Another Day, Another Download

So on the eve of releasing my first mashup in evr, I feel it's only correct to drop a few lines to the blog that started it all. A lot has been going on in my personal life (more than I care to mention) but I'm trying to maintain. Everything is changing for me and I'm cool with that. My mindframe. My goals and aspirations. I've seen the light (so to speak) and I'm not gonna rush anything anymore. All I can do is what I love. What I feel gives me purpose. ya know?

Depression

It's 6:18 in the am and i'm feeling real depressed. This music has me stressing the fuck out. I feel so stagnant. I can't record when i need to. Nobody hits me up for beats to rap on. I don't even think people really listen to my shit. Sad way to be for a musician i know. I feel stuck in my situation, big time. Time is slowly slipping off the clock and i'm still sitting on the bench. I listen to other people's music and just get depressed all over again. I think being poor and shit is def a help toward my hunger, but it also lets me be real. I need more than a few friends telling me my shit is good. i'm sorry. I respect the opinions of others, i live for them. But sometimes i feel people give me alotta lip service. its hard to do this without help. My best friend in this world doesn't even pump my shit so what does that tell ya. All my dreams are gonna end up being crushed. because i want it too bad. The respect. I just want to make a living doing what i love. i wanna be able to tell my kids that i made my own path. That i didn't settle for no. but in this young man's game, i'm looking like an old-timer and my days are numbered. I'll be 28 on my birthday. And other than breathing, i really haven't accomplished much. Most of my ex-classmates are buying nice cars and homes. All i can brag about is a bunch of empty downloads. Lord help me.

The Ten Thousand Rupees Mix!!

Ok...so my latest mixtape The Ocarina of Rhyme is doing pretty damn well. I uploaded on March 17 and it is about 500 d'loads away from 10,000!! WOW right? So I decided to give the people another taste of Sleaze's Hyrule, with a new mixtape called Sleaze's Awakening; The Ten Thousand Rupees Mix. This project features mostly instrumentals that didn't make the first cut, a remix or two, and a few new tracks.

THE CATCH: I'm not uploading this collection until my downloads reach 10,000, so if you like what I'm saying get your friends, family, coworkers and associates involved and get them to download The Ocarina of Rhyme!! Let's get it!!

Uh...I'm still hungry.

My mixtape The Ocarina of Rhyme is about to hit 10,000 downloads but I'm still feeling kinda iffy about the reception. Don't get me wrong tho. I appreciate everyone who d'loaded the joint. I just wish the interwebs had taken a stronger attaching to it...

Thoughts @ Dad

Cherish the family you have, because mine ain't shit. I haven't spoke to my dad in going on 2 years. he disrespected me as a father, like he was daddy of the decade. it hurts me everyday but I'm full of animosity towards he and me speaking to him won't solve the problems. he will never respect me as a man because i won't live the way he says. fuck conformity. you think I'm a a bad father, whatev. i run this home. people tell me "he your pops. just deal with it" y should i lie to myself to save face for people that don't care about me or my kids. in two years he ain't called to check on his grand kids or nothing. it hurts me to see pics of him and my sisters' kids. it hurts because he doesn't want to know them. my kids are fucking awesome. but no one cares but me and their mother. we're truly alone in this world. i mean i did some crazy shit as a kid but i was a child. will he hate me forever? dads are supposed to be that rock you can always count on. this ninja treat me like he ain't spit me out at all. and I'm saying all this cause it hurts. i mean i don't have a mother to get comfort from. she died a long time ago. i wonder if my dad would be like this if my mom was alive. w/o her he has no reciprocity. he is content w/ his new family. but the real underlying truth is I'm a coward because i can tell the whole world this shit via twitter, but cant/wont say ish to him. that shit makes me wanna cry but crying is so un-Sleaze like. I'm gonna need psychiatric help before it's all over.

"you know you dead, when this is the best picture I can find of you on the interwebs." -Sleaze

PEEP THE ILL EMAIL I RECEIVED THIS MORNING!!

Sources report that early Thursday morning rapper Magoo, real name Melvin Barcliff, was found dead in a hotel room in Portsmouth, Va. Hotel owners said that they checked in "Magoo" two days ago and hadn't heard anything from the resident since the check-in. The cause of death has not been determined. Surrounding the rapper was an MP3 player and a notebook. Writing within the tablet, showed the derangement of a musician, disillusioned by the industry that had "chewed him up and spit him out". Police were called because a hotel associate stumbled upon an unconscious man inside the room. The rapper was believed to be visiting Virginia for a recording session, though he had not had a record out in quite some time. More details to follow.

Damn, What a waste of a good beats. Although it says he died this morning, he died in my eyes after his verse on this song.

The Ocarina of Rhyme in 10 Days!!

Wsup friends?! Yep, you guessed it. Ocarina of Rhyme time...Just ten days until I release my first mixtape in over 5 years! It pays excellent homage to the master conductors over at Nintendo, and the one & only Link. On the mixtape, I talk about all issues including: the current state of hip-hop, growing up hard, and remaining fresh in a world full of negativity and boredom. The central themes of this mixtape circulate around the imaginary life of Link and the parallels we share. Check the official tracklist below!

1. Intro
2. Theme Song
3. A Link To The Past
4. The Legend Of Sleaze

Dig Deep is upon us...

It's here peoples!! My man Just Plain Ant celebrates the release of his second full-length album Dig Deep. An impressive effort to say the very least. Ant's passion for the music he creates really shines through on this. I'm so happy to be a part of this project because Ant and I share a lot of the same feelings about music in general. So here it is folks...The link is below....


Just Plain Ant - Dig Deep

For the slow folks (j/p), I will put the direct links up too.

Hey Young World

Wsup folks? I can't believe it is February already. '09 has started off like a rollercoaster and we are already on the second turn. I'm highly anticipating the release of my friend Just Plain Ant's sophomore release Dig Deep. I am featured on that project and it definitely is a pleasure to rhyme over Ant's smoove beats. Like I told him, I highly dislike using other producer's beats, seeing that I make 'em and I am trying to get recognition for them. But Ant's beats be dope enough to throw my reservations to the side. The name of the track is "AntiLove" and you can listen ((here)), at my other spot.

I have recorded a lot more tracks in the past few days. I am prepping The Ocarina of Rhyme for a late-March/ early-April release. The first single is "Code Link" and you can hear it ((here)) or ((here)). I think it's one of the doper tracks on the mixtape. But you be the judge. Well, it's time to do some homework. Keep checking on your boy. I'm making noise!

Dear Black People

I love this video.
