In any event, its been a long time, and I shouldn't have left you, without.. blah blah blah yall know the Rakim sh*t.<br />
<br />
So, what's new with me? Same sh*t different day, music, disgruntled twitter rants, and failed relationships. We had <a href="http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&cd=9&ved=0CFYQtwIwCA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DzM4gV2SyMYI&ei=KfDTTfONCafq0gGnn8D_Cw&usg=AFQjCNFyZJm22oQrYmxArIvrOwTv0yzPiw&sig2=H1bQgRs8KMktvd3yHpJzvw">a very successful release party for ADHD</a> at <a href="http://www.kulturez.com/">Kulturez</a> in Harvard Square.. Since then I've pretty much been spending my nights in the studio working on <a href="http://soundcloud.com/catch-wreck">new material</a>, and my days hunting down Hip Hop celebrities to endorse Scope.<br />

Its been fun. Last week, <a href="http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.210546662312609.59952.132330293467580">I met Tyler and those crazy Odd Future delinquents</a> at the <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vg5f3cePANg">much publicized "riot"</a> at the <a href="http://www.newburycomics.com/">Newbury Comics</a> in-store. I also put some <a href="http://soundcloud.com/catch-wreck">new joints</a> out myself.<br />
<br />
I can't guarantee how consistent I'll be with keeping up with this blog but I will try to keep yall updated as much as possible. Don't forget I also have <a href="http://catchwreckmusic.tumblr.com/">a tumblr which I check a lot more often</a> so don't think I've disappeared completely from cyberspace. Just know bein a RapperSlashBlogger is a lot harder than it looks so cut me some slack.<br />

A couple weeks ago the homey, George Watsky released his video, "Pale Kid Raps Fast" Little did he know, the song would gain millions of plays in less then the first 24 hours of him putting it up.. Apparently a lot of people wanted to see a pale kid rap fast<a href="http://ellen.warnerbros.com/topics/?s=George+Watsky"> including none other then Ellen Degenerous..</a> The video is being parodied by <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g2O-lZcgOv8&feature=related">beatboxers</a> and <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vUh8tH9Z480&playnext=1&list=PL9018D45254EA15C1">other white rappers hoping to ride the wave of popularity</a>. George and I used to joke about the fame and acclaim he got from his appearance on Def Poetry Jam. But fuck Russel Simmons and that tall Israeli, we got the internet. As I write this post the original video has generated 5,587,531 views since originally posted it.. If only there was a link to rapperslashblogger at the end of it.. Hats off to George, he's been forever diligent with his craft since I met him years ago when we both opened for Blackalicious in Boston. Be on the lookout for some new heat coming from the both of us real soon.. in the meantime, watch as he skillfully multitasks, speedrhyming and cat-stroking.. You know you wish you were ill like that...<br />

The Roots album(s), Kanye's return, The Black Keys, the rise of Odd Future, Big Boi, NERD, Smoker's Club, Das Racist, Moe Pope, Bad Rabbits, I could go on for a while.. And though we are only two months deep, so far, it looks like 2011 is off to a real good start as well.. 2 projects in particular have been in heavy rotation and deserve mention..<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://sickhop.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/talib-kweli-gutter-rainbows-album-cover-11.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://sickhop.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/talib-kweli-gutter-rainbows-album-cover-11.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />
First and foremost, Kweli's new joint.. Talb Kweli that is.. The conscious Hip Hop veteran has yet to disappoint and with his latest project, Gutter Rainbows, he proves once again, that it is indeed possible to make positive uplifting music without coming off too preachy. <a href="http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/gutter-rainbows-deluxe-edition/id413113524">Available for sale on itunes</a> and shit like that. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-MzL64EHzE0YfBlBbCZ38zmCfQwvRUIoAGi3ktWrjW3r7GtqPMbbCIsKnV5SWOXpM0o6HUonjw2rFzKSgm-MEAf8y2cw8knCFOmud_pLmO74ZzsMOYBY3xuWW317QOzLbBHPrWTwDx9U/s1600/5th+Echelon+Front+Cover.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="316" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-MzL64EHzE0YfBlBbCZ38zmCfQwvRUIoAGi3ktWrjW3r7GtqPMbbCIsKnV5SWOXpM0o6HUonjw2rFzKSgm-MEAf8y2cw8knCFOmud_pLmO74ZzsMOYBY3xuWW317QOzLbBHPrWTwDx9U/s320/5th+Echelon+Front+Cover.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The second recommendation comes from that wild bunch of hoodlums on the west coast known as the Odd Future Wolf Gang. Journey to the 5th Echelon is a well-crafted masterpiece of production from the Jet Age of Tomorrow. Like all releases from OFWGKTA, this piece is available for <a href="http://oddfuture.tumblr.com/post/2545817651/today-is-the-day-jet-age-of-tomorrow-releases">free download via the OF Tumblr</a>.</div><br />

