The first Lyrics To Go event went very well. So it’s back once again! In collaboration with Tirso Cruz and Back2Pluto, we bring you Lyrics To Go Vol.2 . This time around we’re bringing in a lot more acts and even a bit more of variety. From Hip Hop to Gangsta Rap to Acoustic, Lyrics to Go Vol.2 is something that you don’t want to miss.
On top of that, this is a FREE event for the community for all ages. So come out with whomever you’d like and enjoy the show!
I told you I would take more time to write in my blog. Here is the start!
Today I took time to meet up with local Jazzy Hip Hop artist, m_boogs. I don’t rememebr where I first met Boogs. I believe it was back at the debut night of TheSpotPoetry Open Mic. At that event he performed a capella with Mark II.
We met at a local drink shop to discuss Hip Hop, life, and specifically his upcoming project. Boogs is working on a Jazz influenced collection of music that is so far coming out nicely. Peep one of my favorites of the soon to be released collection, “Crime”.
m_boogs, is bring a fresh vibes which are at times, in my opinion similar, to the much respected emcee, GURU (RIP). We’ll see what Boogs comes out with next!
For many music is recognized as entertainment. For me, music is one of my many flash lights that keep the pathway lit when crossing through unknown paths.

In all the hype for the release of the “BounceJerk” music video, a day before the release, the “Mother’s Day” music video was released. It almost came out of the “no-where” according to many people. Well it kind of did.
The Wednesday before the BounceJerk Music Video release party (Sat), I called J-High (of Checkmate Films), the director of LEAVIN RUTS BEHIND, and proposed that we create a music video for my song “Mother’s Day”. He liked the idea and gave me the “ok”. Immediately after I called various mother’s to see if they would be willing to participate in the video. We planned to film the video on Saturday, knowing that the BounceJerk Release party was that night, and that Mother’s day (The day I wanted to release the video) was the following morning.
That Saturday morning at 9am-ish we all arrived at the part to film the video. We finished filming around noon. After filming, I rushed home to port the footage to my hard drive, spent two hours planning out how I would edit the video, and then prepare for the BounceJerk Release Party. After the release party I returned back to my workspace and edited the video until 7am (Mother’s Day morning), and soon after released the video.
It was quite amazing to film, edit, review, and release a music video in less than 24hours and come out with the result we came out with. I’d call this one a accomplishment.
Thanks to all those who took part in the video! (J-High, Phi, Fre, Aunt Cherelle, Tiger, Elijah) We made a masterpiece!
