Special Recommendation!

To Hannibal King (that's his real name).

Below is his mixtape, well i should call it Album because i know he worked EXTRA HARD to make this happen. I never met him personally, at least i don't think because it's crazy how we're connected through several people. Here's the ironic story. When i started recording around the age of 15 i recorded at this kid Jay's studio (J Conway) to be exact. He started a group called 4DaGreen in College Point/Whitestone with a couple people that i knew. Formally this kid named Ism, who'se sister Jessica Cabellero went to school with me. Ism real name is John, we use to play ball all the time and on the low i kinda looked up to him. I thought we were kind of alike. Anyway, Hannibal use to be a part of the 4DaGreen group and knew the producer/egineer that would hold our sessions @ J Conway's studio. Wild. I actually bought the 4DaGreen mixtape they were selling but unfortunately due to a fall out Hannibal was not on the final product, rapping or producing. After this he just focused on producing. Now this is even crazier, he went to Towsend Harris. Where a friend of mine, Vanessa Ng, who also dated David Reyes in 8th grade went to. I talked to her about a month or two ago and found out she has been dating this guy for the past 2 years. Next thing i know i see this cover on 2dopeboyz and am like WTF. that's crazy (and good crazy). J Conway is actually on the project as well if you take a look at the track list.

Now i hit him up and facebook and long story short hopefully in the near future we will be linking up to create some dope, new, oldschool hip-hop. He seems like a real honest dude and his production is pretty hot. I personally havent YET heard the WHOLE project but so far i'm impressed. Makes me more eager. Anyway, so basically to show gratitude for him even talking to me and considering link up i'm going to promote his work. That's how i feel is the only way i can repay him and it is a nice gesture period. He doesn't know i'm doing this of course (at least not yet) which is okay because it's out of love. Just the way i did for the Weiners, who i hope are also doing better :).

So check it out, please. I will edit this entry once i write a small review on it. (why?) Because i can. Holla!

Revisitation Rights

Today I only have about 2 and a quarter days worth of time on floridian soil. This makes me melancoly. I think I want 2 be here more than I want to go back to new york. Which is extrememly wierd to be honest. Never thought I would feel this way. Miss my mom a lot. Love being here with her and my sisters. It feels right. Like real right. It's how it is suppose to be, ya know. Mom siblings, beautiful weather. Pool. Beaches. Yea allll that good stuff lol.

I've really had an incrediable time here so my analysis before I leave will help make how I feel more understandable. I feel free here. If I were to learn how to drive n adopt a bit more, florida wouldn't be such a bad place to live. Ya know? So I guess we'll see what my future has in store. :)

Anyway, when I get back I have a full month of summer grinding. Tons of money to spend/make, tons of music to record/perform, and basketball to play. :) my bball team in Brooklyn actually made it to the championship and the coach has been holding if so I can play. That's a big honor right there. I miss being THAT appreciated by anybody. I did get a couple text messages that made me feel good today. Hopefully all the plans become reality. :) ya dig?

Tomorrow I wanna go hang out with my mom, this kid chris, say goodbye to the CVS people and schedule my next two days out. Once I wake up, gotta plan and fit everything in. Including the packing lol. Hmmm...so I'm excited to see what a real (florida) studio is like. Cross your fingers people.

Let's keep the positive going. Anybody who reads this please leave a comment. Doesn't have to be about the entry but I want to hear what positive things have happen to you this week :) let me know! :) I love yall.

P.S. Beat Resident Evil 5 in 6 days. Whoooooo!!

Re-energize

All the titles I'm going to use are going contain re in it somehow. For this rebirth of positive, creative, and constructive lifestyle I'm going to live. I guess in the words of charles hamilton I'm trying to live "this perfect life."

Damn, I really would like to work with the people he works with. I wanna do a song with him and charles and show. I have the money but I can't be spending that kind of money. :(

Okay, sooo music, music, music. I'm going to the studio tonight with Mike probably not recording anything but hopefully I can make some music. You know what's crrrrraaazzzzy I never realized how many fucking songs I have in my notebook, on my computer and in my blackberry. I probably have like 4 mixtape worth of materials but I just need at least one to come out. Ya dig?

I wanna start jamyoung.blogspot.com so I'll keep this as for my inner thoughts and keep the other one for...lol I don't know just feel like it could be the main blog probably is I have a song called "itsallgoodevenwhenitaint" which basically promotes this blog with A LOT of personal shit. But whatever right?

I'm a put the link to show tufli's new project. I'm waiting on 50cent's street album dropping at eleven tonight.YOOOOOO I'm mad excited about this 50's new project. No features. Ten tracks. Concept is dope. Could 50 Cent be back to his old ways aka good music? I hope fucking soo.

My goal for next week 3 sessions at the studio for a possible 3 hours each session. I'm going in and dropping MAD shit. Going hard. Fuck everything else. I listen to myself and don't really hear or see the big deal but I have to really believe in myself and grind hard. Sooo let's do this.

And thanks Jayo cause I understand a lil more now about flowing. I respect it. That's why you sounded mad ill on party and bullshit. I'm a lyrisct and I think that's why pick it up isn't picking it up. It's cause of the flow. LYRICALLY that track is ill "shawty the way you moving, I'm diggin it
Wanna treat you like a minor, and "dig in it"
But I ain't no minor when I'm spitting it
Or when I'm souring up your ligaments, yea I'm feeling it"

Haha.

Okay so I know I have to work on the flow but c'mon listen to my lyrics motherfuckers. I'm a be a pppprrrroooobbbblllleeeemmmm. And I don't really use hood metaphors I use like complex shit.

"shhhh I am it, take away the I am, that's me, the shit.
Get it?"

Soo anyway and I gotta work out next week for sure. Cause I know I'm getting fat and I'm wasting time n what not. So monday I'm back on my grizzzy as for everything. This week is more social and the warm-up (J. Cole!) Haha

Okay won the basketball yesterday but like 16. I had 8 points. 3/4 shooting. I am a scorer. I just need to prove Ít.

Later...till tonight

Letter to my future girl...

Flowers, candy, everything you deserve
Shelter, water, even the L word

Once I mean it, feel it, everything I do will be our secret, just keep on the secret, until I take it off
So I can treat you like a kit kat and break it off

Never go soft when I'm with ya, never a real loss when I'm with ya, ying to my yang, yes baby I fit cha, even the seconds your gone, I miss ya

It's really ridiculous, especially when we fuss and cuss over nothing important
But arguments, can't avoid it
And your heart can't avoid this, there's a void, if you ain't my miss, anybody hurt you, they on my hit list
the world is my witness, to my testament of love
the test is when I can put nothing above, you

Not the clouds or the sky, cause they are your pillows when you sleep

And I will be your warmth, your sheets,
Our bond is deeper than an obis
Deeper than the blond when I slice my wrist

Cause it always heals back.

And what's true is what I feel for you
Because I know if another man touched you
I would kill for you,
I hope that's real for you

Just know...

I will always try my hardest, even if I'm not not the smartest, or can't provide you a real big house with a garden
But I can commit to a promise or promises, of continous lovely shit, that no other man can ever give

Even when I'm broke and down on my self
I will take care of your health and provide you anything else...

Mainly the little things that get overlooked
Not the fancy resturants that are overbooked

So let me steal your heart like a valentine's day crook

And cook you up, a life of perfection

Just tell me if this letter is going the right direction

...

Actions speak louder than words so let me show you
