Don Hill’s “Get Ya Buzz Up” Showcase 7/28

This was my first show since Michael Jackson passed, so I felt like in tribute to the greatest showman of all time I had to put on an incredible show last night. Check out an as yet unreleased joint from Off The Wall E009 “Life Like This” below also. Thanks to MADonly.com

ESSO – Girlfriend (Off The Wall E009)

OTWE009 Final Front

We’re less than 3 weeks away from the official release of Off The Wall (August 10th)!!! this is one of my favorite songs from the project and probably the one that bothered me the most to listen to after Mike passed because of how much I love the original and how crazy it was for me to hear our voices together on the record… Based on a true story, the names have been withheld to protect the innocent (and the guilty haha)

Shouts to everyone I ran into out there, way too many to name, but eventually I’ll try and name them all. And of course shouts to the man of the evening Dallas Penn, king of the Internets. Did Dallas come up with the word internets?

Why Despicable E?

I aint gonna lie, I check comments on blogs sometimes, and more often than not, I feel like the motives behind certain things that I may do get misunderstood. I even saw something said about this track that said that this isnt a race to be the first person to record over this track…

Nah you’re right, it’s not about that at all, but I’ve had a lot of things goin on around me recently that have kinda made me feel like I’m the bad guy no matter how good my intentions may be. So when I heard the track that Pharrell did for the soundtrack to the movie, it kinda perfectly matched how I was feeling at the time.

From the impending controversy with my Off The Wall project to the fact that I’m not trying to follow the mold of a “traditional” New York artist, to the fact that tryin to be successful takes me away from my family all the time…all of these things were on my mind, and I tried to put that all together in a way that was pretty easily digestible but still has some gems in there for those of you who like your verses to have some shit tucked away like easter eggs.

Do I apologize for it? NOPE. Do I give a fuck if it’s misunderstood? NOPE. Despicable Me. Fuck it.

Picture 6

Just happened to get the heads up about this last night from the homies at Subconcious Threads. They told me that Raekwon The Chef one of the original 9 members of Wu-Tang is a big fan of the Y&I tee that I designed with them, and asked for the shirt in each color. Peep him rockin the Cranberry in this Youtube video where he talks about Only Built 4 Cuban Linx II

RapMullet.com Reviews Lifestyles of the Young & Ignorant (3.5/4 Tapes)

Picture 2

Every time I put out a project, from the very beginning of my career, RapMullet.com has been one of the places that I turn to for unbiased, brutally honest, “we’re not sugarcoating shit for you” critique and review of my music. One of the things that I pride myself on is striving towards getting a perfect rating (4 of 4 tapes). So far before the Lifestyles of the Young & Ignorant EP review, I had 3 projects that were each rated 3.5/4. But y’all already know the tattoo, “Great is Not Good Enough” so I want that 4.

Hit the jump to see what the EP was rated as well as what RapMullet had to say about it. Shouts to Chew & Dimez
