New Music: Fist Dump

Ola.

Welcome to 12-12-2012! Somebody just took a rip and said... whoa bro, far out.

I figure everyone is going to release something on Dooms Day, so why not show a little love to this date instead. Hence I give you, FIST DUMP.

My ode to serious mockery.

Just a little something to hold you down while I get the homie J.B. ILL into the studio and lay some cuts down for the Luxury Rental EP's. Looking towards a January/February release on that.

Enjoy, and help spread the word.

You're beautiful.


Also, you can pick up another FREE download of a recently released Remix of Dead Pulse by Necedah/Suave here: http://bit.ly/UhEQrL

Election Day and Night!

Hello my lovelies.

Just a reminder because with all the commercials and propaganda I'm sure you had no idea there was an election on Tuesday, November 6th 2012? Anyway, make sure you get out and rock the vote, be a part of history, and maybe hurt some friends feelings.

Also, I am providing the entertainment via the wheels of steel for Gordon Hintz Election Night Party! Go Gordo! He is the incumbent for 54th Assembly in Wisconsin if you were curious. The event starts a little after 8pm and is taking place at Becket's center court located in the City Center downtown Oshkosh. This is also the Winnebago County Democratic Party 2012 Election Night Celebration.

Come join us for a night of good spirits, food, friends, and a win!

Halloween is Near!

Boo!

Mega venue with two floors of all different kinds of music, whatever to fancy your taste. Myself, J.B. ILL, DJ G-Spot, and more.

Costume contest with a grand ol' prize of 2 Benny Franklin's. Contests for best group costume and best couple costume too, with each a prize of a 1/4 barrel. Now you're in right?

Looking forward to some creative costumes and lets get extra spooky, gory, BUCK, up in this b*tch!

Once again we will be playing live music at Peabody's Ale House on Saturday, October 13th 2012!

Filling out the bill is DJ G-Spot reppin' the B'Gosh, Toussaint Morrison from Minneapolis, and last but not least my man J.B. ILL joins me for a set on the wheels of steel, not to mention on the solo tip.

Besides a sh*t ton of drunk people acting like idiots, I hope to see you there. 

I'm going to try and recover from this cold flu or whatever the hell it is before Saturday so I can get a little BUCK with y'all. Chicken noodle soup, lots of fluids, one piece of meatloaf, and I just had a pickle. Am I pregnant?

Love,
