Brief Memo .

I'm just chillin yo, straight up vibing out and networking with folks, Just talked to big bruh DeShay and Matt (of Super 3!) and they in Atlanta, GA working on music...Helping me with some shit for "Hometown Hero", man it feels good to know you making good music and making all the right moves. Especially when you got the right people holding you up, instead of holding you down. It's crazy cause now I'll be around the way and people will come up and be like "yo, I heard your song" or "seen your Facebook freestyles, your dope" I thank all those people, I'm not on no star shit, I've been mostly hearing it from people I don't even know around my school saying it and a few times when I've just been strolling thru L.A. or Long Beach. I stay humble tho, cause I hate getting gassed up for nothing. So I thank everyone that listens to the music and appreciates the greatness (LOL.)...more good shit on the way, peace !

"Up In Beni-Han Han Eating All The Wong-Tong"


I don't know if I spelled all that right but the point is Big Sean is that nigga, one of my fav's right now...still waiting for that "U KNOW BIG SEAN" mixtape to drop tho lol...Now I really wanna be on G.O.O.D. Music lol...maybe one day, it's in God's hands.

Pac Div-Shut Up ft. The Cool Kids (Prod. Swiff D)

SIDE NOTE:

A lot of "up comers" act like asses towards fans/other artists. (Not that anyone was this way towards me), but I was listening to the past mixtapes I've downloaded in the past month, and all of em were good. For one, I study good artist (believe it or not) and take notes, from the good things they do, to the bad. It just humbles me. I don't know if this is good or not, but I'm the type of person that'll work with anyone and help anyone in need out, I love hearing new artists, cause I learn something from everyone I hear. Now I can go back to my tape and change things up and add/subtract what's needed & what's not.

Lights, Camera, Action - Outasight

B. Citee-Radio ft. Curren$y & LaVish


The homie E told me to hop on this track, so I couldn't turn it down. YES! it's a real song, with the real Curren$y from Fly Society & former Young Money Ent. member. But this off his upcoming tape "Almost Famous"...DOWNLOAD IT HERE

BONUS:LaVish-I'm Ill ft. B. Allan & Citee

Wale-Word Play ft. Currency & Tre (of UCB)


New track from Wale's upcoming mixtape "Back To The Feature" where he collaborated with 9th Wonder (dropping April 29th)...check it out


SIDE BAR:I'm glad I changed my mixtape title, cause it was originally "Back To The Future" (those that been following my career know that) but after figuring out what I wanted the tape to sound like I changed it...

Outasight-From There To Here: An Album Prequel (Mixtape)


Heard of him on the Cook Classics recent mixtape, his songs were pretty ill, had to download the tape. Nowadays I'm all about supporting new artists...DOWNLOAD IT HERE !

I Was Wondering How I Would Look As A Old Man...lol...

"Everything ain't what it seems"

Ever feel like you do so much to make everyone else happy but they won't go half way to return the favor ? Damn, I'm not even gonna put those people out there, SHE/he knows who they are. I read some shit (a blog) that made me mad. Ima just tell it like I told the homie Brandon P, its music over everything and everybody now, cause if folks not finna lookout for me ima do me, sucks when those "certain" people aren't there to "support". But you ain't gotta doe any favors, dont gotta come to the shows, download the music or gimme love. But when we make it dont look dumbfound with your lip poked out.

FUCK YOU, nite.

Parents just don't understand...

Fuck ! I'm grounded... No phone or MacBook. I'm just happy my iPod touch has wi-fi LOL. This is putting the tape recording sessions on a 2 week hold. Well I got a few more beats so I can write and go to the studio with a boatload. I haven't talked to my girl since Saturday, damn. I tried calling but her phone been off, hope she knows I love her. Teachers are bitch made, and so are parents....there's no need to argue.

(pause.)

My Saturday was a big ass up and down. Meaning good and bad. But none the less me and B. Allan rocked 2 shows, one for A & R reps for Universal Records & another at the homie's party. Everything was good...til you know what, niggas started acting like niggas lol. Fights broke out, security started fighting and shit, people were taken to the hospital and I was just like damn. But one of those hospitalized people were a friend of mine, hopefully he gets better. It was a bunch of chaos. That's why I don't go to parties, I just stick to kickbacks or whatever. But we had to make a 1am ride to Riverside, all the way from L.A. so I was thinking of how I could get better at my craft. But sometimes it's hard when those people that claim to have your back and support you, at the end don't show up to the shows or give no positive feedback to you. But they know who they are and I'll do fine without them...but love to everyone that was there and showed us love...

What Your Life Like ???

Today was straight...just chilled with the homies and what not. But uhh to keep people updated and brief life's been good, got a show Saturday night, performing at this party with B. Allan & Cold Flames. But umm been keepin' shit right in school and writing rhymes like 24/7...Also got a interview with some A & R's from Universal Records at 3:30 on Saturday, so this is gonna be a productive weekend. I'm just weeding out all the drama, cause the future's looking bright and I don't need none of that. And, also for all the "fans" and "readers" I showed a few people some snippets off the "Hometown Hero" tape, got some good responses. Yeah ! Well peace, gotta make ice cream in chemistry class tomorrow (how the fuck is that possible ??? HAND MADE ICE CREAM??? (pause)

LaVish-I'm Ill feat. B. Allan & Citee.


First song off of "Hometown Hero" (coming soon)...sent this song out yesterday and got good responses...check it out, more to come...DOWNLOAD "I'M ILL"

P.S: Shouts to DeShay for all the coaching & advice. I'm taking this tape serious. Honestly the tape could've dropped tonight if I would've kept the original track list, but I watched a lot of my peers and listened to the songs that released this past month and started over and rewrote everything. So just look forward to a growth in music and sound in the upcoming weeks...

Mike Posner is dope...I heard him on Big Sean's "Finally Famous Vol. 1" mixtape...his beats and concepts are ill...I need to meet more people like this lol. I give it "2 snaps"...another dope tape in '09...Download It Here

72 Hrs.

Been at the studio since Friday, it's Sunday afternoon and I'm tired. Haven't really slept...been doing verses for other people and doing songs for "Hometown Hero". I'm taking a different approach with this tape, for the better. I feel like this tape compared to my last one or previous songs is showing a lot of growth. I'm happy with the music that's being made and the people I'm meeting/working with...it's all uphill from here...

Here's a video of us finishing up "I'm Ill ft. B. Allan & Citee" (this will probably be up tomorrow)...Also last night we kinda took a break and went to this kickback out in Long Beach. Some of Frankie Owns' peeps...we was wildin...and got called out to spit a cipher in the middle of the party, it was a good enviornment and good party. Then went back to the studio for the rest of the night at like 2am...I'm still at the studio btw lol...just chillin tho.
