Every Revolution Needs a Soundtrack- George Watsky

For those that don’t know…

I'm really feeling this song/video. It's by a cat named George Watsky and featuring a singer named Passion. I met George at Brave New Voices Poetry Slam 2008. He's a pretty tight poet and he's coming out with an album titled "Watsky". Not sure if the album is gonna be totally hip-hop or what the angle is but from the sounds of this song I'm definitely looking to hear more. He's originally from The Bay Area but now he's going to school at Emerson in Boston. He sounds like a more intelligent Asher Roth (no shots). They're voices are kinda similar (and they look alike, white, skinny, etc.) but I def prefer Watsky's style.

He's been on Def Poetry, won national poetry slams, blah blah blah. I'm glad to see him doing his thing. Props.

Peep it out...Chicago's next. Mikkey Halsted

So this is my dude from the Hundreds. He used to be on Cash Money but now he's doing his own thing and he def needs to be recognized. Check him out for real.

It's been a long time, I shouldn't've left you...

I'm back. Cold chillin in my dorm room. Grades a little lower, mind a little wiser, body a little older. First things first I want to give y'all a listen to a joint I did for this MC named Adalesson's mixtape. He's a cool dude, from the South Side, on his grind, google him.



In addition to that I got another good music video from the Chicago rock band, The Audians. For any of you who listen to my music you'll recognize The Audians by their lead singer (Sima Cunningham from the song "King") and even if you don't check them out. They're great musicians and even better people and activists.



Other than that, the election is tomorrow. I'm tired of it and ready for it to end. I'm also incredibly nervous and excited to see what's gonna happen to this country. We shall see.
