Cotdamn that was FUNNNNN!!!

YOOOOO!!!  Just Dropped Noah and Brzo to their respective public transit destinations and am posted up in Starbucks in Boston waiting for my Homie Maestro1ton of Agari Crew before I head back to NYC to Rock my Saturday residency @ Karma Lounge.  I have had THE MOST fun in the past 4 days that I have had in a while!!!  Big shouts to Brzowski (Portland ME), Noah 23 (Gulph, Canada), Nobody Cares (Dover NH), Eyenine (Dover NH), HW (Boston MA) and all the other acts we rocked with on the Zero Gravity Hip-Hop tour!!!  All the shows were super hype, people were really receptive to the music and just straight up fuuuun chillin with the homies for a few days on the road!!!  Even with sleeping on floors and couches that last week, I can’t really quantify how great I feel right now!!!  Thank You Portland ME (Big Easy), Dover NH (The Brickhouse) & Cambridge/Boston MA (Western Front) for having great crowds interested in what we were doing…as well as a BIG shout to Undergroundhiphop.com for letting us post up in the store and out of the heat before the show last night.  If you missed the shows, I’m sure you will hear about them…Now Back to the grind.

Next week is gonna be Choc-A-Bloc with halodoesntsuck goodness…BBE mixtape entry, Interviews, Solo Podcast, Artist of the Week and Much, Much More!!!   Stay tuned for details of the Psuedo Slang North East run I will be doing the first half of August too.  It’s shaping up to be a busy summer!!!

ARTIST OF THE WEEK; WILLIE GREEN

Many great producers don’t get the face time they deserve, which is why this week I made a trip behind the boards to catch up with beatsmith extraordinaire, Willie Green. Originally from Hartford, CT, but now residing in Brooklyn, there’s a good chance you’ve heard Green’s work, but just don’t realize it. He has production credits on the Super Chron Flight Bros’ latest album, Cape Verde, and on Premonition’s just released The Build. Green’s latest solo release is Dirty Jordans and when he sat down with me we discussed the album, why he likes the idea of dirty, rather than clean, Jordans, and what he has in common with some other famous Willie Greens, including an NBA player and an organic farm.  For full Article visit Adam’s World Blog...

Whuttup Wednesday; Recylcing Edition!!!

Hey, Hey!!!  So it is about a million and 2 degrees outside the frosty AC of the Halodoesntsuck studios and I am not feeling it AT ALL…can’t it be winter already, at least fall???  Lots of cool stuff coming up soon; Tour with Noah 23 & Brzowski, Rocking at Live @ 5, a few mixes and some new beats should be all served up by this time next week…Awwww Snap!!!  Wanna say Peace to the two Japanese girls who freaking KILLED it last night at the Full Spectrum showcase.  Tried to converse with the DJ but it was quite clear she had a limited grasp of English…c’est la vie.

[late] Artist of the Week this week is no other than all city famous Beatboxer…Greymatter!!!  Check it…

You may remember a few weeks ago I told a story about meeting two artists while waiting for the 6 train. The first artist was the recently featured Truth Now. The artist that was doing the beatboxing during their freestyle session was Grey Matter. After honing his craft and linking up with Kid Lucky and Beatboxer Entertainment, Grey Matter, although he still loves a good session on the train, has become one of the leading beatboxers in NYC. This week I caught up with him to find out more about how he became interested in beatboxing, why we see so few great beatboxers today, and the secret power of beatboxing that was revealed to him in Paris.  For full article visit Adam’s World Blog…
