So let me break it down again. Its that time of the year when school is ending, people are graduating, and they move on. For 90.5FM, KSJS, the same thing happens. People move on, and on air spots open up for the summer, fall, and spring.

If you ddin’t know, I took a two semester break from school and KSJS. When I was with KSJS, I was grinding hard to get a dope ass on air spot. In order to do that, you have to put lots of hours in, setting up Movie Premiers, Giving Out Tickets, DJing at random places, and Recruiting peeps. I got tired, and just got hired as a full timer at Geek Squad, being a Double Agent. With being full time, it really cuts into the things you could do outside of work. So…

Yesterday, my home girl Dj Savvy, hit me up while at work. Naturally, to quite the noise, I hit the ignore button, to check my messages later, and get back to peeps after work. So then, this girl, starts blowing up my phone, 2 times, 3 times, 4 times…..and I had to pick up. She explains that there are openings for an on air spot at KSJS.

Time seems to freeze, and I sit there thinking deeply. Do I have time to be at KSJS, rep with mad hours and still be killin’ it at work? Who cares….i’ll do it!

So she is a psyched, and I am as well. This is gonna be crazy, I haven’t been on air for a minute, amd its gonna be crazy! She gives me some times, and I choose Wednesday mornings from 6am – 10am.

Here is the playlist for today.

Its been a while since i’ve updated my blog. For the most part, I let my mom borrow my camera, so I haven’t made an effort to post anything. But enough of my whining. Beat updates are coming soon. I just finished recording a few tracks with my homie Martin, as seen a few posts below. We layed down some vocals for the 64 Bitz beat.

I am supposed to be working today….But, as I am at the clients home, I begin to get real light headed, whoozy, and feel like throwing up. I am there to setup his network, and fix his computer that had a virus. I leave the house for a 30 min lunch break and dash to L&L’s to get some grub, hoping it would make me better. After the Chicken *Katsu (*correction, after Kalae informed me its not Catsu) and Rice, I still feel like crap. So I end up calling out sick, and getting my co-worker to finish up the call.

Now I am home here on Youtube searching for cool videos. Check out this video that my homie Starwindz made. Its a blend of Gi Joe intro with Bone Thugs in Harmony. I saw this is how Gi Joe should have started their shows:

I created this beat about 2 months ago. It was a Wednesday morning, I didn’t have work, and I had just figured out how to play Clyde Carson’s – 2 Step (Produced by Dr. Dre Neff-U *Thanks to Dj Luicidal for the correction) on my piano. After tapping keys for about 1 hour, I figured, how cool would it be if I played the keys in a chord and see where I would get. I got a cool 4 bar piano loop, then kept building with violins, bass, then the drums. The very last thing to make this beat thugish was the cold church bells. After that, it was on!

I recorded all the loops to Pro Tools, and worked my magic mixing and doing the finishing composing.

Then, in comes….

my homie from back in the day Martin.

This guy brought his entourage of homies and they layed down a few lines on the track. Then I gave the beat to my boy RS, and he fuxed wid the drumz to make it sound even more gangster! Well, its enough of me talking and here is the beat for download:

So if you don’t know, my job is working at Geek Squad servicing peoples computers at their house. Its my only way of making some dough, to support my music habit. I can’t be a star over night by getting a bunch of loans, buying soo many expensive cars and crying for attention like some other homo thug artists…

Right before the big play off games, the Sharks have been having really awesome street rallies. Geek Squad was there chillin, giving away Gift Cards to the civilians who could make the Nerf Basket about 11 feet away.
