Print.....Comic Books Unlimited.....

Print has released his latest creation for the masses....Comic Books Unlimited. I had the chance to listen to it earlier......dopeness.

Yea Im biased....Unlimited & Ridin High feat. Capri are my favorites....hahahaha

Shout out to Ibe for producing those bangers......
And shout out to Print for putting such a dope collection together....

Get the mixtape HERE

Picture That.........

Its crazy cause it'll hurt me to be mad at you right now. You pull and push at the same time like I aint human. Babe that’s all I am is a human. Then im a man. Then Im a traveled man. I have been on this road for 24 years and I know it aint easy to understand that. I just need a thought on it. Just ponder my path when you blaming me for not being on yours. We established conversation with the topic being our foundation, and you tell me you aint my shorty. Picture that….literallly…you could relate. I aint asking you to be my shorty. You could keep your legs closed. Just don’t cover that heart. And I know I can be pushing it with the heart, cause the heart is real. And that’s all I was trying to say before. I know “I don’t like restrictions and rules” came out, but your heart should of got what I was really trying to say. Don’t sign off on me, we’re worth more than that. Honestly I told myself to just leave it alone, but im at work and it’s a quarter after eight, Donell Jones comes on and you run across my peripheral. Who am I to disregard your existence? So I started writing and talking to myself aloud. It kinda feels like im talking to you, even though youre no where around and probably not even thinking about Taurean. Maybe you did think about Taurean. Unfortunately only time will tell.........

Ibe & Print.........

Glad we just caught the album. The homey Print got up with Ibe and in 2 days recorded 2 bangers for the Comic Books Unlimited album. Comic Books Unlimited will be out April 13th.

Here is some footage of the process.....




And yes Print will also be on The Generation Now Album.....

Love in the Rain..........

Let's run in the rain.....down a quiet street....on a beautiful night. Let's just run....I don't care where, and it doesn't matter. Just running alongside you would be great. I wish us to hold hands and dismiss any opposing thoughts to our presence. Just smile and run through the drops. Our hearts will be full and yes, our clothes soaked but so what. Imagine a sweet tune in your head. This would be so refreshing.....

Do you wish to join me? Please agree. After I promise we can dry off and return to society's living. I don't know why this thought has come into my head but I do not wish to ignore it. It must be for a reason. It just must....... Give me your hand. The shower outside is just as warm as the bathrooms. As we go I pause and think to myself for a sec......and I grin 1000 men's happiness. All thanks to you......

Just me.......

I am just me. Though I may dabble here and there, I can and will only be me. Don't just accept me. You have a choice, and its cool if you choose not to. Just don't bullshit. Don't call my name then look the other way as if I'm bugging out. I know what I heard. I am just me and that's all I can ever be. Check out my palm. My lines are unique to the core. I have not followed outside of twitter which adds to my uniqueness. Appreciate what you like about me. Help me grow with your talents, if you choose to get that close……

This place wants to force me into a shell. I don't even eat crawfish though. I just want mashed potatoes. My attempts at strength building are downed by the masses. The average never wanna see you supersede them, but they'll still support u if you're dope enough. Life here is a question and you'll never know the answer. This is why one must just live. Disregard the baby on the side of the road....maintain your focus. Look beyond them as you pass them by in the street. Try ya best not to look them in the eye, unless you feel they're worth it. If it turns out they weren't, its cool. Life is also about lessons....

While listening to Jade.....

I wrote this while listening to Jade's "Sometimes You Cant Say Enough"...Her EP is available April 1st @ myspace.com/jadeismusic & wetnotdry.blogspot.com

In the rays of this sunlight I think of you. I imagine you lying next to me in this field. The grass is green, the birds are chirping, the breeze is light, and my heart is full. I’m speaking aloud….there’s not another human soul for miles. I’m sure you can hear me. Would you like to take a walk? There’s this beautiful tree not too far from here. It sits along a cliff and the view is amazing. We can watch the sunset. I have brought along fruit and wine. Your favorites…..peaches, strawberries, and pineapples. I got them from a great market on the way here. The owner was pleasant; he even threw in the Pinot Grigio at no cost. I’m gonna chop the fruit up and feed em to you. Take a napkin and whip your lips. I love the way the wind blows in your hair. You look like a Goddess. I am your follower. Direct me as you wish…..

