2010-05-06T10:27:00.000-04:00

In the midst of judging singers searching for the next pop sensation on American Idol and creating ABDBC, Randy Jackson found a true gem. It's true, dawg. No "pitchyness", no choosing the right song, just good music. Headed by ex-drug dealer Aswan North, this 7-piece band from down south is making some serious noise in the world of music right now. Mixing sounds of hip-hop, progressive rock and

For those asking about what has been going on with RumorzMusic.com, basically Soundclick is being annoying as fuck with getting licensing to songs that I am not even selling, so I'm saying fuck them and moving on. My website is currently under construction and being re-made with a different format. So look out for that within the next two weeks and that should be up and running.

Amazing new song!

2010-02-05T16:01:00.002-05:00

The song that is sweeping the nation. Unbelievable heartfelt lyrics.

The Grind Stoned

2010-02-03T13:15:00.000-05:00

Within the last week or so since the mixtape dropped I have been getting a lot great feedback and people interested in my music and the person behind it. One blog in particular which did a great piece and interview on me was The Grind Stoned. This is a really good blog for those looking to find artists and songs who may not be mainstream but given the right break may make some noise. I highly

The Souloist... Success.

2010-01-28T10:31:00.000-05:00

I want to shout out to those who are new to my music and what I'm about. I thank you guys for taking a chance on an artist you've never heard before. I've gotten a lot of response from The Souloist so far since it dropped two days ago. A lotta love, but what would a rapper be without some hate as well. A special shout out to DJ ILL WILL for helping me with this project, Shake from 2dopeboyz, KP

Listen to Em': Dirk Quinn

2009-12-27T09:52:00.001-05:00

This is sort of an old clip but a great one that I recently remembered and thought was worthy of posting. Dirk Quinn is an amazing young guitarist who has been really making a buzz with his band (the Dirk Quinn Band) and gaining respect as one of the best new musicians on the scene. Here is an amazing cover of his cover of The Who's huge hit Baba O'Reily using a few loop pedals to make it happen.

Hope everyone had a great Holiday and has a good New Years. I've been doing a few shows with Grafite as of late, started a new job, and have been finishing up both the mixtape and album. The album will be coming out sometime in January, so please stay tuned for that because there will be a bunch of free shit to listen to, and it's hosted by DJ ILL WILL. Anyways, here is a funny thing someone

THE BLACK KEYS AND MOS DEF!?

2009-11-26T18:49:00.001-05:00

This is what I have been waiting for. Dope musicians from all sides of the spectrum coming together to make something beautiful. Those who know me are well aware that although I do mainly rap music my interests don't stop at that genre of music. One of my favorite bands on the planet is a group called The Black Keys, a blues rock group made up of only a drummer and a singer. They have been slowly

Listen to Em': CAUSE

2009-11-10T09:58:00.002-05:00

Coming out the heart of New York is one of those rare MC's that doesn't seem phased by the bull shit the mainstream artists seem to get caught up in. For those who enjoy hip hop music with more of a commercial feel, but still enjoy hearing an MC with lyrical talent, meet CAUSE. He has one of those voices that sound dope on any beat, and one of those recognizable signature-sounds you can

2009-11-04T12:57:00.001-05:00

Hey guys, I wanted to keep you posted with what is going on with the music! Me and Josh who is my personal manager/partner in crime have been trying to organize all the music I've been writing and recording as of late. We've got a few great things lined up including a mixtape and an album in the works. After searching around for the right person to host the mixtape, we've decided to go with DJ

BEANIE SIGEL GETTING AT JAY-Z

2009-10-30T14:15:00.003-04:00

There is a new record called Average Cat in which Beanie Sigel gets a few things off his chest, and a lot of those things are aimed at JAY-Z. He has spoke on the record as well, saying that basically, he was frustrated and needed to speak real talk, no diss record. The vibe of the record comes off a little aggressive, but it seems that Beans is basically just stating what needed to be said.

