Yeah yeah yeah... I know...

What can I say? I've been REALLY busy lately! Had my family from Jersey up for a week and I'm just getting back to normal.

Let's see...
I recorded and mixed a new track called "Thunder" with the Hidden Elementz.
I also have them back in the studio tomorrow recording some new material.
I also recorded two new tracks with Cane and J. Pesos. I should be mixing those tracks down within the next two weeks.
Yesterday, Tuesday, I recorded 3 new tracks for Don Castro. He's a great example of talent from Calgary.
I have the Hidden Elementz tomorrow then Castro again on Thursday. (Then mixing two tracks on Friday).
Also I rewarded the KOTD studio package to New L... an up and coming emcee out of Calgary. Great kid and lots of potential! You can check his new song @ www.GiantStarRecords.com
Also be sure to check out www.AbelsPhotography.com (Click the title of this blog!)
My brother owns and operates that site and is just such a great and unique photographer! Love that kid!

April will be my BUSIEST month yet! Giant Star Records is sponsoring 3 separate events this month alone! I will also be an honorary judge at the next KOTD on April 23rd! That event is going to be MASSIVE! They are flying in some BIG name rappers to not only host it but compete as well!

More on that to come though!

The clients keep piling up! Let's see how April and May go. I'm excited. You should be too! Or not. It's cool! lol

Til next week! (I promise!)

Ciao <--- Not really sure how to spell that tbh. smh. lmfao! <--- wtf???

I'm Eating Swiss Cheese Meatballs!

Great week! First I'd like everyone to visit one of my newer clients website. Link is above. (Click the title of the blog and you'll link to it!). He is a motivational speaker named Kerry Girling and has really exciting plans for the near future! He and I recorded for the first time and I'm really diggin' his vibes. Great dude! We'll definitely be working together again in the future.

Second - Giant Star Records is now an official sponsor of KOTD and the first event went incredibly well! Lots of great artists and emcee's and was just a blast to be a part of. April 23rd is the next event and that one will be even more impressive! Lots of new clients and contacts were made at the last one.

Congratulations to New'L who has an impressive performance! He won the Giant Star single/song package! A $325 value for free! He's such a great kid and can't wait to get working with him!

This week, business wise, will be slow as I've only booked clients for two days. Tuesday I'll be recording a beatboxer named Ominous and Friday I'll be mixing down one of Gon Gotti's final tracks for his album.

The reason for the slow week is that my family will be in town! My Pops, my brother and my niece, Tori. Very excited to see them and spend some time with them!

Also... I have some VERY special news on its way and want so bad to share it with everyone but... I just can't. Yet. I have... plans! ::rubs hands together evilly::

Til' next week french fries!

Heyyy Youuu Guyssss! (Do the Truffle Shuffle!)

What's up villains and superheroes!

So I finished up some mixing on some of my personal tracks over the weekend!
Have clients booked Monday and Wednesday and some mixing to do on Thursday and Friday.
Tuesday I'll be doing some personal recording for this contest that I'm in so I'm excited about that!
Then on Friday I'll be attending the GZA show (From Wu-tang) and networking there.
Saturday is the KOTD emcee battle which I'm co-hosting and looks like it's going to be crazy fun!
Really excited to be an official sponsor of KOTD!
