For a dry Red Eye, Clear eyes is awesome.



So I've been trying to jump ahead of the curve, and I've been editing the Laid Back video. So far, so good-- little bit of complications with my make shift GS-- but still workable. Little by little, this will be a strong piece.

On the unfortunate side because of my continuous work on the comp and looking at the screen-- I have gone blind. Only kidding, but I have some serious red eye issues. Plus to top it off my headphones broke. Someone please invest in the Jacob fund, help a poor person get new headphones.

Thank you,

Good Ol' Felt-- A tribute to Christina Ricci, A Tribute to Lisa Bonet, & A Tribute To Rosie Perez. DOPE



Other than that the new Diddy track is amazing, the video is what really made me appreciate it more. Also check out the Lupe rmx.

Witnessing a lot of amazing work.

So this past week I've been surrounded by the most talented Chicago artist. The week started off with going to US BEER CO'S "The Get Down" hosted by ILL Legit, and hearing some of the dopest artist from Mr. ILL Legit himself, Wes Restless, Vertual Vertigo, and 1773. All i have to say is all of these individuals/groups were amazing. The dual group of Vertual Vertigo and 1773 was something I have never seen before in my life. It reminded me of a new school A Tribe Called Quest, with the most ridiculous energy you'll ever witness.

I'm also currently conducting Bradleypalooza which is going to be a 3 hour concert at Bradley University on April 3rd. So far the artist consist of Black Matt, GoodLife, Shapes and Atoms, Isis Rose, ILL Legit, and Blah Blah Blah. This event is going to be DOPE!!!!
Bradley be ready to be amazed without a doubt.

On another note my close friends from GOODLIFE are cooking up some amazing, and let me say amazing tracks. Look out for some of their new stuff "My Addiction", "Soulful Music", and "Laid back"-- the video I'm currently shooting for them. Oh yea and their newly added artist Carlos Hernandez-- this guy is the future to R&B, and I just met him.

Heres a sneak peak:
