Streetwise promotion

Just got back from a show in Jacksonville, NC. My homie from Battle Squad, Bishop Brooks, performed last night and did his thing. Fellow Battle Squad member, Tony Mack, also rocked with Bishop. Overall it was a cool night, a lot of crews out there performing...I'm glad I was able to make it...had a good time.

As I prepare Streetwise to drop, I have a lot of ideas to help continue to build a buzz for it. But then I started thinking, WHAT ELSE could I do that could help promote the project? Any promo is good promo in my book, so if anybody has any ideas as to what you think would be good moves for the project, let me know. I was listening to the album (for the 10193421985 time) and really feel like this is a dope project that a lot of people will feel.

I already have the publicity covered...Album release party, posters...the basic stuff...But maybe something different from the norm is what I'm thinking. I have some ideas for that, but if you have any, help a brotha out!!!

What went wrong with The Justus League

People are asking (over at the JL message board, www.thejustusleague.com/lawn) if the Justus League fell off...But probably for the first time I've ever seen online...the comments are genuine and sincere. Usually, when somebody has a comment to make about a crew online, 90% of the time, it seems like it's hate...But this was totally different...Fans seem to wonder "what happened to JL"...like they know we have plenty of music in us to smash the game, as a collective...and they want to see it happen...

I don't think the League fell off...But I do feel like shit is scattered...Yes, we are all grown men and make our own decisions...but we never (as of yet) gave ourselves a chance to really show the world what we can do...AS THE JUSTUS LEAGUE...I don't know if everyone in the League understands what our potential is...But I'm definitely going to step up and try to get some shit poppin with everybody...

Yes..The Justus League is not a "group" per se...And that has been kind of a double edged sword...Because when we started doing our thing...we made sure the Justus League was represented for everyone to see...Group or no group...onlookers are going to expect you to keep reppin the collective...that most listeners will say..."You guys made me fall in love with Hip Hop again"...You can't take that lightly...'cause me...being a fan of the music, if there was a 15 man collective that came out of nowhere and had a ton of dope music, with a variety of emcees, crazy producers, AND they are some really down to earth, approachable kats...I would love them dudes too (no "Homies over Hoes")....

So, the Justus League is still here...We are just getting started...Median and Chaundon dropped their debut albums just this past year. I'm dropping my official debut album in August, and everyone else only has either 2 or 3 albums...So we're all youngins still in this game...

Ride wit us...and be amazed once again...peace.

Don't Hate on Shaq!!!

What up,

I heard on the radio today that people were upset at Shaq's freestyle, since he did a little bit of cursing...And, he curses on his songs...AYO!!! It was a FREESTYLE!!! People kill me...It's almost like they're trying to make Shaq look bad...like he ain't a grown ass man...As much work that he's done for the community, how can you hate on him??? He doesn't think he's a saint, and others should think so either...All I know is, the Freestyle was dope ass hell!!! I'm not a Kobe fan either!!! For my own reasons, different from Shaq's...of course :)

I still don't understand how people say I sound like Shaq when I rap...That shit used to piss me off at first...But that wasn't until people started saying "Oh no...You sound like Will Smith!!!"...WHAAAAAT!??!?! HELL TO THA NAW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Not to say Will is wack...but c'mon yall...booooooooooooo that shit!!!

Did anyone ever say Will sounded like Rakim on "Summertime"!?!!?!?!? I NEVER heard that back in the day. I wonder...

Setting things off
