What up hip hop,
It’s the new year but the horrors persist.
Hope everyone had a good holiday season. It’s been relatively snowy around these parts, frequent but not in significant amounts. I feel like we used to get a lot of big snowstorms in New England when I was a kid. Haven’t had too many big ones that I can remember but it may just be my terrible memory. Got this big one coming tomorrow though, supposed to be at least a foot. Temps will be cold so the snow will probably be light and fluffy. Bonus for all the shredders out there. I used to hit the mountains a lot when I was younger but now I just can’t justify the expense. It’s well over $100 just for a lift ticket and I’d rather spend that money (& time) elsewhere.
Some info:
The federal gestapo (ICE) are now invading Maine, which is only about an hour’s drive for me. I work on the border in the city of Portsmouth and many of my colleagues live in Maine, I am very concerned for their safety.
Projectreliefme.com - immigrant led mutual aid for immigrants
r/maine subreddit also has a lot of resources. Appears community members are already getting organized. If you have the means, please donate - time, money, anything helps.
On the personal/music front I am honored to announce 4 of my joints are gonna be on the latest Blak Madeen album: The latest single Medina to Beantown (Still going strong 💪🏼), An Al-J solo joint and two more tracks using beats I made from a sample Yusuf gave me. Al & Yusuf said they are coordinating with SpitSlam on a release near the end of first quarter, probably March or so. They mentioned shooting a video as well, more info on that later.
As for me and Al-J - we’ll have our new single All My Children out on streaming around end of February. I had it mastered the other day but need to make some slight tweaks before it’s ready. Artwork is attached below for your interest.
Until next time,
Peace, blessings and stay safe
