polyphony.

& sht.

man.

i went to beat society last week.

needless to say, the beat bug is definitely back. not to mention the need to make this album.

i went to the record store looking for sample laden joints, and i came across some gems.



blue magic - thriteen blue magic lane (1975 / ATCO/WMOT)



blue magic - mystic dragons (1976 / ATCO/WMOT)



norman connors - dance of magic (1972 / Buddah)



dexter wansel - what the world is coming to (1977 / Philadelphia International Records)



herbie mann - the best of herbie mann (1970 - Atlantic Records)



spinners - mighty love (1974 / Atlantic Records)

i also copped dexter wansel's 1976 record, Life on Mars. coudln't find a good cover for it, and i didnt care to shoot the cover so i could post it.

every body but herbie mann is on some philly sht... some of the best music has sprung from this area yo. im finna continue the tradition too, watch.

ive got a new favorite man... dexter wansel is a BEAST. i fiend for stuff like this, funky keys and deep melodies. man's got skills. the batch of beats i get out of this little collection should be heaters.

its been kinda lonely around here. i'm not complaining tho, this was sort of the idea... i'm pullin a kanye on the world, lock myself in my room for a hot minute and see what come up with when i get done. the hustle is in full effect, as is the grind.

i'll get on yall though.

yep!

i'm moved in.

it's been a slow, stressful transition, but it's finally on the road to wrapping up. i'm still in need of a good sofa (i actually have access to one but being on the third floor with an average size stairwell (it's a converted house) isn't very conducive to bringing up large furniture like that. i had enough trouble with the 27" tv i bought.) it definitely needs other accoutrements and the like that will suggest a living space, but for now the most functional additions to the apartment are finding their way in.

i think i'm gonna make a run to the shopping center on columbus blvd and pick up some stuff this week.

it's nice tho. it's small and quiet. i have a little porch on my livingroom that will be the shit in the spring and summer. my kitchen is little, but it gets the job done, and my bathroom is small but effective as well.

i was afraid i wasn't gonna be happy with it but i believe i am.

yesterday the cable guys came and hooked up my internet and cable package... now i can watch sixers games and download...things. later on that day, i Roc'd some furniture (it was trash day on the block) and hustled it up to my apartment. i'm so resourceful.


*sigh*

now begins the rest of my life.


i'm on that music shit again. got a rack of projects im tryna knock out before my next birthday.

ima throw this out in the air...i'ma start work on my ep (yep i'll be rappin)

i'm pretty excited about that, i'm becoming more confident in my vocal abilities as each day passes.

needless to say, i'm focused.

early!
