“Okay”player review
August 13, 2009
Making music is the best gift that god could have ever given to me! I create art to inspire and motivate people to do the same with their talents, so normally i don’t read full reviews of my work. Jane hooked it up with okayplayer so Battery Effect could be a feature review so i had to read what they had to say. This is my second review on okayplayer so i was so pumped!! Alot of people cant even say that they have been on the site. Any way man…the review in my eyes was exactly right– the record was too short and i had to many guest verses…for a solo joint i shoulda put more of “me” on the record. She called it a heat check and it was very much that– ive been with so blessed with opportunities to produce for amazing emcees, and want to continue to challenge myself to be a better artist. Rapping is something that i do because i dont wanna bottle my feelings– its a fun way to connect with the listener to be more blatant rather than speaking through the beat.
Obviously producing is my ace although i dont feel like i have in no way mastered it– i have created my own style and can get the sounds i hear in my head out and into the mpc and into your ears. Writing is a challenge…my girlfriend is a columnistfor our city paper so watching and hearing about her creative process helps me relax and start my verses. I have been feeling so lost about what to do artistically. I work better when i focus and organize my energy. Do i focus on beats for Outasight, work on an very unorganized RTL project, hit and miss with my homie Izmore or do i do a mixtape. For the past couple of nights my poor jane has been having to listen to me like a broken record debate about what imma do– Ive been writing so many bars and been making some heater beats so………im going all in– not holding back– Battery Effect 2 (The Anti-Hero Corp.) starting……NOW
Big shouts and a super thanxs to Heather Faison for the honest and uplifting review! read her review HERE

In the studio with the homie Les Izmore last night, and the session was pretty amazing. Love working with Les cause he is such an artist and we really push each other to be better artists. As much attention as I give to the total production, Les gives that to the recording process.
I love doing albums cause there’s so much artistic merit involved. Like writing a book or movie with a friend it makes the possibilities endless. Like I’ve been shouting for about 2 months– RTL is gonna be amazing but this Les Izmore album will be right up ther with it.
I’m getting the rap itch again so imma continue this mixtape that I started before the battery effect– it’s called “the bonus round” prolly got close to 10 joint ready for it now so imma gon draw up a plan of action!
INK reviews Battery Effect
July 29, 2009
I get so nervous when people review my art because i make it with no intentions to please. I am so happy that my city is supporting me and taking notice of the art i provide for it. This review is exactly my mind state while making this record and it is so awesome to know that people are feeling the same way i was while making it. Its not a happy record. Battery Effect is the truth, and sometimes the truth comes with a smile but in most cases it doesnt. I work my butt off to make quality music and im just so happy that people understand me and want more!!

What up yall!? I had to take a lil break from bogging and get my head on straight. I moved into my new apartment and its shaping up pretty dope. So much is going on in the world right now. From MJ to Mcnair to the dope shit like roc the bells! I been working on this RTL album we got about 7 songs knocked out already…shit is gonna be incredible.
Big shouts to the kansas city tribune they did a nice lil write up for ya boy on some north of the river type shit– it was dope. Gotta love it when your own city respects your art! It makes me feel amazing…especially knowing that my general mindset back in 2000 was just to create dope music.
Enough with the jabber– Im back..imma try and update a 3 times a week so tell all your homies!!
