So we've been stuck in self quarantine (us responsible people anyway) trying not to get sick. For the past month I've been going live almost daily on my Instagram, Twitter, Facebook and Twitch with DJ sets to help us all out. DJing is therapy to me and I miss going out, hopping on that stage or into the DJ booth and rocking out for everyone. So that's I've been going live from my studio which I called Latte Larry's (Curb Your Enthusiasm is one of my all time favorite TV shows and I don't watch much TV). So that brings me to the embed below. I started a Twitch channel because of all of the platforms they have live streaming on lock. I encourage you guys to get an account and hop in the chatroom. Any way that you stream me going live, you should also know I strive for the best sound quality possible. I do not broadcast through the mic on my iPhone on Instagram or anywhere. The quality you're getting from me you can plug me into your aux or connect it to a bluetooth and rock out. I have some special streaming events in the works that won't be on any of these mentioned platforms. Stay tuned to my social media accounts for those. Stay home, don't go out for anything unless necessary but most of all, stay safe.

Good day, true believers. My album "Terra Incognita" is available for pre-order in my store and on whatever digital service you purchase music on.

It's been almost a year since I've released music. In my days that wasn't a bad thing, but the way things are these days, you might as well have not released anything in a few years. I'm currently in the mastering process of "Terra Incognita" (finally, right?), but while going through my hard drive I found a bunch of MF DOOM acapellas. I got the idea to sort of pull a DOOM on DOOM. In the vein of his "Special Herbs and Spices" series, I took his acapellas and put them over some of the beats from my "Beats You to Death, Volume 1" beat tape and put it up for download RIGHT HERE on this site and at a few places (until it potentially gets taken down). Everything is below and I hope you guys enjoy it because I had a lot of fun putting it together.

I'm currently in the midst of completing an new album called "Terra Incognita". It's a production compilation featuring a lot of rappers. I'll be rolling out more information on that as it is completed, but I have posted snippets here and there on my Instagram. In the meantime, I'm releasing an EP in a few weeks called "Take Your Time". It's mostly instrumental songs and features Murf of Clasick and Tamar Green each on solo songs. The production is more on the laid back vibe as apposed to what I'm usually known for. You can preview the song "Shooting For Her Heart (KMS)" now and get it as an immediate download when you pre-order. "Take Your Time" will be released on all digital formats on October 5th and all the pre-order info you need is below.

So after a little debate of doing it or not, I decided to put "Beats You to Death, Vol. 1" up for pre-order with two tracks as an immediate download and streaming to give you guys a preview of it. It drops proper on March 16th on all digital outlets, and I'm pretty pumped to share it with everyone.

As announced a million years ago I was working on a production album called "Beats You to Death" which was to feature a who's who of all of the rappers I'm friends with over my production. For one reason or another though the project never got off the ground. I made a ton of beats for this project though. Some ended up on other projects while some just sat all by themselves all lonely on my hard drive collecting dust. With that said, I'm jumping into the beat tape scene with those beats under that title. "Beats You to Death" will be released on March 16th via Raw Bar Records on all digital outlets. The majority of the beats were intended for the original version of "Beats You to Death", but I've decided it will be the first in an ongoing series of beat tapes under that title. So, if you like just listening to instrumentals or you want to rap on some of my shit on the super cheap, this is it (I have beats available for purchase HERE though). However, for the rapping part, don't let me catch you trying to officially release what you did as songs, I will shut that shit down. A free download on your Soundcloud is perfectly fine though.

Now speaking of my production and my label, we just released a collection of older material from my good friend John Ryder called "The Archives, Vol. 1". It's on all streaming formats and as a free download posted below. If you enjoy the older stuff we've had in the vaults all this time, we're sure you'll like the new stuff John and myself have coming later this year.

Hey, so if you're familiar with my first album "The Earth Man's Curse", you've heard the song "In the End..." featuring John Ryder that closes out the album. John was one of my earliest collaborators when I started to take producing seriously, so it was important and an honor to have him on my album. After recording that song with him, we started working on new material which is being released later this year as "Johnny" on Raw Bar Records. We have a long history together making music, but unfortunately basically none of it got to see the light of day. At least not in the capacity we wanted it to. We recorded a lot of material together in the early to mid 2000's when he was going by the name S.O.T. (Son of Thunder). John was also working with another producer based here in South Eastern Connecticut called Doc Ether, which they recorded a good amount of material as well.

So here's what I'm getting at: to work as reintroduction of sorts and to prepare everyone for our upcoming release, John and I decided to start collecting our old material, make it available on all of your favorite streaming services (Spotify, Apple Music, Pandora, etc.) and as a free download on the Raw Bar Records site. "The Archives, Vol. 1" features John Ryder over production by himself, Doc Ether and myself. It also features one song with one of the first rappers I ever worked with, Skittles, now known as Product of Nature. Below is a snippet of the song "Seein' Blind" produced by me. "The Archives, Vol. 1" releases on Friday, February 23.