Listen to 'Em: Colin Munroe

2009-10-25T21:13:00.000-04:00

It's a cool thing to see a live band collaborating with rappers and vice versa. It's also a cool thing when you hear a dude come out with something different. Colin Munroe has got a unique sound no matter how you look at it. He plays, drums, sings and keys all on the same song, each on their a tough feat, but together is pretty impressive. Despite his unique singing Indie Rock style, he has

Listen to 'Em: Laws

2009-10-21T11:25:00.001-04:00

In the current age of rap, it's not very often I come across a dude that makes me want to search high and low for his new material. But every once in a while I'm lucky enough to find someone who brings a sound like that, and this time around his name is Laws. He is your future favorite rapper as his mixtape claims, and I tend to agree with him. With a unique space sound to his music and flow,

Happy B-Day to the Ground

2009-10-14T12:44:00.000-04:00

For some reason my blog is having trouble with the word wrap, so I am re-posting what I talked about with Andy Samberg a few days ago... Andy Samberg continues to amaze me with his hilarious antics. Last week on SNL he came up with another great little segment with a song called "On the Ground". He is genius at taking something simple and pretty much stupid and turning it into something funny.

Who Wants to F*ck a Millionaire?..host...

2009-10-14T12:39:00.002-04:00

Who Wants to be a Millionaire? host Meredith Vieira has been known to say some stupid things without thinking. But, I'd say this has got to be one of the funniest encounters I've seen. It may be a little bit of a double standard that a female host can say she is horny on television and not get any shit, and men would probably get ridiculed, but hey, this is hilarious.

RUMORZ NOW ON TWITTER!!

2009-10-06T09:40:00.002-04:00

So last night I went to a hip hop convention at Berklee, where I met a lot of great people in the industry. One person I met in particular was Dawaun Parker, producer and songwriter of some of Eminems newest stuff and one of Dr. Dres proteges. He was a mad cool dude and I was lucky enough to get some advice from him as well as hand him a cd. But yeah he told me I need twitter, so yeah, I've

Brazil is also joining the forces on the GO GREEN campaign. But forget the basic simplified concept of just not wasting paper and cutting down on gas, they have taken a different approach: Peeing in the shower! Yeah that's right in an effort to save the rainforest Brazil has launched a new ad campaign encouraging citizens to pee in the shower to save water. I guess a lot of us have been going

He is responsible for about four of the beats I used on my most recent album 'Crocodile Tears', and each week he has been picking a contest winner to feature on his page.

Eminem Soulja Boy diss?

2009-08-03T18:25:00.004-04:00

So there is a track surfacing online that is apparently Eminem dissing Soulja Boy. Now I definitely wish this was true because I can't stand what he has contributed to rap and son but I've heard news it is not him, just something someone else put together. Either way, because I can't stand Soulja Boy that much i'm going to post it anyway.Well while you're checking out that, if you have not heard

Charles Manson.... the Musician?

"He had this kind of music that nobody else was doing. I thought he really had something crazy, something great. He was like a living poet." -Neil Young on Charles Manson the musician!I found out pretty recently to my complete surprise that Charles Manson, the famous murderer whom I'm sure you've all heard of, was actually an aspiring musician before he became a very influential and powerful cult

Rock The Bells

2009-07-19T23:48:00.002-04:00

On Saturday I hit up the Boston show of Rock The Bells featuring everyone in the underground hip hop scene from M.O.P. to Eyedea to Slaughterhouse with Nas and Damian Marley headlining. It was a beautiful thing for the hip hop world to have all the true hip hop heads in one place. The one thing I noticed about this show compared to most shows I see is how much energy these dudes all had. Every

2009-07-07T16:07:00.002-04:00

I just got done watching the end of the MJ tribute and had a few things that came to mind I wanted to speak about. First off, it was crazy to actually see/hear his daughter Paris speak, seeing as his children have been completely hidden from the spotlight since birth. For those who didn't see it, she made a brief but very powerful statement about her love for her father.Another thing I noticed

