ADM’s album, “Chamber Waves,” will be coming soon as well, hopefully by the end of the year, as only one more track needs to be completed.

Roll Call ’10 has two songs on the way coming, both Brian Bullion’s and DiMpLeZ’s contributions.  Brian Bullion’s will be a beat he made, which sounds like classic Roc-a-Fella with an STFU twist.  It’ll feature both MooN ShynE and FoRcE oNe.  DiMpLeZ’s will be a club track of the house variety that’s been hitting the clubs in Jersey quite heavily.  “Fistpumping” is the word that comes to mind.  There are previews of both tracks on MsP’s YouTube page.

More coming soon!  Stay tuned!

I’ve addressed those in a different entry that you can read here.

I like Hypersonic 2 (a great multi-instrument VSTi that has been discontinued) as a multi-instrument VSTi, and it has helped me out on different projects. So when Brian Bullion (fellow in-house producer and MsP member) bought a new computer I told him to try it out. Only problem was that we could never be successful in installing it due to the dongle software that was included in the installer. On 64-bit Windows 7 (and more than likely on Vista), it would fail with an error on CLEDX.EXE.

Good thing though is that someone was able to find a way around it, and now we have a version that will install just fine on 64-bit Windows 7 without any issues. It’s in the form of an ISO, RAR’d for a little bit of compression. Just burn the ISO or open it in your favorite CD/DVD Virtual Drive application and run the setup.

You can download this version here.

And also, for those who don’t know, MsP music is not only on iTunes, but now we’re on Amazon as well! So if you’re one of those guys who can’t buy stuff on iTunes, or don’t have an iPod, you can now buy our MP3′s from Amazon.com.

MooN ShynE’s music on Amazon.com can be found by clicking here, and Black and Blue Ink.’s music on Amazon.com can be found by clicking here.

More to come soon, including the release of an ADM album AND a Black and Blue Ink. album before the year’s end, which will both be available on Amazon and iTunes! Stay tuned!

I’m using this upcoming album, “Lyricist Manifesto”, to demonstrate my lyrical prowess. I feel the 1st Black and Blue Ink. self-titled album was our best yet, showing our skills in word play, punch-lines and imagery. Through rational thought, I’m trying to challenge myself to make the Lyricist Manifesto a piece of lyrical art that would supply mainstream hip-hop listeners a more enjoyable experience than what they are subjected to on the radio and in clubs.

I try to listen to what’s playing out there…like kanye, 50, the cash money crew, Dipset,Jay-Z ….what have you…… but nothing catches my attention like a powerful verse supplied by those rippers that I do listen to……. Canibus, jedi mind tricks, rakim, and some lesser known cats. I can put together a good verse that can show I can rhyme in my sleep. But what Moon Shyne and I are trying to do in this next album will be a real treat to the hip-hop fan. I often have lyrical bars coming to me throughout the course of the day. What I do is harness that power till I hit the booth and lyrical magic then occurs. What I ask is from ya’ll is to take your ear-muffs off and pay attention to the power of the Lyricist Manifesto!

God Bless, K-maculate
