Song: Bandoleros
Original by Don Omar and Tego Calderon
Requested by Selem (Sancha) Consolo. This was the first request where i tried rhyming in Spanish, and while only a small part was a little hard to do because my Spanish is horrible. Forgive me if it sounds a little off i did try my best haha. I also had the idea to go back and fourth as if im having an argument with someone trying to talk down what i do. It might not happen as often as you think but it happens. Enjoy

Song: Hard
Original by Rihanna
Requested by Matt (Slug) Brown. Rhianna has always been a favorite of mine and the production on her music is always spot on. The beat here was pretty nice so i decided to write a 2nd verse to it the same way i did with a Jay-Z remix i did a while back. Emulated the delivery of the original and then kicked my own style on it through the 2nd verse. Enjoy

Song: Hip Hop Saved My Life
Original by Lupe Fiasco
Requested by Kevin Peoples. While brief this verse explains my beginnings in writing music. I’m taking it back to high school with this one. Started my writing in 02, my first record, my fathers reaction and how it became apparent to me that my life was incomplete without music. This one is pretty sincere.

Requested by Sayiu. I’ll be honest I’m a pop whore. I enjoy the hell out of Ke$ha’s music because its so ignorantly happy. Why the fuck do i want to know about reality and struggles and things that may impact my life when i can just be stupid happy all day? I’m being a smart ass here but really it is fun music and this song was too easy to write to. A little vulgar and perverted but sex sells right?

Artist I Want To Work With : Tech N9ne
I was put on to Tech’s music when my friend Angel showed it to me while driving me home a few years back. While i thought it sounded dope I didn’t actually really get into his music a few years later. The cool thing about him is that the man knows how to write a song and his delivery is always ridiculous. I’m a little behind on some of his newer releases so i’ll be looking into those soon. But you gotta give props to the guy. No actual major label signing and he’s still an insanely successful artist. This is a hardcore Emcee if i’ve ever heard on. It would amazing to do a song with this guy one day.
