yo,
it's been more minutes then we'd care to admit.
BUT! we've been working like rabid mutts.
heres what's been cooking:
- NASA over at uncommon records interviewed The Protege and us (deto, roc, and dirt e. dutch) for uncommon radio podcast #8 check it here http://ping.fm/ME88Q
- of course that was warranted by The Protege's EP "untitled is hard enough" (composed by sketch tha cataclysm)
which is available here… Continue

we're proud of pro's work, the ep is superdope.
thanks to dutch for his support, and clean mastering ear!
and thanks to sketch tha cataclysm for providing such a beautiful backdrop!
and if you don't know...… Continue
so, although it may seem like we're dead...
we've been busy.
right now we are preparing for the release of the protege's sole ep "untitled is hard enough" on 4/7/09
it's fucking dope. i know, i recorded it.
pro on the lead vocs, sketch tha cataclysm on the compositions, deto and dutch on lighting and special effects.
special guests: phenetiks (duh), and silentuch
at the top of this past month, we had spent a fantastic (but old morning in brooklyn, ny with good friend arjen noordeman shoo… Continue
what it do be kids.
on a rare "phenetiks thursday"
roc and pro are busy little phenetiki writing to "sentence structure" so we can wrap that jam up.
in my spare time, i decided to start another re-occuring blog giving you some little known, pointlessly useful knowledge on the entire history of us and then some.
so, if you ready....here we go.

HERE'S HOW!
1. take a good look at the album cover below
2. find yourself a pair of these sunglasses. (you know, the 80's "po-po" style)
3. take a photo of yourself in said pair of shades looking as fresh as you wanna.
4. email said photo to phenetiks@gmail.com
this starts now and ends when enough have been accumulated.

TheProtege - "Untitled is Hard Enough"
… Continue
tacos!
so last night on the famed "phenetiks mondays"
theProtege recorded "counting"
which would be the first section of a three song medley called:
"the breaks monotonous medley"
-counting
-fingers
-perspective
after performing "fingers" and "perspective" this past friday at the dope ass show @ the brass horse...
we're hopin' to add "counting" to the live rotation.
so yeah.
chugging along.
stay tuned Continue
with deto dead on the floor, being beatin by a migraine or somethin...
roc laced a joint called "spontinuity", that pro had murded the week prior. a little more need be done...but it's dope.
and the for real, for real finishing touches have been written for the intro which has been deemed "taj city"
and let me tell you this... theprotege ate 2 bowls of rhymeeo's this morning or something cause he destroyed it.
"RHYMEEO'S" mc tested, baller approved.
here's the short… Continue
yowza yowza yowza.
yeah.
well last night was a dope session.
protege laced sum' lovely on what's tentatively being titled "spontinuity"
and roc has started penning for that as well.
and a major revamp, for the "intro" occured. with a re-write, a re-title, and the dispelling of the original idea for it.
all should be recorded for this joint next monday.
also, the long awaited "fingers" video will be done shortly!
right snare?
p's Continue
from now on...
we will refer the album previously titled "dirt"...
p.a.n.t.
or, phenetiks album number three.
HA HA HA HAAHAHA HAHA HAHA HAHAH HAHA HA AH HA HA HA...ha. ha.
i'm so silly.
anywhoot.
the past 2 weeks have been writing really, so not to much recorded.
BUT
we did shoot a video for "fingers"
which is currently in final editing stages with our good friend snare!
he's busy finishing up quest's vid first,
and ours will be done after.
it's dope. i've seen it. Continue
yes we're still working on album number 3.
and for now that's what it will be called.
our friends over at Heltah Skeltah have released a new album titled D.I.R.T.
so we've retired the title, and have replaced it with one of the alternates we already pondered...which will remain a secret before ton loc comes back out with our new album title.
that's all for now.
p's Continue
hi.
we had a week or three off, but we're back.
last night in an impromptu writing session, the protege... finished recording his ep? wow.
and then managed to write and complete "counting" a dope third of a three part medley.
(see below)
and then tightened up his verse for "louder words"
so we'll see what phenetiks monday brings tonight...
but for now...
the track listing so far (aka: things that are done enough to say they're on it)
-the intro (untitled so far)
-sentence structure
-infa… Continue

since we last spoke.
"weapons vs. tools" has sprouted some legs with some vocals, and peices layered on by sir.cumference. it's an animal of a song thats for sure.
"fingers" has been officially added to the roster of the dirt project...
(and may go through a minor tweek or two)
last night, writing commenced in full force on an oldie but goodie from the antfarm studio days with,
"louder words". a superbly moodly little gem about words sometimes out weighing the… Continue
well, this past weekend we were supposed to have special guest feature Maria Miiz come through to work on the still untitled intro, but plans did not fall through, so we'll be rescheduling that soon.
but, yesterday roc, pro, and deto worked on "melt" which sounds dope as fuck...even with just reference vocals.
deto is cooking up a beat and song entitled "way to much faith in medicine" more on that soon i'm sure.
stay tuned
p's Continue

This is super-interesting. I really dig how you breakdown the thought process behind "bob ross" since the lyrics are so out there. Great job Sketch! I love the links and the videos.
