U-N-I feat. H.O.P.E. & Shawn Jackson - "Cali Soul"

This is how serious it gets during A Love Supreme/Before There Was Love sessions. U-N-I manager Chris London goes above and beyond his job description with his 4 minutes of continuous head-knodding — and I don't blame him...this track is bananas. Dibiase is a monster. I had to overlay the mastered track for fidelity. Download below.

Just some downtime from last night's session which had me coming home at 5am — those boys are tireless workers. Got some quality, quality stuff done though; stay tuned for the prelude mixtape to A Love Supreme entitled Before There Was Love dropping sometime in January (yessir, I'm on it as the dude playing the dude disguised as another dude). They have a track on there produced by Dibiase (who also produced "A Beautiful Day") that damn near ripped the wallpaper off the studio.

The Process

A recent studio sesh with Rokwell, recording "The Proposal". This is the process ya'll.

English Please

Looking back at one of my overseas contracts, being that a considerable amount of it was in Kanji, I've come to realize that I could've fucked myself. They could have easily slipped in some absurd provision mandating that I provide handjobs to the entire population of Tokyo. Next time, I'll definitely have a lawyer do a once-over.

From old to new, here's an assorted mixture of hip-hop that I like and that has constructively affected my craft:
