Allow me to re-intro-blog-my-ish..HUGGYFRESH...
Woooow, November 24th...you can't be serious?! A) it's been that long since i've blogged? Talk about slackin'! and B) It's exactly a month til' Christmas?! DaaaagY'all! What's been keepin' me busy? Hmm...well first off...to everyone (yes, all 5 or 6 of y'all) who stops by to peep my blog, unless you haven't seen the lil' teaser clip that was blogged prior to this one...The Boombox Mixtape is approachin' completion! Recordings are done, now all thats left is the mixing and mastering! Now don't get it twisted..we haven't halted the momentum, just make sure you keep it locked cuz we keeps it movin' son!
There's all this commotion about "it bein' too cold, blah blah blah", to be perfectly honest..i actually fancy the chill! My only problem would be the rain and / or snow...don't mind the snow at all, just don't wanna drive in it (cuz of everyone else in this city who can't hold their own on the mildly slippery roads!) What can you do, seasons change then you gotta deal with it so that's what i'm gon' have to do! Make sure you keep it locked for future video blog Boombox Mixtape teaser clips not to mention a healthy dose of your hip hop and r&b updates...God Bless Y'all!

My Personal Musical Inspirations
So I opted to chill from the scene and stay in for a 2nd straight night as part of my hibernation deal, or so i'm claimin' haha. So what can I possibly do on a weekend evenin' aside from just sleep? Just as this blog title states, get musically inspired. As most friends know, i'm a member of The Boombox Saints and we're currently working on our first mixtape which is nearing completion and ready for release late '08, so i'm excited for that. I've always had a tendency to ponder a scenario where someone would ask me what artists I idolize and get inspired from. That list grows at a rapid rate but some of the earlier ones are as follows based on lyricism, originality, style and delivery: The New York Giants of course in my mind- Christopher Wallace, Sean Carter & Nasir Jones in addition to AZ, Raekwon, Meth, Deck, Capadonna, Camp Lo, Memphis Bleek, Sheek Louch, Lord Have Mercy (formerly of Flipmode), Tha Dogg Pound (durin' the death row era), Early snoop, Choclair (from the days of 'what it takes' & ride, and damn near most if not all of Kardinal (right from 'On wit da show') just to name a few. As of late i've gotten inspiration from tons of avenues like Luda, T.I., Lupe, Twista, 'Ye, Common, Banks, Game, Rick Ross just to name a few as far as commercial artists go, but i've gotten inspired more-so from artist that I find through the mixtape circuit like Wale, Kid Cudi, Gemstones, Cory Gunz and more notably Mickey Factz. The talent that's circulating right now is incredible, so much that it not only inspires me but motivates me to add a different aspect of my delivery style. Because of the numerous outlets via the internet, artists now spread their buzz a lot faster. Which adds to the anticipation of completing The Boombox Mixtape. I came across a couple artists that gave me that "hype" feelin' which is what sparked me to blog @ 4:45am haha..go figure. The first artist is yet another chicago native (chi-emcees = guaranteed quality) who goes by the name of The Boy iLLinois (Click on the link for more info). Track selection, flow and style are all undoubtedly sick, which is why I definitely suggest downloading his mixtape titled 'Inhale Pt.1State Representative'. The 2nd artist is, surprise surprise, another native from the 'go who goes by the name of Hollywood Holt (Click on the link to peep his site). There's a link on his site where you can download his mixtape as well, definitely a good listen and worth the hard drive space!
I was also watching a clip of Jay-Z's 'Reasonable Doubt' documentary and got inspired off that. In a nutshell, Hov disects tracks off his classic lp and just got a reminder of how much of genius the self proclaimed 'God Emcee' is. His word play is bananas, definitely somethin' to study and appreciate! Some facts that came up in that documentary that jumped out at me were that he was 26-27 when he made reasonable doubt, DAMN! So its never too late to master your craft! Secondly, Irv Gotti was Jiggas DJ?! Yeah the same Irv Gotti who went into the Def Jam offices and demanded a label of his own and declared that he would take over the Def Jam label. Well, he didn't take over the house that Russel built but became the CEO of the conglomerate that was home to artists like, Ja Rule, Ashanti & Lloyd known as Murder Inc. Give respect where it's due. Rocafella y'all!
