68th entrance: First Instalment
My relationship with Hip Hop has not abated in 20 yrs plus and there seems to be no sign of it doing so. So with the first track uploaded from the forthcoming mixtape, ‘There will Be A Reckoning’ the emphasis will be on things Hip Hop but the mixtape will not be exclusively about that. There will be street life, family life, girls and history. The full mixtape should be fully uploaded by the end of October so stay tuned and checkout the first instalment Ride 4 HipHop, which is first of a trilogy of tracks with Hip Hop as their theme.
For those wondering what the woman is singing here is a translation:
Poveri fiori : Poor flowers,
gemme de' prati : the jewels of the meadow
pur ieri nati, : born only yesterday
oggi morenti : today you are dying
The last line :- oggi morenti : today you are dying is omitted from the track but if we see Hip Hop as the Poor Flowers and take into consideration the last line then you will see that i am trying to say that Hip Hop is dying a death (its still fighting but at present we are on the losing side) This is due to comercial interests taking precedence over the cultural and positive interests of the art form know as Hip Hop which contains at least four other art forms under that title.

Name: Crazeski Country: UK
Crazeski (also know as Crae) has had a 20yrs plus relationship with Hip Hop. Being one of the very first break dancers in his home town Leicester he belonged to the SWC (Sky Walker Crew) later to be known as Sound Wave Covenant. He experienced every aspect of the Hip Hop culture ranging from break dancing, body poppin, graffiti DJ-ing, beatboxing and rappin. At an early age he branched into event management (i.e. organising Hip Hop functions). He played on local pirate radio station Fresh FM where he had a large underground local following.
He was the first Hip Hop artist in Leicester to put out a studio recorded track as early as 1989. It was a hobby for him but due to this recording he when on in 1993/4 to appear on a record produced by future top ten artist Punjabi MC. He has also produced and appeared on a track featuring Alexander O’neal. Not to mention going on a nationwide tour with him as a support.
More recently he has been instrumental in procuring the skills of DMX on Mark Morrison’s (due to be released single) Innocent Man as well as being the chief negotiator on the finalizing of Blackstabbers another track on Mr Morrison’s album. He is currently working with Punjabi MC, musicians from Hungary and producing tracks for Dutch and French artists. Also he has furthered his early skills of event management by bringing USA artist to UK clubs. Artists include Akon and ATL.
He is now a part of The Donz a UK/USA based group that combine UK and Stateside vocals and sounds with productions by members of the Donz as well as the legendary Punjabi MC with his unique eastern beat flavours.
Crazeski like other group members is working on a solo album so he can share his own personal experiences with the music world via words, beats and sounds. He is currently finishing off his album and two videos that will highlight different facets of his life past and pesent! |

(Did You Know No.29) Notorious
B.I.G. killings part 4
The Facts:
What may be the biggest new Rampart
development, however, is the allegation by a
former girlfriend of Rafael Perez that she
saw Perez and fellow officer David Mack kill
two people in the mid-1990s when a cocaine
deal went bad. Sonia Flores, 23, made the
allegations in an interview with the Los
Angeles Times; last week she traveled to
Mexico with an assistant U.S. attorney and
FBI agents to show them a dump in Tijuana
where she said the pair disposed of the
bodies.
Sources say federal authorities could seek an
indictment against Perez, since the 1999
immunity deal he cut with the DA in exchange
for his testimony on the Rampart scandal
won't protect him from prosecution if the
FBI turns up independent evidence against
him. Attorneys for Perez and Mack deny the
allegations.

63rd Entrance (Cold)
It has just gone below minus and winter is truly upon the cold is biting. I have just had a strange day and I find myself becoming as cold as the weather that is upon us in the UK. I have had enough of biting my lip for people that have no respect and take humbleness for weakness, forebearance for foolishness. Just gotta treat these folk like the ignorant people they are, not descend to their level but to allow them to know that you have been there when you were a child and now you are at a time or a state in your existence that you will not suffer fools lightly especially when they claim they are good natured and true. When you look just a little closer you find that their fakeness is more transparent then perspex.
Watch out for them and do not allow them to draw you from your path, at times I have but no more.
Peace to the Peaceful People.

