    What A Night
    Chapter 7: Kalamazoo, MI

    Between 2003 and 2005, Kalamazoo, Michigan became one of the most supportive cities of my music. It all started when Western Michigan University’s student-operated radio station, WIDR FM, began putting the Soul Position Unlimited EP and my production album The Weight Room in regular rotation.  Unlike most college radio stations—whose programming is directed entirely at the student-body—WIDR’s show programming and events calendar garnered the support of the entire community and the surrounding area.

    Chapter 10 – Seattle, WA

    In 2006, I began working on my sophomore album, Adventures in Counter-Culture.

    CHAPTER FOUR: NEW YORK CITY, NY

    There was a point in my life, between 2002 and 2004, that I became very interested in stand-up comedy.  At first I was a fan like everybody else—renting the most popular comedy specials and watching them anytime they were on television—but soon my interest grew more intense.  Fortunately, I didn’t have to start my comedy collection from scratch; I was a hip-hop producer, which meant I already owned a decent amount of comedy albums on vinyl.  I began revisiting these older albums from comedians like Richard Pryor and Steve Martin, listening to them with a completely different ear and appreciation.  Eventually, my favorite comedians made their way out of my house and onto my MP3 player, just as any great album would.
