creating memories of my future
to you it doesn't make any sense
but to me
it's a predetermined destination
the only problem
is lately i've been in a rut
and my visions now fade to black
enter my dead end
they say you make it
this the bed you gotta lay in
but having dreams of balling
doesn't make it easy like a lay-in
so i'ma close my eyes
think of the better times
and when i wake up
i won't be the cause of my demise...

"say hip-hop only destroy, tell 'em look at me, boy
i hope your son don't have a gun and never be a d-boy
all right, already
the show goes on
all night 'til the morning
we dream so long
anybody ever wonder
when they would see the sun up
just remember when you come up
the show goes on..." (lyrics from "the show goes on")

shout out to one my fav artist of all time - lupe fiasco. as a matter of fact, he is the sole reason why i have a blogspot in the first place. (little known fact i was listening to the cool one day so i decided to check it out.) anyway the new album is almost here and as lupe says "the show goes on"...

look here. check out the message at wearenotlosers.com. it think it's really important on a social-political level minus all the politics, feel me? it's real talk. public service announcement. educate yourself.

lasers in stores march 8th. visit lupe's site for merch$, album info, and track listing. cop that, don't bootleg it dummies! it's real music.

"you girls really need to step it up, nails done, hair done, i do that on the regular..." desiree (u be killin em remix)

dezi is hitting it hard; letting the competition know it's game...over! new website, new pix, same swag, same dezi. this time she's taking it to the mixtape hustle one track at a time. here's an excerpt of her updated bio from her website:

"in june of 2010, desiree moved to miami to further her education and career, which she says was one of her smartest decisions ever. although desiree will be turning 19 in 2011, she is already approaching her third year of college at florida international university in miami, with a major in public relations. in just her first year at the university, she has become an active sister of phi sigma sigma, which has allowed her to perform at numerous events around campus such as fiu's golden idol and the annual phi sigma sigma fashion show.

although hip hop has always been a male dominated business and few believe that slowly but surely r&b is following the same footsteps, desiree wants to change that.
with her strong love for hip hop, desiree tizon is stepping into the game with some experience under her belt and letting the game know that it’s ready for a make-over." (desireetizon.com)

check out the website and definitely keep up with dezi as she continues to do her pretty girl rock!

new with j.a.y.

2011-02-10T05:59:00.002-06:00

j.a.y. is at it again. back with the long awaited mixtape "double up". he had a minor set-back when his computer crashed where all his recordings were stored. but "double up - the 2nd coming" is even better than the first according to j.a.y.

"there were a couple of things off each finished track i want to change but because i lost the sessions, i'm unable to do so. even with that being the case, this mixtape is still sh*ting on alot of mixtapes out there," j.a.y.

and he's right. i previewed the mixtape and i must say j.a.y. changed it up; keeping the average rapper out of ear's reach. r&b, techno, fast tempo, slow...it's all in there. with memorable features with r.e.a.l. like "f*ck love" ft 2URAW and "padded walls" ft ms. tylee, this mixtape is a 5-mic sensation. waka flaka, lil wayne, and eminem would agree that if you make it a hit, j.a.y. will make it a classic...and that's r.e.a.l.
if you haven't noticed, the art at the top was done by none other than j.a.y. promoting his graphic design venture "2TP" or 2UTHOED Productions. hit him up for low prices on good ish.
the wrap up: mixtape to be released any day now so follow @2UTHOED on twitter for exclusive info on that and his new webisode "a day in the life of dub". hmm...i wonder where he got that idea from.

this has never been rehearsed,
it's brand new,
so listen to the emotions
that i convey to you.
it's undeniable that i'm probably
still into you,
but it doesn't matter coz
i'll never get through to you.
damn...
like muziq soulchild i must be half crazy,
to think that you would still go
half on a baby.
hmm...
i can't even get a maybe?
you're everything i ever wanted
can you blame me?
and it's obvious that i'm sick of this,
everything is different ,
like kanye west,
this shit is fucking ridiculous.
we both gotta
grow up
but i'm trying
and it seems you don't give a fuck.

if i was to die today,
tomorrow, when you think of me
tell me how would you
begin to write my eulogy?
would focus on the negativity?
or would paint the world
a positive pic of me?
it's not lying to say that
i was good,
just becoz you and i
ended on the wrong foot.
it's no doubt that i have faults,
but in death
all is forgiven
coz i can give the world nothing else.
but until then,
i'm living like it's crunch time.
no more holding grudges,
this might be the last breath
i take in front of you,
so let me not waste it.
move closer,
this is love,
and a lack of it means
certain death...

sincere grant

2011-01-12T18:08:00.011-06:00

-tulsa, ok

back in my city with a long time friend of mine, singer/songwriter sincere grant and he's oh so sincere! i ain't even gotta google him but ya'll might after this. soulful singer and the pipes speak for themselves. life gave him a story to tell. the hood taught him how to tell it. but when it comes forth, it's definitely all his own. recently, he's been taking his act on the road, but now that he's back in town, i had to chop it up with my schoolmate to get the latest. i gave just a glimpse of who he is, but now you get to hear from the man himself. i used to be in choir back in the day, but you will not catch me trying to out sing this brotha. now dancing is a different thing but i might have to stretch, practice and get my wind back [haha]. what you think sincere?
"...why wait, gone 'head do your dance, either way they gon' hate..." (lyrics from "looking like a model" by sincere grant)

Dom: define sincere grant.
Sincere: first thing people need to know is i'm pretty much one of the saviors of real music. i do real r&b and soulful music. yeah i got club bangas and things like that but i'm really about making real music.

Dom: i like that. what is music missing nowadays in your opinion?
Sincere: real soul. real raw and uncut talent. the music game is watered down. i'm here to put some flavor back into it.

Dom: you're right about that. a lot of artists wouldn't have a career without auto-tune. i ask this question a lot and every one's story is unique, but what made you want to become a singer?
Sincere: i started singing in church. after a while, i started getting a lot of compliments about my voice and some would say 'wow you can really sing'. so i started writing and i formed a group with a few friends. unfortunately, after a while, the group broke up, but since i was doing all of the writing i kept doing my thing. and i've been writing and recording my own music since 2003.

Dom: that's what's up. so what is the first main body of work that got you a lot of buzz?
Sincere: that would be my first album "sincerely yours" back in 2007.

Dom: i remember that one. (still waiting on my copy but that's not what we here to talk about...i'm just saying haha) what did you learn from that project that helped you progress in your career?
Sincere: i learned everything from that project. people said it was so good, but i grew up so much during that project that i felt like i needed to go back and redo that album, and i did redo some of the writing and recording before i released it. one major thing i learned from it was studio etiquette.

Dom: indeed. very important. what ended up being your biggest single from that album and why?
Sincere: "in the zone". it's the first club single i ever did (produced by ron wallace). the beat was so crazy that it got people moving and on top of that, it's about drinking patron and patron had just come out at that time so it was hot track for that particular moment.

Dom: okay, that was then, what you got now?
Sincere: i just released my single "looking like a model". it's another club single, my latest club single. it's been out for almost three months now and is doing really well. it's getting spins from many dj's locally and international so i'm excited about that. i also got an entire album ready but i'm not looking to release it until i get signed to a label and get a distribution deal.

Dom: i don't blame you. make the people work for it. (by the way i'm tryna be one of the first to hear it before you get signed so uh...let's hook that up haha). now as far as artists in the game right now, who do you look up to in the game? who are you often compared to? who is the biggest threat to your career that you wouldn't mind seeing flop a little bit to help your album sell?
Sincere: i respect r kelly because no matter what obstacle that comes he puts out hit music. to me he is the standard as far longevity goes. as far as who i might sound like, other people have compared me to raheem devaughn, john legend (even though i don't see it), and jamie foxx. and the answer to the last one would be trey songz. enough said on that one [haha].