61st Entrance (At the Speed)
The avenues that people can take in life are as numerous as the the people on the face of the earth itself. Alot of them are decided for the child when they are young and for the disadvantaged they have to work extra hard to break the mould and achieve the life of someone who has more income at their disposal via their parents/guardians etc.
At the speed of thought we strive to achieve our goals but at the speed of thought life passes us by.
My point is: let us not fail to exprience and view the beauty of life whilst in our pursuit of a better life!
Peace!

60th Entrance ( Let there be light)
Well I'm nearing the end of my video editing on my next video to get uploaded. I'm not happy with the finished project as the lighting is wrong in places. So I'm now gonna buy a lighting book so i can make sure i can sort out the lighting myself, lighting is very important, more important then I realised. But until i'm loaded enough to get a lighting director on sight than I'm gonna have to learn myelf along with all the rest of the things I'm learning LOL.

59th Entrance (Too Much)
I seem to be doing too much and i'm feeling the effect of it. there isn't enough time in the day or the night to sort out all the things i need to do.
I got so much to do and i'm doing so much LOL. I've been looking at Adobe After Effects to increase the visual effect of my website when I finish it that is. I've also been trying to do colour correction to a video I should have finished two weeks ago. Plus I was doing a video for a female singer I know and she decided she didn't want certain things in it when I was a few days from completion, oh well I'll do this for a week more and then it gotta be over full stop, I have about another 3 videos i wanna shoot and bout 5 tracks i have to produce and i would like to get them done before the end of the year, yeah right!
Wish me good fortune on my adventures folks

58th Entrance (RAP GAME)
Whoever said that the rap game was an easy game was tripping, its just as ruthless as any competive sports but the extra street edge can make it even more perilous than most professions. It has an addded extra danger factor because most rappers these days are talking about being gangster when a lot of them actually are nothing but actors trying to portray an image to sell more records. But just one of many problems that arise from this is that it attracts real ganagsters wanting to do business with these wannabe gangsters and others that just wanna turn them over and milk them for their money because they are talking a game they cannot live LOL.
On top of that the police are watching to see if you are reinvesting your money in other less law abiding ventures. Or trying to see if your talk is just talk or real.
The amount of people in this game is a big issue as well becaue so much people think they are the next best thing, most rappers thinks they are the best or have something others rappers can't offer. Dam I'm no different, I believe I'm the Alfred Hitchcock/Steven Spielberg of this Rap Game and you readers will soon see what I mean when I do my third video Hahahaha!
Til then folks you gonna have to just take my word for it.

57th Entrance (Tip Of The Iceberg)
I have been studying premiere Pro in my own time for about three months now and I have been able to put together a decent video (which you will see soon). However I have only touched the tip as I discovered After Effects and now I'm trying to understand that as well as lighting. If I can understand these disciplines my videos will be off the hook. Wish me well people!
Video will be up week ending 12.11.05. Will be called Watch You Sayin.

56th Entrance (Upon Us)
The Month of November is upon us, it wil bring my sister's birthday, the production of new tunes and of course the celebration of the hung, drawn and quarting up of one of history's most famous religious terrorists!
No not Osama, or Saddam but Guy Fawkes, the Roman Catholic Terrorist who tried to blow up the British House Of Parliments but failed miserably. Let us not forget he was a hero and freedom fighter to some. Now his death is a yearly celebration. Waht a strange and barbaric bunch of people we are!

55th Entrance (Friendships)
Friend are strange creatures, you get all sorts of them. The ones that only wanna know you when they want something, I call them some times friends. Then you get the reputation friends that hang with you to increase their reputation and social standing LOL. Then you have the 'Oh I never knew' friends, they say oh I never knew you were cooking or Oh I never knew you had tickets to that game and oh I never knew you had to pay to get in.
And of course you get the true friends that don't ask if you need help they offer it when they know you most need it. These type of friends are hard to find fortunately for me I have a few and I'm grateful for them!

54th Entrance (Need)
When you really need something and someone else has it and they know you want it but put conditions on it so far reaching you feel it isn't worth it, what do you do? You need this thing to get you through to the next stage but don't want to have to give the earth for it.
More lately this has come to be a situation that I have found myself in. I'm big enough to admit that I'm a stubborn person at times but never more so when I feel someone is trying to capitalize on my misfortune. Yeah you may have got the term in your head one of those people who would rather go without and get something that wasn't exactly what I wanted but gave me the basic results of the more suitable option.
However you know when that person who has that better option I wanted realises that I maybe opting for a less suitable version and they come and try and offer it to me at a more attractive package, you know what I'm gonna say....
You must know LOL

53rd Entrance (Life is strange)
Life is strange, when you think its all about to change it doesn't and when it seems like it has to change, it fights to stay the same. What is my conclusion to this phenomenon, well it is simply this, expect the uexpected even when the obvious seems the only option.
Short and sweet
Take Care people!

