Aloe Blacc - I Need A Dollar

2010-03-01T00:01:00.000-08:00

I finally got a chance to watch "How to Make it in America." So far it's decent. Glad they got Aloe Blacc to do the intro. My favorite joint for a while was "One Inna." (they're not letting me embed).

Dirty Soul for Clean Getaways w/ Mike (pt. 1)

2010-02-28T04:11:00.000-08:00

Today on this first edition of "Dirty Soul for Clean Getaways," I want to focus on the work that inspired me in my times of turmoil, happiness, pain, and adversity. I hope you enjoy this rare footage of Marvin doing a classic song "Come Get to This." This version is unlike the one you will find on his classical album "Lets Get It On." This version contains Marvin playing the piano, and transitioning into "Distant Lover." Recorded in Belgium, he is Marvin...all of Marvin. Enjoy and find someone to love. Guns and roses my peoples, Mike 1.

B.O.B. x Bruno Mars - Nothin On You

2010-02-05T01:46:00.000-08:00

I'm a big supporter of B.O.B. To me, he had a little Andre 3000 to him. Plus, he brought something different to T.I.'s Grand Hustle label. But this song, which i'm assuming is suppose to be his actual single, is a little too poppy for my tastes. If he still got tracks like "Haters Everywhere" and "I'll Be In The Sky," then it should be a good album.

I've decided this song would be ill if the beat was slow on some double time shit. I might need to holla at The Aviators for a remix.

Spotlight: Febrio

2010-01-18T00:32:00.000-08:00

The "Spotlights" section is just meant to shine some light on personal friends of mine because honestly, I think I chill with some of the most interesting, creative, and talented people around. So without further ado...
I must have met Feb in 06. But I might've heard of the legend that is Feb before that. At the time, he was making music with his crew (BA), while I was making music with mine. Keen was the middleman, bringing back tracks he made with Feb and letting us hear them and I was blown away. As fate would have it, our paths crossed and thus, another piece of Union City's Megazord was added.

My name is...
Febrio

a.k.a.
Feb. FabFiveFebby. Snebby. Snebster.

I'm from...
the west side of the Une.

But i'd rather be in...
LV. LA. JP.

You should know me because...
- I'm 1/12th of Beautiful Music, Baby.
- 1/4th of the Skywalkers.
- 1/10th of BA.
- 1/2 of the Aviators.
- an engineer at 17 Hertz Studios.
- someone introduced us.

Im currently working on...
- mixing/recording/making new BMB music.
- MaKiNg PhAt BeAtZzZzZzZ!!!
- a 1000 piece 3D puzzle of the Leaning Tower of Pisa.

Some people say I look like...
no comment.

Don't let anyone tell you...
your butt's too big.

The last time I said never again...
I said never again, again.

The cure for a hangover is...
a #25 at Pho Pasteur with wontons. Egg noodle baby! Or a #45 with fried rice and add an egg. Also, a XXX Vitamin water and Trolli gummy eggs.

Mama always said...
don't do bad things.

Happiness is...
currency.

The Key to success is…
being successful.

If you see me, you should...
do the Harlem shake.

My future projects/plans are...
- finish mixing BMB’s next album “UG CITY” (halfway done by the way)
- create and release music.
- make a living doing what I want to do.

Final words/Shout outs...
Help me help you.

I wanna give a shout out to ANY & EVERYBODY I’ve encountered so far in life. And a shaboo-ya roll call to Dirty Magz for doin’ this spotlight yoint. I’d plug in all my websites and twitter and phone number and home address, but D will write that in later anyway.

Erk Tha Jerk - "Right Here" (Dir. by Taj)

2010-01-16T17:52:00.000-08:00

the official music video for "Right Here" by Erk The Jerk just dropped. And yes, he's rockin' a IMPRM varcity jacket and IMPRM "Straight Murkin' Fools" fitted. Not sold anywhere.

"I wanted to shoot a video for Erk that would showcase sensuality and the cosmetics of the Bay Area without landmarks. I wanted it to speak to who Erk was specifically while mirroring the actual music itself. I hope you enjoy it. I love my city. I hope it shows."

God is good.

The "Spotlights" section is just meant to shine some light on personal friends of mine because honestly, I think I chill with some of the most interesting, creative, and talented people around. So without further ado...
I met MJ probably when I was in high school...or was it early college? Either way, it started out as "I know you, but I don't KNOW you." Now I see her mug almost every other day. MJ is like one of the guys. But I don't mean that in an offensive way. She's the kinda girl that'll drink a beer with you, burp in your face, then top it off with a faux Chinese accent...real classy like. She's also really handy with a picture taker thingy device.

My name is...
Mary Jo "MJ" Aquino

a.k.a.
Maria Jose

I'm from...
Fremont/Pinay/510

But i'd rather be in...
Tokyo dressed up as a gothic lolita.

You should know me because...
umm I don't know? my Chinese accent? perhaps my miniature collection? perhaps that I like taking pictures of your beautiful faces?

Im currently working on...
manifesting my visions in photographs.

Some people say I look like...
an owl, a beautiful owl that is.

Don't let anyone tell you...
you're ugly.

The last time I said never again...
working in a psych ward…actually I still work here.

The cure for a hangover is...
bacon and cheddar potato wedges with sour cream, jalapeno poppers w/ buttermilk, a large Coke, and Excedrin.

Mama always said...
to not say anything bad or else God will cut my tongue.

Happiness is...

The Key to success is...
on Cloudnina.

If you see me, you should...
make me laugh!

My future projects/plans are...
to be the next Anthony Bourdain...catch me on the Travel Channel ya horse!

Final words/Shout outs...
Shout outs to my homies in Brooklyn, shout outs to my homies in the Bronx, and shout outs to YOU homies… keep it surreal!

Spotlight: Keen

2010-01-07T00:12:00.000-08:00

I've decided to bring the "Spotlights" section back. When I chose to do these, it was just meant to shine some light on personal friends of mine because honestly, I think I chill with some of the most interesting, creative, and talented people around. So without further ado...

Keen is a good friend i've known for probably 14 years now. And even after all these years, he still manages to surprise me. From rapping to photography (shit, even video games), it seems like every time Keen learns something new, he becomes a pro at it. Keen will probably be the first to tell you that regardless of where his talents take him, he's just happy doing what he does and being able to share it with the masses. All of a sudden, i'm looking forward to the next 14 years.

My name is...

Keane

a.k.a...

Keen, Dashes, Dashes Clay

I'm from...

Born in the Phillippines, residing in Fremont, but Union City is the stomping grounds.

But i'd rather be in...

Somewhere sandy preferably. Where I can sip on a mojito or something.

You should know me because...

Of the music, of the pictures, of the blog, or whatever.

I'm currently working on...

Staying savvy. And trying to express myself as stylishly or as creatively as I can.

Some people say I look like...

I just woke up or I'm up to no good.

Don't let anyone tell you...

Shit...F'real.

The last time I said never agin...

It probably had something to do with alcohol or gambling. Or a combination of both. my two favorite vices.

The cure for a hangover is...

Mango juice, for real. But mango juice cures everything so I don't know if that can count. I heard a red bull and a candy bar does you good too.

Mama always said...

I was hard-headed.

Happiness is...

A hot day, a cold beer, and a good soundtrack playing off in the distance.

The key to success is...

Staying true to yourself through the highs and the lows. And just allowing everything else to fall where it does.

If you see me, you should...

Say whats up, stick around and shoot the breeze. Despite what the songs say, despite what you think or may have heard, I love meeting new folks.

My future projects/plans are...

On some top-secret shit.

Final words/shout outs...

My close friends and family. BMB, BA/ATC, Imperium, Thorough etc. You. Them. Everyone and anyone. The whole world. Check out the blog if you don't already.

Rick Ross and the Triple C's have been killin it with the music videos lately. It's like they just went to an island, brought an HD handi-cam and made a quick video for all their joints - and it's working. They're grimey, but crisp at the same time. I just really dig guerilla style videos, but ones that look as clean as these - Rik Cordero shit. Specially, these 2 videos. Strictly split screen, with someone guttin' lobsters and cuttin' raw meat. And it doesn't hurt that the rapping is good too. Mean.

