"The Sun, The Moon & The Stars" is now on itunes!!!


(Click HERE to purchase on itunes!)

You can now find me on itunes!!!! I just popped my itunes cherry!! This is all so exciting!! I tried to call my mom, but she's not answering her phone!! hahaha! Well, "The Sun, The Moon & The Stars" w/SciryL Cooper is FINALLY out! I feel like we've spent EONS trying to get this EP to the masses so I wanted to give you guys a little background on the music.

For those of you who are familiar with "AFROMATiKNEOHiPPiEROCK*SOLEMUZiK" there was a hidden track at the end called "Eclipse." I wrote this song about a year and a half ago to a bassa nova track produced by Tstylz and it became a fan favorite. To my surprise less than a week after recording it, SciryL surprised me with his own version called "Gravity" which completely took my breath away. He is such a talented MC and lyricist I was STUNNED by his singing ability. After listening to his POV I wrote a response and the song became a call and response between male and female celestial bodies, beckoning each other and thats how the title track "The Sun, The Moon & The Stars" came into play. Once we had this concept we kept it rolling and "Space Travel" came about as our more "Hip Hop/Dance" version.

After performing these songs ALL of NYC there became a high demand for the music so we made the lovely, hard hitting, rhyme spitting intro track "S&M" (Sun and Moon) and put all this great music together to make "The Sun, The Moon & The Stars" EP.

I really hope you enjoy it. I will post the lyrics soon.

Men are better artists.

Or so I've heard. I recently found myself in a conversation with some like minded individuals where I was told that "No Offense" but men are better artists and not necessarily because they are more talented but because they are more competitive. At first I thought, what? this is ridiculous! I know plenty of amazing female artists that could paint circles around most cats. They continued to explain to me that they're not saying there are no good or GREAT female artists but that they are rare since women are not as competitive as men. That competitive nature compels men to work harder on their craft not because thats how they feel but for the sole purpose of being better than the next guy. To flaunt their feathers, if you will. After a long time sitting down with the thought I said to myself "okay.. they have a point." Ladies, don't hate me. It's a hormonal thing. They have testosterone and they're not afraid to use it! Relating this to the rap world, I then asked myself, am I a good rapper? "Yes" I thought, but am I the best rapper? I would say "absolutely not," but I know for a fact that when asking any male rapper if he's the best rapper he would say yes with out thinking twice. And even if he didn't 100% believe it, he would at least have aspirations to be the best rapper. Do I have those aspirations? No. Is this a problem? This is fascinating to me because I wouldn't ever consider myself to be competitive. Should I be? Is this character flaw gonna hold me back as an artist? Would I be a better rapper if I decided to be competitive? My choir director in High School used to say "There will always be someone better than you." Maybe she said that to spark some competitive spirit but I misunderstood and took the defeatist route? Can someone that isn't naturally competitive become competitive? Maybe for the sake of an experiment?? Are my OVARIES holding me back?!?!

Hahahaha. I don't know. Just some random thoughts.

I won a New York Music Award for Rising Star!

I am so honored to announce that i have won a New York Music Award for Rising Star! I can hardly believe it. I don't even know how it happened but it did! Im VERY excited to be a part of such a prestigious award that has been awarded to NY cities finest such as Lady Ga Ga and Billy Joel when they were just up and comers. This is the first award I have ever won and Its so validating to know that people are recognizing me and my talents. When I found out yesterday via one of the best NY city rappers out right now, YC The Cynic, I didn't know what to think. I said "huh?" and "what are you talking about?" enough times to make him wanna chew his fingers off, but he dealt with me until I came out of my utter confusion and realized what had happened to me. I won a fricken NY Music Award.. Thanks so much to everyone at the NY Music Awards and shouts to Birthplace Mag for also winning an NYMA and for writing about me constantly. I feel so special right now.
