What it do?

Whut up. Just wanted to drop in and update cats on the dealings and proceedings. Been busy as fuck. Helping my moms set up her new business, working on the Ivy league EP, sending beats to Mercy, working on my Akira Parker project and been blessing mad verses for cats. Been writing like hell. I swear if all this work dont pay off I'm spazzing on EVERYTHING AND EVERYBODY.

Wu tang been dropping some raw new shit lately ( "Evil deeds" is another testament as to why Ghostface will never be matched when it comes to delivery ) That's a great look.

Marvel chess set.

I geeked out when i found out abbout this. Playing chess with marvel cats?!? I went nuts. I liked the breakdown of the pieces/characters. I also found out they have Batman joints too. I know i'm mad late about this but whatever duke. This is too fly for words.

Batman/Grendel

Hitting up the Library for graphic novels is my new thing. I recently got back into comics and i found out there's a lot i gotta catch up on. I wanted to share my thoughts about his joint with yall. It's a very well written crossover by Matt Wagner. He created the villian Grendel and then took a stab at mixng the character into Batmans world. I got the TPB and found out it was actually 2 stories.

The first features Grendel pulling off a hiest in a museum. It revolves around two chicks and their relationships with Batman and Gredel in the story. The story itself is well written. ( it took me a little while to figure out who's perspective i was reading at first ) I like how he interlocked all the characters thoughts and moved the story along. The artwork was crazy as hell too. It paid a lot of homage to THE DARK KNIGHT RETURNS in terms of style ( especially the little TV panels ) but added new ideas into the pot.

The second has a lot more action. It features a cyborg version of Grendel fighthing Batman. While the first focussed more on the thoughts of the characters, this one features more straight up fights. Batman actually gets his ass beat a lot in this joint. Robin also make a cameo ( whut up tim ) I prefer the first story but this was not bad. It even updates the characters from the first story. ( it takes place a few years in the future of Batmans last encounter with Grendel )

This joint was fly as hell. Well worth reading.

By the way BRUCE WAYNE IS BATMAN ( sorry Nightwing )

WOW

Growing up i was always the sort of kid that really wanted to have my own Mech type suit. I was a heavy Voltron and Transformers cat ( in the animated movie when daniel had the suit to go to Cybertron and it could transform i went NUTS!!!! ) My boy showed me this joint and i was like whaaaaat. All i want is the real life Iron man suit and i'm good.

R.I.P. Grasshopper

Damn!!! Kill Bill Vol. 1 and 2 is on Spike Tv back to back. R.I.P. David Carridine. Dude was one of my favorite movie villians EVER in that flick.

The GRIZZLY BEAR

AHHH the sweet smell of progress. I sold another beat today ( a nice little soul joint ) and i'm just bugging out.

Shits been wild. I got a lot more collaborations coming up and shit is staring to really move.

All yall rap cats should holla at me for real. When these new shits drop, it's gonna be OVER.

Tokyocigartalk@gmail.com Dont be shy. We can talk.

Apart from that, been working out and reading.

Will eisner's New york and The best of the spirit have had my brain on tilt. I also found this interesting joint in the library that breaks down the Philosophy behind Batman. Speaking of which

BRUCE WAYNE IS DEAD?!? WHAT THE FUCK.

Nightwing is batman now and i dont know how i feel about that. They tried it with The whole Knightfall thing and we all know how that went. Nightwing is the best candidate to replace him but it still does'nt feel right.

I made this album after seeing a CRAZY interview with Diddy ( the best one i've ever seen from him ) He really dropped knowledge about making an album here. The interviewer spoke with him bout making Ready to Die with Biggie. The Jewels are in THE DETAILS people.

I based my album around parts of the interview and used that as the theme of the project.

All producers need to check this joint out ( especially in this era of singles and ringtones ) cause cats need to go back to making FULL ALBUMS. ( remember when Side A AND side B had to knock for the album to be considered good? )

Check it
