Wasn't aware that we were getting so many views a day here, I'll be sure to start putting up more tracks in the future, have quite a few in the mpc2500 and protools that I just haven't gotten around to publishing quite yet.. Cant wait until this election is over, be sure and vote Obama or I will sneer at you every time I look at you ..
Either we are going to be changing over to a do it myself website or I'm gonna kick out some cash for Fade to upgrade this one so we can add things like pics and video and more interactive things..
A store would be nice to I think..
What do you think, leave us a note in the guestbook and thanks for stopping by!

Sorry its been so long since we updated anything here, been busy being a parent.. lol
My boy Ominous posted this on Illmuzik.com and I thought it was so good that I would repost it here.
Get out and vote, and Vote For Obama!
==============================
Basically we are in a big mess because of rich (greedy) people. Both Dem and Republicans. American’s don’t have money because they have been laid off, denied a raise or outsourced, they cannot pay the bad mortgage deals they have signed up for.
You notice who gets nasty? It’s always Republicans. You know why? Because Republicans are the PIRATES.
I’m not trolling.
Let me explain. There is another post on this site about the financial crisis. Says this melt down was caused by pirates. But it doesn’t say who the pirates are. Look at Conservative Beliefs outside of Religion. They always say, pick yourself up by your own boot straps. Have self accountability and work hard and earn your keep. It is not my job to take care of you. So they do not like the idea of welfare. They do not like Affirmative action. And I agree with that. They do not want big government coming in and telling you what to do with your money. And I agree with that. Put a salary cap on a CEO, that’s crazy. If I am ever a CEO, I don’t want the government putting a cap on my salary.
But....... if I get a portion of my salary from stock options. And I lay off 25% of the working American Staff to help my overhead cost look good to improve stock prices. Then sell all my stock and watch the company tank because I laid everyone off while I count my 200 million I just made by laying off Americans. Guess what? I am a Republican Pirate.
This is why I understand the idea of SPREADING WEALTH.
If I sell hot dogs and I make a million a year. Fair exchange. I buy my buns from an American baker. I buy my hot dogs from an American butcher. I make American money and I pump it back into the economy by buying other American products and paying my taxes for the right to make a million dollars on American soil. But if I abused Americans to make my money... I think I owe America. I think I need to pay a higher tax. The wealth needs to be spread.
Do any of you RIGHT WINGED Republicans understand that companies get tax cuts for outsourcing American jobs? This is abuse in its worst form. This is the kind of stuff Bush and McCain have been growing in our government for years. What the hell do you think the words "Deregulate" mean? It means I don’t want big government stepping in and policing this abuse.
Republicans have been abusing America for years now. Who do you think has been getting out of hand for the last 8 years? I mean, even Glenn Beck and Bill O. are talking about how bad Republicans have been. Glenn Beck has been talking about how Obama is gonna make this a Socialist country and look at what is happening before Obama has even had any kind of political power outside of voting. Government is having to step in because of greed and abuse of power.
McCain is a good leader, but you know why his chances are shot? Because Republicans are tired of Republicans. Who do you think is in bed with these corporations and these oil companies... literally. When the corruption witch hunt starts going into full gear, you will see a bunch of Republicans pop up.
But wait....
Don’t think I don’t see a bunch of dirty Democrats. You see... here is why republicans really hate Democrats now. Dems blew it for everybody by basically doing the same thing Republicans have been doing in the private sector. But the Dems messed up because they did it in the residential sector. Abusing Americans through mortgages. See, you can lay off Americans and people wont really notice it. Your company can have record profits and you don’t give out raises or Christmas bonuses and no one notices. You can cook the books and sell all your stock and sink the company, and no one notices. But as soon as you sign people up on a bunch of adjustable rate loans and try to completely rape people with bad mortgage deals, EVERYBODY notices it. You know why? Because everyone is starting to understand what is happening to us. Like John McCain says.... people are mad. People are mad because Republicans have deregulated the private sector allowing businesses to abuse Americans. And since American’s don’t have money because they have been laid off, denied a raise or outsourced, they cannot pay the bad mortgage deals they have signed up for. This is effecting everyone’s pocketbook directly and indirectly.
Your neighbor loses his job. You don’t care. But then, his house forecloses. Now you care. Because the value of your house just dropped and you lost money in the form of equity. This is happening on an unprecedented scale. Everyone is being effected. All of us on this comment thread is getting effected by this.
And people show how ignorant to the bigger picture they are when they hang on to things like ACORN and the Abortion issue. And I don’t mean ignorant in an insulting way. I mean in in the sense that you just don’t see the whole thing.
Look, Voter Fraud is a big deal. And so is Abortion. So it is very fair to bring them up. But be sensible about it. If you are willing to tear into Obama for his past and his associations, you need to do the same thing for McCain, Palin and everyone else. I mean... some people get so mad about this Ayers association but the same people will not say anything about Palin’s association to a group that hates America. Really? Man.... how ignorant can people get?
And this voter fraud? Listen to yourself and look at your own postings. Do you seriously think someone writes Mickey Mouse on a voter form and really thinks it is going to count for a vote? You are so ignorant, that all you see is ACORN, but you don’t hear about the people who get turned away for being Black. Nooooo.... you don’t want to talk about that. You want to talk about Obama rigging elections with voter registrations under names like Dallas Cowboys. Really? You just watch Fox News and then run a mile with it. And you think Obama is the leader of ACORN like McCain doesn’t have anything to do with them? Do you know how many people are linked to ACORN outside of Obama?
I just hope people can put in some effort and learn what is really happening in America instead of just copying crap they got off the internet and pasting it in comment sections.
So vote for McCain and keep Obama out of office. You will save a bunch of babies’ lives by banning abortion and taking away Women’s rights. In the mean time, corrupt politicians wage wars we cannot afford and allow these oil companies and other private sector businesses continue to abuse Americans.
This is not about Dems VS Republicans.
This is Rich VS Poor.

