Earlier this year, in a freak accident, I had my face caught in a record press, which freakishly mauled my appearance, frightened my loved ones, & sent me into seclusion. When I finally emerged, I had concocted a new remedy for which I now prescribe to you…

“Its the intelligent YZE on the mic!”
Dope video shot during YZE’s performance @ Neumo’s earlier this year. Also on the bill that night were Gabriel Teodros w/ Khingz & DJ Wd4d, and headlining was K’NAAN. A little mix of footage from the performance sprinkled with interview segments.
Gotta shout out the incredible ensemble of musicians that YZE brought together for her backing band:
Peace & Much respects to Patrick on guitar, Corey rockin’ the hell outta that Ninja Turtles drum kit!, Zach on keys, ORB, and my MPC! Also, much thanx to Zach’s dad for the use of his church so we could practice for this show.
From WD4D:
The “In Fere” songs are some really moody, melancholy stuff that I made w/o the use of samples. A collaboration with a classically trained opera singer, a harpist, & an interpretive dancer. Some video of the performance if you’re curious. This is actually some of the best footage I have of myself scratching:

Peace&Respects to Khalil aka Khingz.
A very inspirational, genuine, true speaking soul, not to mention simply just a FILTHY EMCEE! Soak in the video here, if you don’t believe! Real Talk…Enjoy…then act like you already knew!
Happy Belated Bornday to the Homie Khalil!

Put that “Slaveships To Spaceships” album in your ears 2day!
I’m getting one of these…
Even though this really does sound like Charlie Brown’s teacher singing Gnarls Barkley, its still pretty filthy! Check holmes rocking the MPC 1000! ha!
Just when you think you got some fuckin’ “donuts” in your lil’ tackle box…DJ Muro attacks!! This video, to me, is yet another example of why he’s crowned King Of Diggin’! Mucho uppers to DJ Muro! Microphone Pager still gets steady bumpage!
*video does eventually get into focus, and sound quality is shit, but hey baby, I LIKE IT RAW! deal with it…*
Peace & Much thanx to Rick & everybody @ Rainbo Records (they pressed Vinyl Vixens!). Putting in another order soon!
If theres another one of these next year, might have to roll out and spend some time in a place I hear is literally ‘hotter-than-Hell’ (Arizona, that is). Lotta knowledge to soak up, for those seeking. Can’t front on that cat Billboard either, peep that beat that has 9th Wonder, Just Blaze, AND Pete Rock going bonkers asking for an encore (around 11:00)!
“Ajouter Essence” FALL 2006″
Been sitting on this tape for a minute, only made a handful to hand out within the circle (which now includes YOU!), but figured it was only fitting this time to share. 3 years later I know, but all the music is still relevant, cuz I only deal with the Timeless essence.
So, Watch as the leaves fall, time drifts, scenery passes and go’s like the breeze, and changes come. Its your choice to welcome it or not…Peace&Enjoy!
