First, our video for Rescue is almost complete; we should have a copy to preview in the next week. The video will be available to everyone else shortly after, but not until Living A Nightmare… is totally set. We want to thank director John Schweitzer for all his time and effort into the video. We’re very excited and have the utmost confidence that the video will even more fly than we expect.
As of now, it appears that the album is going to come out in Fall. We’ve been taking our time with everything and appreciate everybody’s patience upon the release. It will be worth the wait. We’ve had a couple of potential opportunites that have come our way, and we’re attempting to time the album with these events. Also, we just went to Skrapz‘s house a couple nights ago and discussed the artwork for Living A Nightmare… again, and feel as though we have a clear idea of how we want everything to look. There should be a cover for the album in the next few weeks. We will also be taking pre-orders for the album, as well as a release date on itunes, rhapsody, etc. to get indiviual songs, or cop the whole album.
This Saturday, July 25th, we’re playing the Corktown Music Festival around 5pm. This is an all day event celebrating the history of Corktown and the D. The hip hop stage was put together late, so that’s why this is the first mentioning of it. What beats a Saturday in Historic Detroit drinking brew and basking in the Michigan sun? For more info on the festival hit up www.corktownmusicfestival.com or just hit us up on FB, email, etc. THIS EVENT IS FREE!
Yes, we are aware that the Vlogs have slowed down slightly. To be honest, they’ve slowed down because we’ve been trying to get other facets of the album together, but will try to stay on task as possible. We just finished up Vlog 11 and will be available next week to check out. If you haven’t checked out Vlog 10, it’s the making of our video shoot, all the way down to our Caddy breaking down several times and the animosity that comes with that. It’s an extended vlog, so it should keep you entertained for a couple more days.
A.M. is the featured artist of August @ Northern Lites Lounge in Detroit, and will be performing Tuesday, August 25th @ “Things Done Changed” which is a weekly hip hop night featuring DJs Uncle Paulie and Equad. Paulie is like my older brother and has been holding down this night for over three years. Even with the ups and downs of hosting a night for so long, the two have stuck together in holding the best Tuesday in Michigan. This is also HANDS DOWN my favorite bar in Detroit with a lowkey vibe and great drink prices. Paulie also just spun @ the Cityfest over the 4th of July which was great for a guy who’s been making music and DJing for YEARS helping our scene evolve. To top it off, Paulie did one beat on Living A Nightmare… entitled Number Two. Northern Lites is located @ 660 Baltimore in Detroit. THIS EVENT IS FREE!
Besides working on our own album, as well as Tony’s solo efforts, I’ve worked with these artists recently: Madio aka TexT, D.Allie, MC Tay, Rtikul8, Midcoast Most, AJAX, Sterling White, Aztek, Ella Duval, and Uncle Paulie. There might be a couple more, but you can look for my beats on upcoming songs from all those people, as well as some new ish in the works I’m sure.
Real long update, but partially needed. I tried to update on my phone last night and it timed out in which I mumbled “fuck my life” more than once. Thanks for staying in the loop. Holler.