Blog Spotlight

2009-08-17T21:18:00.000-07:00

a quick rundown of all the blogs I got running along the side. Peep them, follow them, stalk them...

A Love So Strange - Run by Marcellus Holmes. Full of photos, quotes, and other bits of inspiration that he ~~steals~~ borrows from the internets. His mind is kinda fucked up, which makes his blog that much more entertaining...

Adrizzle: The Bodacious Excursions of Adriel Luis - My cousin and always travelling poet, Adriel. Member of the famed Ill-Literacy crew. He probably experiences more things in a month than I do in a year...

After the Clock (ATC) - Some of the illest artwork you will ever see by Dom, Bryant, and Jessica. A talented group these young artists are. Stay updated on their shows and buy their artwork. They're worth every penny...

Chef Boyrdean's Recipe House - Dean is a master of the culinary arts, but in the end, I just want him to make me some ramen with an egg. Peep his blog for super not-so secret recipes and all things food inspired. Plus his pompadour game is on point...

Cloud Nina - MJ has a nice camera and enjoys taking pictures. Therefore, you should peep her photos and enjoy them. She treats her camera like a spanish lover, which is why we've made her our designated-twitter-default-photo-taker...

Dashes Clay - Your favorite photographers new favorite photographer. When he takes a photo of you, every side is your good side. I hear he's a pretty good rapper too...

DiggaVision - fellow BMB member Digga. He's just your average tech guy/singer/DJ/bassist/party thrower/medical dude. With all those traits, he can single handedly save a wedding. Peep his blog to find out when the next party is happening in the Bay...

Doctor Cedy - Everyone's favorite barber, Ced. He only updates his blog once every 2 months. No blog can illustrate what he's like in real life anyways. Visit Village Plaza Barbershop in Hayward, CA for all your hair cutting needs...

Daybreak by Fab Five Febby - BMB/Skywalkers member Febrio. He likes Max B, Dipset, ignorant rap, oldies and long walks on the beach. When you visit his blog, make sure to leave the backpack and headwrap at the door...

IMPRM - the official website of Imperium clothing. Show some love and support by copping a tee. Life, liberty, & weight...

Juds - Judee loves fashion, dance, music, and board games (when she's winning). She is also a master in the slanguage arts. Hang out with her for a couple days and you might hear one of her slang terms. Aweskome!...

Money Makes Me Handsome - Handled by some good friends of mine. A blog for all things wealth inspired. I feel like i'm spending money just browsing through it...

RTudda - the homie RJ handles this one. He recently moved to Southern California (wack) so he'll have tons of new experiences to document. He claims he moved because of school, but everyones knows it's because he fears me at the bowling alley...

Sorry Jose - Run by Tai and another one of his friends (i think). Some people are food critics. Some people are movie critics. The good folks at Sorry Jose are life critics. They review everything - and I mean everything. They gave Beyonce a "love me some Beyonce" rating. I can dig it...

The Flesh - Home of TJ. He recently migrated from the Bay to LA and I think he's already blended in. A regular sports fanatic who alway seems to be the first out of all of us to have the "leaked nude photo" of certain celebrities. Those just happen to be a few of my favorite things...

The Rawest Lunchbox - Chris from the city of fog. A big man who takes his food seriously and a frequent visitor of Las Vegas. I can always count him to answer his phone when I wanna grub at 1am. He also lives in a bombshelter - if that doesn't peak your interest, then you must live in outer space...

THISxTHATxTHEOTHER - run by Dairy of Thorough fame. He's always up on anything and everything. Peep his blog every chance you get, then pretend to your friends that you discovered some new shit...

Amber Rose (Complex Shoot)

Another N.E.R.D. show (number 4 I think). Pretty much the same as the last Warfield show. I didn't go down to the main floor where the action was this time. Everyone gave me the stink eye when I tried to squeeze my way through. The back of Monsta's head was close, but I just couldn't reach far enough so I stayed towards the back with MJ, Michelle and Thorough.

Winner of the night was a dude in a wheelchair. He got to stay on stage for the whole show, and he kept taking off his prosthetic leg to play it like a guitar. It's times like these that I wish I still had my digi-cam. I think it'll be my next purchase...
