Incisive, Me & Kadija Kamara - Limelight @ 1920, Farringdon

WHUSSUP!!!

Troy Bar in Shoreditch

Mishaps occurred at that gig: my guitarist dropped out on the day of the performance.
Watch the video to see how that one turned out!





A BIG thank you to Street Focus for the effort and skill of a truly great Guitarist.
Footage of the actual gig in a couple days - check HERE!!!

(What happens when YouTube, or Vimeo doesn't give you enough disk space per week!!!!!!)

And for the many, many, many people who said "You should have told me when the gig was on man. I would'a soooo came to see you!".

I have, did, and always will, post the gigs on Facebook, and Myspace.

Lastly, here's a remix I did of Lil' Wayne and Young Money's "Every Girl". Kinda into the summer mood right now:



Enjoy!

Hey hey!

3 new pieces of news:

1) Words cannot describe, so watch the video below. (Ed "The Ed" Riches has entered my life)

2) An acoustic rendition of Talk To Me has emerged. Again, watch the video below.

3) During the exam period (Queen Mary - brap brap), I got sick of revision, and blog hopped .........

....... came across the myspace site of "Danny!" and wrote a song to one of his instrumentals.

After this, I had a thought. Then said to myself "................ he's gonna hate me for this", and recorded it upstairs.

From then on, the story goes:

Illegally. I have to admit. I downloaded one of your instrumentals from myspace, and wrote something over it.

Probably not what you want to hear from a random stranger, I know, but the beat seemed to hug me. I really apologize for the violation, but (like you don't know it already) you really make good music.

Here is what I made - let me know if I did the beat justice, or if I should erase the song, and your myspace from my memory.

I've only uploaded it to myself, so you have no worry of it being sent anywhere else.

You know what? I'm not mad at all. Why? Because the song is actually very dope. I like it a lot!

Obviously, you aren't the first person to gank a beat from me and let me know after the fact, but I do appreciate what you've done with it. I never imagined anything melodic over it (I had rapping in mind), but what you did with it is very well done. Definitely did it justice.

You gotta tell me though...what is "jubbly"? LOL

------------------------ End of Message -------------------


I then told him what Jubbly was (lol: a definition of jubbly) and asked if I could post it on the myspace, and the blog.

..................... no reply.
I uploaded it anyway.

You wanna hear it?



Hope you enjoy the videos. More to come soon.

P.S: Should I do this with other myspace songs? Comment and let me know.
