Delewrites - Sample The Fragrance EP

By | Published 8 Sept 2012

Sometimes we don't pay much attention to the things that happen directly infront of us, and the rippling of the curtain.

Usually when I hear head-bopping beats backing the tantrums of a poet, its RAP or Hip Hop, where the beat is usually more important than what is actually being said.
Not in this case.
This is SPOKEN WORD. 
Words spoken to 
re-create images, 
rewind memories, 
revitalise minds, 
reconcile thoughts with reasoning.

This mixtape is so cleverly created.
Takes my mind to its senses and screws my neck on tight.

Released and downloaded on Aug 30th. Played everyday since.

This is most definitely an essential for EVERY iTunes... And its even FREE!


Tracklist

1. Intro (Freedom) by STEALTH
2. What's in my Locker

...But joy cometh in the morning. [[Psalms 30:5]]


=D
I've managed to book an appointment at my local Apple to fix this broken wretch of an iTouch. It has exceeded 2 months now since I've been able to use my beloved device. 

I remember the moment the screen refused to turn on. I was there. It was there. WE were there. In my old living room at The 100. I woke and arose to do my usual of engulfing a cerea-us (see that wordplay on serious and cereal ?=P Nifty right?)... en route to the kitchen, I unlocked the 32gb iTouch and did the usual: check emails, check scramble with friends, calendar, notes, and then Instagram. After a minute or so I checked the battery - atrociously low - charge that. Charger was in the living room, (how convenient =D) so I reached over and plugged in. Clicked the unlock button to see it was working then... BLAP! 
Silently, in the space of time taken for the top eyelid to do a clean swipe of the eyeball to the bottom eyelid, the screen went black.
I do not have pictures of my face at the time, but the emotions I can remember sort of went like this:

=|
=|
"wake up"
=|
=(
"please"
=(
"I need you"
='((((

A month or 2 after that devastating moment, I was en route work. I was running late so I just stashed my itouch in the front pouch of my Herschel Heritage backpack...
But I didn't zip it up.

-__-



And I planned that day to book my Genius bar appointment
!FRICK!

---------------------------------------------------------

I missed that appointment lol (not surprising)
So I booked another one.
Missed that.
So I booken ANOTHER.
Later today at 12:10 pm
The time is now 02:05 am

God Help Me to Help Myself.
Amen.

Well... He's back.


Best tracks so far for me:

Long time no see (from the Apple Store, Leicester)

By | Published 31 Aug 2012



Hello hello,

Tis been a while...

This is just a quick one, informing you guys of posts to come.

I've just pulled into work 30mins earlier than I'm meant to and I'm not at all pleased with myself.
My time management skills are just disintegrating and its pissing me (and others) off.

I've developed a habit of missing trains, being too much on time for work and even failing to meet my own deadlines.

Its terrible.
I need prayer.

But in other news...
I've been playing my guitar, getting into it and all sorts.
I must've checked youtube the other day and clocked I had over 1,000 views on my Angel - Wonderful cover.



=D
JOY

I've got my eyes on another guitar, before I put up more covers. An ELECTRIC ONE =)

This is no ordinary electric though... LOOK AT.




So yehhhh....
Hopefully when uni starts again I'll be all kitted out t ovibes in my room. PROPERLY lol.

I've got more trainers (no surprises)
My rule of selling 2 pairs and pick up 1 isn't working.
Note to self: be realistic.

I've got my eyes set on the Jordan Breds now.

BRB.
Gotta go work


ADIOS!

Frank Ocean - Sweet Life

By | Published 8 Jul 2012



I must admit... After hearing and reading that Frank Ocean swings both ways, I was a tad skeptical and a little "Eurgh" about it.
Like.... I was listening to and twitter-tumblr-following a dude I thought was just super cool and just raking up  ladies details, then 
WHAM! 
My guy turns around and says
 "I'm bisexual" 
=\

At first I had an immature view on it, then I grew a little and some thoughts started dropping in my mind.

  • He's the first Hip Hop / R&B male I've ever heard of , openly announcing gay-ness. (apart from Tevin Campbell)
  • He's a black male in music
  • Imagine how many rappers are gay or have tendencies?
  • Imagine how many R&B singers are gay?
  • Imagine how many people in music are in a closet on a fence about their sexuality?
These questions got answered quickly by my ever-so smart mind...

