the other girl in my video- Super dope Rhiannon
Heyyy
so its late and my parents are gone on vacation and I just walked my Dog at lke 1 am. Arnold as you know, is definitley a well-known fella since the “cellular phone” video, and many us know who the chick is with the tattoos.
Don’t sleep though, because there is a super fly and talented lady in the “doo doo” video that can’t be missed.
She chews bubble gum and has those sort of big pretty eyes (blinks coordinate on beat simultaneously with bubble gum popping) and she has a super fresh photography site.
I wanted to share you the video once more for your viewing pleasure.
shout out to MTV
I know you were thinking “who’s the bubble gum chewer with blonde hair…?”

“6 years today” BLOG- all awesome things insert here!
ok i got some time under my belt now, enough time to explain childhood. I made this fire joint to a mr green beat and its been a classic ever since. People know this song all over the world. Soon they will know my story.
Got clean years ago after running from police and doing stupid ol’ ish like hustling and drugs etc etc. Difference is I changed my life and this was one of the first songs to do it. People know every one of my words in this song.
I appreciate it. Today more and more awesome videos will be added to my ultimate 6 year blog! shout to c rayz and matisyahu
Belgium was fun…wanna see??
i hope you guys all see awesome things that happened in Belgium. THis was one of my most favorite shows I ever did in my life.
I love belgium
a lil update!
So i was at this party yesterday contemplating Life
Business.
Money.
work.
soul.location.
relationships.
This picture means that its time to have a good time. In the words of Rza if you’re not havinga good time, you are wasting your time.”
Its very true. Why not enjoy? Yesterday I had an ultimately shitty day that I can’t even remember why…Last night i saw Styles P play, DJ Premier, PEte ROck, and Kev Brown with Kaimbr from DC and Peter Rosenberg’s Birthday bash. Irt was on a boat. There was only 300 people there. Nice and intimate. An enjoyable experience. We hung out and ate celery sticks at Landsdown and i even sold a cd to Justool (who I met last night) for Trinidad and Tobago dollars. What a cool coinkydink?
Fot this reason, today was a studio day.
I’m in the booth on some amazing beats, including production from a local crew called Gifted Entertainment and super producer Shuko, who has made beats for everyone from Doujah Raze to Omarion to Lil Wayne.
I even sang today with a lil’ bit of soul. And i definitley have a song for the album I’m sure (or someone’s album)
i hope you are excited for the times to come.
World Points- the travelling Man wins to Travel- top 5 spots for me-TODAY
I called up my Credit Card today demanding I get refunded my late fee, which they exchange for a interest fee instead that is significantly lowered.
I have acquire 37,000 + points which entitles me to one domestic flight at 20,000 points. Therefore once I hit another 3,000 more points I can have two domestic flights, but I think I am waiting for the free flight to Israel which I totally will love.
IN times of amazing times (to travel) where are your top places to go?
1, Boulder Colorado.
Not only are the people interesting, the air is clean, the water is crisp, the girls are delish and the food is Dank (literally) I have gained so many awesome fans and friends here over the years and learned that this place has a special thing for inspiration in the art of writing rhymes.
2. San Francisco, CA
There is something in the air here that makes everything different. I’m not sure if its more of the fisherman’s wharf area and as far as tourist spots or the grimy ol’ underground bars we can play at. I did make out with a girl while staring at Alcatraz which was kinda creepy. It was kinda cool too.
3. Austin, Texas
I’d probably go here just for the people not during SXSW. I totally met awesome people here and the Texas sun reminds me of death, in a lively sort of way. Epoch coffee is to die for, and I adore seeing my homey sean every year during South By and I let his cat out the house by mistake and chase it around for like an hour and then we share stories of Effed up relationships we are in…
4. Minneapolis, MN
Ok. Even though Randall Cunningham eventually came here and all, I met parallax here and it was the sickest time so f culture shock ever. THe biggest mall in the world became home to marijuana plants growing in there fro two years, and the 5th element record store is the purpose for all of current underground hip hop. They also have great coffee shops and I’m still on the email list for the “green” store next to 5th element. They make postcards out of old paperback book covers. ‘Nuff said right there.
5. Burlington VT
The essence of hippy can be captured at the show but there is a good feeling playing up here 5 hours from home and being able to meet tons of people from NJ. That shows the unity my lovely state has far away and represent. To top it off it has some cute jewish girls that are mountainous and that is like any jewish rapper’s icing on the cake, or at least mine. Memories of Killington, Vermont and Smuggler’s Notch, and sold out Matisyahu shows and meeting people on the street to sleep at their house, this is what Vermont is all about.
Well, the top 5 spots today are places i would love to be. Mind you, tomorrow they will definitely change. I can’t believe I did not put in Cape Cod ( I feel like going there, never have been) and I also should put in LA/ San Diego way before San Fran I think, but hey, thats it for this blog.
Have cheery day guys!
GREAT ESCAPE TOUR w/ MC Pig Pen, Pat Maine, and Dusk One
ALthough the picture might be small, the tour is quite mighty.
Expect to see them all over the USA and i’ll shall be extending their tour visit with some hopeful festival appearances in eastcoast and SOuth East and midwest yes dates.
think north carolina, south carolina, tennessee, virginia, maryland, dc and more.
this september.
Also, will we see them at this year’s A3C Festival in Atlanta or the CMJ??
hmmm.
these guys are the next big thing to come out the southwest west coast area. They cross between some east coast grind and living legends aesthethics, with the work force of a indie rock band on the road 180 days a year. With that being said, make sure you hit a show. check the dates here.
Bamboo Bros w/ Dave Dar and Kurious George
These are my boys, but these guys are really amazing.
Think Benny Blanco from the Bronx and some old school NYC mixed with like Rocksteady up-rocking down the street to Tony Touch’s House. I wanna show this to mad people forreal! This is perfect for summer time and perfect for ROcksteady. This is what NYC needs in the parks.
This speaks to my old life- Eamon
I’ve never really been done dirty by anyone. Well I guess I have. I used to run rampant in the street committing chaos and other sorts of debauchery. Say it was addiction people. Say it was the evil deeds the dirty deeds done dirt cheap.
This video is classic and the guy is mad talented he sold out Por Billy’s one night and I wish i went to see him perform I did not. But alas, the song lives on. Spread it to your evils whether it is your ex-girlfriend, ex-boss, ex-teacher that did not pass you,or ex-bandmate that you never got along with becuase you were fighting for each others girlfriends.
enjoy!
a day at the diner- NJ return from european tour
hey guys..im back..I know it makes me wanna close my eyes while I think about eligible jewish single women, New Jersey Diners, and other great stuff like my Mom’s homecooking and my Aba’s BBQ.
I have a string of shows coming up and Im not so excited<-----SIKE
I really am I'm prepping for my experiences on stage with my friend Cyn City at the diner (omega)
She is making a blog called "Kosha Dillz Friends" on what its liek to be my friend. It probably won't be soooo interesting (being my friend) but she is really cool and does music and has a cool life so why not listen to her.
She's also gonna help me run some of my stuff.
In short you probabaly want a summary of the shows.
