HEY THERE BLOG PEOPLE

Since myspace is dead and facebook makes posting music for a young, unestablished, lad like myself a pain in the ass, I'm starting this blog to keep people up to date on what's going on in my world and the world of some of my close friends and companions. It's going to focus mostly on music, but I will also throw in other things related to Hip Hop culture and our beautiful little scene here in the Pacific Northwest.

To kick things off, the release party for my debut LP, Hero(in) Music, was last Friday at the Anchor Pub in Everett, WA.. and it was fucking aweeeesome!! It went 100x's better then I ever would have imagined. Lots of good friends came out to support and all of the artists killed it. I will have pictures up here soon and hopefully a little treat in the form of a live recording sometime in the coming weeks. Big time thank yous to everybody that helped make it possible; to all of the artists, Auraswon, Nocturnal, Moth1ne & DJ Corndogg, to Moshae for holdin down the DJ duties all night, to the homie Ellsnorth for playing drums with me, to the Anchor Pub for supplying the venue, and an extra special enormous thank you hug goes out to my man Madshroom MC for holdin down the hosting duties, performing, and for just generally keeping fools in check and making sure things run smoothly! It couldn't have been as dope as it was without all of you so thanks!

For those of you that couldn't make it to the release party, or didn't have the baller status 5 dollars it cost to buy the record, it is now available on iTunes, CDbaby and at both the Northgate and Seattle Silver Platters locations. I'm working on getting it into Easy Street, but for now you'll have to settle for one of these other fine distribution outlets.

As a little treat in celebration of the new blog and the new record, I'm going to post a free download of the first two songs off the record. "If Jesus was an Addict" and the first single, "Intoxicated". Find them below! Get em while they're hot! Spread the love! Tell your friends! FREE downloads!

If for some reason the download links are not working, holler in the comments and I will fix it.

Thanks for coming through. I'm going to try and post updates at least once a week, maybe more if there is a lot going on. I am very new to this so please be a little patience with me as I iron out a few of the wrinkles. Hopefully this grows to be a good source of news, entertainment and updates for all of the Slanted Room/Black Magic Noize family members/friends & fans out there. That's the plan!