52nd Entrance (Not enough time)
Have you ever tried to get things done in the day and realise that its just not gonna work, all your best thought out plans are knocked side ways by the smalliest of things. well I have had a few of those days over the last couple of weeks. sometimes you think why bother or should I just give up. Then what comes to mind is this, I'm living in England a place of considerable wealth and opportunity. Dam even the dustmen get piad good money LOL. Contrast this with places oversea, Indian, Africa, places in south America and others developing countries. Even in places in the West indies the Policemen don't get paid good money let alone the dustmen. We who had the good fortune to be born in a country that offers us so much for what in comparison is only hard work according to our overrated standards of what hard work is.
My point may be obvious to some people, but not to everyone. So Im gonna spell it out. Don't watch no one else just do you! What ever you do, do it with some dignity whether it be a dustmen or a doctor, both services are valuable and in the end of the day your getting paid honest money for a hard days work.
If you don't like your job take a evening course make that sacrifice and get training in something that will give you more satisfaction. But don't forget that the ability to work itself is a luxury to many around the world!
Peace!

51st Entrance (If you knew)
Hello to all the readers of this blog. The question I'd like you to ponder is this. If you had the chance to change things you had done in the past would you?
Hindsight is a wonderful thing and there are many that say they wouldn't change a thing, but is that just them having a realistic acceptance where they are in life or resigned belief that they couldn't change anything if they wanted to.
There are many things that I would change, not necessarily to make me wealthy more to make me not look back and cringe and some of my more foolish endeavours LOL. Some that I'm very ashamed of others I'm just astonished at. I feel that most people if given the choice would make some changes.
And for those that say they wouldn't I feel most of them are very wealthy and can afford to buy comfort to make them less unhappy with their past mistakes.

The Internet! (50th Entrance)
I heard the internet once discribed as the fruit in the garden of Eden. The essence that will corrupt mankind and take him into the world where greed, lust and envy rein. I listened and understood it, but I drew my own conclusion and they are as thus: The Internet has almost every piece of running through its veins at one time or another.
The power to make nuclear bombs and other chemical compounds that are normally related to death and diease. How to poison, how to make a home made gun, how to kill some one and not get caught etc.
But on the other hand it has the information to show you how to make wells, irrigation systems, fix broken legs, arms, computers, how to write a successful book and get paid for it, how to set up a internet business and make yourself a living, how to teach other to do these things etc.
My point being that it is a source of knowledge that can be used for both good and evil. It is the individuals choice to decide what path they want to take. Basically the the internet is a tool. I pray we all use it for good!
Take it easy my techno generation!
Peace.

People who love to complain, here is my advice to you, chill the f'out, life is too short to be unhappy all the time. Live a little, love a little, give a little, look around a litle and maybe you might realise that you have little to complain about and more to be happy about!

Impulsive! (43rd Entrance)
Have you ever gone into a supermarket (Mall for the USA) and said I just wanna get a couple of things and you end up buying a whole trolley full of stuff. Well i had one of those days today, or should I say tonight. I went into there for a yoghurt and some juice and ended up with bread, biscuits, apples, bananas, oranges, buns, water, and whole lot of other stuff.
Worst thing is that I brought a couple of my mates along with me and they wanted other a handful of things and I got them shopping like me lol. And he was not too happy as I came out with more money than him.
Then I came to the checkout and it had been automated where you scan the stuff yourself with a checkout assistant just in eye's view. But I didn't have the time for this new clinical machinery so I called over the checkout assistant to come and help me and I had a little chin wag with her, it felt more real and made the shopping abit more enjoyable.

Yeah People (42nd Entrance)
A friend of mine who I haven't seen in a while told me that she was having a baby and I was really happy for her coz she has wanted a child for a while.
We were very close once and now we are not so, this led me to contemplate if the friendship was really a friendship at all and if I could erase the memories would I.
My answer is a ressounding no. My memories helped make me who I am today and without the cold recesses of sorrow, how could we possibly experience the heights of happiness.
And what is the point of all this rambling you may think, well basically it is this,yes we all have are down points some can be avoided others can't however when we go through them remember that they can help make our happy times happier. This is not saying sorrow will not hurt, but what would life be without a range of emotions.