I really wish you could taste this fruit. The strawberries are so sweet……and these things are huge lol. I know you would love them. Love…..at times things get difficult for me without you. I try to walk in the right directions, but I never know for sure. You were my concrete and now without you I’m wet. Wet left to world to take shape as they please. And baby you know how the world can be. They don’t know, so they don’t do. If it wasn’t for the thought of you, I wonder…..how could I…..or why would I… There’s the sunset babe….. I….want to….join….you…..

L.I.P.S. is here.........

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

(New York, NY April 1, 2009)

Loft Boys Media announces
L.I.P.S. the debut project of Producer Singer-Songwriter known as – Raye 6.

Spending the last several years recording and touring around the world,
L.I.P.S. (Love Is Powerfully Sexy) is the seductive siren’s first complete body of work.
Raye 6 is known for her action packed sexually charged live performances full of Roses and Beautiful Ladies blowing Bubbles. Featuring her crews The Haters of Love and The Bubble Girls.
“I let people into my world every time they see me perform. It's time for them to have me in their headphones and homes. That's why I’m releasing the L.I.P.S. mixtape - so the people that love me can have something to take with them.”
Mixed by Brooklyn’s own Dj Victorious (Draft Pick Dj’s), L.I.P.S. is a soundscape which proved to be a perfect ode to the classic songs of Soul, Rock, Pop and Hip Hop as well as to the artists who created them. L.I.P.S. features ten seamlessly blended duets where Raye 6 pays her respect to great music and musicians in her own voice...and lyrics. “ If I were in the studio with Roberta Flack, Rakim, Nas, Prince, Kanye & The Roots this is what it would sound like. More frankly -I'm feeling the shit out of these songs so let me add on to them!”.

Each song on L.I.P.S. was arranged & recorded by the artist herself and came in clusters of five. she explains: “I recorded them on a laptop in a little bedroom in Maryland while on the road. The first five took four days – the other five came to me right afterwards - but in reality, I’ve been singing my own words to these songs since I heard them – some of them for my whole life! When I decided to do an actual Mix tape it came together in a matter of days. Once DJ Victorious was able to learn my language I learned that he could read minds! Every blend and interlude was something he snatched out of my past and attached to the songs without me having to say a word. It's rare to find someone you can trust to shape your sound. I'm not easily satisfied when it comes to collaborations but DJ Victorious made me believe!


Raye 6 is not afraid to be anyone she wants to be. L.I.P.S. gives you a glimpse at the tools that sculpted her into the artist, songstress and starlet she is.
It’s full of Pain, Romance, Fun, Pleasure and of course, Sex.
No matter what it is you are missing – Raye 6 fills the void. You know what we mean.
So listen, laugh, screw and don’t worry - she wont bite – unless you want her to.
Love Is Powerfully Sexy

The ultimate uninhibited Raye 6 experience She Looks Like Fun (Lp) is forthcoming.

Last Week I Watched a Rockstar Fuck Her Audience.........

Last week I watched a rockstar fuck her audience. She literally made all of us all cum. And she was not alone either. She was accompanied by her two "bubble girls"..... definitely bubbly. I was one of the first to see the ladies as I was outside when they rolled up. I greeted Raye and told her I was excited to see the new set. Yea this was not my first night with the rockstar. Remember "Last Night I.......". She looked so stunning, even being all covered up in her overcoat. She is exactly what sexy is in 2009. Don't fuck with it if you can't handle it......

The ladies walked through us as they made their way to the stage. As I looked around at all of the turned on faces, I couldn't help but notice all of the women present. I watched nipples peculate. Lips being bit. Sweat and other moist secretions be created. I love the cross gender affection of our generation. There is nothing sexier than the essence of a sexy woman being sexy.

They begin.....we are all turned on. Most become jealous as one of us is chosen to part take in the foursome live on stage. Raye 6 does not do shows.....she creates experiences. As Raye's voice controls the air, we float deeper and deeper into her seduction. The Gods have blessed her with their sound. Our souls are bound to her voice. It is a helpless force once to the ear.....no control over it.....absolutely nothing you can do about it....you're helpless.....who's complaining......?