They don't want to lose their audiences.
Like what it did to the famous Mr Ocean, he's lost some fans and maybe even gotten himself more from the gay community.
I've learnt that the world of music is very immature to situations like these... People are very extreme and even more often than not... hypocritical. Its NAFF.
What's going to happen is that every song that he will release from this point on will be inspected and swabbed for homosexual conno's... *sigh*...and we've got the first! lol

Sweet Life. Produced by Pharrell.


Jazzy. 
Vibers. 
Underground. 
Bar. 
Spotlight. 
Martinis. 
Enjoyment. 
Are what spring to my ears,


Regardless of his situation, Mr Frank is still providing the goods
*thumbs up*

FRICK™

By | Published 6 Jul 2012

Definition:
Frick, interjection, -s, -kin, -sake. 1. expression used in place of F word because I do not swear. 2. For use in extremely unfortunate situations 3. May also be used in questions of such weight pertaining to the meaning of life.

in use:-
*walks into flat*
"FRICK I got robbed! (No, I didn't... I got pranked. My flat got trashed & nothing got stolen). FRICK! Now I can't even call the Feds cos nothing got FRIKKIN stolen! What the FRICK?! 
*checks pocket*
"ARRR for FRICKSAKE! There's a hole in my FRIKKIN pocket and my FRIKKIN keys just FRIKKIN fell out somewhere! 


The title has virtually no link to the content of this post.... Well, maybe it has lol

Lightskinned by the iPad
Had work the day before.
Got work that day.
Work the day after that.
Then... I think I got work again

Mate... I just feel like throwing abit of nonsense out here for ya.
Living summer life here in Leicester isn't all that..... bad lol. I do miss all my homies that've gone back home to London for the hols. Even all the possibilities with the journalism, music and fashion are just ever so tempting, open mic and acoustic nights galore.
But I've got stuff to do, targets that I've set for myself that would be much simpler to achieve if I'm in Leicester... When I feel like I've gotten quite deep in it, I'll open the hatch and let you in to my mind - there are some vision-stealers out there lol.

BLEURGH...
Family and friends in London and around that may not see me this summer...
I love you.

In the meantime... just press f5, expect some photography, OOTDs, maybe even me playing some guitar/uke, or even some skating things.
Adios!

John Frusciante - Glowe

By | Published 2 Jun 2012




This track I just came across is an ultimate...

VIBER 

Everything about it is just PERRRRRRRRRFECT! Every click, clap, snare, cymbol hit and kick drum smashed is done with such precision and accuracy.

The very fact this track is only 1:30 is just ideal for them times when I'm in a rush out - like this morning when I had 20mins to get out of bed, shower, dress, and leave for my job interview =P.
No dilly dally, utilize every millisecond.

But yeah some brief history behind the genius - John Frusciante.
  • Former lead guitarist of The Red Hot Chilli Peppers.
  • Officially left in 2009. See the statement below:
To put it simply, my musical interests have led me in a different direction. Upon rejoining, and throughout my time in the band, I was very excited about exploring the musical possibilities inherent in a rock band, and doing so with those people in particular. A couple of years ago, I began to feel that same excitement again, but this time it was about making a different kind of music, alone, and being my own engineer.I really love the band and what we did. I understand and value that my work with them means a lot to many people, but I have to follow my interests. For me, art has never been something done out of a sense of duty. It is something I do because it is really fun, exciting, and interesting. Over the last 12 years, I have changed, as a person and artist, to such a degree that to do further work along the lines I did with the band would be to go against my own nature. There was no choice involved in this decision. I simply have to be what I am, and have to do what I must do.
Sending love and gratitude to you all.

As you have read, my guy went to follow his interests and be his own engineer.


He was a guitarist for probably the slickest rock band ever, but above all the money and fame, he remembers he's a musician.

If artists in music could all have this attitude, the world would actually be better place. Music not just for money, cars, clothes and hoes - but for the love of it.


My flatmates are pissed off I've been playing this track for the past couple of days, I've got the sickest head-bop now lol

P.S I'm getting that Letur-Lefr EP
you should too

Jhene Aiko - 2 Seconds

By | Published 21 May 2012


Whilst we're all anticipating the release of her Souled Out album and the upload of her "3:16" single, Jhene decides to let us in with some juicy goods.

Now signed to Def Jam Records, she's been a very busy body, getting booked for shows all over and amidst that, working to get that album out.

With this self-written track she lets us into her emotions via silky voice. The frustrations of a male in her life that's nearly pushed her off the edge. 

