Gilbere Forte’ feat. Big K.R.I.T. – Black Soul
Thursday, September 29th, 2011Great news and not-so-bad news.
Tuesday, September 27th, 2011NOT-SO-BAD News: One thing I’ve learned in this game, in this life…is you (meaning “I”) have to have patience. That shit is just as much a talent as anything else God given. But you have to work on it. Nobody likes to wait…for anything. Which I get, but once the wait is over you realize the timing couldn’t have been better. This will be worth the wait.
GREAT News:Some Dreams Never Sleep EP will be released Tuesday, October 4th at 10am EST, with an exclusive premiere on The Hundreds the day before. The good folks at TH are presenting this project. (I am flexing the Kool-Aid smile as I type this, because there’s more I just can’t say right now.)
The EP artwork is currently under the knife, but here’s the tracklist:
BLACK SOUL feat. Big K.R.I.T.
MOST HIGH feat. Droop-E + Casey Veggies
BURN ME DOWN feat. Tyga

Gilbere Forte’ feat. Asher Roth & Bun B – Black Chukkas (Remix)
Wednesday, September 21st, 2011
This the record that kicked it all for me, my first music video (see below), my first buzz record, and still one of my favorite records to perform. With this EP and things coming full circle, I reached to the homey Ash and OG Bun.
And Raak flipped the beat something disgusting.
Some Dreams Never Sleep EP drops next Tuesday. Let’s go!

Some Dreams Never Sleep EP (Trailer)
Tuesday, September 13th, 2011
It’s funny how things work out.
Around this time last year, I was just coming off the release off my debut 87 Dreams and entering a whole new chapter of my life. This music has put me in the presence of great company, people I’ve dreamed of working with. Finding out they are fans of my shit too is even iller.
This year is no different, but the music is. The 87 Dreams 2 Reality project that I’ve been tweeting about the last couple months has taken on a new form. And via God’s grace, I’ve recently met and talked to some very important people that think it deserves a bigger platform. With that said, I’ve gotta push that release back for now.
I’m not gone leave yall hangin though. I’m releasing Some Dreams Never Sleep on September 27th.
It’s an 8-song EP featuring some of the faces you’re gonna see in the trailer below.
I can’t wait for yall to hear this shit.
Dreams do come true.
*BONUS*
Here’s the song featured in the trailer. “Hello” featuring The Kickdrums

2011 BET Hip-Hop Awards Cypher List
Tuesday, September 6th, 2011
I guess if you’ve been reading you know that I got picked for the 2011 BET Hip-Hop Awards cypher. To say that I’m honored is an understatement. Especially considering I was on set (as a sub) incase someone didn’t show last year. The whole day was crazy. Everybody on set was chill, no egos, no heavy security, just everybody excited to see and meet each other. It was dope.
Here’s the list below (via DJ Premier’s blog).
