Here's the update on what I've been up to:
- I'm starting a new imprint/label called The Analog Catalog that will be dedicated to instrumental music. The first thing I'm going to release is going to be a compilation this fall that will included music from me, Blockhead, RJD2, The Opus, J. Rawls, Cryptic One, and some other cats that will be announced after they get their music in for it. It's a great deal of work trying to start something completely new, and even more difficult when you're touring a lot focusing on your own career, but my plan is to take most of the fall off to get things rolling. In the past two months since Ive been home there have been some great strides made and I've heard a lot of good music. For those that want to stay updated on it add the label on
www.myspace.com/theanalogcatalog. I just created the page a little while ago but it will be getting updated with regularity.
- I'm working on finishing my next instrumental album that will be released on The Analog Catalog.
- I'm currently repressing "Vitamins & Minerals" and "Iron & Niacin" for the people who missed them the first time around. Should start appearing on-line in the next couple of weeks.
- There's a new cat from Columbus named Zero Star that I'm doing production for. We'll be releasing his album on weightless this fall.
- I have two solo records that I'm working on simultaneously because they sound so different from eachother. From a production standpoint i guess you could say one is weird in an futuristic, electronic, outkast kinda way, and the other is more like some soulful, ghostface/wu-tang type shit. I'm about 10 or 11 songs into both of them and should be done by the end of the fall. I'd like at least one of them to come out next year and i dont know where they're going to come out. Either way i'm not in any real rush because i want the next thing i put out to be really big and indicative of where I'm at as a musician and person, which is hard to do sometimes. (editor's note: )
- Right now i dont know if the record with one be lo is going to happen because its really out of my hands. I've done some beats and he's written some songs but we have only recorded one song so far. I think it would be a great record if we could get in the lab and knock it out. Hopefully by the end of this summer we'll have more of an update. I'll be in Ann Arbor on Sept 22nd @ the Blind Pig for my people in the area. (editor's note: ehhh...whatever.)
- Im working on a new greenhouse record as well. Since raptivism jerked us on the last one we've decided to give it away on our myspace page (myspace.com/greenhousecrew). I figure if we're not gonna make any money off it then nobody should, so take five minutes and download the whole album. its got murs and jakki on it and i did all the beats (which i like a lot).
Thats about it for now. Thanks for the support everybody.
