I MEAN I'VE WORKED WITH THE INDUSTRY'S BEST, AND I DO MEAN BEST!!! AND STILL I COULD HEAR MAD POTENTIAL IN DUDES BEATS!!! AND COMING FROM A BACKGROUND OF SO CALLED "BACKPACKER" HIP HOP,WHATEVER THE FUCK THAT MEANS...I'M A JAZZY BEAT NIGGA AND THATS WORD!!! THE TRACKS WERE A PERFECT FIT FOR WHAT WE WERE TRYING TO DO...FAST FORWARD...AFTER PRODUCING THE BULK OF OUR ALBUM "THE UPSTARTS THE KNOW HOW" (WHICH I WILL GET INTO ON A LATER NOTE...) FREDDIE WAS ALREADY WORKING ON HIS ALBUM "IN WITH TIME" WHICH FEATURES SOME OF TODAYS BEST UP AND COMING EMCEES LIKE MY MANS BLU,SURREAL,AND MY OLD ASS!!!,ALOE BLACC AND MANY OTHERS,AND LET ME SAY THIS...BRAVO...WELL CRAFTED TO SAY THE LEAST...THATS WHY WE GOT THIS DUDE HANDLING THE BULK ON OUR SOPHMORE EFFORT (BEFORE HE STARTS UPPING HIS PRICE ON A NIGGA!!!!)SO I COULD GO ON FOR A MINUTE ABOUT THIS DUDE,BUT I'LL LET HIS MUSIC SPEAK FOR ITS SELF...SO HIT MY MAN UP,HE'LL MAKE YOU SOUND BETTER FOR REAL...OR CHECK HIS BLOG OUT AT FREDDIEJOACHIM.COM

DONT SLEEP'S THROWBACK FEMME OF THE DAY

CHRISTY TURLINGTON...I ALWAYS NEW I HAD AN EYE FOR BEAUTIFUL THINGS, AND AS A TEEN MOST CATS WERE NOT UP ON WHAT I DESCRIBE AS CLASSIC BEAUTY,WHILE MOST OF THE WORLD WAS GASSED ON A CERTAIN MODEL WITH A MOLE I HAD MY EYES ON A MUCH MORE UNDERSTATED BEAUTY...AND AS YOU GUESSED IT WAS THIS SUPERNOVA!!! THE HALF SALVADORAN (YES SHE IS OF LATIN DESCENT) KILLED IT DURING THE "SUPERMODEL" 90'S AND THE PHRASE "SO FRESH AND SO CLEAN" WAS CLEARLY MEANT TO DESCRIBE THE FLAWLESSNESS OF THIS WOMAN...SO WITHOUT FURTHER ADEU I PRESENT TO YOU THE FIRST THROWBACK FEMME, THE FIRST IN A LONG LINE OF CLASSICS TO COME...OH AND SHE LOOKS JUST AS GOOD NOW AS SHE DID 20 YEARS AGO....

THE DIRTY SOUTH...REAL DIRTY....

PLEASE VOTE...DONT LET YOUR CHILDREN GROW UP TO BE THIS IGNORANT...

SD TO MT.V

GROWING UP AS A KID HERE IN SD,THERE WEREN'T A LOT OF OPTIONS AS FAR AS MAKING MUSIC OR EVEN HEARING A LOT OF NEW STUFF THAT WAS COMING OUT AT THE TIME.( BIG UP DONDI BELL!!! FOR PUTTING ME UP ON PRETTY MUCH EVERYTHING!!!) LIKE I WAS SAYING, BEING ORIGINALLY FROM THE EAST COAST( BALTIMORE STAND UP!!! ) BUT SPENDING MOST OF MY LIFE ON THE WEST, IT WOULD HAVE BEEN EASIER FOR ME TO GO THE HOOD ROUTE BUT...I CHOSE SKATEBOARDING AND HIP HOP.EVEN THOUGH AT THE TIME THERE WAS NO EAST COAST/ WEST COAST, THE CATS IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD WERE LISTENING TO N.W.A & ERIC B & RAKIM... BUT LETS FAST FORWARD A BIT...I WAS NATURALLY DRAWN TO EAST COAST HIP HOP,BECAUSE THEY WERE SAMPLING THE STUFF MY MOM USED TO PLAY IN THE HOUSE AS KID AND IT JUST SOUNDED RIGHT TO ME( DONT GET IT FUCKED UP THOUGH,LOW PROFILE & KING TEE STILL GET MUCH RUN ON MY PLAYLIST!!! )BUT ANYWAY MY POINT IS, THERE HAS ONLY BEEN A FEW CATS IN HIP HOP THAT HAVE HAD A INTEGRAL IMPACT ON MY LIFE,AND ONE OF THEM WAS PETE ROCK & INI.I CAN TELL YOU EXACTLY WERE I WAS WHEN I HEARD MECCA AND THE SOUL BROTHER FOR THE FIRST TIME ( AND YES I KNOW THERE WAS THE SOULED OUT EP BEFORE THAT...COME ON MAN...) ANYWAY THAT ALBUM AND MY BOY GOT THIS BUM ASS COPY OF A STRETCH & BOBBITO SHOW MIXTAPE THAT HAD THIS JOINT ON THERE ,AND THAT PARTICULAR SONG WAS GROWN MAN SPORT FROM INI, NOW THE RECORDING ON THIS TAPE WAS HORRENDOUS!!!! BUT AT THE TIME I MUST HAVE LISTENED TO THAT SONG ABOUT A 1000 TIMES...NO JOKE!!! NOW LETS FAST FORWARD EVEN FURTHER...NEVER WOULD I HAVE THOUGHT ABOUT HANGING WITH THOSE DUDES, LET ALONE BEING ABLE TO CALL THEM MY FRIENDS BUT I CAN SAFELY SAY TAT HONOR WAS BESTOWED UPON ME...NOW IV'E MADE A FEW RECORDS, BUT BEING ABLE TO DO A SONG WITH GRAP AND HIS BROTHER PETE ROCK WELL...BEING A LITTLE FILIPINO DUDE FROM PARADISE HILLS SD AND GROWING UP IN THE ENVIROMENT THAT I DID, AND GETTING THE CHANCE TO MAKE RECORDS WITH THE LIKES OF THOSE DUDES ( AND TRUST ME I DIDN'T HAVE NO TYPE OF BUDGET SO IT WAS DEFINITELY ON THE STRENGHT!!! ) AND HAVING THEY'RE RESPECT MUSICALLY WELL...IT SAYS ALOT ABOUT LIFE & HOW THINGS WORK OUT....I POSTED A COUPLE OF RANDOM FLICS FROM MY SESSIONS WITH THOSE DUDES...WITH MORE TO COME...P
