LAST POST FOR TODAY....

cuz i have to get back in the lab again... work on this album. feeling good about the response i'm getting from certain people who i know for a fact would not bullshit me about how my sound is progressing. me and my producers are doing our best to give people fresh new music. fuck sampling all the time. shit... we wanna be sampled some day. now how sick would that be...?

yo, another quick reminder... if you don't know about Oscar Grant. YOU SHOULD! a young, unarmed man, was shot dead a month ago in Oakland FOR NO REASON! i've been so in shock about this that a song came out of my body as a result of all this madness. the song will be released next week for FREE via a magazine interview i did with PersonaMagazine.net

make sure you download it and spread the word. we need to be alert about this kind of injustice. and quite frankly, i'm FUCKIN SICK OF IT...

ok... i'm chill...
back to the lab..

L'Ove ya'll...
