Some back story about the joint. Man listen i saved this beat for years. It was the type beat that no matter who i played it for heads would be like DAMN. Writing to it was a bitch cause it's such an emotional sounding beat that it had to be a subject that heads could feel. We did'nt try and go the typical route so we picked the subject of moving around a lot and introverting. It's real. People go through it. We went through it. So fuck it we rocked out about that. It's a flip side to this one song on the album called "Chase the wind". The whole album is a complete experirence and when you hear how this song fits into the whole spectrum of the album you'll understand. We didn't strive to make a "SINGLE" it just was the joint we felt would be a good joint to put out. Something cool to balnce all the blood thirsty crazy shit on the album ( Oh yes, THERE WILL BE BLOOD )

THE PLEXIGLASS FOUNTAIN "LEFT OF THE SCENERY" DEC. 15TH 2009

THE PLEXIGLASS FOUNTAIN - MINE

Aight we got the official leak from the album out. We put out the "Marsha Brady" track a while back to get heads tweaking off a little taste of the album and now we got the leak for heads. The album is about 3/4 done at this point. Just a few more vocals left and the final mixdown then BOOM we putting it out. I gotta give XTRA props to Cyclops cause he's a real dude. He says he gonna do something and HE DOE IT. No excuses or cop outs. His work ethic really matches mine and he goes in hard on this album.

"MINE" is a joint that we put out to hold heads over and so far the response to it has been nuts. We dont have any label behind us so we doing all our own leg work as always but even though we in the struggle heads are showing us love for it. The biggest compliment was when i sent AG from DITC ( If you dont know who that is, KILL YOURSELF ) a link to the song and he actually Retwetted it on his page. I was bugging the fuck out cause he's someone i grew up listening to and a certified legend and for him to show heads love like that was BONKERS. Sonically it's a heavy hip hop sounding joint. Very raw and hardcore. Cyclops did the hook and killed his verses ( Dude came up with the idea of calling Money MOLD, as in green bread WTF!!! ) and i wrote mine to finish off the track. We got a couple of blogs to post it and so far heads have been showing love. Thats what's good.

We got the OFFICIAL single we gonna drop in a minute to lead up to the album. In the mean time check for this joint and spread the word.

Peace

The making of The Plexiglass Fountain album. Part 2

Salut. Aight at this point, we are 5 solid joints into the album. It's been crazy to see the concepts start to flesh out into actual songs. I've been in crazy writing mode. This album has my best delivery and writing by far.

The good thing about being in a group is seeing the point of view of another cat on a topic. We got this joint called "what i'm after is....." where we break down a part of life crazy. Fam went in hard on that one. On this other track tentatively called "Rational Geographic" Cyclops went APESHIT. He blacked out on the beat in a wild way. I was hype as fuck when i got the vocals from him.

I woke up today and laid down some vocals for the intro song. I'm bout to go in and fix up one of the songs for cyclops to spazz out over. More updates coming soon.

On a side note. Cyclops just finished up an album with dude. Half Centric ( shit is sounding crazy from what i heard ) check it out on his myspace page. My dude Rasheed Chapppell just sent me the first track off our collaboration EP. The track is called "connect Thought" and it is a MONSTER!!!!!!

SALUTE CL2

Peace and love to Rae, Ghost, the wu, all the producers and all involved in making this album. This shit is the album of the fucking decade people. Listening to this joint i lauged, cried and almost threw a chair through a glass door ( when Ghost said "Newports are $7.50" on "Cold outside i had a very strong adrenaline rush ha ha )

Man this shit was CRAZY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I been bumping this album EVERYDAY since i got it. Real hip hop. If you dont like this YOU DONT KNOW SHIT. nuff said

Tokyo Cigar and Cyclops are THE PLEXIGLASS FOUNTAIN

The Plexiglass Fountain is Tokyo Cigar a.k.a Akira Parker and Cyclops a.k.a. Caliber X

It's official we started the album on september 18th 2009 ( well we actually started when we recorded "Marsha Brady" but you know how it goes ) We spoke for a minute about the concepts for the album. I've done all the beats already and Cyclops is feeling everything.

I think this joint will be one of my production benchmarks. It felt great to hear Cyclops say that cats have never heard production like that before. I promise your favorite producer will hate me when they hear the album LOL Seriously though i cant wait to hit heads with this joint. I really hope y'all feel it. I'm gonna cook something special up for the cover and i'm actually gonna promote this joint. You know me. I just make music and put it out for y'all cause i'm addicted to making music ( i hope there's some kind of medication for that cause sometimes it gets crazy ) but with this i'm really gonna make an effort to give you something special.

Cyclops is my dude and i love his style. His visuals are crazy insane and i myself am waiting to hear what he's gonna bring to the table with this. We have another track just about done and i can see him stepping his game up crazy already. Cats have no idea what we about to hit em with.

I'll keep y'all posted on all developments.

Equpiment used: Fruity Loops 3, FL studio 7, M audio oxygen 8, PC, mics, pens and pads, a few samples here and there, a lot of original music, dope concept and LIFE.

This Shit was NUTTTTSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tarrintino DID THE DAMN THING. I was in the theather in a daze. ( trust me i talk a lot in flicks but i was so into this i kept my mouth shut ) BRAVO MY NIGGA BRAVO

Cave Kingz

Yo me and my man GC just laced the Cave Kingz EP ( i dont know where i get all these dope names from, It's a gift ) The EP is called "before there was fire...." GC on the beats ( whut up homie )and Me on the mic. GC been my mans for YEARS. We actually have done mad basement tapes back in the days and all that ( blunts, music and take out from the chinise food spot on his old block in Silver Spring GOOD TIMES!!!!! )Heads got some crazy response to it. Kevin wants to put out the album on Hipnott ( YAYYY!!! ) Shit is some GRIMY ill hip hop. I gotta admit that my rhyme skills have boosted like a mutha. I rhyme better than ever now and the Cave Kingz EP is a great indicator of my style now. I'm bout to get back into doing shows. Suckas be acting like i was'nt rhyming every week at Tru skool or something. Shout out Enoch, i just bumped into him and Watuzi a few weeks ago in DC. I aint retire, i just took a sabatical. Production is still my life but i gotta knock out this rap shit too. ( i got A LOT of shit to say )

Yo Peep the Video for "Hidden Click". Album comin SOON.