Resurrection! (41st Entrance)
I watched 2pac Resurrection yesterday and it gave me a deeper insight to who 2pac was. I thought I knew all or most there was to know about 2pac, him being on e of the most influential characters in HipHop and after his death being elevated to legendary status. Similar to that of James Dean and Bob Marley.
The documentary shown that he was a complex individual with a lot to say and his life unfolded infront of the camera and world in general. I recommend anyone to go and purchase or just watch this documentary, it is really powerful stuff, whether you are into Rap music or not.

Oh yeah, I'v had drama, but dam I seem to have drama following me all over the place!
Yeah and my mate is tellin me to hurry up and come round their yard and my other mate is trying to get me into 'Lost' whilst I write this blog.

Yesterday (39th Entrance)
I was suppose to write this blog yesterday, but I was side tracked and hence I'm trying to deal with it today.
I had to go on a long drive yesterday, about a five and half hour round trip. But it was for an important reason so i had to do it. Whilst traveling I thought how much of our lives do we waste behind the wheel of our cars, or on aeroplanes or on some bus stuck in a traffic jam. My lesson for today or should I say for yesterday is to try and make the most of our time, if your in a car listen to a cd or tape history, comedy, a novel, biography anything that that will enrich our life or your soul, do more than just drive. If you on a bus or plane head phones or get some sleep, anything but nothing.
Optimize your time people, don't waste time spend it!

Hope (38th Entrance)
I knew in my mind this is the truth but lately it has come to me in a stark and hard hitting way that hoping for a better day is not enough, hoping to find the right person is not enough, hoping things to sort themselves out is not enough! We have to be proactive to make that hope a closer reality. And sometimes, just sometimes you have to be selfish, not just for the betterment of yourself but also for the better of others.
When you make decisions, life long decisions, you have to bsure that you will be able to live with them cause if you can't and other human beings are involved you will be disrupting more then just one life. This is where selfish contemplation is necessary.
Remember this readers, please remember this, it will save you heartache and stress!
I wish you well on your journeys!

I feel very bad today, my throat is sore to the extent that I can't speak properly, and it is causing me some discomfortful. This mixed with a bad flu like cold is not helping me today. But all that aside, I 'm happy I got my video uploaded thought, I hope I can get the next one to the same standard if not above it.

I feel more determined today to make my sh#t work, people try and dog you and keep you down in innuendo type ways, stealth vibes and outright negativity that does have an affect on you even though the negativity may channel the bad vibes it aroused in you in a way that seems unattached to the original negative vibe that sparked it. You could draw comparisons to you having such a bad day at work that you take your mood home with you.
The purpose of me saying this is to let all readers of this blog know that we must try to challenge these bad vibes and channel them in a positive way, converting negative energy into positive energy. Its not easy but once you can do it it can be a great motivator as well as infuriating those that wanted to rile you up even more lol.
Hope you manage to achieve it, I have a 75% success rate at present, if I can quantify it that is!

Rat Race (32nd Entrance)
Have you ever looked back at parts of your life and thought why didn't I do that or is it too late to try this. Well I have had thoughts like that before and now I'm dam sure I'm not gonna be one of those people who look back and say, "I wonder if, or what would have happened if I'd done that". Sometimes people want you to be a part of the Rat Race, or in other words tow the line, 9 - 5 job, then home in front of the TV watching a generic assortment of soaps, then in bed by 10pm wake up and go through the same thing all over again.
Hardly any spontaneity numbing of the senses. Well no doubt in your life you have to get a little order and maybe tow the line, maybe if you have to get a 9 - 5 job to pay for the bills fair play, but people if you have the opportunity to pursue your dreams and even if you don't achieve them, still go for it, you don't want to be sitting in front of a tv with a beer belly a remote in one hand falling asleep whilst watching Stars in your eyes or the X factor, wondering what if!
Go for your goals, you may not score, but at least you tried!

Good News (31st Entrance)
Well what is the good news you may be thinking, well no it isn't news that I've won the lottery, or thjat I just got signed to Jay-Z's label.
But a track part of our team produced should be A listed for play on BBC Radio One which is a good look. The Tune is Innocent Man by Mark Morrison feat DMX and produced by my brother Jedi (Shaun) and Mark. Now I have been given the vocals to see if I can come up with a good remix.
Wish me luck people!
All the Best
Crazeski.

