Mining the catalog. . . fun. . . fun. . . fun. . .
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 cassette only recordings and bootlegs next.
For your listening enjoyment or cringe induced vomiting, I have uploaded 20 something tracks to my player in chronological order from the 1999 recording Hold Up And Analyze presents. . . Waterbury's Finest to the track "The Sound" off of the upcoming Sharing Is Caring EP. These are select songs from my main releases that I am hoping will allow you to see my progression as an artist.
Its crazy for me to go back and check out my battle rapping times. I would spit 16's and 24 bars verses flooded with metaphors and similies in an on-and-off beat style on Hold Up And Analyze every week from the fall of '99 to 2003 on public access channel 13 in Waterbury, CT.
Then, seeing that style transform to the storytelling and monologues on Tao Te Ching to the non- rhyming art project Ask The Dog For Tree Perfume to the live band genre amalgamation of (soda) Popinski to the socio-political multi-syllabic rhyme schemes on Party Music For Pissed Off People to the eclectic dub/electronic collaboration of Two Crippled Heroes to the live bootlegs and the current hip-hop and instrumental work I have been doing just bugs me out.
If I could speak critically of my catalog for a moment: I do not think I have dropped the best music (in fact I think a lot of my recordings fail to capture the quality of a solid live performance), but I do think I have attempted to bring whoever is listening a broad RANGE of music and within hip-hop alone a broad range of style and emotion with my lyrics and production for others.
So anyway. . . I really like the things I have done and I hope you do too. I hope the music is getting better and more interesting and that you stay interested and bring other people along as I continue to move forward. Let me know what you think of the tracks and hit me up if you have any questions.
Peace and blessings

Great interview. I'm always awed by the artistry of engineering. Like Hawl, I'm just a rapper, but the process of mixing and the ear that the engineer brings to a project to make the vocals pop and the vocals and the beat mesh has always intrigued m…

Nice job! that was very interesting... glad i'm just a rapper though, i couldn't deal with the tech side of it. Good Shit!
Good stuff... beatboxing doesn't get enough recognition, so good job on bringing it out. Not to mention SemeRock is pretty damn good!
Thanks everybody. Glad yall felt it for sure!
thats a healthy vinyl collection....nice setup too, that digi rack looks dope. Good interview
I hate everything about this guy....No not you Nasa, Kim Jong Il. Haha. Fantastic work by Sketch. Nasa is one of the most interesting cats I've come across on the indie scene. His discog is about 3 pages long, but you wouldn't know it unless you're…
This is dope man. I like the video of the Studio. Good shit Nasa i'm diggin your approach. Much love.
