Enjoy!
After listening to a couple old Quest tracks today from 2001, I decided to take my own walk down memory lane and began uploading my ennnnnnnnnnntttttiiiiiirrrrrreee friggin catalog to my Mac. I started out with the cds and digital releases, moved onto mix tape appearances, and I am going to be going to casset… Continue
Forgive me if this has an enormous amount of grammatical errors. I free-wrote this and didn't go back to edit.
One of my real strong turning points for approaching my music came in the summer of 2006. It had been just under a year that my band did our last show and I was struggling with the idea of rocking shows and the concept of entertaining the audience with myself alone. But, I knew this is what I wanted to do and what I wanted to take seriously, so I had the idea of pushing forward… Continue
What's up people. . .

What up people!
I wanted to let heads that don't know that I am up on both facebook and twitter. . . so become a fan or follow me. I will posting things up on both of these as will as this site that will not be posted anywhere else.
I tried to post this on that day and it didn't work out so well. . . my apologies. . .
What up y'all!
So last evening I attended the incredible Last Of The Record Buyers, a once a month producers open mic session, at its new location The Fifth Element. This was special for them in that the event used to take place at a bar called The Dinkytowner and now heads under the age of 21 could rock their beats.
I made sure I was the first on the list and went about my business of building with… Continue
What up folks. . . here we are with another funky ass update. . .

Last week on Sunday we had another marvelous editing session on what will be the… Continue
Below is an interview with me by this cat for a newspaper in Norwalk back in 2004. A large portion of the interview focuses on my first album Tao Te Ching, but a lot of other things were covered as well. I never actually was able to view the publication but this was the transcription of the interview that I just recently discovered. I think it is funny as hell! lol All references to a producer by the name of Define are referring to the cat who is now known as Defnyshn, who has gone on to prod… Continue
As I write this, I sit naked in my tension
in a 4X4 room made of walls of pressure
fingers jittered, tapping their rhythms on the air
with tears battering the fretboard until the Twelfth of Never
that song played its sorrows on my day on repeat
directly on my chest for what felt like forever
I want out. . . I want air. . .
I want. . . whatever
that last coffee probably didn't help
now i'm shaking uncontrollably and drowning in my self
Through this dank cage of harnesses and belts its
hard to see… Continue