Dom: it's all good [haha]. i've said it before, and i'll say it again. until somebody overshadows him, trey songz is running the game right now. what else you got going on?
Sincere: i'm working on new songs daily. i'm always scouting new beats so i can put new music out.

Dom: definition of a grinder. any collabo's we need to be looking out for?
Sincere: as for as beats go, my go to guy is ron wallace. then i got too many tracks to count with yung villan. also i got a few collabo's with c nezzy and lil rick from muskogee.

Dom: tell c nezzy i said what up?! last question. sincere grant has the stage and the world is listening. what does he say?
Sincere: google sincere grant. look at everything. comment on everything. everything that's out there ends with /sinceregrant.

sincere on reverbnation
sincere on facebook
follow @sinceregrant
sincere on myspace

check him out. request the single. if the radio station near you don't got it, make 'em feel stupid for not having it then comment about it right here on this post haha! sincere, you know what it is. take a bow, you have earned the Dom seal of approval.

family feud

2011-01-04T12:23:00.004-06:00

so i'm watching family feud (now hosted by comedian steve harvey) and the question was: what is something that a burglar would not like to see when he breaks into a house?
this belligerent man buzzes in first and blurts, "a naked grandma!"
...seriously?
disgusted, steve harvey slams his cards onto the platform at which the opposing teams meet, and asks the guy, "what are the chances that 'naked grandma' will be up there?"
well turns out, it didn't matter because, although out there, the answer fell under the category of "gun/occupant". i wouldn't give him credit for it but i don't make the rules. i'm jus sayn...doesn't matter because the opposing team won that round anyway.

click clack goes the thunder
i open my eyes,
didn't know i was alive
you see my surprise?
i felt this same disappointment
when i turned nine;
my pops reached in his wallet
and slapped me a five.
who ever knew
that you could survive heartbreak?
slowly mending by the second,
yet my heart aches.
i see her smiles from my memory,
they all fake,
coz if they wasn't,
i would be her favorite keepsake.
unapologetic,
but she know she's wrong.
my sincereness seems to bore her,
monotone.
i'm like a hit by barry bonds,
you know i'm gone.
turning into a song by mya,
moving on.

some say knowledge is power
how come you didnt use it for the better?
you could have changed my life
well, in a positive way.
instead you ignored what you knew,
speeding up my downward journey
like a boulder on a steep slope.
beaten and bruised,
my heart has finally given up hope.
you knew my history,
so what i was looking for
was not a mystery,
what you offered was temporary
i guess you grew sick of me.
but these shoes have a cure
watch them help you get rid of me.
officially my enemy,
no regards.

when it comes to this love thing,
i learned my lesson,
never shall i fall again;
but i'm waiting on an answer
to a question i proposed,
indecent some might say,
but my inner feelings are exposed.
i need you like i shouldn't,
wanna take you like i couldn't,
and this back and forth stuff
is wearing on me.
need you to be more than serenity
to my well being,
want you to go from the one i saw,
to the one i'm seeing.
i suspect that you need me for a different reason.
and yeah i'm babbling
but at least it's the real me you're seeing.
at the end of the day,
after noon before we lay,
i just wanna hear you say
that you need me like i need you.

dom's 2010 playlist

2010-12-31T09:34:00.008-06:00

let's get into it. this is my top 8 artists of 2010 that have been on the blog.

#8 - singa bromfield
"latenight jam session" has that feel-good vibe that makes it enjoyable. only true musicians can bring instruments to life like that.
singa on the blog

#7 - hana pestle
hana's album is a must listen. "need" is melodic, heartfelt, and very passionate. gotta love someone that can bring you a hit like that.

this is where it got hard so i just made a 6 way tie for #1. i play each of these artists every day and for different reasons but the common thread that ties these artist together is pure greatness. besides it's my blog...i do what i want!

#1 - six way tie (no particular order)
money militia
"u girl" is self-explanatory. like money said, he told a girl what he wanted and she fell for it. check out his vids coz he got some fire that ain't even been released yet.

j.a.y.
j.a.y.'s single "magazine girl" ft ize open is a metaphoric masterpiece that makes the ladies feel special. anytime you have a "rapper turnt singa" there is no room for error. i'm sure t-pain would be proud.

mary rose
speaking of t-pain, this artist created a buzz that took the blog in a whole new direction when she did an acoustic cover of one of pain's hip-hop artists. that led to recording her single "what this means" in t-pain's studio, a song in which she looks back at a relationship for what it was. 2011 is shaping up huge for mary.

when it comes to huge, these cats know how to "do it big".
"big body whip, call that bitch precious"...um, j.a.y. said it, not me. i'm just quoting. haha...anyway, this song was definitely in my head for days after i heard it so i play it all the time now. i can't resist it. what up r.e.a.l.!?!

b. payne
the lightswitch mixtape is sick if ya'll ain't heard it. all he did the whole time was beat the tracks up one at a time with the punchlines. his street team (#TeamPayne) proved their presence on the blog by making him #1 on the blog for a week straight. what do you think about it, b. payne?
"i found success and i like it, this time it's really on, lightswitch..." b. payne

blais
last but certainly not least, we have the current #1, blais! with tracks like "make my heart go boom", "come", and his remix to nicki minaj's "right thru me", it's gonna be hard to keep him from rising to the top in 2011. stay tuned to the blogspot bcoz we will be doing a follow up with blais.

2010-12-30T08:10:00.001-06:00

what do we have here? guys would say it's a necklace. most women would call it an accessory. but some women use it as a weapon of seduction and a tool to wrap around a guy's neck as she humps him to death on the dance-floor...i'm jus sayn.
either way, it's a good look.

ashleigh jerkatis

2010-12-28T19:57:00.003-06:00

-new lenox, il

hey peeps. check out this artist on the rise. here's her bio from her reverbnation page:

"In the summer of 2009, Fourteen year old Ashleigh Jerkatis had the amazing opportunity to work with Grammy Award Winning Producer Barry Goldstein from New York City to bring to life just a few of her many self written songs. Ashleigh believes in following her dreams. Since she was only 5 years old, that dream was to be a professional singer and to let the world hear her voice! When Ashleigh was 9 years old, she began singing in many Chicago area restaurants. Ashleigh began writing songs at the age of 10, that were years beyond her experiences. Many times she would wake up with a song coming to her and she would get out of bed grab the guitar and begin writing. She has self written nearly 100 songs to date. At the age of 13, she began opening for various bands including a 45 minute acoustic performance at The Majestic Theatre in Streator, Illinois. Also in the summer of 2009, Ashleigh traveled to Rochester, New York to co-write the song "Break In Two" with the amazingly talented Richard Fink IV and Johnny Cummings at Castle Nine Entertainment. Since 2009, Ashleigh was a Decatur Finalist in The Colgate Country Showdown, and was the 1st place winner in both New Lenox Idol and Orland Days Singing Competitions in her home state of Illinois! Ashleigh is a member of The Nashville Spotlight Kid's Club and has performed at The Nashville Palace many times. Ashleigh is very excited to keep moving forward with her career!!! She hopes to someday inspire others to follow their dreams!"

long day home from work
and i'm tired now
i just wanna get away

i just wanna make it back to the place
where the dj can save my life-
tell the dj find my song

i got one last request
then i'm good for the rest
of the night-
i just wanna dance...

hana pestle

2010-12-28T18:49:00.006-06:00

-billings, montana

billings, montana...star of the big country sky. hana pestle is primed to be the first big star out of billings by way of georgia (her birthplace). it's rare that i find an artist with a voice that makes me stop what i'm doing to listen to the melodies that are flowing from my speakers. hana is that and then some. according to a friend of mine that caught hana's performance at the whiskey a go-go in california, recordings just don't do her justice.
hana's debut album feature's her single "need" which sounds like a perfect fit for the twilight series; many twilight fans agree. although her fanbase is growing daily, she remains focused on her mission to motivate others.

