"Hova Song"

This is one of my alltime favorite Jay-z Intros/Outros ever. The second verse which some of you might not have heard is an interlude that was on international releases. This is off Vol III, which is one of my favorite Jay albums. You could hear the cockiness in the flow. NO rapper could fuck with Hov at this point (unless you wanna count X who was making major noise). He was fresh off the Hard Knock Life Tour and a 5 million selling "Vol II: Hard Knock Life" that made him a household name.

Philandering and Debauchery

So....

It wouldnt be a summer without some Caribbean shit poppin off....you know....that good ole' Brooklyn bashment ambiance where there's Heinekens/Guiness Stout, jerk chicken on the grill and fine women for you to poly with.

Unnun done know seh me a Jamaican suh mi haffi tell unnu bout how we gwann when we deh ah bashment (Translation: Ya'll know that I'm Jamaican so I gotta tell ya'll how we get down)

I personally LOVE going to Moomia Lounge because I love "daggerin" (being the initiator NH). DJ Will Gates know how to DJ....dude is a beast on the 1s and 2s. The other events I go to in the week are usually more relaxed on some networking/chill/industry shit. If you dont know what "daggerin" is, parties aint for you. It's crazy but I havent partied on a Saturday in ages so.....

Sound di big ting dem!!!!

Vybez Kartel and Spice, "Rampin Shop". Unnu know seh di ah BIG tune. This song is NOT meant to be censored. It's not a "daggerin" song (per se) but it is what it is.

Aidonia, "100 Stab". Use your imagination.

Busy Signal, "Up In Her Belly". I FUCKS with this song heavy. It just is raw and takes me back to when we were in Africa on some tribal dancing shit.

Ladies, I must say.....I know some of ya'll just wanna chill out when you go out and such....but if you're on the floor when these songs come on, expect someone to come behind you. Sorry.

Air Penny II

I NEED THESE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I havent bought a pair of kix in a while so here goes my next purchase. I deserve/need a 2 month late Bday present anyway. Rumor is the good people at Nike are sorta making it a Quickstrike release where stores only get 12 pairs each. I'm a fan of this Penny shoe so these will be added. Size 10. Holla @ me

Regular S#!t

Sup ya'll!

Well, I must say that this has shaped up to being one of the most interesting summers I've had in a while.

From meeting new people to partying my ass off to bugging out on Twitter ( @IGetsBusy514 ) to working/meeting new clients, it's going by pretty smoothly.

I feel like I've been neglecting the blog, but to my viewers, I'm more entertaining if you follow me on Twitter. Trust me. I havent considered deading the blog. I just need to find content (if/when I'm in the crib) to update it. I just have been out so much lately so there you have it.........

Went to a DOPE Bring Your Own Blogger BBQ last night hosted @ PNC Studios where we held the MBTM Summit. There was alcohol, food, networking and beautiful women. I didnt drink anything but some spiked Snapple (didnt even know it was spiked). It was a VERY dope event with some bloggers coming through as well as Charles Hamilton and Miss Info. It's like a secret society..................

Shoutouts to the Cornerstone fam as well.........

Pics Are Not Worth 1K Words

I'm regular. I'm a 23 year old who likes sports, kicks, clothes, music and women. I also happen to do my thing. I'm from Brooklyn with a Jamaican background. I'm always in some shit and I like that because I get bored easily. I'm just a normal dude...

So when i go places and people hit me up like "Yo, I heard you were doing your thing, How could I get down?"...i sorta get turned off.

• Ya'll dont "know" me. A lotta people just see my random ass tweets or saw that I've been in the "industry" at some spots. At least ask me to see if what you think of me is true and adjust accordingly.
• If you're interested in something, the next step is to research it. Why was i interested in Sony (my first stint ever)? Well, I've always had a love for music and wanted to "feel" my way around and get my foot in the door how I could. I then began to research Sony and relevant music sites etc...my point is research.
• I LOVE networking and meeting new people. I also make it a point not to shit on anyone because i believe you never know where people can/will end up.

At the same time, you have to learn to approach people on some "real" shit. Not begging. Not dickriding. Not fiending. Just regular. People are used to being sweated all day long and when you appeal to their ego....they know there's usually an ulterior motive behind it.

I was @ a BBQ this weekend and a friend mentioned I do what I do and this dude who was ZOOTED just was trying to ask me all these questions about my company and shit. I was cordial about it and I dont knock anyone who smokes (as long as it doesnt interfere with their productivity) but it just didnt look good.

I got people telling me "Yo, I need to get down with ya'll"....with no one getting back about setting up an meeting where we all can feel each other out. I've been told I'm very perceptive of people. i'm the type to just size people up. I'll walk in a room, see the nearest exits and just scan faces.

So, people see the pics and shit of us @ parties and think it's something sweet. They dont see the real work it takes to run your own business and to do certain things.

I could care less usually, but I just wanted to vent.

The Whirlwind....

So lately I aint been updating my blog because:

• I've been bored with it
• I've been out the crib
• Indifference

So here goes the recap for the past few days....

• I got about 6 hours of sleep total for this weekend. Between working and party-hopping my ass off, I was just out my crib a lot. It's summertime and I knew it was gonna be epic. We BBQ hopped our ass off.
• I've been laying low Just chillin...enjoying the weather and going out. Seems like The Fader has an event like 3 times a week so I'm usually there...
• Regular shit....
• Started my last class of my college career today. It's an Ecology class. I'm not really looking forward to it or am really interested but it doesnt seem too out there or anything like that. The lab is from 2:30-5 and the Lecture is from 5:50-6:45...shouldnt be too bad at all. I just hated it because I gotta readjust my schedule now because of it. It's a new challenge so bring it on.
• I missed a female interest of mines' cocktail party becuase I was stuck @ work on Friday. Fuck My Life. Majorly as well.