Taking a wild guess, this is something more for the females.
It's sorta understandable, especially after the WTT (Watch The Throne) Tour, Meek Mill's, MMG and all that "hype hype". Girls have been coming up to me with that "Face Down... Ass up..." talk.

5 months In... somniac

By | Published 15 May 2012

It's exam season. This is the worst part of every year of my higher academic life. *sigh*


The stress & uncertainty that abounds is not measurable on Earth :(.
But I do suppose that studying Biomedical Science it comes with the territory. I just never really thought that this degree would be so broad. We REALLY don't have to touch EVERY base!? =S let's be real. I don't even get to pick & drop modules =[. I'm covering the whole shabang every year.

Just had my 3rd exam today (15/5/12 is still "today" because I haven't slept yet). 2 more to go. 16th, 24th then...
Shingologo-yaga. =D

In other news:
The insomnia has FULLY settled. -_-

I know this for a fact cos I did the research and it says:
"

The symptoms of insomnia depend on the type of sleeping problem that you have. A lack of sleep can affect your mood and cause tiredness and fatigue during the day.
It's thought that up to a third of people in the UK have symptoms of insomnia at some point in the year, which can include:
  • lying awake for a long time at night before falling asleep
  • waking up several times in the middle of the night
  • waking up early in the morning and not being able to get back to sleep
  • feeling tired and not refreshed by sleep
  • not being able to function properly during the day and finding it difficult to concentrate
  • being irritable
"




I realised, I spent most of the academic year awake and active, having fun and what not forgetting that during exams I would be awake, shootin' in the library. 

Me & sleep need a catch-up lol.

OH YEH... 
I cut my hair.

Most of you Londoners may not have seen, but I had some black bush with a ginger stripe growing on top of my head.
I was in love with it. 

I loved the messyness. 
I loved the fact I didn't have to comb it and it'd still look "ok"
I loved how I could hide things in it.
I liked how the fancy females put their hands through it.



But as much as I enjoyed having the ginger badger on my scalp, it did come with it's deficits :(
The combing of hair for "no hat" events
Expenditure on hair cream
When it got wet... =|

This wasn't the first time I grew my hair out, but through this one I can now relate to black females and them getting their NATURAL hair wet. It's not the ideal thing to do lol.

Even so, throughout this experience I've looked less and less like Biomedical Scientist and the level of seriousness around me decreased exponentially.

Sitting there in that barber chair wanting a shape-up, I could see in the barber's eyes that the cut would've been best. So we proceeded...

And I came out quite choong ^_^ lol.



Ahhhh... Time for me to get some unrefreshing sleep...

...I sleep at my wake

Kanye West (ft Dj Khaled) - Theraflu

By | Published 5 Apr 2012


“swag king-kong”-YE’

Everyone around me has been collecting illness man! The brink of spring and my friends are attracting colds.
In the UK we have Lemsip but across the ocean in America they've got THERAFLU to combat that virus, a much stronger medicine.

Neither of the above is relevant, Kanye was gone for a while but he's back with some MEAN MEDICINE. He's gone INNNNNNNNA on this track, ice-cold lines pertaining to his ex Amber Rose with her stick boyfriend - Wiz Khalifa and his relationship with Kim Kardashian, not giving her ex-husband Kris Humphries a leg to frikkin stand on.




G.O.O.D Fridays also return on Friday - =O Good Friday! *jumps on bed & fist pumps air simultaneously whispering a barrage of "YES!"s * with "Mercy" which shall be featuring Pusha T, 2 Chainz and Big Sean.

I haven't got much to say for myself apart from life has been real busy, but you've heard that plenty of times.
I'm just going to let some blogger's juice flow out of my fingertips and just hope its sweet enough.

I'm soon to handover the position of DMU ACS Events Manager to the next batch of 2nd years. I must admit that as much as it has been fun, its been STRESS. Other members of the committee have compared the sensations to those similar with raising a newborn baby - and as that moment flashes past my mind I nod in agreement.



I love my team.



In other matters...
I've been an utter scumbag and neglected my blogging. Both music and fashion. Time hasn't been a good friend to me - events to plan, assignment deadlines to meet.
Chuss me! It was like raising a baby whilst having a full time and being in education - [masssive thumbs up to those parents that are in such a sitch]

But yo...
I'm back again :)
...with my tune of the moment...

Words, Rhymes and Creekside Times

By | Published 22 Dec 2011

An event sorted by the peeps at Flavour Magazine. A dense night of poetry, spoken word and just pure utter lyrical genius-ness!


