The variation is subtle; the text in one design is laid out horizontally and the other is horizontal, but that subtlety is why I would like to get some votes on it. I’ve got one that’s my favorite, but if you could take a second and let me know what you think by hitting up the poll below it would be greatly appreciated.

So here’s the same design, but laid out horizontally:

Have been thinking about releasing something on cassette, just for my people who actually still have access to tape decks.  Any feedback greatly appreciated:
