what day is it again?

filthy says: shit iontknow!
spec says: who cares anyway?!

i been pretty fucking busy lately and while i have a few unfinished thoughts drafted im really just around handling other business. im an instrumental part of 5 releases this year so as you can imagine my workload changes at a moments notice. here is a quick status report:

tanya morgan is a rap group (aka the as of yet unnamed dj soul mixtape): i dont think ilyas even knows the name of the mixtape yet, the title is THAT new lol. but the bulk of the songs have been picked and we are in the middle of getting the special treats in order right now.
-february 08 (??)

the bridge: see the last entry for info the tracklist. save 2 verses from ilyas, a sang hook and a few mixes it is done to the point where i could sit down and play it for you if i saw you on the street. honestly its all ive been listening to for the past 1-2 weeks so if you see me rockin the ipod ask can you hear it lol. i have to comp out some cover art ideas and i need to get that done today.
-april 08 (??)

brooklynati: we have had a few tracks demo'd out for a while now, like a few months but with the bridge wrapped im shifting my focus to this. we have decided on how the cover art should look and all thats left is to just do the music. im so warmed up from workin on the bridge, should be pretty interesting
-around fall 08

suburban sprawl: waiting on one more mix and we are goin over cover art comps right now. that shit has been done for a while it was just figuring out how to get it to yall. im going to release it via a digital distribution service. by the time that tanya hits the road i may have a few hard copies to sell for the die hard's out there but basically its gonna be available online only.
-any fucking day now

can 31 songs fit on a cd?

Anonymous said...

if Low Key cuts them short enuff unless the songs are just short

DJ Low Key /// djlowkey.com said...

Yes, 31 songs can fit onto a CD (check my MIA joints), but no, BT2 will not...The download version will be almost 100 minutes long (the songs are all exclusive to the tape so we didn't want to cut them short), but the CD version is gonna have less songs...Don & Il are blessing you guys on the download so make sure to cop something else and/or tell some friends...

ms. swifty said...

oh my gosh... these BK kids were on the train talking about Tanya Morgan this evening!

and i quote... "Don Will has a blog, yo *insert laughter from the other guys clowning him* fuck you yo! you know you'll be peepin' that shit tonight... after you jack off."

i wanted to be ignorant & say "OH MY GOSH I KNOW THEM THEY BE AT MY HOUSE WITH OTHER RAPPERS AND STUFF!"

but i played my position. i'm a dork, Don. :(

Che Grand said...
