All about Hip-Hop and R&B
A fun lil Audiovisual Presentation Konee Rok and I drummed up. The concept is “Prisoner of a Still Picture” Dunson and I are stuck in the iconic photography of Audrey and the great Sir Davis. We pose in these lyrics, the question, “Can The Cool Be Loved?” From our Art to Yours… Enjoy. Previously: Chrisette Michele – Your Fair Lady [Video]

Read more“Weapon” is based on a popular Deadmau5 sample which is flipped and filtered through production from both Dunson and Grammy-nominated trio, Phatboiz. Lyrically, Dunson delivers an unapologetic tirade regarding his metaphorical weapon, which happens to be music. The track is an electro-laden journey of tension and release that closes with a distorted vocal performance by Dunson. This track was recently featured exclusively on the Toyota x VIBE Summer Madness mixtape presented by GoodMusicAllDay.com and serves as the 3rd single from The Investment which releases free on July 31st.

Read moreGrab the MP3 here. I chopped this sample up a couple months back right before the Gotye/Kimbra song started to emerge on US radio. Then I started throwing 808s, hi-hats and some wild claps behind it in attempt to create an obnoxiously thumping heartbreak track. The feel and a couple glasses of Bourbon inspired me to let loose verbally on an old girlfriend! After my 2 16s were done, I reached out to a couple emcees to finish out the track with a third verse. But I ended up in the studio with Lazee while he was in the states a couple weeks ago and he jumped right on it with no hesitation! And now here we are with the 2nd single from my upcoming mixtape, The Investment which releases July 31st!

Read more“Count on It” represents the unapologetic confidence you have when you have put your work in. I love how it incorporates a childhood sample that so many of us are familiar with. That helped me keep it ambitious but not overly aggressive! The underground success of Creative Destruction 2 opened up some opportunities for me. One of those opportunities was to work with Grammy-Nominated production crew, Phatboiz. After a few sessions together, they saw my passion and started to hear my increased lyrical development. That led them to cook up this track for me. I heard it and came up with the concept and verses immediately! We laid it down one night in NYC and the energy and vibe was incredible so we knew this would be the first to release off the upcoming project entitled The Investment.
