Mixtape(s) coming!!! (I SWEAR this time lol)

'Ellooooo! I'll be making a video about this in a few days but i just wanted to give an extra heads up to the few of you that actually come here lol :)

I know I've said literally for the past 9 months or so "The mixtape is coming soon!" so i don't blame you if you're skeptical about this new promise, but it really is coming. One of the many reasons it's taken so long is the mere fact that i couldnt put together a track list to save my life. Trying to pick 12-15 songs to put on the tape was just too difficult for me, though I like certain tracks better then others, I LOVE them all (otherwise I never would have done them lol). So in a nutshell what I've ultimately decided upon is to release TWO mixtapes, 1 right after the other.

The first one will be "Pursuit of Rappyness" and will feature a little more heavily on more serious and themed tracks (i.e "Music Sounds Better With You" and "I Need a Doctor"), and the second, which I'm calling "The Udder Truth", will be chiefly the more hyped up, punch-line heavy tracks (i.e. "In the Building" and "6 foot 7"). I have 2-4 more tracks to do for each, but mainly as soon as i finish the title track for PoR i'll put that one out. That being said, I PROMISE i'll have a mixtape out before I start school on the 29th, and then hopefully the subsequent one won't be that far behind. I'm really sorry for the wait guys!

As just a little treat here's the tentative album art for "The Udder Truth":

Thanks for reading everyone! I love all you guys! :)

Mixtape is coming along....pretty nicely :)

So i'm finally getting around to organizing the mixtape :)

Mainly just picking the tracks I've done that are my favorite and re-mastering them as needed (a LOT of them were before I learned my still horribly weak mixing/editing skills, which is why the older stuff has MUCH more static, etc. then the newer stuff). Also still recording some new stuff, I have ADD when it comes to my songs, cuz i have a bunch of stuff I've been sitting on for months, but then i end up writing a new song, getting really excited about it and recording that one, so the others keep getting pushed back lol. Because of this, i'll probably be doing a Volume 2 of the Pursuit of Rappyness, cuz there'll be too much stuff for a single mixtape. The one song I REEEEAAAALLY need to get done is one called "Pursuit of Rappyness" lol, obviously I need to finish the title track ;)

These are the tracks that are 100% ready to go:
Music Sounds Better With You
In The Building
I <3 Haters
Real Lies
Swag Surfin
Popular
No Hands
Green and Yellow
Opposite of Adults
Shitty Boy Swag
Keep Watching Me
Ridin' Solo

Tracks still needing to be remixed/re-edited:
Venting
Paypa
Airplanes
I Love College
Right Above It

And these are yet to be recorded (the ones with a * are FOR SURE gonna be on PoR, the others might not, that'd be 27 tracks and that's kinda long, but we'll see):
Hater Rap
*Sleeping in the Clouds
I Rap Better Then You
*I'm Me
*Pursuit of Rappyness
Vybe to it
What Up
Mean Mug
*Window Shopper
*As The World Turns





Anyways, just wanted to let you know I'm definitely trying to finish this thing up :)

Rap Diary/Bars-a-Day/Yadda Yadda Yadda

Ok so for my first excursion into this blog-for-updates-thingy I’d like to share something that I’ve been thinking about doing and will probably at least experiment with. Basically, what I want to do is be able to post videos during my semester that still have some semblance of quality to them, and a main priority being on their simplicity, as I won’t have too much time to spare. This combined with my fascination with the “16 bars-a-day” rap storytelling videos of guys on YouTube such as Wax has led me to want to implement something of that sort on my own channel.

The plan initially was to do some sort of “16 bars-a-day”, like I’ve seen done before, but that would probably be a little bit too stressful on my time to do that everyday. So then I decided I’ll just cut it down to 8 bars a day, but then that’ll be too short to make individual videos for just 8 bars, that’s kinda lame. So finally I came to what I will (probably) do: I’ll do a sort of “rap diary” for 8 bars (or more if I feel like it, but 8 minimum) every day, and then I’ll put them together at the end of the week and make a compilation video. So I think I’m gonna give this a shot, we’ll see what happens.