"I just want to be able to make music and support myself out on the road for as long as possible. I really want to reach out to new people and inspire them to create their own art. Truly, just getting to a point where my music could really support my lifestyle would be amazing. I want to continue to release music for as long as I make it." - Hana (hanapestle.com)

i look forward to seeing bigger to things come. take a bow hana. you have earned the Dom seal of approval.

catchy local artists

2010-12-25T10:35:00.006-06:00

- tulsa, ok

going back home this holiday, my gift for my city is to put on some of the local cats that don't get the national spotlight that others that i work with do. so i did some listening around and put together a list of artists that have been creating a buzz for different reasons.

from one song i found a handful of artist worthy of some positive buzz.

"fallin in love" eddye k ft yung villin, mellokie, and miss unique
big collabo here with three an up-and-coming female rappers and one of the top male rappers out of the area.

yung villin refuses to stop dropping mixtape after mixtape while reppin his city to the fullest with tracks like "gotta get it" featuring the soulful singer sincere grant. grant is the only r&b singer from the streets that i know that can sing with the likes of anthony hamilton while smoking a black on stage. the boy got talent. (reverbnation.com/yungvillin reverbnation.com/sinceregrant)

as for the female rappers, eddye k is not afraid to challenge a man's sexuality in her single "enough" with a style similar to lauren hill. by the way she has a video shoot at the el rodeo event center (the old "level") on wednesday, december 29th starting at 6pm. (reverbnation.com/eddyek)

mellokie does her own thing with more of a rasheeda flow. her single "top notch" let's you know she doesn't mind being the center of attention. (reverbnation.com/mellokie1way)

some might remember mz unique (no relation lol) from her 106th and park appearance on freestyle friday. i must admit, she has a bigger heart than i would have thought. fame or not, it doesn't mean a thing if it ain't about that green. check her out. i'm digging her track entitled "money freestyle". (reverbnation.com/mzuniquemusic)

other artists you might check out: j-friday, j.u.n.e., yung nasti, and kool-aid.

ya'll keep at it. i'm listening.

eagles escape

2010-12-24T17:51:00.003-06:00

i was under the impression he was trying to run out the clock. i know he's done some dumb stuff but this was showing the maturation of a guy who has made some mistakes and i think his team should have waited until the whistle before they stormed the field. no matter what "shoulda, coulda, woulda" happened, the eagles won the game. i'm just sayin...

all about you

2010-12-21T23:20:00.004-06:00

jeremih's "all about you" features his hit single "down on me" but if you haven't picked it but by now, you've only experienced the tip of the iceburg. when it comes to love, there are many sictuations that lead to unexplained emotions and untold feelings...jeremih gives the ladies an insiders look to what the mind of a man is really like. aim to please. love then leave. certainly this album will "take off".

"baby we should let this curtain close
there is really nothing else that's left to show
it's like everytime you look we're starting over
baby, we done it too many times before
can't you see i had enough
all my love, maybe you didn't deserve it
acting like you're miss perfect
i'm manning up, standing up
cause i know you ain't been doing me right

you know i thought i had it all y'all
it seems that i'm wasting time
even though i've tried
guess i've done it all wrong

i wish that i
wish that i could help us
but i gotta take off, off, off
for once in my life
i gotta take off, off, off
it's time for me to break away..." (lyrics from "take off")

i definitely feel you on this one my dude.

thank you
for killing me
i'm not the man i used to be
after all this time
finally found out i'm alone
but there will be
no tears for yesteryear
i wear these scars
just to prove that i'm alive
i know it comes as a surprise
but thank you

blais

2010-12-21T18:26:00.006-06:00

-dallas, tx

what up peeps! we got another hot artist for you. he goes by the name of blais and he's hitting the music scene so hard that she is bound to start hitting back with a record deal. yeah, by the end of this you won't believe that he's still unsigned. he's currently managed by j.d. wilson management as he works on his album, pressing forward on his quest to be a household name. shout out to jasmine for hooking up this connect with me and blais. somebody let me borrow $5 million...i need to sign him real quick. anyway, before i introduce this beast, lemme make sure he's ready. blais?

“i swear to God that imma fight, like a boxer here tonight
i'mma spit this shit and give this shit, like Obama here tonight
i'mma own this shit and throw this shit, nolan ryan in the 9th
and i promise i'mma bomb it, like osama here tonight!” (blais)

whoa, whoa, whoa homie. that's enough free entertainment for now. let's chop it up real quick.

Dom: first of all, where does the name Blais come from?
Blais: well my name (which is my actual last name) comes from my french background. my father was black and my mother is italian and french. in america its pronounced (blaze) and in france its pronounced (blay).

Dom: you know there's some girl out there tapping her homegirl saying "i told you he wasn't half indian!" [haha]. okay, you hail from the great state of texas where everybody strives to "do it big". who or what motivates you to do it big?
Blais: i was actually born in NY, raised in VA. i came to texas four years ago where i started my solo career. i’ve been doing music since the age of 4 and of course some of the legends greats have always been an influence. although, my supporters are the ones that really motivate me the most.

Dom: i hear ya. shout out to the fans that hold us up! a lot of the biggest artists come out of texas. what makes you different?
Blais: well i'm not trying to follow the "in crowd". not saying that's what texas does but i feel a lot of artists all around try to be something they are not. my music really reflects me as a person.

Dom: where do you draw your inspiration?
Blais: my greatest inspiration was and still is michael jackson. besides God, i give praise and owe everything to [mj]. he sparked my love for music and entertainment. i also love artists like buddy holly, prince and john lennon. the greats.

Dom: that's a 80's baby line up [haha] them youngings have no idea! now who in the game do you admire?
Blais: hmm admire? i dont think i admire anyone in this day but i do think kanye is genius along with r. kelly. oh and another up-and-coming artist who is really dope is bei maejor.

Dom: i admire keri hilson. still waiting for her to call me. i read that you write music for the r&b group "3AM". how many different projects do you have your hand in?
Blais: i have quite a few that i am working on. i really love to work with singers. one project i am very proud to be working on is jordan sparks. i'm currently finishing up a song for her.

Dom: nice! that's quite an accomplishment. ya'll look out for that. i listened to your track "come". it's hot and it seems to have a prince flavor to it. how did you come up with the concept?
Blais: thank you. prince was definitely a huge influence with this song. i wanted to make something for the clubs but i also wanted to bring that old feeling back. that feel good, "letting a woman know how much she is wanted without being so blunt while being blunt" music [laughs].

Dom: you know what, we oughtta make that a new genre of music. album coming soon. what can we expect?
Blais: you're going to get ME...a man who cherishes his mother, loves women, and my ambition for music.

Dom: name a few collaborations you've been involved in.
Blais: man! i have a real sick track called "love it/hate it" with snow tha product. i produced the track and laid down the hook, sent it to her and she blessed me with some heat. also my single "make my heart go boom" features my dude steve soulja. he sung an amazing hook and did the second verse also. working on a few others that will have to be a surprise. [winks]

Dom: oh yeah that just sets up another exclusive right here on the blog so peeps stay tune for that. what is your favorite track that you have either performed, produced, or written for either yourself or someone else and why?
Blais: i would have to say my song "something2some1". i feel this is my greatest love song because i broke it down so simple but it meant so much.
"i rather have you cry from the truth, then smile from lie
and i don’t want to think what it could’ve been,
i would love the thought that we tried..." (lyrics from "something2some1")
like i said, simple but it means so much.

Dom: that's wussup. your youtube account features a verse you recorded on Nicki Minaj's "right thru me". how did that come about?
Blais: just something for me and her supporters. i think they enjoyed that one.

Dom: i know i did. i went home quoting you. you know it's bad when the convo starts off "you keep, you keep tripping like you the victim"...but i digress [haha]. if you had a mic that spoke to the world, what would you say? in other words, what does the world need to know about Blais?
Blais: i breathe music…i bleed music…

make my heart go boom - blais ft steve soulja

well blais, it's been a pleasure. this is the part where we tell folks to tell a friend becoz you have earned the Dom seal of approval. take a bow bruh.

b payne tha rapper part 3

2010-12-18T20:33:00.004-06:00

-orlando florida

another exclusive!!! checking in with brandon "b payne" payne to get the "new new" about his adventures and learn more about his street team. let's get to it!!!

Dom: aight payne, so word is you have a few projects in the works. what's the first thing you got coming up?

BPayne: well i got my 2nd annual concert at a local orlando club named SCOOP Bar and Grill on Saturday, January 22nd.

Dom: thas wussup. how did that come about?

BPayne: well they say hard work doesn't go unnoticed. i grinded hard last november after the release of my first official mixtape "ThA.CravE" and the right ears heard it. gained some contacts with club owners, mainly my boy Mike Irene, who basically opened to doors. There was such a good turnout at the first show in January 2010 that i decided to do it again, but bigger and better.

Dom: okay okay. i guess the fans gotta see it to believe it. i'm sure #TeamPayne is all over that one right?

BPayne: haha YESSIR. "man i love my team, i would die for these niggas ahhhhhhh" [Drake voice lol). nah, but really, #TeamPayne is now my backbone.

Dom: ‎for those who don't know, what exactly is #TeamPayne?

BPayne: alright #TeamPayne is my basically my ride or die appointed fans that have banded together to stop at nothing to ensure my success. it feels so good to know that i have impacted souls so much that they are dedicated to help the way they are. i appreciate all of them so much. the head of the team (under me) is my #2 fan Lea Thompson. the team was basically her idea and she does what she has to do to help. shoutout to the other members though. that's my dudes Derek and Melvin, and my beautiful ladies Andrea, Ingrid, Stacy, Michelle, Yavi, my sister Tonya, my United Kingdom member Leonie, and the newest recruit Atarah. I love all yall and appreciate the support so much.

Dom: gotta show love to those that show you love. it's been a minute (since october) since the mixtape dropped and we last did a spot for the blog. talk to me about the success of the last mixtape.

BPayne: Yo that shit blew the FUCK up. For most of the members of the team, #LightSwitch was the first thing they heard from me. They grew love for my music cuz my love for it was shown through that mixtape. Its still getting checked out all around. Even in the UK. Definitely a big success.

Dom: from FLA to the UK. what a difference a year makes. what's next for bpayne?

BPayne: global domination [haha] no joke though. i'm coming for everybody iPod, iTunes, ears, hearts and all. me and my team are making it to the top no matter what anybody thinks. january is our month, 2011 is our year. #TeamPayne or stay broke.

Dom: as long as you stay in touch with your favorite writer. i gotta retire one day hahaha i'm just saying.

BPayne: yo you are now encrusted with the B.Payne seal of approval. #TeamPayne fucks with you for good now bredrin.

ya'll my witnesses! i shall retire by next year. b payne the pressure is on! haha regardless, you still have a home on the blog fam!

thing...
remember we had one?
it didn't turn out
coz we each did our own thing.
remember that one thing
we said we shoulda did?
maybe we was talking like kids.
then there's that bigger thing
that probably would have happened
if we pursued our thing;
there was a lot of passion
for it to be nothing.
that would have made our thing
unforgettable.
we still joke like we got a thing,
and say if we ever had a brief moment,
we would do that little thing
even though we got our own things.
aint that something?
but if we don't act, then it's nothing.
in that sense,
we're okay
each going our own way
but i would still like to experience
that little thing with you
someday.

300 women that'll say "i'll take care of you",
i changed way too much just to stay with you.
just to stay with who?
a slouching nobody.
you said you had my back,
i fell on nobody.
avoiding every mirror
coz i don't feel myself,
everyday is no shave
coz otherwise i'd kill myself.
i ask myself all the time, "is it worth it bro?"
hear my conscience talking to me
through the radio.
hear my mama yelling at me
when she on the phone,
saying "you know better than that"
do i really though?
well now this might be a newsflash,
but from this day forward,
you can kiss my ass,
becoz i always said
i'll only change for the better,
keeping a promise to you
aint worth my forever,
so move around...

sucky sex tips

2010-12-10T23:14:00.004-06:00

so i'm flipping through this magazine, bored out of my mind and i come across these sex tips that are supposed to put the guy in the mood. the worse tips are coming from people with phd's.

sucky tip #1: "run your feet and toes up and down his legs, dragging your toenails lightly against his skin as you go." (ladies i dare you to put your feet on your man without getting kicked)

sucky tip #2: "wear a long necklace so it tickles his chest when you lean forward during girl-on-top." (let's talk this one out. naked girl-on-top. during sex. do you really think a guy needs to be tickled with a necklace?)

sucky tip #3: "over his boxers, put your open mouth against his penis. breathe out like you're trying to create steam." (wtf?)

sucky tip #4: "have sex with your hair wet, and whip it around to shower him with droplets of water." (why so i can feel like i'm having sex with a wet dog?)

sucky tip #5: "lick his eyelids, and then blow on your saliva." (uh...)

other sucky tips included: biting his nipples (no go), armpit insertion (weird), licking behind his knee (really?), oral from behind (didn't mike epps say something about that?), and foot jobs (pointless).

look...forget all the games coz ain't nothing like the real thing. i'm jus sayin.

nice guy vs the jerk part 2

2010-12-09T21:20:00.003-06:00

update***
remember the nice guy scenario i gave in the last blog? well come to find out, there was a reason for the way the chick was treating my friend...there was another guy. but instead of being an adult and coming out and saying "hey, i'm boning someone else so i'm gonna agitate the gravel", she decided to drag it out until she left her phone in the livingroom while she went to bed like a "not smart female dog" (for lack of a better phrase) and the new boyfriend sent a late night text message. hubby found out and in a time like that, she's fortunate that he kept his cool becoz in the heat of the moment, there is a few battered women out there that experienced physically what the guy was feeling emotionally. i didn't say i condone it, but i can understand the rage. i'm just sayin...
*in short, if you're gonna do something like that to someone that doesn't deserve it, you should either prepare yourself for the consequence, or be adult/resepectful/considerate enough to let them know and let them be.

runaway

2010-12-02T15:59:00.008-06:00

welcome to class ladies and gents. i see a few people weighing in on kanye's film "runaway" on twitter but none that i've seen have really talked about the depth of metaphorical expression conveyed throughout the whole thing. at face value it seems to be about a failed love-life between a man and a phoenix. but what about everything else in the film? here's my opinion.

part 1:
first we see kanye in his fast car driving in fast flashy car until he reaches the phoenix that crash landed in front of him. he takes her home and shows her around.

my take on part 1:
listening to kanye's past albums, we know that he has expressed that his road to fame has always been lonely. the fast car represents his life in the fast lane as a celebrity. along the way, i couldn't help but notice that he passed up a lot of female deer; a peaceful animal at best that could easily represent "the good girls". then suddenly he meets a phoenix that "sets his world on fire" and he can't help but take her home.