The night continues and at this point we are all engulfed in each other. Sexual seduction is at a peak.....tonight does not have to be over, but this show is coming to an end. An end only due to a new beginning for her virgins. You should definitely come join satisfaction. Bad is the new good, she'll prove it. Leave all of your inhibitions with tradition. This is that new shit. Her name is Raye 6. Come fucke with her....no protection....

While listening to Ibe's latest beat..........

Who is it that determines success…..is it you? No. Repeat after me……ME. I determine. If I left it to niggas they would never respond to first email. I have to be a persistent bastard. I ask my dad for advice. He’s always right, but he’s also in his late 40s. He couldn’t get Theophilus more than he could spell it. But like I said he’s right. Im just left. Friends I grew up with all I say I left. I still live in The Bronx, how far have I gone. That’s just the physical though. Mentally…I’ve been gone. Nigga we could tape our separate conversations for 2 weeks and not have one thing that we both said match. Don’t blame me. Blame existence. That’s all I’m doing….existing……

I put my heart on my sleeve and my mind in my wallet. Some get to toy with it. They see it there and cant believe its so visible. They think im different for it. I am different, but it aint because of that. They play with my heart and I allow it…..hoping for something. Something to take it off my sleeve and place it next to theirs……but. No one does that. They see it lying there and they grab it and throw it and catch it. Its crazy….they think my heart is a bouncing ball. I allow it till play time is over. When that happens, they usually get mad. They say I’ve changed. No….my brain just came out of my wallet. Now it is your loss. You fucking mistake a heart for a bouncing ball. Idiot. Now leave…….

This physical shit is irrelevant. Skin dies and re-grows. You’ll never speak the same of your soul. I am so pissed with bullshit. And I am the Taurus. Taurean is what she wanted us to call me. I have no complaints, but it does get annoying repeating the same word over and over to the guy saying Toreen. If my name was Toreen, I would of said Toreen. But no you heard Taurean. Address me as such. Is there a place where there is no you or me….and just us……we….them…..I hope…..

Shyvonne.....CRAZY.....

Anyone who knows me….well anyone who knows me on a personal-business level. Dam its funny….as I write this I realize that there are so many people that are close to me, yet don’t know the real me. And as I’ve been meeting and connecting with people, I feel like they have a better sense of who I am as oppose to some of the people who have known me for years. It’s funny and it’s not funny. I have had some let’s just say interesting moments in time wondering why this is or wishing it was different. Ok back on…lol. With dealing with anything, from music, writing, modeling, sex, and mostly anything else I am involved in,I am so into the emotional aspect of it. If you can reach someone’s emotions then you made that connection. And I’m all about that connection. You can sing ya ass off, but if you can’t connect with an audience, then what are you doing?

I say this to say that I have come across an amazing female. Her name is Shyvonne. I have known Shyvonne for a minute through working with Mickey Factz and seeing her around at events here and there. I knew she could sing and wanted to fuck with her (not like that, although she is dope as hell and I wouldn’t mind….), but this video of her singing Gnarls Barkley’s CRAZY……smfh. In the video, which is dated Sept 25, 08, she is singing through a video camera. This is not a studio rendition recreated and mastered. This is just her, Melo-X the God, and pure passion. I have wiped tears from my eyes listening to this. Shyvonne is the epitome of a soulful, passionate voicestress. Listen to her and don’t be afraid to join in her emotions. Just let go and vibe out…….

What a Night.......

What a night……Woke up at 8AM this morning, mind you I start work at 8….smh. The show was Gen Now dope. Actually met up with JB3 at the train station. Good talk on the way to the show….cant wait to work with the boi aka The Soul.

So I get to the show, but the fucking bouncer didn’t even wanna let me in. My license is expired and faded ridiculously. You cant read anything on it…..I know I gotta get a new one. But I do have my job ID with my bday on it and that’s been working for me since April….smh. This fucker wouldn’t accept it. At first he says its because my job id doesn’t have my bday on it, but after I show him he’s like “oh, but you still need a state id”. Pissed the fuck off at this point, because now he’s playing. Don’t tell me its because of “A” and then gonna bring up “B” and fucking “C”. I pulled out my bank card, voter registration card, and he was still being a dick. And this is not even a midtown urban spot or a swanky meatpacking district spot. We are on Ave B……come on…!!!!

