#COLLABWEEK Part III

Alright, alright, alright... (Matthew McConaughey voice)! 

For the next #collabweek installment, gotta shout out the incomparable Danse of Bklyn Stickup. Danse is a Brooklyn MC who is carving out a lane for himself with intense and skillful songs. He has the flavor of New York in all the best ways and on top of all that, he's just a down right cool/hilarious person. Danse and I crossed paths through Mr. Busy Rivera and Ms. Karlie Hustle (the now infamous duo) earlier this year and started working together right away.

I had the privilege of sitting in on a couple great shows of his (had a blast) and I am now going to be featured on an upcoming track called HOWL. Super excited about this! 

Just off an amazing performance in Italy this summer, this guys is doing some really exciting things and has certainly earned his success. Please take some time and check out his music!

#COLLABWEEK KICK OFF

Hey ya'll! I've been a little hush lately, but busy busy in some great ways! Lots of music and lots of collaborations over these past few months. Anyone who knows me, knows that I'm a serious hip-hop fan(Stan) and I've had the privilege of jumping on some tracks and writing with some MC's that I admire! Lucky me! 

That being said, I'm kicking off #collabweek today! For the rest of the week I'll be sharing announcements about the artists/projects I'm working with. Some songs I'll share, some you'll have to wait for the goodies! 

Excited to start by giving you all a recent collab I did with the one and only Mega Ran.  I've known Random for many years. We both came out of the Phoenix area and he's had huge success this year with his touring and the September release of his latest album RNDM. This song REVISIONS is about the "miseducation", if you will, that so many of us have experienced in America. As a teacher for many years himself, Random naturally has lot to say about this! Check out the track below! 

Seriously guys, I had so much fun writing this song and recording it. Much love to Random for allow me to share myself here and for putting it on the final album cut! I'm honored. Cheers to many more collabs in the future!

#MusicMonday Album Inspiration

Album Inspiration # 10: Singing Like Breathing 

For those of you who breathe, you'll follow me here. Singing is that necessary. It comes that consistently, that immediately, that intrinsically. It's like my most essential way of communicating. There in lies all the vulnerabilities, all the funk, all the persuasion, all my best parts, my ugly parts. My ego, my fear. As I try to keep everything together, try to hold on to what makes me sane, I always come back to my singing. My body. My instrument. My breath.

Some inspiration for the week. Listen for the hits. The breaks. The stretches. The movement.