"first rule in this world baby, don't pay attention to anything you see in the news." (runaway)

this line struck me on the level as if he was preparing her for what the media may say about him; the rumors and lies. from there we cut to a scene where kanye is creating the "power" instrumental as the phoenix is seen dancing to the beat of his drum, so to speak. their vibe becomes one and she openly accepts him. the parade to me represents everything that makes kanye tick. he shows the kid side of him, tells of his inspirations (michael jackson), his guardian angels (grandmother and mother) and his past that he knows he can't run away from but openly accepts. the fireworks brings out the kid in him causing him the smile for the first time in the film. all the while, the phoenix is sharing these moments with him.

part 2:
the dinner party.

my take on part 2:
just before the dinner, kanye takes the time to prep the phoenix so she can "fit in" with the crowd; showing her how things are done in his world. at dinner, the phoenix gets a lot of looks. it's apparent she doesn't belong but kanye doesn't seem to care.

"'your girlfriend is really beautiful.'
'thank you.'
'do you know she's a bird?'" (runaway)

more correctly a phoenix but on the street, a bird is a bird is a bird. i noticed that after that quote, kanye paused for a bit and then performed "runaway" where it seems he was explaining that on some level he's doing some things that she really wouldn't approve of. furthermore, i think he realizes that at some degree he's just like the other people there. another thing i noticed was the ballerinas dressed in black and yet everyone at the party was dressed in white. the significance of that to me is, those at the party dressed in white (and the phoenix) are people living in the present and the ballerinas are simply a picture that kanye is painting about the women in his past (thus they are dressed in black). the interpretive dancing by the ballerinas as opposed to the traditional ballet confirmed to me that this was the case. the movements were more vibrant, sensual, and sexual at times. some of the featured dancers with solos seemed to be "on-again-off-again" girlfriends; pulling him back. the dinner guests seemed to be oblivious to the fact that kanye was taking a shot at them in the song. the turkey scene where the phoenix screamed to me was a realization that relatively being a bird was not fitting for his lifestyle. she would end up with a raw deal.

part 3:
the breakup.

my take on part 3:
life with kanye becomes seemingly unrealistic and unattractive for the phoenix. she slowly retracts from him emotionally and confirms it with what equates to the dreaded talk.

"all of the statues that we see...are phoenix turned to stone...do you know what i hate most about your world? anything that is different, you try to change. you try to tear it down. you rip the wings off the phoenix and they turn to stone. and if i don't burn, i will turn to stone." (runaway)

simply put and explained, anything that doesn't fit, he tries to make fit. the key phrase to me and theme of this whole video is "your world". the center of his world being his career, it seems that everything takes a backseat; competing for second place. thus, forcing things to fit his lifestyle without sacrifice ends up being the reason for the breakup. he tries to keep them together and she obliges him for a moment yet she eventually gains the strength to leave him. note that she has a chest plate at the end of the film (something she had not worn initially) as she tries to protect her heart from kanye.

watch the film here

overall, i loved it. it was a genius way to bring attention to his album. i can't help but notice that a few of the songs make references to hell, demons, and the devil himself but he did say that this album was meant to be dark so in that sense they seem appropriate.
the moral behind the film? simply put, you can't turn a "bird" into a housewife...i'm just saying.

suffocating like i'm sleeping undercover,
to you the solution might be simple
but i can't do it with my hands tied.
what we feel is unspeakable,
sometimes unexplained,
but whenever i'm alone,
i can feel your mind sending vibes to mine.
a thousand miles away,
yet you can feel it in the air
whenever we have a conversation;
how dare you make my world smaller?
it's like i'm almost afraid
of what it would be like to touch you;
never thought that i'd see heaven so young
but i'll surely die in your arms.
"don't ever take the present for granted"
easier said then done,
but procrastination brings me closer
to my date with death.
with that haunting thought,
i'd rather an indiscretion define my life
than to live meaninglessly and unsatisfied.
forgetting life as it is,
i strive to what it should be
changing who i am to what i could be...
hopelessly in love.

The law allows for an abandoned spouse to sue the party responsible for the failed marriage."

criminals compete?

2010-11-23T15:37:00.002-06:00

"St. Louis overtook Camden, N.J., as the nation's most dangerous city in 2009, according to a national study released Sunday.
The study by CQ Press found St. Louis had 2,070.1 violent crimes per 100,000 residents, compared with a national average of 429.4. That helped St. Louis beat out Camden, which topped last year's list and was the most dangerous city for 2003 and 2004." -Associated Press

i just thought the highlighted line indicates an organized effort by criminals in every city to make their city the most dangerous city in america. like it was a known competition or something. i'm jus sayin...

ya boy money militia

2010-11-21T14:24:00.006-06:00

-dallas, tx

this time we have a treat from the streets. the prodigy of king of kings records: ya boy money militia. we all are familiar with the phrase "from rags to riches" but, we'll see just how one man accomplished just so with hard work and determination. let's get into it. how about we let the people know what's good? you ready?

"i was lost in the streets, it didn't amount to nothing, i'm just a traveling man, running from my past troubles...if you ask me if i'm ready, i'ma tell you let's go." - ya boy money (lyrics from "i'm ready" freestyle)

in and out of juvenile detention centers. living on the streets at age fifteen. surrounded by pimps, prostitutes, and drugs. altogether, it spells the recipe of inevitable disaster; namely prison or death. money, however, weathered the storm (so to speak) and went on to become a legit entrepreneur. at 19 he opened a nightclub. later he franchised 3 t-mobile stores and ultimately became a diamond broker. through all of these business dealings, he brushed shoulders with the likes of many and his associates eventually convinced him to tell his story via song. enough from me, let's get it from money himself.

"got a couple things that i wanna let you know, if i let you in promise you won't tell a soul..." - money militia (lyrics from "u girl")
i can't promise that. lol i got a lot of readers. shall we continue?

Dom: first of all i wanna thank you for taking time out to answer these questions. i think we all are about to receive a life lesson in the true meaning of the word hustle. i read over your brief bio and it seems you learned early to make something from nothing. what was your motivation behind your drive if you didn't have the support of others?
ybmm: i always had a belief it was easy. i didn't see others on it but i always wanted it no matter what it took. [haha] now eventually, i found out it wasn't too easy but everything i went through just moulded me, my real motivation that made me continue was to help those around me who were in worse situations.

Dom: that's what's up. there are many brothers out there that, given the same circumstances, would still be in the streets today if not dead or in jail. how did you make the transition from the streets to entrepreneurship?
ybmm: i watched all my pa'tnas die or get locked up. i knew eventually things i was doing wouldn't last after being in jail 28 times. i was then treading a thin line. the wrong move would [hinder] me and i no longer wanted that life.

Dom: a lot of people, including myself, say they use life as their fuel for their craft. is the same true for you? explain.
ybmm: aww yeah. my life and lives i've witnessed. everything i've lived through has been an educational lesson, which i can now give to others to use as they would like.

Dom: what made you want to become a lyricist and how long have you considered yourself as such?
ybmm: i don't think i've ever had a boring moment [haha]. friends and business partners always told me if i put my life on the beat, i'd be successful. guess they were right. i recorded my first song around four years ago.

Dom: nice. now how does "ya boy money militia" compare to bernard nuar? (for example an alter ego, personality, or an expressionist for bernard nuar)
ybmm: uh, i'm ME. i guess my alter ego is me going from being happy to me being mad then you'll see a switch.

Dom: i bet [haha] getting to the album "hustle and flow", from the listed tracks available, you have some hott collabos including diamond and lil keke. how did that come about?
ybmm: being at the right place at right time, i guess, and them feeling what i got. also diamond and me share the same manager so it's easy to get a hold of dorrough, diamond, or the gs boyz. we fam.

Dom: that's what's up. hard question: what is your favorite track on this album?
ybmm: what you wanna do.

Dom: wasn't so hard after all [haha]. how did you come up with the concept for "u girl"?
ybmm: i saw this bad chick at the mall and i straight up told her what i wanted to do and she fell for it.