A nice young lady did pull me aside before I went too far and really wouldn’t be able to get in. Shout out to Kiera. She was like “you better get over here before you really miss the show”. That’s why I love my generation and culture. She didn’t know me from shit, but still felt the need to look out. That’s what Generation Now is about…..Real Love for Us. But back to the night. The manager comes out and theres no problem. We all walk right in and now Im happy…lol. See Mr. Mickey Factz before heading downstairs. We discuss the album a bit. Ibe has about 4 joints on there….so crazy! Jesse kicks off the show and rocks it. Didn’t do one of my favorites from The Beauty Created… “Come to My Room” but he’s shooting the video for it this weekend and it will be directed by my Gen Now partner Luduh. After Jesse and TBC finishes, Melo comes on and tears it down. He brought out Mickey, Nicki , and the great Theophilus London. Dooope show. Its always great to be surrounded by my Gen Now peers.

After the show headed off to catch Ibe at the Thompson Hotel. Chopped it up with Luduh, Emcee Don (he’s not really an emcee), Nunnie from Rockstar Society, and lost and found rapper Emcee Nova. Great talks + great music + great liquor = a great night….!

Shout out to Generation Now

Generation Now....

Gordon I used to like you......

Fuck you.......you smile in my face then spit on my back. You don't give a fuck about me. I am but a number in an equation to you and God forbid the numbers don't come out in my favor.... You don't understand, so you don't know, so why should I care? Fuck a recession, God knows no financial down-time. You have no passion in your abilities, there for you try to bring me down. Fuck your position, I am a career. There is no application. No screening process. Fuck your prerequisites. You want a degree, check the weather. I am man built and God sent. You ain’t see me before, for damn sure ain’t seeing me in the future, so why would I look familiar now? And you shouldn't if you could. I think, eat, and breathe Taurean......and your name is? And your company name is......? I bet yall down-sizing right now too right? Kiss the asses of all those who you let go.......

I heard I should be lucky since I haven't smelled the gasoline. Fuck you, that smell ain’t foreign. I'm cool this time around, but Sooner or Later.......fuck with N.E.R.D. if you don't already. It all comes crashing down when the fuckers who are suppose to be holding you down do nothing but literally hold you down. Get your motherfucking hands off of me........Bitch...lol. Its obvious, in the plan for your business, I'm not mentioned. There is no section for leaders. Attention all brilliant motherfuckers......We are not welcomed here! I'm not asking you to join me. Join us......those who see the difference. We who know, but more importantly, we who will. Fuck this bullshit dome they built. On Tuesday, I'm handing out rocks at 9AM sharp and probably won't be done till around........5 fucking PM. Welcome to your new 9-5 interns. Don't like the word intern, then never stop throwing rocks at the dome........my leader......

Wanna sit and talk.....

Not really sure what to write about…..there’s so much going on. I am literally involved in changing the world. It’s definitely not just me. I’m surrounded by so many great people. I’m also currently considering a huge move. It’s one of those moves that can really turn out great or really turn out bad. The uncertainty of it is kind of attractive. I’m listening to Radiohead and I swear it isn’t helping…lol. Radiohead puts you in that freedom zone. Like I always imagine listening to great music roaming across the globe and taking in incredible sights. I don’t know what to do. I’m going to call my pops. He offers great advice. I’m sure he’s gonna mention my job, because if I do take this opportunity, my day job is finito. Not that I love my job, but in this economy its tough…..FYI I hate the way I just came across….talking about the economy in opposition to what I want to do….smh. Sometimes you just gotta live life….this opportunity came my way. Who am I not to fuck with it? I don’t control this shit. I’m just a being. Why am I worrying about shit that doesn’t exist outside society? That’s why I love animals….not in a PETA way, but in an admiring way. Animals don’t worry about jobs, time, jealousy….they just live. Aint that what Generation Now is about? Doing what we feel. Living how we want, as opposed to what they suggest. Not gonna front….I’m a lil scared, but its more excitement than fear. Shit fear is False Encounters About Reality anyway. SMH a million times……don’t know what I’m going to do. Almost 3PM….I’ve been at work since 6AM, its time to go. Generation Now…..I love being a Blak Car….
