2011-10-22T23:40:00.000-04:00

This seems to be the first single from Red Cafe's long-awaited debut album "Shakedown". The song, "Fly Together" features Ryan Leslie (who produced the track - see post here), and Rick Ross.

Styles P ft. Rick Ross & Busta Rhymes - Harsh [VIDEO]

This is the video for the second single off Styles P's "Master of Ceremonies" album. The album was released on October 4th. This video features Rick Ross & Busta Rhymes alongside Styles. The next song that I hope he does a video for is "We Don't Play" featuring Lloyd Banks.

9th Wonder - The Wonder Years [VIDEO - TRAILER]

2011-10-21T23:41:00.000-04:00

For the 9th Wonder Fans out there, you may have already had the chance to watch the trailer for 9th Wonder's "Wonder Years" album. For those of you that don't know who he is, this is a way for you to start to get an idea of that. His album, "The Wonder Years" was released about a month ago (Sept. 27th to be exact), and he's currently touring with Phonte, who also has an album out "Charity Starts At Home". The two are both from North Carolina, and actually released their albums all on the same day. The other artist from North Carolina who released an album that day was J. Cole. His project, which I'm sure most of you are familiar with is "Cole World - The Sideline Story".

Please do good music a favour, and if you get the chance to go out and buy any of these three albums, do so, and help all of us keep control of "the industry". You can click the album titles in this post, and it will bring you to the iTunes page where you can preview or purchase the songs/albums. I don't care where you buy them from, but if you like what you hear, whether it's the aforementioned artists, or any other artist, do them and yourselves a favour, and spend the money to keep the art coming.

The video was done by Kenneth Price of Price Films, and this is their description for the video.

"A year in the life of CEO, NAACP ambassador, Duke University professor, husband, father, son and Grammy Award winning producer 9th Wonder. The film follows one of soul music’s most dynamic figures from his childhood home to late nights in the studio and everywhere in between.

Featuring: Drake, DJ Premier, DJ Green Lantern, J. Cole, Murs, Phonte, Sha Money XL, Young Guru, The Alchemist & more."

T-Pain - 5 O'Clock ft. Wiz Khalifa & Lily Allen [VIDEO]

2011-10-21T23:06:00.000-04:00

A few weeks back I heard a few Wiz Khalifa interviews on the radio. He made mention to this "5 O'Clock" track that he worked with T-Pain on, and the song has been stuck in my head for the passed few days, although I tried to ignore it at first. I hope you T-Pain and Wiz Khalifa fans enjoy this post. This Lily Allen artist really makes the hook catchy. I think it's her accent that does it for me.

Onyx - Last Dayz [THROWBACK - VIDEO]

2011-10-21T22:54:00.000-04:00

This has been a busy last few weeks for me, and I'm getting towards the "Last Dayz" before I have to make some big changes. I was listening to an old "On Da Spot" Cipher with Styles P, Uncle Murda, Freeway, Beanie Sigel, and Joe Budden from Green Lantern. The instrumental for "Last Dayz" was used for the cipher, and I decided to add a video for the original track.

JD Era ft. Lokz - "Change" [VIDEO]

2011-10-04T23:18:00.000-04:00

Big things keep coming from JD Era and his team this year. I'm really happy for them, and hope things keep getting better. Here is a video for his song "Change" featuring Lokz, who was also on his "Fame & Fortune" track. I just want to give a quick shout out to my boy Fase who gave me the heads up letting me know that the video was ready/online.

2011-09-28T00:57:00.000-04:00

This is the official music video for Red Cafe's "The Realest" featuring Lloyd Banks and Fabolous. This song is coming from Red Cafe's "Above The Cloudz" mixtape.

For those of you that do not know, Red Cafe has an album coming out this November. Be on the look out.

Frank Ocean - "Swim Good" [VIDEO]

2011-09-17T00:01:00.000-04:00

One of my friends (who is a big enough Frank Ocean fan) put me onto his stuff earlier in the year. This is a video for one of the singles that's been spinning throughout the summer. If you haven't heard of him, or listened to his stuff he has, take a look for his "Nostalgia, Ultra" or "The Lonny Breaux Collection".

NIKE AF1.416 - "ALWAYS ON" [VIDEO]

2011-09-16T22:59:00.006-04:00

This is just a quick video I came across care of my boy "Showtime" (who happens to be in featured in the video). If you're into sneakers, namely Air Force 1s, you'll probably enjoy this short clip. It's just a brief look at Toronto, and some of it's sneaker connoisseur inhabitants.

Also, check out the bonus video after the break from Vado. The track is fittingly called "Always On" as well.

