New Mixtapes and Updates from Real Rappers

May 10, 2008 | Tags: Hip Hop, Music, cp, free, mixtape, don, download

Yo, hip-hop DX I'm sorry about the wait. I'm a slackin ass motherfucker. So what's been up with me since the last blog? Well I don't know if it was already said, but my life is a lot different being that my dad died on New Years Eve. So '08 got off to a rough start for me. It also disrupted a lot of things in my life being I had to do a lot of traveling I wasn't expecting to do in January. But all in all, I'm good. My dad was a great person, and I'll miss him until I'm buried myself, but he also didn't spend his energy being angry or unhappy about things that he couldn't change, so I'm trying to follow his example. Anyway, I've been having some cash flow problems this last year, so I remedied that by getting a second job, which is running me ragged right now. I work 7 days a fuckin week people. Mondays and Tuesdays are like my days off because the workload is light and the hours are short, but never the less I work every day of the week. It's been great for my pockets and horrible for my art and social life. But fuck it, work is work, and I need that income. You know I didn't even think about it but its totally possible that none of you give a damn what my personal life is like, and I haven't said anything about any of the projects I'm working on, so I digress. The StashBox is coming along nicely and for the most part done (NOTE: Tape is now finished... [click to download] ... check it out!) The DC/CP album is next up for work, along with my solo full-length album, which is as of yet untitled. But both projects already sound crazy, soon all yall will hear what I'm talkin bout. Then the project with Midi Marc and myself is already off to a crazy start, and he keeps sending my fire ass beats, I know that record is going to be off the chain as well. I fit marks beats in a way that makes me wonder if we've known each other before this life started. Anyway that's my crazy ass update holla at cha boi www.myspace.com/cprhymes

Peace readers. I'm not sorry about the wait ... nor am I a slackin ass mother fucker ... I just been banging out music and chicks left and right. (baby if you're reading this I'm so sorry you know you're my world and those other bitches don't mean shit to me ... remember when you caught me and Melody last night ... we really were wrestling and yes I was sleeping next to you the whole night on friday...and all those naked pics of my boys mom and I were photoshopped) ... anyway I been busy working as well ... not on some slave cook me them mozzarella sticks and southern friend CP bullshit but on some my boss is a cheap fuck and I don't get paid half as much as I deserve shit ... wait ... did I say I wasn't on some slave work shit. anyway I been working on 3 cds and me and CP's shit is sounding crazzzzzzzzzzzzzy. we got some clever shit on there and have spent numerous hours freestyling gibberish over the phone and taking extreme drugs to design concepts. We even got some help from our fans; one fan wrote "you and CP should do a song about groceries but switch it up and really make it about a robbery" ... our fans are telling us everything not to do with our album and we love it! On the real though cop CPs mixtape ... its $free.99 and its dope ... he got Nappy Roots, Skyzoo, Wordsworth and fools like me on it ... check out my o so classic drop on that bitch as well. I'm dropped a collabs and unreleased project a few weeks back [click to download] ... me and CP gonna throw some quick bullshit together for the next blog as well .... peace

The Real Lives of Rappers

November 12, 2007 | Tags: Hip Hop, don cerino, cp, hide and seek

Before reading this blog you should know that Cerino and CP were not together for it's creation...in fact Cerino wrote his part of the blog about a month before we got CP's half...so this might seem a bit disjointed. No need to fret, CP is now in NY for at least a month and we will have plenty more blogs for ya' soon.

So we should have been on blog #5 by now, but CP scared us and played a "make everyone think I'm dead or locked up" trick. I hate those. I told that fool from the start - I'll do this CD under one condition - neither of us pull a "make everyone think I'm dead or locked up" trick. Me, I was really locked up, on some bullshit tip - scratchin' numbers in the walls so I don't forget them - but I had proof - bologna sandwiches with no cheese and molded bread, new friends with felonies, and a weeping mama. Anyway CPs been lost in the mix for a bit but so have I - at least from this music thing. I started a new 9-5, which is more like an 8-6 and its kickin' my ass. The plan is get enough to money to get out of debt, get my own place, hook up a real studio, and afford to put together a track with Fat Beauty produced by Premo. So far so good, except the Fat Beauty thing - does anyone have a direct contact to this guy? So while CPs been playing hide and seek with the world and attempting to get his hand pregnant, i forgot what our CD sounds like. somehow I remember most lyrics (yeah I'm nice like that) but I'm dying to hear the music. Jon (manager) and Joe (engineer) forgot what it sounds like as well and are excited, shaking in their little bootleg timbs from 27th. (Jon/Joe edit: Cerino is pissed about his shoe game or lack thereof) Jon and Joe should actually open a pizzeria or a restaurant just because Jon and Joe's sounds so good. I'll do the marketing. Speaking of marketing it's time to start really thinking of ideas for this CD, putting final touches on it, getting our secret (muahahahaha) collabs, and getting this shit to a label. We all got other surprises in the mix but i guess you'll have to wait til CP hops out the tree with the pro tools sessions. Anyway stay tuned for some good blogs, funny material, and a bunch of other silly shit - I'm so sick of normal blogs. It seems everyone has a blog now, I think Whoopi Goldberg has a blog on one of these sites actually. I recently seen a rapper I do not like on a site I do love talking about things I don't want to hear about (keepin' up?). So, just for that, our next blog will be question and answer style...first with CP asking me questions (that I do not know about yet) and me asking CP questions in the forthcoming.

p.s. Random thought - we should call the album HIDE AND SEEK. I got the cover in my head already. haha

So here's whats been the deal with me. I have been in Tennessee since we got together to start recording the album, and haven't had a job since I came back. Shit has been kinda rough, especially since my car is dead, and it looks like its gonna be cheaper just to buy another car rather than fix this one. Sharing a car with my girl is tough, she gets off work at like 4 in the mourning and now that I do have a job it's concrete staining and I gotta be up at 7 in the morning. Sleep is a commodity at this point, plus getting ready for this show in November needs to kick into high gear. So theirs my fuckin life right now, throw in some eating, drinking, and smoking and that's my daily. But who really gives a fuck about that shit, you wanna hear about the music. I have a mix tape finally fuckin finished, waiting for the final touches from BK1. This tape is dope, I've been trying to think of what I want to do for design and title and stuff and that shit is always so hard for me to decide. I suck with that shit, but I want every aspect of it to reflect me, so I feel like I need to have my fingers in every aspect of making it. Anyway, that's probably gonna be online for download soon, and I really wanna have it for sale at the November 16th show at the Knitting Factory. Here's to hopping that happens (take a shot). The album that Don and I are recording sounds amazing but has been on a little hiatus. But don't worry well be back on it soon, and when that shit drops it will be the most beautiful day ever… I think that album will be ill. But I digress, right now I gotta go to bed its fuckin 6:25 am… night.