Dom: gotta love the ladies. and the game. any past body of works like mixtapes, albums that we should know about since 2006?
ybmm: "Hustle and Flow vol.1 DJ DROP" and "Hustle and flow vol.2 Princess Kut (TX $hit)"

Dom: any shows in the near future?
ybmm: dec 2nd at texas a&m. (for tickets to that show, go to http://moneymilitia.ticketleap.com/jinglejam/)

Dom: any shoutouts/message for the people reading this blog post?
ybmm: Stay tuned, you 'bout to hear one the best tapes ever:

promize

2010-11-19T18:18:00.003-06:00

-Greenfield, MA

the moon sets and the sun rises on the band that gives you a "reason for expectation"; promize. these alternative rockers pride themselves on their dark music as their lead singer translates what they are trying to convey with their instruments. with decades of collective musical experience, promize offers a complete sound that has been shared with the world for a while; you just might not have known it. albums, rolling stone magazine, and even movie soundtracks have all had the privilege of bearing the promize name and sound. and now, it's time to give you a quick run down of this six (sometimes seven) member band:

shelby taranto: lead vocals
dave manning: drums (leader)
rob sweeney: keys and effects
pete mcewan: bass and backing vocals
jon zera: guitars
kelly baraban: guitars and backing vocals
rich p: special guest guitarist (touring guitarist)

collective influences:
Deftones
Tool
Zed Zeppelin
Perfect circle
Filter
Chris Cornell
Jeff Buckley
Rush
Dave Matthews
Soundgarden
Smashing Pumpkins
Stone Temple Pilots
John Paul Jones
Stanley Clark
Geddy Lee
Lee Sklar
Radiohead
Alice in Chains

the band's latest album features "unholy"; a sure hit and a band favorite according to shelby. furthermore, on their climb to ultimate success, the band turned down a record deal with sony! however crazy as it might seem, promize is currently in talks with a major label. that's where jon boy zera comes in as he answers questions on behalf of the band.

Dom: what hurdles have hindered you from being where you want to be already?
Jon Boy: there are many hurdles any band must endure to survive on a daily basis. getting along with one another can be one of the biggest hurdles to overcome. in order to survive, everyone in the band has to be able to get along and work with each other. you need to have the same goals, be on the same page and you must have mutual respect for each other. with promize we all get along very well, we have respect for one another and we’re all striving towards the same goal. it’s important to assign one band member as the leader and have trust and faith in that leader to make the right moves. when you have a band and each member wants to play boss and be in charge you’re doomed.

Dom: i agree. that's very important. what are your proudest accomplishments as a group?
Jon Boy: standing outside of a venue waiting to go on stage we heard our song, "unholy" come on national radio. being featured in rolling stone magazine would be a close second.

Dom: very nice! you've done so much already. signing a major record deal: is that a peak, plateau, or new beginning?
Jon Boy: it’s the next chapter for us and what we’ve been working all our lives for.

Dom: a new chapter indeed. you've performed quite a bit. what do you think is the craziest thing to happen during/after one of your performances (including crazy fans)?
Jon Boy: where do i begin…we’ve seen fans have promize tattoos all over their body including one guy with the p, r, o, et cetera tattooed on each knuckle. we played an outdoor festival once and the stage was struck by lightning! we’ve had people streak across the stage naked, few fans fainted while signing autographs for them. one guy purposed to shelby after a show. it’s all good fun though. we love our fans.

Dom: and they love you [haha]. what advice do you have for artists that are looking to get signed?
Jon Boy: getting signed is like winning the lottery. there are plenty of amazing bands out there who have worked hard for years and will always be overlooked by labels and there are others who just got lucky. with the internet being so huge these days, in order to increase your chances and exposure it’s important to promote the hell out of yourself by using the internet. we still spend 14+ hours a day, 7 days a week self promoting anywhere and everywhere we can online. you got to work hard at it and promote, promote, promote. if getting signed were easy everybody would do it.

Dom: in other words network, network and when you're done with that network some more. jon boy, thank you for taking time to answer these questions on behalf of promize! i wish you all the best on this potential new record deal!
Jon Boy: thanks, dom.

shelby, dave, rob, pete, jon, kelly and rich...you have earned the Dom seal of approval!

nice guy vs the jerk

2010-11-17T15:34:00.003-06:00

chivalry. courteous and generous behavior towards women. something that every woman looks for right?
so they say.

"chivalry is dead and women killed it!" - dave chappelle (killin' them softly)

even though that phrase has a comedic tone, he makes a truthful point. there is no hope for the nice guy anymore. a friend of mine is going through a rough one right now. married the love of his life. super nice guy. he's a guy around guys, and mush around his woman. he goes out the way for his woman on a daily basis and now she wants to call things off for what? boredom? nope they travel. he's cheating? nope. too soft for that. he mistreats her? nope. i said he's a nice guy! then why? she never gives the same reason twice. how about counseling? he tried. she refused. hmm...we'll come back to this story. my theory? follow me:

women love jerks...there i said it. how come it's the guys that treat women like crap the ones they never want to let go. doesn't make sense but i have somewhat of an understanding. i think on some level, we all lose an appreciation for what we have, thus the saying "you don't know what you have til it's gone". when a guy becomes a jerk, it's as if he is "taking away" the things that the woman appreciates most which makes the woman in the relationship "submit" or "cling" to the guy in fear of "losing everything". in short, women rather have a jerky boyfriend than no boyfriend.

why are women more attracted to a jerk than a sweet, nice guy?

the answer is complicated because they are and yet they aren't. there is a "nice" attribute that attracts women, but even though a jerk reveals himself as a jerk later on, women make the mistake of excusing the jerk's actions by saying "he's not always like that". then, the nice guy (who seems to do all the right things), although sincere, has absolutely no chance becoz it is now assumed that he has a hidden agenda. it's a vicious cycle.

back to the scenario with my friend:
he was pulling insight from everywhere. but when he came to me, i told him to be a straight asshole. straight up. result? he finally pushed back, stiffened his neck, and rose above her nonsense and NOW she wants to work towards making things work.
women, defend yourselves...what's up with that?!?

this is an ongoing topic that needs to be discussed. please, chime in. leave lots of comments. we are looking for everyone's point of view. even if you're a jerk. i'm just saying...

singa bromfield

2010-11-15T05:59:00.010-06:00

at&t commercials started it but drake made it cool by putting it on a mixtape. i'm talking about putting three cities together like houstatlantavegas. musically it's common to hear a hip-hop and r&b artist, but a jazzacoustichiprock artist? what's up with that? we'll check in with a cat that goes by the name of singa bromfield for the answers. before we do that, let me tell you a little about him before he has the chance to say "google me".

don't let the pic fool you. he's just trying to get his hip-hop on. this soft spoken musician that hails from memphis (born in d.c.) has been on a mission to bring forth what he calls 'beautiful music'. in a video interview "how it all began....", bromfield explains how he first fell in love with the guitar.

"i started off playing violin, and...that really wasn't really [working well] for me. i was watching austin city limits and saw little dudes on stage playing guitar and i said 'that's going to be me'. so i got a kleenex box and some rubber bands and a [papertowel roll] and i just made me a guitar...and i just got serious with it for real..." - singa bromfield

outside of God, bromfield credits music as his life's motivator to keep going. and now, we are in the wake of hearing singa's first hip-hop mixtape entitled "no feelings". hmm...it's time for me to take this interview to the next level...

Dom: so, singa, first off the name. we know you're a singer. sometimes in the shower, i'm a singer. what made you choose the name singa?
Singa B: well my real name is nrsimha (ner-sing-ah) and everyone calls me singa for short, so i just ran with it.

Dom: easy enough. i checked out your ning page and i listened to your covers of chris breezy and nick jonas. i was jamming with you a little bit [haha]. any reason why you chose those two artists?
Singa B: it's funny because while i was attending college (art institute of nashville) people would ask me to sing a "regular" song and i only knew my originals, so i figured i'd learn a song with a cool meaning or message (who i am) and one that the ladies could vibe to (take you down).

