Just like my other recent EP release, it's alive, this newest one, ‘born to run’, consists of a short collection of live jams. These jams were recorded during the span of 2 days in June of 2023, so a bit longer than a year ago now. The main difference between the two projects is that … Continue reading NEWEST ELECTRONIC EP RELEASE: ‘born to run’
Today’s post is still part of my daily blogging experiment of posting at least 500 words a day, but I’m temporarily putting the subject I was writing about yesterday to the side, since today is the official release date of the newest rap project I’ve been a part of, and it wouldn’t be right not … Continue reading NEWEST RELEASE: EXCEEDINGLY DOPE THINGS, VOL. 1
This is part of my writing series of posting at least 500 words a day, but it's a break from the topics I've been writing about, since today is the release date for my newest electronic EP, 'it's alive.' Although I had been making beats on FL since as far back as 2010, it’s only … Continue reading NEW EP, ‘it’s alive’ OUT NOW. A collection of Live Acid Jams
So, with yesterday’s post I started exploring the comparison between old-school and new-school hip-hop. I concluded that, even though both are guilty of including negative content in their lyrics and being careless with their words, at least the earlier generations of rappers cared about the craft and were dedicated to making the music dope. The … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 25: Old-School vs. New-School Hip-Hop
Today’s post is a continuation of what I was writing yesterday, after having completed a recap of my first 20-something days of daily posting. If it’s your first time reading a post of mine and don’t want to read the recent recap, just know I’ve been writing about music, more specifically hip-hop, and about its … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 24: Why Is Hip-Hop Dying?
So, now that I got that recap out of the way, I’m ready to continue with the topic I left off on. Hip-hop is the music I mainly chose to create, because it was the first genre to inspire me with its potential to be a powerful tool for change, and because it was a … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 23: We Think of Ourselves as Above Being Influenced
Yesterday I started a recap of where my current daily writing experiment has brought me so far. I didn’t get to finish it, so today is a continuation of my attempt at a recap. As I mentioned, I started Day 1 by questioning the legitimacy of stream-of-consciousness writing, wondering whether writing for the sake of … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 22: Where My Current Writing Experiment Has Brought Me
So, I started this 500-words-a-day experiment on July 1st. I’ve posted on here for 20 days straight, and it feels good to stay consistent. It’s nowhere near my record when it comes to daily posting but that’s okay. I don’t remember how long I’ve gone for before but I should probably check soon so I … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 21: Recap / Reason to Write Pt. 2
Today's post is a direct continuation of yesterday's, so if you want to follow my train of thought from there, you can check out my Day 20 post to know exactly what I've been going on about up till now. So, what exactly is this negative music I speak of, this negative music that I … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 20: Negative and Positive Music?
Today’s post is a direct continuation of what I posted yesterday. I’ve been writing about music and creativity in general, and hip-hop more specifically, both its positive and negative aspects. Yesterday’s post was about whether, now that I try to live my life in a more deliberate way, I should stop listening to ‘negative’ music … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 19: Growing Out of Old Interests