The night was hosted by Dean Atta; an award winning poet, writer, performer and proud winner of the Spirit of London Award for 'Achievement through the Arts'.




Anthony Anaxagorou 
The Ruby Kid
Nadia K
Mina
Isaac Nartey
Deanna Rodger
Bridget Minamore
Conrad The Scoundrel
JJSOULX (singer) 


There was an open mic section midway through the event. There were 3 poets by the names of Kemi, Carmel and Lionheart. They all delivered some heart-touching, mind-churning poetry that had us all cemented to our seats.

I must admit the stars of the show were the girls (no older than 11years) from the local youth club that Dean Atta had been mentoring for the past few days. They had written poems and small pieces describing emotions, and people they care about. The quality was TOP-NOTCH and they most definitely struck some chords with the audience.



The highlight for me was the poem they did together that they called - Things Money Can't Buy.
They were listing things that could be bought this Christmas and contrasting them with priceless things. The line that got me was "Money can buy you a train ticket, but it can't buy your destination" which sank into me. I get the train down from uni every holiday to spend it with my family and I do wish the ticket was cheaper, but these girls made me realise that that there are  people like myself that go back home for the holidays to find that they don't feel as welcome in their own home. They arrive to find that things have changed dramatically and there's no room in the family picture for them. My thoughts go out to those ones.



The journey....
I ventured with my home-ette Liz Van Doef - trudging pon di tfl.


with pizzazzz. Making noise as usual, dancing in that gap that's always been talked about in the tannoy lol =P



...In the place now and we spot another handsome lad, that knew what he was doing. 
HONESTLY, what are the chances?
I felt honoured to know that someone as talented and blessed as THE RUBY KID, wanted to leave his house looking like me =D lol

Meet Liz VanDoef...
(I know this isn't the most flattering picture... But this is what you do Liz, this is just what you do.)

She's been my sis for nearly 4 years (I think =S). 
The one that knows when my situation changes between the extremities of emotions.
The one that sprays bars when I box out a beat,
The one that helps me dress my mind with wisdom.
The one that hooks me up.
The one that's humble, caring and kind.
The one that just knows how to run the business.
And...  
...
The one that opens bottles with her teeth
=/

She can do greatness too!
Preeeee the beginning of something beautiful.
Her first ever performance poem:

T  .  I  .  M  .  E

J. Cole Freestyles over "Ima Boss" and "Otis" on Radio

By | Published 13 Sept 2011


FIIIIRE
That's what this is.

If you've been following J. Cole you'd have been anticipating his 3rd edition of Any Given Sunday before the album Cole World: The Sideline Story drops on Sept 27th. Pshhhh! This guy's even got pizzazz. Instead of re-releasing some old stuff on a short tape, my guy has gone on the radio and freestyled on 2 of the biggest beats in the rap game. This is the best freestyle I've heard on either beats, I dare you to disagree.

As it plays in the background as I write this post. I've just got my left hand on my head tryna stop my head boppin' into my laptop screen.




Aint nuttin better than some fresh killlller lyrics.
If only I was one of the listeners to the station.

[[[LIVE]]] J. Gordon @Upstairs At The Ritzy 01/09/11

By | Published 12 Sept 2011




On that day, the 1st of September I had the priveledge of taking a front seat at  
J.GORDON's first ever London gig.
This was my first time going up into Brixton to see a performance lol (usually I try my best to avoid the area =P) but its actually NOT SO BAD now! The thing that's still about the same/getting worser and worserer is the cloud of people patrolling the train station entrance, tapping/shouting/wailing for a day travelcard from someone in need of it no more.


 Accompanied by his producer Nathan Lay, Gordon altered the aura of the venue, the stage was graced by many smooth poets before him and the songs (another form of poetry) were literally body warmers, raising the heat at the venue. Taking breaks to get some air were essential for brain function lol.

You only had to be there to experience the whole surrealness of the occasion.

You missed out and you know you want to watch any clips... so here's a few




Be sure to watch out for his album: JUSTINTHEMAKING

FACEBOOK HIM

XV - The Kick

By | Published 9 Sept 2011



This guy has been quiet for a very very long while. But he's back with some cool ish.
Gotta hand the production to DJ Tech-Neek though *clap-clap* topnotch sir. It takes a different kind of mind to pick a classical movie soundtrack (a Hans Zimmer piece) and wrap a bass kick and snare to it. If you're wondering, "Time" - Hans Zimmer (Inception soundtrack) is the sampled track.
