It’s been almost two months since the release of my mixtape, Spring Cleaning and I have been relatively quiet as far as releases, updates, etc so, I wanted to bring everyone up to speed and get people prepared for the next few projects that are coming out.  First off, Spring Cleaning has been receiving incredible feedback and has over 250K downloads from Frostwire and Frostclick.  That is INSANE.  I want to give a big shout out and a special thanks to everyone at Frostwire and Frostclick for making Spring Cleaning such a success.  First off, if you don’t know, last year, me and fellow emcee, Pete Sayke formed a group called Grumpy Old Men.  Basically, last October, we got together to work on some music, ended up making it a weekly thing and decided to do a whole album.  After the music started coming out CRAZY, we decided to form a group called Grumpy Old Men.  We finished our first album, Sunday Skool and it is currently being mixed by Ill Brown.  I have heard several mixed down tracks and they sound incredible.  Both me and Pete are really excited to get the music out there.  I featured a couple of our songs, Twin Bed Romping, Pulpit and Fly Away on the Spring Cleaning mixtape to give everyone a taste of how the music is coming along.  Sunday Skool should be coming out in late summer around when school comes back in session.  We have been performing around Chicago and been receiving great feedback.  We should be releasing more music very soon.

For my two solo albums which I have mentioned several times, Have You Seen My Stapler? with SLOT-A and Paid Time Off with Phys Edison, they are both pretty much done.  PTO is in the process of getting mixed and putting finishing touches on some things.  Stapler is about 2 or 3 songs away from being completed and then we will be getting it mixed ASAP too.  I’m hoping to release Stapler by the end of the year or early next year and Paid Time Off for spring/summer next year.  In the meantime, stay tuned for more updates and check out both of my mixtapes The Prize Package Volume 1 and Spring Cleaning.  Grumpy Old Men will be performing more shows around Chicago and hopefully a couple festivals around the US this fall.  Check out a Grumpy Old Men exclusive, Fly Away from the Spring Cleaning mixtape below.

I know it seems like I just dropped my mixtape, The Prize Package Volume 1 but I got the opportunity to link with Frostwire and Frostclick to do an exclusive mixtape for their site and their torrent downloading program. If you recall, back in 2009, Frostwire and Frostclick featured my debut album, Sunday Drive and it received A LOT of love and over 81,000 downloads. So, when they asked me about doing an exclusive project, I couldn’t pass up the opportunity and had to show the love back. This time, I put together a mixtape called Spring Cleaning, which features 19 tracks of old and new material from each of my projects since Sunday Drive. I have songs from Love Potion Number 9th, Mike Murder, Stanley Ipkiss, The Prize Package Volume 1, Sunday Skool with Pete Sayke and Have You Seen My Stapler? with SLOT-A. It is basically a history lesson about my music and has some new, unheard stuff. Spring Cleaning went live yesterday so, go over to Frostwire and Frostclick to download it. The link is below as well as the track list and a snippet of the post on Frostclick.com

Why do Fridays feel better every single week?????  I have to shout out my guy, Heath O’Campo, who does all my artwork, for encouraging me to REvisit Wu Tang’s album, Iron Flag.  I skimmed through it this past weekend and decided for “Classic Shit Fridays,” I would check it out again.  I honestly don’t remember much about this album other than Uzi(Pinky Ring), which of course is ill.  I have to say, I am pleasantly “surprised” with this album because I don’t remember it being this dope.  My shit is Babies.  The beat is sick and has a “Can It Be So Simple” feel to it.  It’s some real shit too.  I had a tough time this morning though putting in Iron Flag when I just got my hands on Wu-Massacre and Erkyah Badu’s new album last night.  I’ll save those for this weekend though.  I also want to reassure everyone that I was in the lab last night with SLOT-A working on Have You Seen My Stapler?, and we got another banger called I Got Work.  The shit is SICK.  Happy Friday to everyone.  Enjoy your weekend.  Here is some Wu Shit, Babies from Iron Flag.  Next week Wu-Massacre drops so, go buy that shit.

Classic Shit Fridays is moving right along, this time with one of the illest dudes from Atlanta, T.I.  I took a back to his 2nd album, Trap Muzik, which most people probably consider a certified classic.  T.I. really gets doper every time I hear him.  Dude is SUPER underrated in terms of lyrical abilities.  Trap Muzik is really dope because it’s before the whole nation and the pop world really got a hold of T.I.’s music.  He is still pretty underground as far as not catering to mainstream radio.  Trap Muzik has two joints produced by Kanye before he was Kanye, which is refreshing to hear as well.  He has the anthems that he is known for as well.  It’s just a reall well done album.  Today, I’m really feeling Look What I Got.  It’s one of the joints where, even if your rolling a 99 Civic or and 88 Corolla, you feel like your shit is on 24′s and your pockets are fatter than (insert a hefty person’s name here).  I want to make sure that all of you underground heads listen to Trap Muzik because T.I. can rap better than most of your favorite underground emcees.  If your worried about content, listen to Doin’ My Job produced by Kanye West.  I want to wish everyone a Happy Fly/Flannel Friday.  Me and Phys Edison are hitting the studio this evening to work on Paid Time Off.  Me and SLOT-A are in the studio Saturday working on Have You Seen My Stapler??  Also, I am dropping two remixes next Wednesday, so stay tuned.