So summer is in full swing and we havent any shows to speak of, for now the illmuzik/stepchild lp is on hold..
Havent been able to coordinate a solid recording schedule with him for some months now..
Thats the way it is in this biz though, sometimes everything is tight and on point, then all the wheels fall off...
Still missin Marlon , it was in these quieter times I could always call him and get inspired..
BTW if your in the SouthEast and you run into a guy named John Alexander who may proclaim to be ANYTHING ni the music business, do yourself a favour and avoid this guy, hes a snake.
We got burned by him a couple of years back and I just wanna put out a public service announcement concerning this dude. His company at the time was Alexander III Ent. or some crap.
So vote Obama and I will be uploading some new songs here soon.

We had media mogul Shadeed slide through the studio during the hoodhard conference where he was speaking.Shadeed was kind enough to do an interview with Relic for Illmuzikradio at illmuzik.com, we may put this up on this site if it will fit.
RIP has been bz creating tracks in the studio, additionally we have Javon Washington now adding gtr to our sound and we are doing projects with him. We should have some songs from that up soon.

Good for you America!
Barak is now the Nominie, lets put him in the White House!
Musically...Relic got a crap load of Beats now. Shout out to L.A.S.E. for purchasing their company anthem from us! We were supposed to do a show in Kinston NC and open up for Chubb Rock , but at the last minute StepChild couldnt get away from work so we didnt get to go.
So its work, work, work, until further notice.
Agony came by last night and Relic and he had a good time lacing a beat with a hook,..its fire.
Javon Washington looks like he ay be our new gtr player. The man is nice!
My man Shadeed one of the creators of theindieplanet.com came through and we did an interview with him for illmuzik radio last saturday, Shadeed was down here from B-More to speak at Hood Hard Day here in Charlotte NC. We had a good time and Relic did the interview and it was a good learning experience!

Do not be dumb and vote for Hillary, its a vote for another term of an ex-pres...
If you or your boo were president, then the other one could be president don't you think you would go for it too?
Its ileagal to have a president for more than 8 years.
There have been 2 presidents prior
that people wanted to be either King or 16 years.Washington and Trueman.Real Talk .
Why is the media Sooo Anti-Barak?
They seem to be backing Hillary really hard when everyone I know is backing Barak, including Hillary supporters..
ABC is a good example of this.
Guess it helps when George Snuffaluffgus was once your Press Secretary.
They are smart tho , George has been planted in the Press for like a decade now.
People trust him now when guy is one of the moderators in a presidential debate..
Thats what you call a plant.
Good job America so far, dont be fooled, we CAN change it, Lord knows "They" did.
Well that was my rant.. lol

I got terrible terrible news this weekend, one of my best friends Marlon Tate passed away Sat 2-16-08 at 2am.
I have known Marlon for over 20 years , prolly since '86.
Marlon was a talented DJ/Rapper/Producer/Comedian/Preacher/Dancer.
I had the honor of ghost writing his first rap ever.
In 1989 he was the first one of us to sign with an independent label, unfortunately management from that label kept Marlon away from many of his friends and music companions shortly afterwards.
Marlon became sick some years back and was wheelchair bound,but this didn't deter him from doing the music he loved or church which he also loved.
I got back up with him a while back, some years now, and swore to him we wouldn't lose touch again. I have called my man LOTS since then, many times on my way to work , many times from work,many times at all times. One of the hardest things for me at this point is not being able to call him to discuss what I'm going through with his loss, and making a track doesn't quite feel the same if I cant run it past him.
We didn't always see eye to eye on everything, and we would jibe each other occasionally like brothers do but always the love was there.I use to tease him about he bought one piece of equipment in high school and had traded up gear ever since, because he was in a constant state of flux when it came to gear, yet he was always kickin ass on whatever he had at the time. I wish I had more music to share of his, but I don't. The only stuff he let me put online can be found at http://www.soundclick.com/marlonlamont
He meant a lot of things to a lot of people but he meant the world to me.
Right now, right here, is a good example of what RIP stands for.People in our world that gave something and had more to give but are taken from us, either wrongfully by murder,suicide,sickness or imprisonment ..THIS crew represents for those who should be, but are, no longer here in flesh, but still in spirit.
So Marlon, Brother..I love you man , you will be missed like few others..
I miss you, but for as long as I am alive we stand for you..Thank you for being in this world and spreading YOU.
I feel like a huge part of life and light has been sucked from this world, but we shall overcome.
Watch what we do next..
One Love. RIP Marlon Tate.
