Masumi Lee's Vespertine Flower (Dialated Dreams)

This piece really touched me, It was written by a very good friend of mine. And it's about me!
And i think that he did a very good job at it! Check it Out!

I'm so occupied during the day
Yes the adults love to come out and play, work that is
Attending buildings to cure daily insanity
Don't want to buy into this life
Here I am just to bloom
And that's when I'm blaming my trilogy
This isn't what I chose to be, I won't be
I live for the moon
Did I ink my owl too soon
These nights of no sign of growth
Thirsty enough to choke
The crystal of my eye is not as pretty as it used to be
My jewels pierced in me are getting so lonely
What attention do I really need
Does anyone really see my beauty
Unique I am and no one can perfect it better than me
Watch me glow and calm your palm
Hold me as I hold your inverted attention
Something you've never knew existed
Riding out in light as if it were its life
In all of the unfinished business
My poems are like stars a-lined
No individuality enough to shine
This is maybe just a rest point
But I still stick out unlike the rest
See what is around me
My love is for you to confess
Why don't you just look at me
I've become too sensitive to speak

The Way I See It (inspired by Georgia Anne Muldrow)

The way I see things!
The way I see the world is so fucked up
To where my politicted views are so fed up
You will not see the american in me
because america is one thing that i'm not proud of

My children
abandon in the streets
left to weep
though their feelings is steeped
to the level of no walking happiness

The thought of the feeling i can't get past this
my artistics expressions is being put in a box
by the fucked up ways of the government
the way i see it
it's been permnament
and the people don't concern it

but i can't let it get me down
my mind & body is too strong
and my feet stays firmly in the ground
and my spirit is a humble word without a sound

let my people be heard
let my people get served
because the way i see things in my society
are full of selfishness and greed
I creed into the thoughts of distroying flees

but i'm not going get discourage
cause this world is getting old
and the truth is not being told
because the way i see it
i can behold
and i'll be fine
cause i know that i got soul

to be continued......

Listen to the song that inspired this piece..."Generation/You Got It" :-)

Suzi Analogue World. Excerpts 1-9

For the latest installment in the Fresh Kept Secrets series, I present to for your consideration, another figure I seeing doing big things in the near future: Suzi Analogue. Suzi is a Philadelphia-based singer, writer & producer who is making moves worldwide, through not only being signed to the Amsterdam-based label, Dopeness Galore, but also a future release on Japan’s Jazzy Sport. Along with her own solo releases, she also has upcoming collaborations with artists such as Georgia Anne Muldrow, Dudley Perkins, Frank Nitty (of Frank N Dank), Ras_G, Onra, Noni Limar, Melodee, Sterile Action Figures, Ragen Fykes, Knowledge, Devon, Swingkid, Portformat, and Cerebal Vortex.

As an introduction to Suzi, or a furthering for those already up on game, we have World. Excerpts 1-9 - a sampler of sorts of some of Ms. Analogue’s upcoming projects. Included in the album line-ups are her vocal projects, Lights On, The S Files and her instrumental project (under the name Suzilla), BEDBOOM. And while most of the tracks included in the sampler are self-produced, Suzi also gets some help from some similarly forward-thinking beatmakers, Knxwl3dg3, Mindesign, and Devon (who we’ll be hearing more from very soon - just a heads up).

For more on the Excerpts, Suzi left these words from her press release with her initial transmission: “Like a true sound scientist, Suzi Analogue has compiled nine recent excerpts created during her experiences in Philadelphia, Los Angeles, and Tokyo respectively. The project blends style, arrangement, and a passion to love the world around her with a clear honesty and without boundaries. Unafraid to mix grime with softer sounds, the intent of Excerpts is to open a window into her world to come.” (Fresh Selects review)

This girl is straight fire...watch out for her :-)

My Favorite Mixtapes (So Far...)

I love this lady and all her split personas: Muhsinah >>> Boozina >>> Nhmiah Su.

Robust, bubbling self-produced soultronica to make the galactic jazz federations bump spaceships unto a DUI arrest. I’m high and my head pulsates with this miniature masterstroke. A more zealously realised piece of work than her prior material, presented to us in under 14 minutes of audio- I go to bed hungry.

Stacy Epps - Floatin' Video

Finally it's here...i've been waiting for this video for the longest....my girl looks so fabulous....oh yeah don't forget to see my girl Iman in the background grooving to the song...it cracks me up everytime...LOL

Song of the day: Havana - Not Affected

I maybe a little late for this...but everysce this single has been released i have been wearing it out for real....can't wait for the album to drop..."Entervention" album will be in stores soon!!! Lyrically, Havana goes even further introverted and autobiographical this time out, but she still manages to keep it balanced with plenty of future house party and club favorites still sprinkled throughout the album. :-)

Introducing....Nadsroic

Nadsroic is the singing/rapping alias of Ciorsdan Brown alongside future break, hip hop / electronic producer Hudson Mohawke aka Hud Mo. Her full ep is due for Autumn release on LuckyMe with a 10" single in the pipeline for Optimo's Oscarr label to follow soon after. To date the young team have only played a handful of shows as Nadsroic including Radio One Sessions and a few shows alongside JD Twitch and JG Wilkes. Ciorsdan was schooled in the Scottish Highlands emersed in folk music before being dropped in the ugly Glasgow metropol of hip hop, techno, baltimore club & electro. With spells living in Copenhagen and an eminent move to semi - rural Japan it's hard to say where this 22 year old jetsetter picked up her natural sensibility for real pop and future R&B. When she's not teaching the children, go see her in a rare live show either back home in Glasgow or Japan. Personally Both of them are sick!!! Big Break Beats are a plus for me!!! Get the EP on itunes out now!
