Time for some classic mid 90′s style New York hip-hop. When I was crafting this one, I felt Vincent would destroy this, hence the name “The Van Gogh Heat Rock.” He’s already agreed to unload the heat on this one, so it’s just a matter of time. =] Of course, without the scratches from “Devastator.”

More coming soon!

Promo video, ya dig! =D Makes it real easy to share on Facebook and everywhere else. Hope you guys like it, even though it’s not an actual video where we’re acting everything out. That may happen in the future. Who knows?
Let’s see what the future holds. =]

If you have been following this blog, you’ll notice that the first ten blogs were about this particular song which took almost 2 years to create when you include all the delays (no pun intended) and the different versions and iterations.
Well here is the final song, in all its splendor and glory, [at 96k though, CD quality available from iTunes on March 1, 2010 ;o) ] and I hope you guys like it. Considering it’s the first song where every active MsP member’s voice is on it, this is a very important song to me and one of the ones I’m most proud of. =]
Order of performers:
0. GnP’s Takewun on the prologue.
1. Cocoa
2. DiMpLeZ (MooN ShynE and ADM in the background)
3. K-Maculate
4. Less with a cameo by GNP’s Boy Gnyus yelling “Aiyyo back the f*ck up!”
5. Harmony Speaks (on the walkie-talkie, talking to MooN ShynE)
6. FoRcE oNe
7. Brian Bullion
8. ADM (with MooN ShynE)

Hope you guys like it. =] Remember, to get the CD Quality version, get it on iTunes when it comes out on March 1, 2010 when “Phase 3 – L.Y.R.I.C.A.L. Without Fear” makes its debut.

Half House, Half… Not Too Sure
Tuesday, February 9th, 2010I was just playing around, trying to come up with some different sounds. I ended up with this little catchy thing at 130bpm. The second half of the 16 bar loop sounds like House to me, and the first half sounds like… pop maybe? Not too sure.
Anyway, I’m still trying to find a fresh sound for Phase 4, while keeping to my roots. I’ve still got the Jazz/Swing stuff on tap, as well as some other ideas I want to try. Nothing solidified yet.
I’m guessing part of this is influenced by my visit to Ultra (club in Teaneck, NJ) this past Friday for a birthday party, the fistpumping nature of the Jersey Shore (which I’ve only watched once, and since people make fun of the fistpumping I thought I’d try the music out), and going through some of mine and ADM’s old music in the Chamber[303] days.
It’s nice to not be limited by anything. Hopefully I’ll get some traction, and maybe record a track or two that would be the foundation for my next opus. I don’t want to release anything though until Phase 3 has gotten around for a bit. Remember, it’s coming out March 1, 2010 on iTunes!
Drop comments with your thoughts. ADM might have something to say about this because if that one half isn’t house, I’m sure he’ll let me know. =]
Project inhalOr and Wind Beneath My Wings with Destiny Soprano are both on deck, as well as a few songs from Cocoa.
More to come!