Dom: gotta do one for the ladies. in your "how it all began..." video interview, you mentioned that music and God is the only thing that keeps you going. why is music so important to you?
Singa B: music and life goes hand and hand. of course it's a stress reliever, but also it is a talent that was purposely given to me. so i feel that i have to insinuate my philosophy on life's persona to inform people to live life "jetted".

Dom: i like that. what would you say your comfortable vocal range is?
Singa B: well naturally i'm a tenor/baritone, but i can comfortably slide into the alto area [haha].

Dom: i hear ya. i can hit mariah carey notes in the car when i'm by myself [haha]. a lot of crossover artist out there. vocally, who would you compare yourself with? we all do it so don't say you don't [haha]. i was usher when the "confessions" album came out.
Singa B: [haha]... ummm i guess i say like a john mayer crossed with like baby face and or brian mcknight type thing.

Dom: now you were on tour this past summer. how did that turn out and whom did you tour with?
Singa B: well the plan was to do a domestic tour around the states, but instead i did a few shows here then flew out to the islands and did a show with the youth choir of trelawny, jamaica. so collectively the "tour" was cancelled.

Dom: it'll come in time. being a singer, do the ladies show you mad love, wanting you to sing them something?
Singa B: [haha] well it's always good putting a smile on the ladies faces and getting the "just one more" requests. so it's cool knowing that ladies enjoy my sound.

Dom: "late night jam session" has a bounce that of "feel good" music. what that your intention? explain how you came up with that concept?
Singa B: well i wrote that song in the theme of how songs would come to me and how i am and jamming out with other musicians while people just groove to my tunes. i'm not familiar to the "feel good" music reference, but it was intended to make you dance, snap, or how every you jam. so feeling good sounds like it will fit.

Dom: exactly. now the mixtape. what can we expect?
Singa B: well currently i'm working on a new album entitled "on the road" which is scheduled to release in the spring of 2011. so i felt that i shouldn't limit myself from expressing my thoughts, whether it's spoken word, singing, et cetera. so using rap, singing and my guitar, i wanted to let my fans and listeners understand my stories of journeys through life.

Dom: what's next for singa bromfield and what do we need to know about you?
Singa B: after the release of NO FEELINS, i'll continue to do more collaborative projects and shows throughout the country. dates of shows will be posted by new years, so hopefully people will like what i bring to the table and that will take off.

Dom: leave us with a few words for the people out there.
Singa B: never doubt yourself! if you feel like you want to be someone of something that defines your spirit, expressing yourself or 'making your mark', GO FOR IT!

singa on ning
singa on reverbnation
follow singa on twitter

that's right. go for it! and i'm sure we haven't heard the last of singa so ya'll stay tuned for more from this jazzacoustichiprock artist. by the way singa, don't let nobody take my phrase. i'm the first to call you that! i'm just saying..."NO FEELINS" mixtape dropping today at 10 a.m. eastern time! cop that today in support of singa! singa bromfield, you know the drill. take a bow, you have earned the Dom seal of approval.

slim goody

2010-11-11T14:44:00.007-06:00

hey peeps. this segment of six degrees takes us to broken arrow where a 26-year-old rapper by the name of slim goody lets us know why we should be telling people about him. you know how i do. let's drop in on slim goody.

"got my own swagger, i will never jock, my stomach hurts, so i guess i gotta take another drop.." slim goody (an excerpt from "slimtro")

Dom: who is slim goody and what is the meaning behind your name?
slim: slim goody is a inspired artist/composer (anybody with a software and keyboard call themselves producers nowadays). i'm a musician first. i got the name "slim" while in atlanta, it was a name everybody seem to call me at every job i worked. i liked it, and because i hate my government name so much, i ran with it. now no one knows my real name, they only know "slim". job supervisors, associates, managers and all. "goody" came from a artist by the name of "mike slim" from baton rouge, louisiana. we were in group called "1st born" in 2004. he always said i had "the goods". he wanted his name to be goody but thought it fit me well for some reason. every time he'd see me, which was everyday....he would shout "get 'em goody". that's where slim goody comes from. the beginning of my atlanta life also started me off with a new name.

Dom: nice. where are you from originally?
slim: i was born and raised on the westside of chicago.

Dom: okay, okay. it looks like you've been doing some traveling around the u.s. and now you're in oklahoma. have you checked out any of the local talent? there are some good ones out there. if so, who would you work with?
slim: yeah. my girlfriend libido ink is from oklahoma. we met at my georgia studio in riverdale back in 04. she's my only affiliation for being here. there are a lot of good talent here, i agree. (www.reverbnation.com/silentassassins918). brandon stevens (alex b) was by far one of the coldest r&b artist from oklahoma until his unfortunate murder. people like super j, j friday, stacks and paccman (two productively skilled people)...lil hennessy, yung villian and 3 minds pretty nice. tre k got it for the club dance music, but my girl "libido ink" smashing all of 'em. not just saying it because of her title, but that beyonce/gaga/rhianna swag, she handling rappers out here! i like the freestylers out here more than the artist that's "somebody". i'd like to work with "l peezy", (ill with the bars). hawaii jones, swagg 101, a young group that sound like they been around at least 5 yrs. i'll put money on those boys. and the few i named earlier just for the buzz.

Dom: you just named half of oklahoma just now [haha]. what do people need to know about slim goody?
slim: slim goody is "somebody i think you should know". with my partner "libido ink", we r a walking hit-factory! songwriting/production + perfect vocals = instant placement $$$$$

Dom: i hear ya. so who in the game inspires you?
slim: the people that inspire are t.i., twista, kanye west, shawnna, the Whole def jam squad, and grand hustle.

Dom: that's a good list. now, sceanario: you have just signed to a major label and it's time to piece your album together. name your top five features you have to have on your album.
slim: t.i., rick ross, twista, snoop, and messy marv.

Dom: you got cats from all over on your fav five. now what bodies of work do you have out there for people to listen to? any original (meaning non-mixtapes)?
slim: i have four compilations out in atlanta that i'm the main feature on. "the takeova, dem 44 boys, da new beginning and goodfellas" all under jas44 records CEO derrick lewis. i have a mixtape and and two albums done here in oklahoma. self titled "silent assassins", interstate music whom universal wants to distribute, and solo album "mavarick" which was just looked at by warner bros today. I've produced three full albums here in oklahoma. "interstate music" (silent assassins), "maverick" (slim goody) "libido" (libido ink) and formed two groups: silent assassins and swagg 101. every album/compilation i've been featured on are produced or co-produced by myself.

Dom: that's what's up! what would be your signature track/single?
slim: my signature track would be "thrown by the wind". which can found on my myspace page: www.myspace.com/slimgoody44.

Dom: what have you accomplished in your career thus far?
slim: accomplishments i've achieved in the game so far is wisdom for one. knowing my place and accepting my role at the time. connections to the people that can get me where i want to be. overall understanding on how to do you but still do "them".

Dom: any near future/distant goals?
slim: of course...you should aways have a goal. my one and only is to have a million dollars in a account for my daughter before she turns 10. everything and everybody else will be okay if i can get that done.

Dom: i feel you on that. what's next for slim goody?
slim: i was planning on heading back to atlanta next summer, but this meeting today with warner bros might be steering me to l.a. libido's down for whatever, and moms is in san diego...so it looks like God is working it all into motion. that's all i can trust. i know my plans, but i never know his.

