Mike Swift "Uso Na Ang Peace" (DIOS FLOW Freestyle)

 photo WHAT-1_zps5603a627.jpg




Mike Swift flexing his muscles today, still one of the most lethal in this land.



I'm sure by now you've seen the picture floating around - with Mike, D-Coy, Dello, Loonie and Chi-nigg. Mike told me it was inevitable and that's what progress makes you do. Happy to see fans and even people from both camps express encouragement. I for one - have my hesitations, peace - isn't for everyone but once you commit to it, understand what it means. I wish everyone success, and to do right by right. We all have villains that either exist on our way to succeed or lives within.

Applying pressure in the game is an art form.

Mark Fiasco "Dear Summer EP" (Free Download)

 photo MARKFIASCODEARSUMMER_zps8aab967b.jpg





One of the thrills of being a fan of the game is discovering new acts -- I came across Mark Fiasco's work yesterday and I might say, I'm pretty impressed. His 7 song EP "Dear Summer" boasts of great beats, rhymes and collaborations with other producers and even the likes of Curse One. And while the scene is filled with Producer/Lyricists - I think this kid, Mark Fiasco is on his way to becoming one with great balance. While the soulful beats and rhymes will remind you of how Kanye and J.Cole both started out, its quite apparent that with a few more projects and if he spends more time in his beats - he will be a household name sooner than you think. I like his ear for samples and the way its chopped up are better than most.

Happy Mother's Day to you, from me and my entire team.




Thank you to the mothers of the world who have nurtured their children with all they have.




SOULFIESTA 2009: As we celebrate our holy mothers birthday today during September Madness -- we are imparting to you this masterpiece. To every hiphop head still bumping Pac's "Dear Mama", this ones for you. I made this beat at Chrizo's studio, messing around a Faith Evans song, and a Keyshia Coles acapella off of DJ Jena's collection of records. Chrizo was taking a shower and I did this beat quick and put it in my thumb drive before going through what we had to do for the day.

God's Will's part was done first. I know he hasn't done a song like this at that time so I irked him to do a verse for his mom -- as they were about to be reunited in Japan. Matt was a couple of weeks from leaving Pinas to work in Japan. Right before he left, Mike had a brilliant idea to bang out a Three Kings CD and so it was a no brainer to let them add to this song. I remember having Mike, Nimbus, Sunny, Nixx and some other guys in the studio. Everybody was amped to hear the outcome. And everybody at this time was dealing with their mom's in different shades. Mike was writing, sitting on my studio couch, Nimbus was inside the bathroom, seated at the toilet using the sink as a table. And me and the rest were just outside talking things out.