NYC September 2011 [PHOTOS]

2011-09-15T01:32:00.003-04:00

So for those of you that know me, know that I'm usually on the go. This year I went down to New York City again right in time for "Rock The Bells" and caught the Labour Day Parade in Brooklyn. I spent about five days in New York, and tried to see as much as possible. Between "Rock The Bells", and being out and about in the city I ran into a lot of people. I did not get to take as many pictures as I wanted to, but this is what I have so far. These are pictures taken from my BlackBerry Bold, PlayBook, and new editions from a friend who brought their camera along. I am still in the process of uploading my videos from "Rock The Bells" to YouTube.

Casino Costa - "Biggie Song" [AUDIO]

2011-08-28T18:05:00.000-04:00

Sex In The City - Mixtape Cover

Just came across another Casino Costa track via my ENtourage Ent. Family. Casino Costa tells another story of one of his, and maybe one of your, life experiences over some Ruga production on the "Biggie Song".

This is the first releases from Casino Costa's upcoming "Sex In The City" Mixtape. The track synopsis worded by my boy Showtime, which I couldn't word any better than this is as follows:

"The hard reality of betrayal and accepting that those around you may not be as close or loyal as they appear. This may be a hard thing for some to understand. The ability to separate friendship from business moves and transactions is essential to prevent clouded judgment and wrongful perceptions of those who cannot be trusted.

'Biggie Song' is a tale of two dudes who came up together and shared a common interest in stacking paper, which made them evidently close. Money changes things for the better and/or for the worst, while showing that sometimes a man’s word cannot be held in a high regard."

Check out the track, and download it below.

WHO CARES || BEN BALLER BLOG POST

2011-08-14T10:16:00.000-04:00

Yesterday evening after I was done resting from my birthday celebration the night/morning before, I got a message from one of my good friends about an article on the IF & CO. website. For those of you who don't know who Ben Baller is, he is actually one of the more outspoken members of the IF & CO. team.

This is an excerpt from one of Ben Baller's last blog post where he covers some life experience that holds very true to a lot of us if we look at it the right way.

" When I got my 1st job at Priority Records, the CEO there Bryan Turner gave me a pep talk about dealing with “artists” (fyi, we’re talking the guy that brought you NWA, Dr. Dre, Ice Cube, Master P, etc. aka Pioneers of Gangsta Rap aka HISTORY) and he told me something that really stuck. 'nobody ever remembers the good things you did for them, not the checks you cut, not the dinners or champagne, but they will always remember the bad things that happened; deal with that' "

When I got my 1st job at Priority Records, the CEO there Bryan Turner gave me a pep talk about dealing with “artists” (fyi, we’re talking the guy that brought you NWA, Dr. Dre, Ice Cube, Master P, etc. aka Pioneers of Gangsta Rap aka HISTORY) and he told me something that really stuck. “nobody ever remembers the good things you did for them, not the checks you cut, not the dinners or champagne, but they will always remember the bad things that happened; deal with that”

For the most part, that was pretty true to verse. I have been in thousands of situations and done a lot of good for a lot of peeps, not just “artists”(i’m not a saint or in anyways saying I’m a great man) but most of them would tell me about the times I fucked up and really, the good overshadowed the bad by 80/20 easily…… I realized that only my family would love me unconditionally.

Later in life, circa 2004… I’m 31 and I’m just becoming a man; yes, I didn’t grow up in many ways mentally until I hit 31. I think nowadays, most kids I meet aren’t even capable of having a grown man talk until 30 or even later...

Anyway, I had a talk with someone significant in my life and I was arguing about money and where I was in the world and that I wanted more possessions and that I was sad about certain things and simply, but powerfully this person said. “Ben, you gotta look at the glass being half full” “always remember, the glass is half full” and I have heard this before a few times and it never stuck until a month later when I didn’t really speak to that person again….. so I don’t need to break it down, but visually check out what that means and I promise, for some of you, that will help you out in life. it has helped me drastically. I always hated looking at simple things like, my favorite kobe steak being almost done, instead of being like, damn I’m so lucky to be eating and getting this chance to eat here….. of course on the other end, there are those who demand more in life than steak, but trust me, I’m just speaking on the most minimal way this affected me...