Not Bad! (29th Entrance)
I have had a decent day maybe been on the net abit too much, but I did some good work. Tomorrow I'll try and do a bit more and stay slightly more focused. However I can see real light at the end of the tunnel now and it is making me feel more confident with what I'm doing. Soon you peeps will know what I'm talking bout. Not that long now. I'm feeling like a great Ethiopian Long distance maybe Gabriel Selasse (spelling?) who can see the end of the race, just a few miles too go on this particular run!
See you guys at the finishing line!
Peace

I woke up this morning and I felt as rough as an old bag of nails, I had to rush out so I never got to shave making me look even more rough, on top of that I never had that much to eat making me look gunt and adding to my rough look!
Despite this I did have quite a productive day and despite my roughness I was reasonable happy with the days events.

Will not be able to finish the video by tomorrow, so I'm not setting a date on it now! I had to go out of town today so I never got no work done really! Plus I had to extend the track for bout 30 secs to fit in some dancers on the video. I've had enough of talking bout this video now and you lot are probably sick of hearing about it. Next time I talk about it I'll be to tell you its done.
Other then that I have had an average day had some good news, Our group the Donz has now got air play on London's capitol radio, we are now on the playlist yeeeaaaahh! Soon we will be on more stations and then who knows hey. I'll keep you posted!

Disruption (22nd Entrance)
Disruption still rules in my life, but it has also been a motivator and I have did quite a lot of work today which I'm happy about. I realised that more work then I thought needs to be done with regards to the video. At present it is around 4.10 secs, but I'm thinking to extend it to 4.40 secs so I can add a few more dancers which have been left out.
I still think that I can finish the video by the end of the week. Well at least I'm gonna try.
Wish me well and I wish you well in all your endevours!
More Time!

Testing Times! (21st Entrance)
Today I had to make some hard decisions and they haven't all been decided yet, but they have to be made.
My life will not be the same after these decisions of that I'm sure. You know when you gotta go to the dentist coz you have the occasional twinge but you know without attention it will only get worse.
Well I have a few situations like that, you could call them fillings that needed filling or worse still teeth that needed extracting lol
I hope after these changes (extractions) I will be in a better place or position in life.
Wish me well as i too wish the readers of this blog well!

The Toll (18th Entrance)
Not as in car toll, but as the toll things can take on you if you over a period of time. I have been working quite hard all week and the long journey I had on Friday gone left me sleeping most of today away. Not good, but its cause and effect I suppose.
I will have to try and go bed slightly earlier in the future, so you isound folk gotta contact me British time in future, or at least don't expect quick responses lol.
Went for an interview on a radio station today Sabras it was a good interview the station has global coverage via the internet. Its an Asian radio station but because our tune Worldwide was produced by Punjabi MC it fell into their remit.
Anyway folks nice sharing these moments with someone.
Stay Positive!

Drama (17th Entrance)
There is too much drama in this world and now I see and hear friends I have on this site trading insults at each other. Its not good peeps.

When I was a child I behaved like a child and did childish things now I'm Man... (those in the know, know the rest)

Don't mind if I do (16th Entrance)
Today has been a good day, and I could do with a couple of more, maybe a few more actually, couldn't we all hey.
I learnt in 10mins how to use Adobe Encore and I exported a little test dvd and it played well. The video still has bout a week as I have to do some more shot editing and colour correction and than there is calibration and I have never done that, but its very important I learn this. Wish me well people. until next time, Take care!

Have a Nice day (15th Entrance)
Well today went better than most, not just because I was isound's listener of the day. I also made quite a few new friends and edited more of my video.
Going off the subject above slightly, I've been parking my car about half a mile away from my office (its cheaper) and I have been walking quite briskly to and from work and it has been doing the world of good.
Only those who really drive their car everywhere like I used to will understand me when I say I'm quite fit but it is all gym work rather then just walking normally every day. Having said that if it was raining I don't know if I'd be so enthusiastic. LoL!

