Aside from that... just playing catch up in the studio a bit. Finishing off some mixes, recording new clients and working a bit on my own personal material.
Also... I'm very excited to show off my new logos! They are finished but I've yet to receive them in their final format so just hang tight. And the main bulk of www.GiantStarProductions.com is nearly done. Very excited for this site to be up and running and it will be shortly!
As always - thanks for the ear and stay tuned!

Giant Star Records Official Website - Click me... Thanx!
Hello Moto!
So yeah the past couple weeks were awesome!
Giant Star Records was proud to sponsor Snak The Ripper
featuring my good friends Conscience aka Brandon, Brody and Lyndsay Johnston...
Then I sponsored the Sweatshop Union show...
featuring Alberta rap hero Deezus
Then I sponsored King of the Dot World Domination 2 (Alberta) where the current KOTD Champ, Sketch Menace, set up some of the craziest and FUNNIEST emcee battles in this division yet!
SMP was flown in from Cornwall, Ontario Canada for the event.
Charron was flown in from Ottawa.
Emotionz and DJ AllGood were both flown in from Vancouver, BC.
And F.L.O. was flown in from Oakland, California USA. (Customs was a BITCH!)
Incredible battles! They'll be online to view soon on KOTD's Official Youtube channel...
^ Be sure to subscribe cuz you'll see yours truly judging the Alberta battles as well as being mentioned in... like... EVERY rapper in Calgary's rhymes! It's my horn... and I'll toot if I want to... toot if I want to...
ALSO... I had the pleasure to meet arguably the most well known Canadian rapper... of all time... Choclair! Super, extra humble and we plan on doing business in the future.
Please check him out right below and brush up on some of his accomplishments
Choclair Wikipedia
Also met up and coming emcee Peter Jackson
As for the studio I've been working closely with AON on his mixtape. Still have a few mixes left to do but it should all be wrapped up 100% by the end of August. Check out his vlog here
I've recorded his entire mixtape and am about halfway through mixing it all down. He has lots of tracks on Youtube that Giant Star Records has been a part of. Very talented dude. It's... the ego.
There are 3 KOTD events coming up. One will be in Lethbridge... one in Red Deer and one in Calgary. I hope to be sponsoring and attending all three!
Oh yeah... please visit Giant Star Records Official Website for a brandy new intro track recorded and mixed for the brandy new KOTD Red Deer division. Done by yours truly... Krumbalumpkins.
That's it for now... more updates soon on the production website. It's slowly shaping up! And new logo coming REAL soon!
Thank you SOOOO much for subscribing and being a part of this... it's so cliche to say it but... movement. Means... a LOT to me.
Cheers!

Hey all! So first things first. I was both happy and proud to sponsor and donate 4 hours of recording time to the Music For a Cure event this past friday at The Belfry Gastro House. The Belfry Gastro House is such a nice venue and we raised over $1,250 for The Cancer Foundation. Although the turn out was just okay it was still a lot of fun and all for a great cause.
In other news... I've added 4 of the best Hip Hop producers to the Giant Star roster!
- Makemdef, originally from Vancouver, creates some of the most soulful beats around!
- White Lotus is an official affiliate of the Wu Tang Clan and has been supplying those grimey bangers to fiends all over the globe.
- Dragon is one of the coolest guys around and his beats are full of... epicness??? lol Yeah that's a word.
- Loop Hole is already on the map with doing tracks for Moka Only and brings a unique flavor to this already outstanding cast of talented producers.
I already have a few of Makemdef's beats up on my site at www.GiantStarRecords.com
Be sure to have a listen!
I'm in the process of launching a super professional website that will be showcasing these individuals beats. It will launch under the name of www.GiantStarProductions.com sometime this summer.
Also... my official logo has been revamped and is almost ready to go! It will most likely be revealed with the launch of www.GiantStarProductions.com It's a very, VERY nice logo and I look forward to sharing it with you all! Please visit,Northanomix, my webdesigners page to see just how talented they are at what they do!
New event sponsorship on July 8th featuring Snak The Ripper and my boys from Vancouver - Conscience. First time I'll be sponsoring one of their events and I'm super excited to be a part of it!
More announcements soon! Thanx for the ear!
PS What's up with the riots in Vancouver??? Over a hockey game???
Really? It's not THAT serious guys.

"Success Comes in Teaspoons"...
I don't know... I made that quote up just now! Kinda makes sense I guess. lol
So I've been quite busy the past two - three weeks. Lots of show sponsorships - which lead to lots of new clients! New clients from Sasha and Kirsten Collins (incredible RnB/Pop artists) to Matt Daley, Miracle and AON. (All very dope emcees)!
I handed out an award to New L for his "breakthrough performance" at a previous KOTD event and awarded Matt Daley with 4 hours free recording time for winning DJ Ambideckstress's "Battle Tactics" Emcee Battle event! Well deserved!
Also one of my clients, Gon Gotti, released his official video featuring rap superstar Masspike Miles called "No Talking". Recorded and mixed by yours truly! It's a VERY gangsta Hip Hop record but if you're into that - have a listen at...
http://youtu.be/_FH-gL0Mum4
I've also been working with a new artist named Jay Fletch - who is sure to turn some heads when he drops some of his newer material! Also look out for Hidden Elements and their new track "Thunder" and the "Branch". Lots of work with them coming up!
I'll be sponsoring The Alcohaulics show in Calgary in July as well as Sweatshop Union and RA The Rugged Man. Also the Fatlip show too!
Giant Star Records will also be sponsoring the next "Ground Zero" KOTD event in Calgary and possibly the "Ground Zero" event in Red Deer as well. These events have been very successful and the underground Hip Hop scene in Calgary is growing VERY fast these days!
I also redid some parts of my website - from the new rates to the client list as well as posted up lots of new audio mixes that have been approved by the clients!
Please visit www.GiantStarRecords.com to see and hear... some of the new stuff I've been working on.
Oh and for the month of May I have a SUPER SPECIAL recording package deal! Four hours of recording time for... $100!!! That's ONLY $25 per hour!!! That's beyond affordable!
More news soon! Thanx for listening though!
:)