RIP MichaelJackson

2009-06-25T23:26:00.002-04:00

As you all know by now, Michael Jackson passed away today of a heart attack. The sad thing is that his last few years he got so much criticism by people hating him cuz of how crazy he went. I think people forget he was arguable the best performer of all time along with the best selling of all time. No doubt in my mind he is among the top ten most famous people on the planet as well. So I don't

Lose Yourself cover by The Script

2009-06-22T18:15:00.000-04:00

What's good? Before I introduce a new blog a friend of mine recently started, I want to mention a few things about how the studio session went last night. It was the first time with a new producer so I was a little unsure who shit would go, but things worked out even better then expected. I got about 11 songs recorded which I can honestly say all came out hott. I got a bunch of footage in the

So tomorrow I'm going to be in the studio with a new producer basically all night long getting a bunch of shit done including finally redoing a few tracks from the Crocodile Tears album and finally getting that out. And due to the lengthy delays with all the BS that been going on, I'm actually about 8 tracks deep on my next album haha so I will be recording some of those as well. Just to keep you

Listen to 'Em: Todd Snider

2009-06-11T22:01:00.004-04:00

Here's some different shit. If you know me you know I live for music, and because of that I go to all depths of the Earth to find new stuff I haven't heard in order to keep up with not only finding new different stuff, but continually be influenced from all over the place, because there sure as hell ain't much in rap influencing me anymore. Anyways, I came across this guy Todd Snider when I was

For those who really hate Brett Michaels and are sick of his washed up ass, here's a funny clip of him getting layed out at the Tony Awards when the set collapsed on him. That's what he gets for being such a fag.Apparently he got pretty hurt too....oh well...

On a Boat

2009-06-07T00:00:00.003-04:00

Haha Yeah so I have not watched Saturday Night Live in a couple years now but earlier tonight I got back from the Sox game and threw it on, and Andy Samdberg, who is known for his funny music remixes, had a hilarious skit with T pain who actually didn't make fun of himself, and it's called On a Boat. It's def. worth watching...good shit.

When in Rome....

2009-06-04T15:17:00.004-04:00

Guess what Sublime fans? After a long awaited wait, the group is finally reuniting! As you may know the reason they stopped making music was due to lead singer Brads death of an overdoes right before their most successful cd was released. It was a sad situation because with their lead singer gone, Sublime was not able to cash in on their huge success on the album which included Santeria, What I

Eminem gets Ass in the face.

2009-06-01T21:27:00.002-04:00

This footage came from the MTV movie awards the other night.There is a big debate going on over the internet about whether or not Eminem was in on this prank. Sasha Cohen (Borat) dressed as his other popular character Bruno, basically landed right on Eminems face wearing a thong. Eminem immediately storms off after it happens. If you ask me, I'd say it has to be staged. The cameras were already

Pitbull Punches Guy Makin' it Rain

2009-05-29T17:56:00.003-04:00

If you guys have not heard or seen this yet, it's worth checking out. It's pretty funny. Basically the story is this guy was in the front row making it rain (for those who don't know that means throwing money around like you would do at a strip club). Pitbull apparently told him not to do that because he was bothering him. So when the guy didn't stop, Pitbull brought him on stage and let a nice

I'm happy to get back home and work as hard as I can on doing music. It's weird because New York definitely has a better music scene, but I find myself working a lot harder on music shit at home in Boston

If you have not seen or heard, everyone's favorite one hit no talent wonder has had her computer "hacked", and new pics of her topless have surfaced the net. She is know for one only hit Me & U, and now these pics.It clearly sounds like a promotions scheme to me seeing as no one has heard shit from her lately and her buzz had died out. A little desperate, but she looks good, so no complaints here

2009-05-01T10:44:00.002-04:00

With YouTube bursting onto the scene over the last several years, millions of cover songs and originals have been performed, recorded, and listened to. In this sea of craziness very few musicians find themselves floating to the top of the ladder, but today I present to you one of the few. Olivia (who is not of Thai decent) is a twenty year old singer-songwriter and actress from Los Angeles. She
