What I'm Watching ... 14KT "The Inside featuring Tiffany Paige"

I caught this in the email. Check it out.

Happy Golden October ya'll! First of all, I appreciate everyone who has been supporting the artists of A-Side Worldwide and myself since day one! With October being my birthday month/anniversary month of my debut album, I wanted to give ya'll a gift!

I want to share with you my first ever video of "The Inside" off the album, "The Golden Hour."
I wanted to do a video for "The Inside," because everyone I speak to, that's like their favorite song off the project and to me it’s like the summary song of the whole album. The video is simple, displaying me kind of becoming the instruments/vocals that you hear in the song and giving ya'll a look of how I actually look when I'm in a room by myself creating music. If you thought patting your belly and rubbing your head at the same time was hard, try this video. Haha! Enjoy ya'll!

Download ... Rufio "The Edgewater"

I caught this in an early morning email from the homie Haz Solo. Pretty damn fresh project from Sacramento producer Rufio. Created in just a week, it's pretty damn impressive. Mostly beats with a few features. Check it out and enjoy.

Rufio, a well known producer from Sacramento, CA, produced The Edgewater in a weeks time. Not only that, he managed to snatch a handful of emcees from SAC as well as myself to feature.

He was in my neck of the woods (Madison, WI) last week and I challenged him to make a beat tape during his stay and entitle it the name of the Hotel he was staying in. We shot a promo video and I whipped up the artwork.

Here is the end result.

On behalf of Rufio and the rest of the contributors, Thank you and Enjoy

Peace,
Haz Solo

Whose Poem Is It? - The Re-Birth of Spoken Word

`

We all know that spoken word is the root of hip-hop music. I think a lot of that aspect has been lost in hip-hop music nowadays. The literary aspect needs to be revisited and the art of spoken word, free-verse and freestyle given the shine it deserves. The of first of many "Whose Poem Is It?" Freestyle Spoken Word events is on deck for Friday November 5th from 6-7:30 P.M. The New York Public Library is the place to be to help launch this free event which will help re-position spoken word into our culture.

There will be 3 poet participants who will be required to deliver free-style poems on the spot, all delivered in poetic verse. This first event will host Jonathan "The Baptizer" Harris, Jamal "Skillz" Hinnant, and Taheem "Great Grand Daddy" Ransom. Topics will be chosen either from audience participation or panel selection. Now this is true Freestyle. We need to get some of our rappers up there to demonstrate their "skill". A winner will be chosen and afterwards, an Open-Mic segment for others to showcase their talents.

The producer is none other than Max Rodriguez, founder of the Harlem Book Fair and Publisher of QBR Publishing. Mr. Rodriguez is a published author, QBR Editor, an Inductee of the Writer’s Hall of Fame at Chicago State University and he has also served on the Board of Directors of Poets & Writers magazine. The Host, Bob McNeil, has served as poetry editor of BLACFAX, authored two publications, Secular Sacraments, The Nubian Gallery: A Poetry Anthology, and a spoken word CD, Rapping You with the Facts.

These gentlemen know their stuff!!

Aside from the above, Spoken Word performer J.Sharelle will be performing and yours truly, tha Lady Blogga will be on hand alongside host Bob McNeil.

Now you know where tha Lady will be. Hope to see you there!
