Expecting quite a bit you guys to like it and hate it on some 50/50 shit. I had this project completed in 2009 but fate with life changes and etc. held this project up from being released. Experimental black white rap stuff not made for the swagga-rific tight jean hipster trap-hop cocksuckers. White people that know how black people should be....please do not listen to this album. Black people that wanna join The Money Team.....do not listen to this album. Free download (wow, thats so amazing, isn't it?). Enjoy......

I will check this, as I think you are musically gifted despite your personal deficiencies.

Plus it sounds racially mixed, yo.

That album is done and will be out by the end of the year. Me and C Royal got the 3 single deal on the same label that is pushing Joey Beats & Blak so we're trying to get that promotion for that out of the way. Thanks for asking. Trying to get a video for at least one of those singles done soon.

Thanks man.

I should give some background info. on this.

:didntread:

in advance

Double Plus would run into me at these cyphers off U Street and at the time, we were connected with a bunch of groups that eventually became Food Chain Collective (Rosetta Stoned, Flex Mathews, Educated Consumers, Math Panda, etc). I didn't have a studio at the time so Plus was like "get up with Metaphysical" since they had a spot out in Clarendon, VA to record at (where there were also some cyphers when Capital City Records shut down). At the same time, since folks around us were forming groups, we vibed on the shit we would both say so he suggested we do this project. So, the Penultimate Party People and Fireworks tracks were like the first ones we did. Plus would link up with muthafuckas who were on that whole RJD2/Def Jux sound which I was a fan of and figured it would be good for my catalogue to have something more diverse. Furthermore, I was working on my solo album, the album with Metaphysical, and the Ardaplus project damn near all at the same time.

Little details of the project trip me out when I hear it. I wrote my Penultimate Party People verse once and never re-did it. Plus re-did that damn thing like 3 times I want to say. There were like 5 or 6 remixes for Broke Beat which included some from Cubbiebear, Absombrir, Doug The Dagger, and Metaphysical. The drums for Powerlunching were actually re-done again but we lost that version; funny its about hating your job because at the time, we both liked our jobs and once we stopped performing the song as much, we hated our jobs. Fireworks was originally a song I was going to do with Lady Maroo from Math Panda but Plus jacked the beat and made it some other shit when I wasn't in the studio one day

. I was pissed but the song came out good once we did it. I had to convince Plus to do a song called Perfect Day because he would be in the foulest moods and thats part of why his verse comes in the way it does. To Be A Bomb was a track I originally was not going to rap over but Plus pushed the idea of the song when I heard roughs of it. So, I started working on my ideas for it; unorthodox in context but I like it from ewhat we were trying to convey. OBR was supposed to have a video but that fell through for some reason. Binary was one of the last songs we did which were supposed to have additional shit on it from DJ Cam One but the scratches were lost when the studio went down. Gasoline Tears was an idea Plus had for making things worse about not doing anything to resolve a situation.

The other songs that aren't on here will come out on a different EP. Hopefully some time next year. Thanks again everyone. Hope you enjoy it.

Plus is a cool dude. We had big ideas for the whole project that never came to light. But at least we had the drive to get some things done in the midst of it all. He changed his name to Slurgeon and works on making beats more often now. And he moved to Oregon. We're still in contact though.

Hope you guys like it. Peace.

I really enjoyed this. Gave it a first listen today, and it's one of those projects where each track is better than the last. Well done.

Thanks Chaz. I've got one post on a blog site so far and I'm trying to hit up a few more. Good feedback on it so far.

idk, targeting certain interested sites directly seems to often work better than just blind emailing. You know what a tragic mess a blog submissions inbox could be, and you know how much of that goes straight to trash.