Not exactly (14th Entrance)
Well, I showed my far from finished video to the dancers today, I was far from impressed myself, but they were like wicked and I looking forward to the finished version.
The auto save isn't working properly on my software program so I'm gonna check that out tomorrow. I have got a good eye for movements and shots though. I think you will see this when you view my finished product. Stay tune to my site to see what's new.
Few things have gone cock eyed today, but overall I'm happy, back on the grind tomorrow gonna get this project done asap. Bare with me people!
Until next time!
All the best.

A Shot Gun Marriage (13th Entrance)
I think I may have made a rod for my own back coz I have told the dancers in my video to come tomorrow night to view the near finished project.
However I have not finished it yet and unless I work nonstop tomorrow, I'm gonna push it to the wire, the shots are not all in place and the colour correction hasn't even started yet.
But hey its ok, they'll see the rough idea and it does look good even if i say so myself. But isn't finished!
Other then that my day has been ok, learned a few new things and I've tried to be mor patient!

Can't wait! (12th Entrance)
Watsup people,
Today has had its ups and downs, but life is like that, I've chilled out abit this is the only day when I don't go in to do my video editing, I started doing it 6 days a week, last week for bout 5 hrs a day depending on what else I have to do, this video is my first project that I've done solely on my own.
Don't get me wrong I've done other projects, but this one is for my own video, there will probably another few coming in the next couple of months as I'm getting better at it now. Only started 2 and half months ago, and been reading from a book, no tutors, but I'm on it and its coming along well.
So you will have to put up with me talking bout it for the next week or so.
All this talk i better put up some product hey. Proof's in the pudding!

Just when things were... (11th entrance)
Just when things were picking up today, I suddenly hit a bump or two.
Well the first bump was quite small in comparison, I done about an hour of video editing on my quite power well equipped machine and it crashed, or should I say froze on me. Now for some reason the auto save was not enabled so I lost all my hour and a half worth of work. That was frustrating.
But here comes the biggy, took stock from the shop to the other shop up the road and when I was reversing I hit a car, not bad, but bad enough to cost me the wrong side of 60 quid, and that is just for his car, mine will cost three times that much at least, what a bugger.
Well what don't kill you only makes you stronger or should I say in my case makes you poorer!
But I did learn to take my time in future!

I only surfed the surface (10th entrance)
Today has been a long day, got into my town office today, hoping to download adobe encore so I could get a few test dvd copies of the video I'm currently editing. However, like alot of things in my life it didn't quite go to plan.
Firstly, I was using Limewire and it was real fast and it found the (free) software I was looking for, but when I downloaded it it came with a worm, not a real bad one but enough to set my computer firewall alarm off. Okay I thought, let me try and find another version.
Yes you might of guessed, that to had the same worm virus. So I was like forget encore for now and just get something else which is good, power gold, click 1 or something decent. But low and behold the same virus was ther and on all subsequent downloads of this type.
So I go and buy what I thought was a similar package to Limewire coz after a couple hours of searching I just needed to get it done. It said around £10 for a two year full unlimited service, wicked I thought. Not so, it charged me £25 quid coz it came with some attached package I didn't really want or know was there. So I thought stuff this and go to contact them to cancel my order but the customer service was shut coz it was abroad so they said so I have to wait til tomorrow I hope.
And after all that it was late afternoon and I was abit perturbed to say the least. Then I find out that my friend up the road in my own neighbourhood has the software I need.
So concluding my story is this, I searched all the world for a piece of software my friend had a mile and a half up the road.
Sods law hey.
Well hope nobody has to experience the same.
All the best.

Up & Downs (8th entrance)
Life deals you a strange hand at times, just whenyou think your on a roll, something comes across your path and pow, you grind to a halt. I would not say my day has been quite like that, but I have seen better days.
However trying to be the consumate optimist, my highs have been more prevalent than my lows, and how can you really experience your highs if there are no low to indicate a high. And that my viewers is a whole different topic.
Your Dreams, don't stop believing in them!

Structure (7th entrance)
Fellow Isoundonians, ask not what Isound can do for you, but what you can do for the Isoundonian community.
I've been up early today and I'm feeling ok about my video project. Its looking good, (even if i say so myself lol).
Internet still not up, wireless is not reaching through the wall and ceilings. so it ethernet cable arrh!
Well Tomorrow is another day.
Oh yeah, the Mark Morrison featuring DMX video is out on British cable and sky tv. Good look for us coz we produced the tune, and I sourced DMX when he came to England to appear on the tune.
I'm gonna try and post the video up in here if I can find my copy. Not a bad day really.
Keep it Live!
