Its been a short time since I’ve written an update. As the summer approaches, I have several projects and endeavors that are underway. Some shall remain secret until the proper time but I will give you just a taste.

-Touring and promotion for “The Visualization” will continue as the momentum and word of mouth only gets stronger. Videos to soon drop.

-Recording and finalizing of Dr. Dre themed mixtape tentatively titled “Slow Burn”.

-Recording and finalizing of rock themed mash up titled “The VS Project”.

-Recording and finalizing my second L.P. titled “Then Our Eyes Became Used to the Darkness”. Returning are super line up of producers Dark Half, E. Green, Spanish Jose, and myself, with new addition D.C. SoulPlusMInd. Guest artists include Wordsworth, 9th Prince, AKIR, Spanish Jose, Vision, Anti-Social and others to be announced. Expect more of that dark, gritty, introspective, passionate music.

-New designs/line of AR.change.L merch to be available. I am very excited as I have invested much time, sweat, and creativity into this project.

-Guest spot on 9th Prince’s forthcoming album.

-Guest spot on new mixtape by DJ Davito.

Brace yourself. The storm is brewing.

“Long is the way and hard that out of hell leads up to light.-Milton”

Mickey Factz continues to put music out that is left of the mainstream. He’s got flow and lyrics and chooses interesting topics to rhyme about, and his mixtapes definitely distinguish themselves amongst the millions of Lil’ Wayne’s and Gucci Mane’s. I like it. Not every song is a single, so to speak, but thats not what he seems to be about. It is experimental music but still accessible, which is difficult to pull off. He gets an official cosign from me.

I like the Black Keys. With previous projects featuring co-production by Danger Mouse, they had already flirted with the hip hop world before. Their current project titled BlakRoc was spearheaded and helped organized by Dame Dash. This album gets a huge cosign from me. The music is great, the cast of emcees are a good and sometimes an unexpected mesh, to include: Mos Def, Pharoahe Monch, Jim Jones, Raekwon, Q-Tip, RZA, Ludacris, O.D.B., Billy Danze (M.O.P.), singer Nikki Wray, and a newcomer MC by the name of NOE (who sounds exactly like Jay-Z :-/ ). The heavy bluesy vibe mixes well with smokey rhymes to create one of the best CD’s I’ve heard in a while. They have put up webisodes of each studio session for each track at www.blakroc.com. After watching them I was all the more attatched to the music.

Here is the webisode for Hoochie Coo with Mos Def and Jim Jones (Jones definitely surprised me on this project).

Just a reminder that the name is ART Rhymes Change Life. For this, I feel compelled to include things I find impressive, creative, and just plain crazy from the art side of things. This is a collaborative animation by artists David Ellis and Blu. I don’t know exactly how these dudes pulled this off, but I was dumbfounded and in awe after watching this vid. Just know that it loops twice. Watch and Enjoy.