Dom: amen. last question. what message/shoutouts for the people reading this blog?
slim: i want to shout out EVERYBODY that checked out the blog on "slim goody". i'm just as hungry as you, the difference is...i don't mind sharing, i know where to get more!

slim goody on reverbnation

and there you have it peeps. hunger and grind. two attributes i respect in everyone. slim goody, take a bow. you have earned the Dom seal of approval. even though you have 799 shoutouts haha just kiddin.

dom,
omg i feel terrible! i got a gig in california this past weekend and while in town i decided to hit a party that my friend was throwing. long story short, i get sick, need somewhere to crash and my ex girlfriend just happens to be at the party. i'm thinking, "cool okay. just crashing til i leave town in the morning." so we head back to her place, i crash (in her bed) and go to sleep. she wakes me up about 10 that night wanting me to have sex with her. did i mention she knows i'm with someone else? bad move for even being there but i was ill! anyway, i decline and go back to sleep, wake up in the morning, grab my things and head to the airport to go home. i check my phone this morning and i see pix of this naked chick i have no idea who she is! i look further and there's outgoing pix of a supposed lesbian named "alexis" from my phone! so i call my ex and she just laughs saying "i had to get some fun from somebody." wtf? so now there's a poor lesbian out there that she conned into sending naked pix in exchange for fake pix that thinks i'm some lesbian named alexis and on top of that she has my phone number! this is not a good day...
>mike b.

mike,
hopefully she will understand. that's really all i can say. oh yeah, stay away from your ex! she's bad news...i'm just saying.

mary rose - back again!

2010-11-05T10:45:00.007-05:00

truth is truth. mary rose is the queen of domunique.blogspot.com netting the most views of any blog post on the site.

"you take away my breath with every word you speak...so baby, tell me what this means..." - mary rose (from her single "what this means")

Dom: how does it feel to see yourself on the top of the charts?
mary: [haha] well, it does feel nice to know i'm topping the charts. i'm hoping to do that on an even larger scale someday!

Dom: i was just checking out your reverbnation page. what's new on there?
mary: reverbnation! i JUST joined reverbnation, after i had a few other artists recommend it. i like that you can connect facebook and twitter to it, plus the music streams and loads very fast on there. there is a new acoustic demo up, a new video, and some instrumental tracks that are remixes of my other songs up on there right now. since i just started using reverbnation, i'm still working on putting stuff up there, so hopefully in the future it'll have more songs and videos.

Dom: well welcome to reverb! i like the studio version of "what this means". what/who is the inspiration behind the song?
mary: well, "what this means" was produced and recorded with t-pain over the summer. actually, that's also posted on the reverbnation page. it was written about two years ago, about a relationship that i was in that i felt like i was responsible for ruining. as it turns out, it wasn't really anyone's fault- just wasn't meant to be. at the time, i was just trying to vent out all the emotions i was feeling and figure out what i wanted.

Dom: i hear ya. you can tell it's really heartfelt. you expressed what you were feeling really well. i see you have a couple of instrumentals on there as well. how much of that did you compose yourself?
mary: the instrumentals on the page are all composed by myself. i took over ten years of piano lessons before i taught myself to play guitar, so i'm able to read and write music. i have a program that allows me to tab out and score in any music i write, and then synthesize whatever instruments i want to play the music. i've been messing around with a lot of remixes using the chords and melodies i've written for other songs, and i think they have turned out pretty sick. i like to mess around with all the different genres, so being able to compose for basically any instrument is extremely helpful.

Dom: pretty sick indeed! somebody has mad skills! now, nappy boy update: what have you done since the last interview that you can share?
mary: well, i got back the song pain and i recorded (what this means) from the studio. i haven't had time to get back in the studio because of soccer season, but we ended our season yesterday so that's about to change. i actually was invited to t-pain's birthday party this year, and couldn't go because of school and soccer. that was probably the most depressing decision i've ever had to make [hahahaha]. i wanted to go SO BAD. but i've been showing pain my stuff, and [young cash] as well, and i'm looking forward to working and recording with them in the future. i'm graduating this spring, so the current plan is that then i'll get to focus completely on music.

Dom: that's what's up! so still unsigned? any talks in the works?
mary: still unsigned! i'm pretty content with where i am right now- i want to get my degree before i sign with anyone. but i'm confident that come spring '11 things will be different, and hopefully we will see signing in the near future.

Dom: good deal. i noticed your tweet about soccer. how did it end?
mary: ohhhhh, soccer. [Haha] let's just say it was a much less than desirable end to a VERY long and involved season. we lost in the semifinals for the d-1 ASUN conference. but as always, the bad comes with good: no more soccer means more time for music! so it wasn't too horrible, i suppose. i'm moving on to bigger and better things.

mary on reverbnation.com

my, my mary rose. after this one you're gonna have a lot of guys singing 'mary, mary, mary...holla at a g' to the tune of young cash's "baby baby baby"! (the world is mine mixtape) haha...by the way, shout out to young cash as he endures this tough sitcho he's facing. keep your head up bruh!

mary rose, you know what it is. you still got the Dom seal of approval! peeps you need to tell a friend now! right now. and show mary some love on here and on her reverb.

ifella, ifalla

2010-11-04T20:02:00.000-05:00

"timing has never been so perfect...like this before..." - ifella, ifalla (from the single "anything but")

i agree! it's time now to meet the new acoustic sensation that is ifella, ifalla. the duo hails from tulsa, oklahoma with josh douglas playing the guitar and kelly gateley as the lead vocalist. the band's fresh sound helps renew your love for music as it was when it had meaning. you can hear the innocence in 20-year-old gateley's voice. let's get to know them...

Dom: tell me a little about your group. when did you become a group?
ifella: well, we've only been together as a group for about four months.

Dom: how did you two meet?
ifella: we met on myspace, actually. we've been dating for about a year and a half now.

Dom: how did you come up with the name and what does it mean?
ifella: the name iFella, iFalla came from kelly stuttering. [haha] she was trying to tell a story about her falling and couldn't get the word "fell" out. so our name doesn't actually have a hidden meaning or anything.

Dom: clever, creative and funny! so in four months, what has been your biggest accomplishments thus far?
ifella: well, we haven't really accomplished much in that time. we are proud of the slight fanbase we have established on myspace and facebook though.

Dom: what is the first original song you two recorded?
ifella: the first song we recorded was "A City Named Tragedy" back when we were a three-piece. but as a two-piece, the first song we recorded was "Wide Eyes".

Dom: list the immediate and future goals of the group.
ifella: our main goal as a band is to share our love of music with the world, but our short-term goal would be to establish a local following.

Dom: any gigs coming up?
ifella: nope. no gigs anytime soon. we are waiting to further improve our sound and build a stronger setlist before we attempt to play for a crowd. hopefully in the near future we will have some locals shows though.

Dom: who influences you musically?
ifella: some of our musical influences are: He Is We, Bon Iver, The Scene Aesthetic, Mayday Parade, Kings of Convenience, Bright Eyes, City and Colour, and many many many more.

Dom: let's get to know you two a little bit. who is most likely to goof up on stage?
ifella: [hahaha] we are both prone to mess up when playing for people. and when one of us goofs, it makes the other goof as well.

Dom: karoke time. what would you sing and why?
ifella: just the two of us. only because it is bound to get some laughs.

Dom: bonnie and clyde. sonny and cher. big daddy and hit girl. what duo best describes you two and why?
ifella: wow. we never really thought about that. that's a tough one. the duo that best describes us would have to be paulie bleeker and juno macGuff.

Dom: life is a movie. what's the title of yours?
ifella: indie-pendence day. [haha]

Dom: good cop bad cop: who is the bad cop?
ifella: kelly is way too nice to be the bad cop. and i would have a blast yelling at a criminal.

Dom: who has the last word?
ifella: kelly definitely has the last word. its a woman's world. [haha]

check out ifella, ifalla here
well this time i'll have the last word! haha
take a bow ifella, ifalla. you have earned the Dom seal of approval.
