Yo, she really exists.
She is so beautiful, but y’all knew that.
I’m still recovering from shock myself. I used to paint to her entire album.
Ten years. Still awe-inspiring.
Say hi to Ashanti, The Mad Violinist.
(A pretty legendary un-dead guy.)
(you can click the picture.)
My dear friend arranged and soloed violin on Lupe’s single from LASERS (dropping March 8, 2011..or so they say). I can’t accurately describe how awesome he really is, because it’s hard finding words for shit like that. BUT.
THE SONG IS IN ITUNES TOP 40 AWWWREADYYYYYY.
Ladies and gentlemen, that there thing below is in FACT the very audio clip of his single “The Show Must Go On”. Ashanti stressed a VERYYYYY important message to me to tell y’all:
Please, buy the music.
It’s $1.29. Run & tell THAT.
I wanna buy it! [here]
“So if I come to your job, take your corn on the cob / And take a couple kernels off it that would be alright with youuuu..” (classic.)
I vaguely remember a blog post I did, kinda sorta revealing a new project I’m working on. I listed an EP set list and err’thang.. and I’m actually kinda happy to inform you all that some shit changed. I first tweeted about my project not having much of a shape but that I would pretty much do my damndest to get it together by January 1.. then this week kinda happened and uh, change of plans.
So after sitting with Mi Corazon (aka I Dont Know If He Wants Me To Name Him So We’ll Say My Friend Who Designs Trill Shit), I let him hear “Boys & Girls” (longer story about that LATER) and he immediately spoke my language and joined my team as chief of imaging epic shit. Then lah-dee-dah, a couple more days go by and I fuck around and meet Grizzly (aka A6 and Prodigal Son), a throwed ass dubstep DJ & rapper who decided that besides my rolling skills being comparable to that of a machine, my songwriting and live violin was definitely fuckwittable.
This is an unofficial addendum to the older blog or whatever I said to promote it: I got people on the shit and it’s going to be a great project. Stay tuned!