I remember later that year, I got my first ferrari and I was like, this is the end all of all my problems, I got a rari…. I’m gonna hit the streets… and yeh, after a few months, the shit got soooooo old. I mean, it was cool for myspace, but inside, whether I had depth in knowledge, I was empty inside….. most peeps are like shit, I got $250,000, I’m gonna cop a lambo or ferrari…. okay, how much will insurance cost? over years and years? how much is an oil change? ($1,200) how much is service and maintenance???? never thought about that, so I worked out things fortunately and finally got rid of that car in 2006 and didn’t take a real loss…. but I learned that that car didn’t mean shit to me really but a few good rides and a lot of looks from those who really didn’t matter to me. my dream car became a car I liked….. just because you have $250,000 in cash, doesn’t mean you can afford a $250,000 car. Never buy a car as an investment…. if you got it, then you “got it”

What I mean about the above paragraph is that I had so many cats who were hustling and struggling always telling me, “shit dog, we ain’t guaranteed tomorrow homey, we on these streets…. matter of fact, we ain’t even guaranteed tonight! so let’s get our stunt on and live life!”
yeh, that’s cool. I understand and I know how to live life, but I now demand more in life, I still live my life, but I also live for tomorrow and with that said, my lifestyle has changed. I’m not a leopard(metaphor). So with a lifestyle change and some adjustments, I can now worry about “tomorrow” and save some for my loved ones… save some for later. the glass is half full right now and I just lost one of the most important things in my life and I fucked around and forgot what that person meant to me…. so I can’t keep doing the same.

People say “don’t change” naw….. I say “don’t change everything”

I never thought I’d say this, but I totally understand that, these little things don’t mean much later in life if you don’t have love in your life. good friends, all that. If you never had love, you may not understand, for those who do, you may take it for granted….. for those who never had a ferrari or bentley, that might be so far fetched…. then for someone like me who worked my brain and body off to get one and realize, yes it’s cool, but that shit won’t change me…. and I’m not saying i’ll go to a lesser car even though I did get a prius, I’m saying, I understand the difference between automobiles, but I don’t really care too much to let those cars run my life….. not even jewelry… I’m just concerned on stacking and less trapping….. you don’t have to be humble, it’s kinda hard to be humble and push a $100,000+ whip. Just be more conscious.

If I was on course to live the same lifestyle I did from 2006 – 2008, I would be dead broke right now… in fact, most NBA players would be broke right now. BUT i’m good for a while if I ever decided to not do shit…. so now, I still work, but I chill a lot more…. remember, there’s a lot of rich as fuck folks out there in condos…. and a lot of not that rich folks in mansions or big homes….. with gold passing $1,700 I’m kicking myself for not putting everything I had or at least 90% of my worth in gold…. but it’s still all good.

Now on the flip side, I sell luxury custom jewelry and I’m not saying not to buy jewelry…. I still buy nice things that I like for me or Nic or my fam, I’m saying, no need to cop the state of Cali…. you can still have your Jesus piece

Peace

I hope this blog entry can help at least a couple people.
have a great day

2011-08-14T09:57:00.000-04:00

One of my good friends has introduced me to one of his friends that has been working on an online site which is geared towards the fitted hat, or "snapback" lovers out there. He has been doing business for quite some time before the launch of his website, and is looking to continue to grow his business. Here is a direct quote from his site in regards to what Love Thy Fitteds (LTF) is all about.

"LTF is a brand established to bringing excellence & elegance to the fitted/snapback community.

4YallEntertainment - God Damn! Power Band [VIDEO]

2011-08-14T08:24:00.000-04:00

While watching a few videos on World Star Hip-Hop I actually came across two "4 Yall Entertainment" comedy videos. One of the videos was "Planked - The Movie", and a bit more recently, "Can You Relate Pt. 2".

One of the things that really grabbed my attention was the fact that their company name was really close to my company name. Only thing is that we do two different kinds of business.

Anyway, aside from all that, they seem to have been putting out videos since earlier this year. I like the fact that they put some time into doing something positive, and constructive. Check out the video below, and hit "Read more" for the bonus video they recently put out.

A lot of people I asked about it, said they either haven't heard of him, or haven't heard the mixtape yet, so I'm putting this out there so that you can check it out.

The guys over at ENtourage Ent. have been putting on the "Kinda Like A Big Deal" party series for a while in Toronto. I don't think I can put this any better than the way they have described it, so here is a direct quote from their event information.

One of the most diverse parties in Toronto is coming to an end. Kinda Like A Big Deal has been a hub for great music, beautiful people, and an all around fun vibe.

With that being said, come out to Kinda Like A Big Deal "The Last Call" @ The Vue (195 Galaxy Blvd.) on September 9th and let's have a toast to the end of a memorable event series, but embrace the beginning of a dynasty.

They have done a great job to bring a very diverse party to the city. The idea behind this party series was all about unity. If you have never been to one of the "Kinda Like A Big Deal" events, now is the perfect time to see what it's all about. This one is going to have an amazing DJ line-up, and great mix of music. The flyer can be found below. You can contact any of the guys on the flyer for advance tickets, or contact me for more information on the event/advance tickets.
