Peep my freshness so rested.

I'm feeling good. Back from a nice break which included a few parties, and a few shows. We did the damn thing at republic this weekend(shoutout to Flex!) 20 in the 21+. Its cool though, my birthday is a month away, may is gonna be crazy. I got a few shows coming up, I plan on shutting those down, (WE GOT FLO-RIDA TICKETS!!!) I've been recording alot of new material lately and the stuff is sick. I'm excited to share it with you guys but you still gotta wait a little longer. I have a interview up in Urbansteez that asks some new questions I haven't heard. I took this picture while I was helping my grandmother put her art show together, she does like sculpture and digital photo art. Its dope stuff, I saw one of these figures outside the building and thought is looked sick. We're getting ready to do some pretty amazing stuff, I'm just excited about the future.

Estelle on racism in the U.K


“I’m not mad at them, but I’m wondering - how the hell is there not a single black person in the press singing soul? Adele ain’t soul. She sounds like she heard some Aretha records once, and she’s got a deeper voice - that don’t mean she’s soul. That don’t mean nothing to me in the grand scheme of my life as a black person. As a songwriter, I get what they do. As a black person, I’m like: you’re telling me this is my music? Fuck that!” [READ MORE]

Dope. Need the time?

Nowhere and Back.......

So, we get to this gas station in the middle of nowhere, we're leaving from Flow's crib in missouri(shout out to mama flow, thanx for having us) with no CD of good music on it. Destination: Carbondale and then back to chicago. We were wrapping up our short trip to SIU to do the players ball. Thanks to everyone who came out and waddown to everyone we met out there. Tocarra was fine as hell shouting out Flyy City.

SHOW STAGE DURING SOUND CHECK

Hit up the mall, kicked it with Jay's sister, got stuuuupid fucked up and balled at the ball. (Shoutout to stretch mayne) then we ran into some Vultures on the way to nowhere and had to turn around. Along the way we pulled into this gas station and laughed at this gas pump. yea. good times. I'm so sick of trees now. Lol

Listening to: Lupe Fiasco "Gold Watch"

Always some bullshit in the good life


A Maryland songwriter-producer is suing Kanye West claiming that the hip-hop star used his tune, "Volume of Good Life," for the chart-topping single, "Good Life," without permission or giving credit.

In the lawsuit filed in Maryland District Court, Dayna Staggs (aka D'Mystro) names West and his label Roc-A-Fella Records for copyright infringement, claiming the artist didn't obtain a license to use his song, according toTMZ.

D'Mystro said he's also offended that Kanye's rendition of the record "contains vulgar and offensive" images and "harms the reputation" of his much cleaner original, which he claims was written when West was only six or seven years old.

He's asking for 85% of all world sales from the music.

85%!?! DAMN!

THE LISTENING EXPERIENCE


GOOD MORNING 2001 from kwest on Vimeo.



GRADUATION ALBUM LISTENING EXPERIENCE VIDEOS PT.2 - AKIRA CUT TO STRONGER from kwest on Vimeo.



GRADUATION ALBUM LISTENING EXPERIENCE PT. 3 - I WONDER from kwest on Vimeo.



GRADUATION ALBUM LISTENING EXPERIENCE PT. 4 - BARRY BONDS from kwest on Vimeo.
Let me start with this. This is DOPE. Kanye and Derrick Lee (the editor from Flashing Lights) created 7 of these "Listening Experience" videos to each of Kanye's songs off of Graduation. Its a dope concept of instead of matching songs with a regular have the visual be an experience like a movie score. Flashing Lights makes more and more sense as I think about this but. Check these out, I'll drop more as they come along. I repeat, Dope.

The Drought is Over...

This is cover for the final mixtape in "The Drought" series. I'm not the only one who feels that Lil Wayne is the definitive mixtape artist and "The Drought" series especially 3, has helped lift dude to stardom. Sadly......the 5th tape represents the last, with Wayne calling it his grand closing. I guess since "The Carter 3" is actually about to come out Wayne is calling it quits on the mixtape game for a while. Smart move. So far none of the joints I heard seem special so I'l post one that I like when I like one. Yesssir.

HAHAHA!!! FORREAL!

"Hip Hop saved a life" VID!!!

This is my favorite song off of "The Cool." The record is symbolic to every MC, Producer, DJ, basically any kid from the Hip Hop generation because when that hook drops we all feel that shit. The story could be any of us in a different city, I extra dig this record. Yesssir.

P.S: Second single. Perfect.

Shoulda been the first single.!!!!........"A milli"

Cloud 12 with the ocean view of 9..........


Thats my city rite there. Feel like Leo in the titanic "I'm on top of the wooooorld!!" Hopefully that analogy stops there. We celebrated Jay's birthday all week(21 in this bitch, me and T got a few months mayne) But, hand in hand with that celebration we suffered some icebergs along the way. That's life though, sometimes you floating along fine feeling brand new, next second your looking for a lifeboat wondering how the hell your got there in the first place. Its what you do during these moments that show who you are. I've had times I felt lower then low and times that I felt higher then high(this blunt has nothing to do with it. lol) But surviving those low moments help me enjoy the high ones. Like right then, we we're in this flyy ass pad with a full view of the city just chilling before the party started. Traxxion came through with some jalepenio poppers, and me and Flow and Srowe proceeded to meet some interesting people over a bowl. Green brings people together mayne. lol. Personal goal, (cop a similar spot before 25) lets see if I can pull it off. Hopefully the icebergs aren't too big.....ok.....no more titanic metaphors. High Life.

"Joy Ride concert"


First of all, yea the picture is terrible, but I feel like the "realisim" in the quality of my photos makes it all the more actual. Lmao. Actually this is the best shot I could get of Flow and JV killing it on stage. The concert was put together at the dusable museum to showcase some of chicago's best. Problem was, location, transportation, promotion, ect.... It was straight though, still did the thing and obviously Flow shut it down. The lights looked so raw while she was performing. Extra official. Sidenote: Ok JV, ok. lol.

Where the sidewalk ends.....



There is a place where the sidewalk ends
And before the street begins,
And there the grass grows soft and white,
And there the sun burns crimson bright,
And there the moon-bird rests from his flight
To cool in the peppermint wind.

Let us leave this place where the smoke blows black
And the dark street winds and bends.
Past the pits where the asphalt flowers grow
We shall walk with a walk that is measured and slow,
And watch where the chalk-white arrows go
To the place where the sidewalk ends.

Yes we'll walk with a walk that is measured and slow,
And we'll go where the chalk-white arrows go,
For the children, they mark, and the children, they know
The place where the sidewalk ends.

Its amazing to see how much one person can affect so many. Every time I look up someone else is noticing an absence. The place we all grew up at was one that everybody knew everybody. So its no wonder that everyone feels something about you not being here no more man. I pray for you and your loved ones my dude. Too soon.

This is dope moment #199. Lol. I was in S11 yesterday recording some tracks and one of em has like this smooth ass vibe behind it. It feels like its a sample, but its actually all played out (Shout out to DA) Everything about the track is so layed back but I felt like something could be done to take it to another level. Luckily, my engineer is a guitar player, and happened to love the record. He volunteered to play over the track and killed it! I mean, killed it! I'm so excited about returning and finishing the record (you guys'll hear it eventually, promise.) But yea, that's Steve fine tuning his guitar and finding the chords. Yessir.

Russel Simmons supports Obama. Me dos sir, Me dos.




Today I am announcing my personal endorsement of Senator Barack Obama for President of the United States. During the last nine months, I have closely observed the presidential campaigns, analyzed the issues and platforms of the major candidates, and have had substantive discussions with Senator Clinton and Senator Obama. From the sidelines of the primaries and debates, I have been particularly inspired by the fact that Senator Obama has built an unprecedented, national movement comprised of people from all ethnic, racial, political, social and economic backgrounds.

In particular, the response to Obama by young voters across America continues to be monumental. Obama's leadership, passion and demand for a change resonates effectively with the aspirations of millions of people who want a better quality of life. This is truly a transcendent and historic moment in American politics and I am obligated not to remain on the sidelines.

Although I have great respect for the accomplishments of Senator Clinton and I have personally worked with Senator Clinton successfully on issues concerning education, prison reform and poverty, I am now compelled by my own personal conscience to publicly state, "I support and endorse Barack Obama for President."

As the Chairman of the non-partisan, nonprofit The Foundation for Ethnic Understanding, it is my personal opinion that Senator Obama's campaign for President has and will continue to transcend race in America and have a profound positive impact on the very issues I have been fighting for my whole life. Many of you know my work as Chairman of the non-partisan, nonprofit Hip-Hop Summit Action Network. Hip-Hop as a cultural phenomenon is also about transformation and taking action to end poverty, war and ignorance. While I am endorsing Senator Obama as a private citizen, I am in complete solidarity with the transformative consciousness of the growing number artists and young people from the hip-hop generation that are overwhelmingly supporting Obama.

Life in season 6........

So I'm stuck in night traffic in a cab and I'm feeling like the driver is going slow on purpose. I'm in a rush trying to make it to a party. I get there, chill. Good night. Day 2, I have a party in 5 hours high as hell with no worries and its 50 something degrees outside.(If you live in the chi, you already know what it is) I just keep looking forward as I find life looks better facing this direction. Surrounded by fam celebrating another day alive and knowing we made it through another winter. We're free in the door, under 21 with a shot, Flow talking bout kush while we waiting on a wackass soundcheck @ a dope ass spot. Fresh cut, ladies all day and night, clean clothes and knowing your week may be 5x better then the last.. Is this season 6?
