My Niggas/My Bitches

Go to Concepmakelove.blogspot.com and check out the most inspiring, talented artist ive ever met.. This is something that he wrote along with my response. My response is dedicated to my bitches. You know who you are ;-)

"My niggas got dope,
They got ambitions,
Common sense,
My niggas got lil goals,
Babies to feed, families,
My niggas got hand me down handguns on kitchen tables,
50 bags and grippers,
My niggas push Lacs, Regals, and Classics,
They drink Highlife and live life high,
My niggas ain't sorry,
They clean, my niggas ain't f*cking with you,
My niggas got jokes,
They got talent, and responsibilities,
My niggas is here and there,
My niggas about they bread,
My niggas is hard, they frustrated,
They motivated, they sitting around the house, they locked up, they in this mans military,
My niggas is on that sh*t,
My niggas really don't give a f*ck.
My niggas is on a few fingers,
My niggas is like my family,"
-Concep(myspace.com/concepcompany)

My bitches got dreams
They aspire to be more,
love more, give more, contribute more
My bitches are royalty
Queens in purple and gold camouflage
Patiently awaiting their day of recognition
My bitches are fly
And they dont rock gucci, prada, fendi or house of dereon
Cuz my bitches dont need any name besides their own to feel priceless
My bitches are all colors
From the lightest peach to the deepest brown
And proud, theres no tanning beds or bleach creams 'round here
My bitches walk with their heads high
Switchin their hips in high heels or a fresh new pair of kicks
My bitches handle their shit like a man
But take care of their men like a ladies
And if they dont have a man thats ok
Cuz my bitches love themselves
They have high self-esteem
They aren't co-dependent
My bitches are resourceful
My bitches are artistic
My bitches are powerful
My bitches have minds of their own..
-Kalae All Day

Subway Subbatical

I know its spelled sAbbatical.. Dont try to correct me, I have artistic freedom. So I have taken the train every where, almost every single day since I was.. BORN so I decided to write a song about riding these trains. These trains that used to be $1 or so when I was growing up.. That used to have beautiful graffiti, washed off before my time.. That used to run efficiently? I dont know if that ever happened. But I do know that life in NYC is hectic and sometimes getting on the train can be a relief from the busy streets.. You got your mp3 player on or if your old school, your CD player. If you live under a rock, your cassette player.. Maybe you want to seem intelligent so you pull out a book or you want to stay relevant so you read the newspaper that someone kindly left on the seat next to you.. Or maybe you enjoy obnoxiously loud conversations with your neighboring train pedestrians. Whatever it is you do, its just masking how horrible a train ride can truly be..

"dropped back in the subway
im feeling like a back drop
didn't have no change
so like pancake i hop
my tunnel vision strained
cause im used to street top
and im goin insane
claustrophobia detox
they scuffing up my kicks
so my lid is bout to pop
theres so much pressure in my brain
that my ears do the same
substantial looks
got crooked by an mp3
theyre reading books
or hooked on a hand held D
S
catchin Zs and being stressed
overlooking that theyre blessed
body elbows to the chest
i regress
i get pissed
like homeless man that missed
got the whole car smelling like shit
clenched jaw and fist
holding to the rail with my wrist
so i can act like germs dont exist
wholy moly donut shop buddy
got his boots all muddy
standin two feet from me
and i will homey
have a plot to kill homey
if he dont stay still homey
for real homey"

hahahaaa

KALAESHOW

"I am an excitable person that only understands life lyrically, musically, in whom feelings are much stronger than reason. I am so thirsty for the marvelous that only the marvelous has power over me. Anything I cannot transform into something marvelous, I let go. Reality doesn't impress me. I only believe in intoxication, in ecstasy, and when ordinary life shackles me, I escape, one way or another. No more walls" -SOCRATES

I learned about this quote in yoga class today and had to share it with all of you because I feel it completely embodies my views and perceptions of the world around me in the most simple, comprehensible way.

Props to Charlie!