The thing is, when you have a life, it gets very difficult to keep a blog updated constantly with new material.. Especially when you are the sole-contributor.. If there's any other rappers out there who want to contribute your more than welcome, the more the merrier.. In any event I'm back on this, Happy belated new year to everybody who still bothers to check this, and happy 22nd birthday to me!<br />
<br />
1st things 1st... ADHD will be out very soon and I just put out a new music video! I got mixed reviews about <a href="http://catchwreckmusic.blogspot.com/2010/12/concerto-video.html">my self-edited, overly artsy piece for Concerto</a>, so <a href="http://dongoson.blogspot.com/">Rene Dongo</a> and I teamed up once again to put some visuals with the record, "1Tyme4urMynd". The song and video mark a slightly new direction in my work, a more personal and honest approach as far as the lyrics go. With ADHD, I tried not to limit myself to "sounding like a conscious rapper" when it came to the writing, it was a a risk in terms of how I expect people to react, but so far I am extremely happy with the results. With 1tyme4urmynd, Rah Intelligence supplied a beat that starts off very dark and sinister sounding.. It lets the sun come out for just a moment before going right back into that dark place - very much a reflection of where I was at mentally while writing.. I left song structure alone and decided to just rhyme all the way through the record as opposed to trying to come up with a hook.. When Arcitype and I recorded it, we got it in one take with no punches.<br />

<br />
Note the symbolic transitions and Rene's use of contrasting images throughout the piece. I guarantee your going to want to watch this more than once...<br />

To accompany the Concerto piece I recently released off of the ADHD project, I edited footage Jacob took of me in our top secret location. I know this is something that will get mixed reactions given the content, but I feel like this works with the song in showing the depression that I talk about in the record and what I was going through while writing a lot of the material for ADHD. <strike>The quality of the footage should've come out better given the camera we used, but something got lost in the rendering. I'm still working this out, I haven't edited film in a long time and I used imovie for this so cut me some slack. Other then that,</strike> Jake shot this with his new camera that takes really nice photos and video.. what do you think..?<br />

It would be irresponsible of me as a blogger not to make mention of these dudes. Think the black version of Insane Clown Posse over Neptunes production, with less clown makeup and more swag. Odd Future Wolf Gang Kill Them All is quickly taking over and might be one of the most interesting acts to hit the scene in a long time. These dudes are either on to something, on something, or both, either way, the shit works!<br />

I first came across OFWGKTA a couple months ago via an interview they [Tyler the Creator, their leader] did with the blog <a href="http://coolehmag.com/frontEnd/">Cool'eh</a>. It was such a well-done interview that, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OFWGKTA">I had to find out more</a>. So I started doing my digging. OFWGKTA is a collective of artists, rappers, producers, and skaters with a growing cult following. Since my initial introduction the crew, I started noticing the name pop up everywhere.. I must admit, I didn't get it at first..<br />

<br />
Shit was disturbing to say the least. Over time, however, I continued to follow these dudes and downloaded more of the music, and now the shit makes perfect sense to me..<br />

<br />
These dudes are the Young & the Restless for real. They act it out in a way thats meant to scare the shit out of you but it does make you ask yourself, "How the fuck these kids come up with this shit in the first place?" Thats what makes this shit art! I can't wait to hear what they got in the works but you can be assured I'll be keeping a close eye on <a href="http://oddfuture.tumblr.com/">their tumblr</a> for the latest. You should too..<br />

I am a firm believer that conscious rappers should never be afraid to step out of their element to let a muhf*cka know he can still get smacked. We not the hippy conscious rappers! This joint, which also features Sic Men and Dyverse, reminds me of Wu sh*t from back in the day which should be know surprise since cats also hail from Shaolin (The Stat.. Staten Island if u don't know..)<br />
