A new job on deck soon?
so it looks like I may be in line for another new job. It's an exciting experience, I'm slowly getting closer to my financial goals...emphasis on slowly. But things look good, and the company I'm in talks with is a major company that will fit right in with some of the work I've been doing over the last 3 years.
I'll release more info once things are official, but, wish me luck.

Outbreak Monkey "Collabine" Album Review
Outbreak Monkey “Collabine” (Album Review)
Independently promoted Outbreak Monkey is learning to eliminate the hiatus time so many artists take directly following the promotional stint of an album. After last years “The Residence Of Evil” extended E.P., Outbreak wasted no time in getting back into the lab and on the microphone. His latest project “Collabine” is more compilation than solo effort, but it’s arguably much more memorable, and far superior to it’s predecessor.
“Melody Abuse” is an entertaining tune with an aggressive beat and a chorus that corners the attention immediately. Saint Sinna provides quite the impression and marks one of the albums most impressive appearances. “Another Nightfall” is another diamond, a wonderfully bleak vibe screams replay. Never mind some of Outbreaks best vocal moments, and an insane chorus performed by the ridiculously underrated GrewSum.
“Paranoia” (which features Mars), “Respect 2.0” (featuring Magnetik) and “Own Worst Enemy” (a duo with Tali Demon) are all quality tracks that merit genuine attention. Outbreak Monkey’s unorthodox delivery keeps things quite interesting, and these tracks act as the best example of that unique sound executed at it‘s finest. Impressive and inspired choruses help ensure repeated visits to the ’Outbreak Monkey’ folder.
“Body Snatched” is the album’s sleeper. I’ll openly confess, this tune did nothing for me upon first listen; repetition however altered my initial perception. It’s a quality jam, with quality guest appearances from Scum and Trips. If it doesn’t snatch your attention the first time, don’t write it off, soak it up, you may find yourself humming along before you know it.
I’m not traditionally all too keen on “collaboration” albums, they tend to feel like a showcase for an artist who’s actually unfit to hold his own for the duration of an entire album. Outbreak Monkey however incorporates enough solo work to ensure listeners he’s definitely a capable emcee. If you dug “The Residence Of Evil”, don’t let all the guest appearances fool you, Outbreak is the highlighted artist on deck, and “Collabine” shows a measured level of growth for this young emcee that‘s more than respectable.

A Thank You To My Supporters
I've spent more than a year working on Cohesive alongside partners Midiflash Mix And Mastering. I think things are coming along well, but we've obviously hit a bit of a stalemate.
Initially I let it begin to drag me down, I want to get this out there too the people! my brain was screaming, but things take time, and usually, the more time dedicated to assembling an album, the better the final product will be.
But I still had that itch to get some music out there.
Three months ago I began working on a small EP, now titled "Am I Alive". If the people were going to have to wait an extended period of time before I put some new music out there, then I was going to dedicate every bit of myself to releasing some form of music, I was going to recruit quality musicians, and I was going to do things right.
So, that's exactly what I did. When not working, I worked the phones and the emails. I worked any angle available to me; the end result is an EP that's diverse despite it's limited run time, and there are true quality contributors involved in this project.
Distribution is falling right inline with a large amount of retailers lined up to stock the album. All in all, it hasn't been cheap, but it's been rewarding thus far.
The thing I find most rewarding however is the overwhelming support I've received online. For the first time I can recall I sold out my first press via pre-order before I even received the package in the mail. Given I'm printing this album in limited number press, it was quite astonishing, and truly mind blowing.
I've received plenty of support over the years, but in terms of here, in cyber space... it's just never been this amazing. I thank you all from the bottom of my alcohol infested gut. Your aupport means more to me than you can even begin to imagine.

Grindhouse Series Vol. 4 Album Review
Grindhouse Series Vol 4. Review
Grindhouse Manufacturing has returned again for the fourth installment of their free monthly compilation series. Included on board this time around are Royce Da 5’9”, Hopsin, Monsta Squad, The Jokerr, Chopp Devize, Epitaph, Dzk, Warbux and a solid handful of other impressive artists. For a fourth installment, it’s a great lineup that shows a continued growth trend.
BadMind kicks the gears with the opening “Simple Actions”, a dark, moody track that sets an appropriately dark tone. The Culprit and Justice take things to another level immediately following the jump, as “Crime Of A Rhyme” is a true album shiner that flaunts quality deliveries and impressive production. The Jokerr follows the newly beaten path with the epic “The Jokerr’s Pain”, a banger that grows like an out-of-control tumor.
Rozwell, Chopp Devize (with some help from The J.Hexx Project), DZK, Epitaph, Warbux, The Drop Squad, Royce Da 5’9”, A-Laz and Trouble all offer high quality tracks that make for the bulk of the strongest of the Grindhouse Series installment yet. Dan The Saltine shows up to shut it down in stylish fashion with the catchy tune “Everybody Knows”. The ultimate nod however must go to the Monsta Squad for bringing the strongest offering of the album “Creature Feature“.
“Creature Feature” blends a near perfect combination of sampling, deliveries, lyricism, and production. Memorable in every sense of the word, this track screams of modern appeal and nostalgia simultaneously. Fans of early horrorcore/wicked shit will likely find this jam a true gem.
Four quality collections, and a consistent growth in quality ensure the continued expansion of the Grindhouse Manufacturing moniker. I’ll be paying attention come July 1st.
Ranking: 3/4

Rampage VS Evans BREAKDOWN

Former opposing TUF coaches Rashad “Sugar” Evans (14-1-1) and Quinton “Rampage” Jackson (30-7) will finally get a chance to settle a score that’s been brewing for a year plus.

In order to hold the fans over I've assembled an EP titled "Am I Alive" which features exclusive production from some great producers including Stir Crazy.
Here's a peak at the tracklist. The disc will include one extra radio edit.
1. Girls And Their Anthems Ft. T.o.n.e-Z
2. Green Shit
3. King Of The Corey Haim Drug Ring
4. Heaven Or Hell Ft. Eklypss of Doomsday Productions
5. When You're In Love
Full graphics will be posted soon. This EP will see an extremely limited press run (500 units), but it will also be available digitally via Itunes, Napster, Rhapsody, Amazon and more.
Look for Hard copies to be available in the next 3 weeks and digitals available in the nexct 6-8 weeks.
