After what feels like years, I finally made wrote a whole song, music and lyrics.  I started getting worried for a moment. I think the inspiration came from knowing I’m rocking with the band “Judah Tribe” next Friday at the Old Bay in New Brunswick for Lyrical Graffiti. Thanks Nabil.

Peace.

I think it was an interview with T.I., where he said, “in order to get what you aint ever got, you gotta be willing to do what you ever done”. Don’t quote me but I know he said something like that. So here we go.

Bob Marley on how to love a woman

“You may not be her first, her last, or her only. She loved before she may love again. But if she loves you now, what else matters? She’s not perfect - you aren’t either, and the two of you may never be perfect together but if she can make you laugh, cause you to think twice, and admit to being human and making mistakes, hold onto her and give her the most you can. She may not be thinking about you every second of the day, but she will give you a part of her that she knows you can break - her heart. So don’t hurt her, don’t change her, don’t analyze and don’t expect more than she can give. Smile when she makes you happy, let her know when she makes you mad, and miss her when she’s not there.”

- Bob Marley

Elhzi said everything.  For Aspiring Artist.

So I run into this guy Pacewon and ask him to come to the studio to meet Rick. You ever heard of him?

derelictprints:

I did some work for the guys over at Power House Tattoo in Montclair. If you’ve never been you should check it out. It’s right on Bloomfield ave. If you do know them you should come in and check these out. They are putting them up for sale.

Cool stuff.

I did a quick beat box at Rick’s. This is actually for Chris Brown. Get him to work with me to bring this one to life. So far in the beat I got the drums, bass, horns and light keys. I’m a build out that when some musicians. Enjoy!

To say the least. I put so much energy in the first performance, the only thing I could do after was read poetry. Remember drink lots of water and lay off the booze. Recording can be a strenuous process.

Artist moment…I see a guy on the train, keeps looking up, then down at his note pad and scribbles. He looks up, then down at his note pad, and scribbles. He looks up and examines a man in a black wool coat and glasses with some interesting facial features. Then he looks down at his note pad and scribbles. He looks up again and the man with the wool coat and glasses is looking towards his direction. The guy with the note pad sighs and closes his note book. He looks up and we both smirk. Artist moment.

The master in the art of living makes little distinction between his work and his play, his labor and his leisure, his mind and his body, his information and his recreation, his love and his religion. He hardly know which is which. He simply pursues his vision of excellence at whatever he does, leaving others to decide whether he is working or playing. To him he’s always doing both.

I love when this happens.

So I’m going into the studio this Friday to lay down the verses for a song I have with Theresa Cooke. Rashaun made another track that sticks to you like glue. See you Friday Rick

Matty Matt did this piece.  It was in the inside of the Tattoo Shop, this cat Julio once owned.   I love Matty’s work. I remember asking Matt if he would do a piece, when I opened up for the Wu for the first time.  He always had these remarkable pieces he would do.  My favorite was this snake head he did. It was so detailed, airbrushed. I wonder what he did with all those pieces after he left the Tattoo Shop.

My Mind

“I Need You” Live @ Starland Ballroom

HAPPY NEW YEAR  I know that was late, but I’ve been hard at work for the last month trying to make some changes to the way I conduct my business, so please be patient with me, as I roll out a whole new business, new music, and new regimen.  WINNING AND LOSING  This past year, I have had my share of failures and successes.  Some of those highlights were going on the Star and Bucwild Show, being nominated for the “Essence of Hip Hop” award by the UMA’s, opening for Lloyd Banks, having my single “I Need You” reach the Top 10 in the College and Underground Radio markets; as well as closing the year out as the opener for Wu-Tang Clan.  Some of those lows were a cancelled tour, being unable to release the “Johnny Velvet” project, and finally losing my business partner of the last 6 years.THE SHOW MUST GO ON!Losing Rob Young, the other half of RADIOWRECK, LLC., was devastating but the show must go on. With a Bachelor’s in Marketing and a tremendous work ethic, Rob Young kept the wheels to the machine called RADIOWRECK spinning. He’s not only a great brother, he’s a great business person as well. I wish him well in all his of his ventures. Visit him at his latest venture www.yourbetterhalfnow.com.LET’S WORKWith the new found success of the “I Need You” single, I am looking at building a team to help take on the overwhelming amount of work that comes with new successes and failures. To inquire on how you can be part of the RADIOWRECK family, please send an email to iamuniversol@gmail.com. I am looking to build with all business men and women seeking to do work within the New Music Industry.NEXT UP*As of this newsletter the “I Need You” single has been on the charts for 10 weeks and has reached #4 and #9 in the College Rap Radio Market. You can find chart updates on the following sites.  www.rapattacklives.com  www.recordbreakerscharts.wordpress.com* “I Need You (Remix)” featuring John Robinson now available on iTunes* See live footage in the studio of the making of the remix BREAKIN’ OUT THE BOX

The College Radio reporting just started back this year and after 10 weeks on the charts the “I Need You” record has moved to number. Thank you everyone.

Just a heads up, I’m hard at work preparing nothing but my best for you. Thanks again.

Peace

Sometimes I get really busy, so if I don’t get in contact with you right away, please forgive me.

…..Except that there is NO struggle

ART always wins! Then the business of it fails and the ART loses. ALWAYS. Business is not EVIL. Art is not a badge to wear. it’s a fucking affliction That does not need to be compounded by bad business Or worse… the denial that business exists. -Martin Atkins (@marteeeen) on Twitter

For me this sums up everything. Damn I’m glad I bought this book. Thank you.

Touring is war, according to Martin Atkins (@marteeeen). If that’s the case, I’m building my strategy.

I’m reading this “Tour: Smart” book by Martin Atkins(@Marteeeen) and something so simple that every musician/artist can use popped out - “EARLY IS ON TIME - ON TIME IS LATE”

I have to learn how to say NO! Without being an a**hole about it.
