Meetings & Wal-Mart Shopping

Dude I need to wash my hair! LOL. I've been walking walking around with a puffy pony tail for the lasr two (2) days.
I had a meeting with a producer to hear some tracks that he created. On the CD he played, there were seven (7) joints which were hot but only two (2) of those seven (7) beats fit the mode of what I'm doing with my album. I'm considering to buy those beats b/c I have a banger in mind for them. Yes Yes!

I went to Wal-Mart because they had a sale going on some juices and I bought a couple of other things. Now it's time to get ready for '09.

Trying To Find Inspiration

I'm sitting down at the table trying to work on editing this video with blocked creativity for Definite. Swag, a party promotion company. Granted I have a week to finish it but I am drawing blanks right now.

I've been scouring the Internet for the past two (2) hours looking for inspiration but nothing has come out of it so now I'm left with plan b; to eat something, take a 20 minute break, kiss my girl, and get back to work (this always work).

Happy Holidays To All

Man it has been a long day from waking up to the sound of presents being unwrapped to eating my girlfriend's awesome dinner and watching "The Dark Night". All I have to say is my stomach is full and my head hurts and I'm about to call it a night. Merry Christmas to those that celebrate it, Happy Kwanzaa to those that celebrate it, and Happy Holidays to everyone.

Most Underrated Group YET!!!

I've been a fan of The Clipse since their debut in the industry but I must admit that I did fall off from listening to their music until recently I've been re -tracking and following their anticipation for their third album "Till The Casket Drops".

The Clipse are very cleaver when it comes to their rhymes and their flow is awesome. Granted The Clipse content is based on drugs A LOT, but to me their talent that they possess balances out the excessive drug talk. This group made me rewind the track to hear what Pusha and Malice said. Lately no one has had an effect on me like that.

The tracks below displays their skills as MC's in Hip-Hop

Hard Work In Motion

I am getting ready for my first show in the New Year of 2009. It's a blessing to have this opportunity to share my music with others in a form of performing. The picture to the left is the flyer for the showcase. www.westendartsscene.blogspot.com


Lately everything has been crazy busy (in a good way) getting things in place to launch my career. It takes a lot to work on a great song to turn around in the same breath to work on a marketing plan for yourself. I'm happy that I am able to do those things and to obtain great experience by doing it but at times I do just want to be an artist and work on writing, producing, and creating but I am what I say I am....a "Well rounded artist and businessman"

((((((NEED HELP))))))

I'll be posting some new information in the near future in reagrds to positions for anyone that's interested in working in the music industry, contributing creative ideas, and being apart of a unique team working towards a commmon goal.

FALL SEMESTER IS DONE

I'm going into my fourth semester in college this January and I'm so stoked about the doors of opportunities that are open to me. Yesterday (Tuesday 16, 2008) was my last day of final exams and anxieties of doing extremely well. Last semester was my most intense semester of all because of the in depth work I did for my classes this semester; I worked on a Marketing Plan, Promotion & Publicity (on myself LOL), Workshop Presentations, and lastly but not forgotten the difficult tests. It feels good now that I'm on Christmas Break and I have the time to relax and channel my focus to my music and other ideas surrounding music. I'M FREE!!!

I want to inform you guys that I'm really thinking about having my own website (SWEET). I'm still deciding if a website for recording artists are relevant when we live in a world where social networking sites are kicking ass in the Internet market (WOOO). Whatever I choose it would be sweet.

Periodically check Youtube.com/DanamiTV to see videos that I'll be posting in the near future. I'm about to go back to work, YES I have a job dude it's a recession out here. Make something happen!


Peace
