Cartoon Beat Emporium
January 5, 2010
CBE is an idea that Jane and I came up with a while ago. Most of the time our TV is on the Food Network or on Cartoon Network, hahaha!
We were having this dope convo about all the illest cartoon shows back in the day– so we made a huge list. Meanwhile, I was trying to figure out how to approach my instrumental project. So I decided to put the two ideas together.
All I’m doin is choppin old cartoon videos, muting the volume and adding my beats as back drop music. The cartoon really has nothing to do with the beat. LOL!
I bet your wondering how it ties together? Well, when I was younger I shared a bedroom with my older brother, Mac. Saturday mornings I wanted to watch cartoons and he would wanna bang the radio! So moms would make me mute the TV so he could hear the radio. The result: me watching Scooby Doo while listening to Rakim, De La Soul, Tribe, EPMD, NWA, Doug E. Fresh…ect.
I love my brother, so in a weird way this is kind of an ode to him, for influencing me. So while you’re jammin to these joints, you can thank him.

It’s interesting how people always wanna start life out new on January 1. Life doesn’t start over people! Be thankful for ur daily bread. At times I feel that wants override faith and needs. Nobody lives forever– and nothing is promised. So enough with the “2010 is mine” and the “maaaan I’m on it in 2010″–Just live & pray for the moment… Cause your only worth what you have used for the day.
I love y’all and will continue to contribute and pump soul into my art untill I can’t–
Dont get it twisted though! I am very thankful for all my blessings this year. Stik figa and i created an amazing album with “hello goodbye” and got some eyes looking in on our city. Also the homie Outasight got a major label deal with Warner Bros. So the chips are lining up and falling in place.

OutaWill Sessions (freEP)
December 7, 2009
1st of i wanna say what an honor…2dopeboyz have been holding me down and pushing me for about 2 years now. On some real shit– this site has been career changing. Knowing that thousands of people will click and preview/download my art is part of my motivation. Often i get emails from fans saying they found me on 2db– and that shit makes me get into the lab asap. when i first was featured on the site it was amazing cause i was “2dope to sleep on” and the track that got posted was “the seen”– it got a couple hundred downloads, then i decided to hit um with my “on & on ” badu remix and that junt did 30k and counting!– after that i was like YO people are checking for me and i dont wanna let um down. And thats basically my mindset while in the studio– make dope shit cause dope people deserve it.
No matter where my career lands me i will owe alot to shake & meka over at 2dopeboyz.com
The latest is an EP, Meka did for me and my man Outasight– its called the OutaWill sessions– its just a collection of past joints that i produced for OU. A couple of the joints date back as much as 2 years– hope yall enjoy!

Hello Goodbye break down
December 2, 2009
I am very happy that people are responding to HG, cause we didnt really expect for heads to be checkin for it! From a production standpoint i just wanted the record to show my range as a producer, and also be open enough for stik to shine through. Producing full lengths albums are very tough because you dont wanna have the album sounding like mush to where every joint is exactly like track # 1 on the disc.
While working on the joint i listend to lots of madlib and the college drop out lp… not for inspiration for the album– but cause thats the type of mood i was in for about 4 months. Had to keep it soulful and im glad i finally click up with the homie stik– back in 2005 we met and chopped about doing a project but never did.
Im back to work in the lab on tracks– that will hopefully land on One be lo album, and Outasights projects ++ Battery Effect 2 and a follow up to hello goodbye
For my free ringtone (soultone #004) im going to make it a instrumetal from hello goodbye– let me know which one yall want!! And ill make it happen
thank you all so much