So, a few months ago I was at an awsome brooklyn house party surrounded by swaggalicious brooklynites and I had been working on a song about how much Kalae loves her some BK boys, so I decided this would be a perfect time to do some research! I started a convo in a circle of beautiful brooklyn boys that made my knees buckle (I hide it well :D) and it pretty much went like so..
LADY K:"Can I ask you guys some questions? See im writing a song about Brooklyn Boys and i was hoping to pick your brains about a few things.."
SEXY BROOKLYNITE #1: "Oh like that Charles Hamilton joint?"
LADY K: "Huh? What Charles Hamilton joint?"
SEXY BROOKLYNITE #2: "You don't know Charles Hamiltons new joint 'Brooklyn Girls?'"
LADY K: "Eh, neh.."
SEXY BROOKLYNITE #3: "You that shit is fya, you gotta check it out.."
LADY K: "Shit!.. What should I do??"
SEXY BROOKLYNITE #1: "Do a remix.."

And this is the story of how this song came to be.. So now may I present to you, BROOKLYN BOYS (Charles Hamilton Brooklyn Girls Remix) By: Kalizzle All Dizzle :D

ENJOY!

ps. I worked damn hard to make this video so pay attention damnit!

KALAEOUT

Grrrrrrrrrrrrr..

So for those of you who have spoken to me in the past 3weeks should already know Ive been "watching" what I eat by "eliminating" animal products and by-products.. So far Ive been pretty good with a small slice of cheese here and a piece of sushi there and honestly I wasn't finding it hard at all until my roommate started cooking all this meat in the house and he throws DOWN in the kitchen.. Vegans, any support you can offer to stop me from giving into the sweet smell of veal roasting in the oven? Im drooling just thinking about it.. Help a sista out!



Meanwhile, I got booked for an awesome show at Penn Hotel coming up March 20th with some special surprises.. Okay Okay ill tell you one, SOURCE MAGAZINE will be sponsoring the event! Word to big bird! Any who, here's the preview flyer until I get all the sexy details..





If anyone is wondering where this delicious superwoman pic came from, I did a rooftop photo shoot with a good friend of mine, Adam from AIRIES Photography in late January (yes, I was freezing my ASS off.) Here are a few of the frames..





oh yea you like that..



im so super duper fly..



had to throw it up, can you blame me?
To see more pics from the shoot just visit me at myspace.com/kalaeallday and dont forget to listen to the Charles Hamilton Remix. I've been getting some amazing feedback so i big shout out to those of you who took the time to visit and show love. It was graciously received :D.



Well, enough of that.. heres some ish im writing.. just a teaser.. incase niggas get hungry and start bitin :D

"Your heart raids
Like the centuries of tyrants who marked slaves
Made peasants outta kings in the dark days
Playing my heart you at arcade
Inserting mad wood like an arc aid
Your leadership is unswayed
Even though youre drawing out wrong plays
They follow you always
Can convince anything
Persistently persuade
You think your love is king
It aint even pawn babe...

In an ocean of my tears your racin
To make it to your destination
You'd slit throats for the sake of your declaration
I AM MAN, fuck the unity of a nation
You talk mad shit its crap oration
You almost as bad as these corporations
That make the world turn say the tv stations
But i stay hatin
Since my high school graduation
Your a hard situation
You keep my highs up like a kite mass elation..." -KALAE ALL DAY

New Blog, New Day, New Kalae

Im starting a new blog cause i can.. the old one was so uninspiring. Who blogs at wordpress?? No one.. I just have to go against the grain, its in my nature. Anywho, now that ive uncomfortably conformed to blogger.com Id like to be warmly welcomed by all your lovely blessings left in the form of comments :D mmkk??

So I was working my ass off (literally and figuratively) to bring you the show at The Shrine that was last week on wed.(feb.18th). For those of you who showed, thanks so much! Im pretty sure that was the best set ive done so far in my 8months of performing and im very grateful for the amzingly gifted band that was supporting me that night and for many, many nights to come. The new band consists of a horn/keyboard player, drummer, bass and guitar and they killed it, then beat it with a stick. Im humbled that they wanted to work with me.

Here are some pics from the show:

Tess is fantastic..

Day is wonderful..

Kalae All Day is.. well, you tell me..




Also, I recorded a dope ass melodic remix to the Brooklyn Girls joint by Charles Hamilton called, you guessed it, Brooklyn Boys! You can check that out on myspace.com/kalaeallday. Louis Logic was amazing enough to record for me in his home studio as well as lend his voice on the intro and outro so stop by the page, show some love (or hate its aallllll gooood) and leave a comment.

Much love my beautiful kings and queens, till next time..
