SIT AND LISTEN IN
CUS THIS IS WHEN
PEN AND STRICT DISCIPLINE
INFLICT A SENTENCING
QUICK AS MINUTEMEN WITH GLYCERIN
AND NITRO
SEE HOW THE NIGHT GLOW?
BLEED OUT YOUR TYPE O
YOU FIGHT FOES
NO INSIGHT THOUGH
SEE HOW YOUR DICE ROLLS
ITS SNAKE EYES WHEN STAKES IS HIGH
YOU BLAME THE SKY
CUS THE PLAYED THE LINES AIMING
CLAIMING YOU AINT AFFRAID TO DIE
NOW TAME YOUR PRIDE AND BREAD BRAGGING
YOU KNOW THATS RED FLAGGING
NIGHT OF LIVING DEAD
NO HEAD LEG DRAGGING
IS HOW THEY LEAVE YOU
USE T HAVE A LID BUT NOW ITS SEE THROUGH
THE TRUTH IS NOW THESE KIDS KNOW HOW TO BE YOU
ITS DISGUSTING THE WAY THEY SLIP DRUGS IN THE GHETTO
WHILE THE THUGS AND THE TRUST FUND KIDS HUNG GEPETTO
ACTING SLEAZY BURNING IN THE HANDS OF GOD
RAPPING IS EASY
LEARNING TO BE A MAN IS HARD
Just a quick update- a video clip of Hocus Pocus and I performing a live version of “Hip Hop” and some pictures from the last show. I was invited to perform at their in-store performance which included some autograph signing- you can see me pretending to be famous and use to it. Also a few pics from my travels…WORD!
Have you heard the new Hocus Pocus album? Wheoo, I am very proud to be a part of this project. Have a listen below- Have a search on youtube for “20Syl” you won’t be disappointed! Yes, so I’m here in Strasbourg for the first day of the tour, stepped onto the bus like…”whooooa…ok, I’m famous.” Nahhhhhh, but you know- its a little different for me in France then it is in the States, I need this, just a little. Check out some of the pictures below- I will try and keep everyone posted with this trip, maybe some live footage? Word! Check out the inside of this bus…
YES! My EP “The Art of Broken Glass” is now in HARCOPY! WORD! Just signed the UPS “Speak and Spell” looking thing, said “Thank you.”, and put them in my “store”. They are stocked! I will be selling these only on my France tour this month, then will make whats left available to everyone April 1st! The first 20 orders will get a signed poster. I did not order a lot of copies so if you are interested keep an eye out for April- I will spread the word! ALSO, be on the look out for the “Friends Enemies Apples Apples” OFFICIAL release this May- with 3 singles dropping in April. Yes, if your reading this , you might already have the album, (THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT!) if so, you can still be a little excited (if you are one to get excited about things) because there will be a couple surprises we will be offering to everyone. In coalition with its official “Friends Enemies Apples Apples” we will be including remixes, extra merchandise, and maybe some NEW music for free!
SIDE NOTE:
I have been getting this question a lot lately, “Where is the best place to buy your music If I want to support you directly?” Well, great question! Since I am an independent artist (I cover manufacturing, promotion, production, press, distribution, etc.) almost anywhere you buy my music (buy not burn) I will see the support. My music career is funded directly from fans. If you would like to buy from the source just visit the store on this site. THANK YOU.
TOUR: IN FRANCE!
I will be flying to Paris to do a handful of dates with my friends and fellows “Hocus Pocus” (more about them below). I am very grateful for this opportunity and guess what, it comes with a tour BUS! Yep, not a 6 person with 7 people in it, run down, 1992 Astro van, parking lot sleeping, Mc Donalds smelling, tour capsule, No… a BUS - 16 passenger! Makes me feel like I’m Garth Brooks. I have been shown a lot of love from the European countries on almost all plains- radio, T.V., film, venues, and FANS- so going out there to perform is something I am proud of. I am hoping for a US tour in June and July- BELIEVE ME I’M TRYING! I’ve hit about everyone I know, venues, musician friends, musicians who don’t know me who might want to be friends, musicians who know me but got signed then forgot about me but didn’t really forget about me they just forgot about the fact that their label is taking away their ability to choose for themselves, hahaha- NO, really- I’m trying and I have had some GREAT fan support and some GREAT leads- so this is possible. The France tour dates are below!
March 16 - Le Transbordeur + Féfé, Lyon
March 18 - La Laiterie + Bazbat, Strasbourg
March 19 - La Vapeur, Dijon
March 20 - File 7, Magny le Hongre

HOCUS POCUS?
The Procussions and myself have been recording and performing music with these guys since 2005. In my opinion they are one of the most slept on groups by “English speakers” (ha) and they have every right to be up there with some of the greatest American Hip Hop groups performing today. 20Syl is an amazing producer! I’m extremely grateful to have worked with him on my first album “Of gods and girls” on the songs, “Amelie”, “Half A Dream”, and “Apathy”. I am currently trying to hustle him into producing an entire album with me- let’s see. Here are a couple video introductions to 20Syl and his group “Hocus Pocus”…but you don’t have to take my word for it… you can go HERE
