FORGOT - PICS from our FINAL FRIDAY .......

Were featured on the Dallas Observer site. Thanks to Gloria "GLO" Levario for all of the great pics and using our pics on the site. GO GLO. LOL.

What is up.........

Well enjoyed my birthday very much. Went out to Brooklyns, had a party at the house and made a "CLASSIC"-"HIT"-"RADIO READY", R&B song in the studio.

I've been on the grind doing more GRAMMY events, preparing for the DeSoto Hip Hop Summit, performing at Final Fridays & the Lounge as well as up-coming shows at Palm Beach, handling paperwork by registering my radio singles with BMI, BDS & Mediabase.

Things are kicking into gear with the promotion of my album, alot of networking opps have came about and just movement period.

ME IN THE NEWS

So I've been sick for the last few weeks but I'm good now. How about I'm reading the DFW Quick this morning - low & behold there is a WRITE-UP ON ME. Thanks to Delano Washington for giving me a plug in regards to my voting in this years' Grammy Awards (which because of my illness I had to miss but going to the other events surrounding it has been fun) and he plugged my up-coming album, N.O.W. (No Otha Will). Its a small article but it's a start to really promoting myself and my project. Lets see what's next for ya Boy.

N.O.W. - THE ALBUM IS DONE

Yes, after all my talking and planning and updates - ITS DONE. All tracks are recorded, mixed & mastered. I did all of the lead and background vocals with the exception of having Big XL, Madame Ice & my cousin Roshada Taylor doing some backgrounds on a couple of songs. I wrote all of the tracks , produced half of them and helped mix all of them. I'm really proud of the work that me and Dano (co-producer/engineer) put into this album.

Staying Busy...

Look at me staying on top of this blog thang for a change. Man I'm tired but loving having too many things going on at one time.

I've been invited to help coordinate the 2009 "I Got Soul" Conference & the 6th Annual DeSoto Hip Hop Summit - I'm bringing my Grammy affiliation to help boost the education & public presence of both events.

Looks like my travel plans are filling up - Feb (Grammy Awards & Twista's Official After Party (Los Angeles,Ca), Grammy Chapter Office (Austin,TX)), March (19th Annual Urban Network Music-Entertainment & Marketing Summit (Industry Hills,CA)), April (Grammy U Summit (Austin, TX), May (One Stop Shop - Producers Conference (Phoenix,AZ)) & July (Katt Williams Celebrity Basketball Game (USC - Los Angeles,CA)). I'm expecting a few more events to pop up in between these dates - WHY IS CALIFORNIA LIKE MY TOP TRAVEL PLACE RIGHT NOW. Big ups to Hunnid Racks for putting me on to these events - that's what a great sponsor is supposed to do folks.

Just keeping ya'll up-to-date on things.................wait MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT NEXT.
