Conscious Conversations: Ciph Diggy [Explicit Content]

What happens when one half of the duo Sleepwalkas drops a solo album? Well an 'Untitled Wave' happens. Ciph Diggy is my interviewee for this latest installment of Conscious Conversations. Working with what I've got right now I shot the interview with an old Flip and edited it in' Windows Movie Maker' ... Urgh! You know what, I got it done. Soon I shall invest in a new comp that's capable of handling my usual means to edit. Sony Vegas.

Untitled Wave will be available March 30th. We celebrate the release at A Monthly Bondfire next Tuesday night. Shout out to Mister Beatz who is also releasing his album, 'Spit Therapy' on the same day. I promise I shall have an album for you all soon too. #StayTuned4DaTrap

7 tips/ideas/questions for artist development/refinement...

Even though I've had a real website up for some time now, I decided to post something here on this blog because it still gets a fair amount of traffic. Hey, the more links that are pointing to me online, the better I look to Google.

What started off as random rants on Twitter about artists and what they're not doing right, has turned into a regular thing I do, devoted to listing helpful tips to help artists refine what they're doing. People have been taking notice. This man who co-signs not often, is now being co-signed majorly.

I want to reach as many people as I can with info that's beneficial to them life and career wise. Hopefully these tips that started off as wee hour shouts of frustration and aggravation will reach those who need them most...

1. #Artists What's on your website? How often do you update it? Do you think it is important to have a website, or does that matter to you at all?
2. #Artists Web domains & hosting plans are inexpensive these days. Invest in your career. Free services with ads & banners reek. Unprofessional.
3. #Artists Do not email mp3 attachments to press agencies or online promo services unless asked. Attachments will be deleted. Send links.
4. #Artists Get a general rundown of venue specs before you ok a gig. Sound. Location in relation to transportation. How will show be promoted?
5. #Artists If you want people to care about what you to have offer presentation is key. There's no excuse for hard to navigate, sites, blogs or Myspace pages.
6. #Artists Get organized. Use Reverbnation to handle your mailing lists and distribute your music files so u can track your stats. http://ow.ly/HL0l
7. #Artists Until you're in a position to not have to promote your show. Promote your show, if you really care about what you do. No excuses...

BiN Green

With all the talk about being 'green' I realize how inherently green we already are. Fact is, I've been turning lights off and conserving water all of my life. Ha ha ha. Bin Green! Mind you it's all about self preservation by taking care of the planet that gives you life. Something that should already be second nature. Why is this a new concept.Well because it's not. Amazing how we can be sold something we already own.

I'm going to see 'Johnny Voltik And the Technicoloreds' hosted by Tasty Keish

Man I've been to Public Assembly a whole lot this year. If it wasn't for some BRM Magazine party it was to see my homegirl TastyKeish host something. I rocked with ADM. I hosted an awesome show with The Dugout performing a group reunion school is over celebration and witness the beautiful Queen GodIs rock out like no other female performer I know can. Now i'm going out to have a great time as Johnny Voltik celebrates a new album on the way. The Lifted Crew is rock earlier in the evening which is very cool. I've rocked with them at Kenny's Castways a number of times. They're solid.

If you're around tomorrow night at 9pm. You really need to come check out the show. And come hang out with me....! Hang out! WITH ME!

I Are Conscious PSA - No Clipping

Public transportation is not the place for personal grooming. By personal grooming I mean, clipping your fingernails.
