ABOVE AVERAGE 1 YEAR ANNIVERSARY @ BEDROCK NOVEMBER 1ST

Okay, I'm going in right here. If you didn't already know about this, BED ROCK 401 W. Baltimore Street is the place you need to be this Saturday November 1st, 2008. This isn't just a party this is a movement. The SS2N Mixtape also drops November 1st as well. We were going to wait until November 4th which is my actual birthdate but, we can drop whenever we feel like it.

Sooooooooooooo, November 1st it is....It's a Celebration B!tches....LOL -

Yep, I'm back with exclusives almost everyday. I think I have enough music right now to come out with a new mixtape every month until next summer. Hahahahahahaha, and I ain't got to put nobody on because ain't nobody ever put me on. ABOVE AVERAGE/PMG SS2N....Still got shit sewn. This is what networking is all about. Making shit work even when the climate ain't calling for people to spend money, buy cd's, and party. We're still doing what we do and I would hope ya'll do the same.

Oh yeah, I forgot shouts to my big homie Jazzy, you know I will be in the building at Ray Lewis's Full Moon on Mon. to bring my Birthday in the right way!

http://sharebee.com/aba3b067

I'm loving my life right now! Music is starting to become soooooooooo different and interesting. It doesn't matter to me who signs who because I'm going to continue to do what I do regardless. While ya'll continue to go right, I'm going to go left.This is one of the best songs T.I. could have ever picked for an album. I'm steady chasing that paper and I got not time for you haters.....wow!!!

Also, I had to take a picture of that letter I got from "Grand Hustle" earlier this year. I really want to know did that letter really come from Doug Peterson because I know T.I. did not hear what I sent him. Tom, you really think niggas ain't up on the computer game? LMAO!!!! Don't you forget, I am one of the reasons MySpace still exsists. I remember back in 06' artists didn't even have music pages like that. It might have been like 1,000 artist pages. Go back and look at your favorite artist on a major label's member since when date. You'll see what I'm talking about. For all you unsigned artists ya'll really believe someone is going to stop by your page and leave you a message to sign you. Hahahahahahahahaha!!!!

I got love for everybody who stops by and visit my myspace page, my website and blog. I have a lot on my plate and my mind right now. So this is the only way I can vent and speak the truth. More to come by the way. Stay tuned -

JAPIRO - SWAGGER LIKE PIRO

Embrace Your Inner Swagga

What is this new obsession with Swagga? Swagga has been around for some time now. Swagga was around before anybody knew what Swagga was. Swagga has been around since B.C.; as a matter of fact Swagga was C. Jesus Christ had Swagga!! Michael Jackson had Swagga before he messed his face up. Jay Z has Swagga. Anybody can have Swagga. Swagga is a universal thing.

In my opinion Swagga is Confidence. Swagga to me is that man that can wear jeans and a fresh white-T with some good smelling cologne. He doesn’t need flashy jewelry, lots of money or a fancy car, it’s all in the way he carries himself. On the other hand, Swagga can also be that man with the flashy car, designer clothes and jewelry; he knows he's the ‘ish and he doesn’t brag or boast about it…He just has that unassuming confidence.

Swagga is not trying so hard to be something that you are not.

Be Yourself. Be Swaggarific!

Yes, it's that time again! 27 is just around the corner for me so, that means I am going in on any and everybody and their records! Still Second To None is coming November 1st, 2008! You can pick your copy @ Bedrock and no, I am not giving them away. Gas & iPhones cost too much fuck!ng money to be giving music away for free to you mo-fo's...Lol

RANDOMNESS

The best two albums out right now in my opinion are The Recession & Paper Trail. Also, L.A.X. deserves an "Honarable Mention" for being decent.

If you haven't heard Kayne's - Heartless (Mastered Version) you definately need to here it. Definately a great single for a well anticipated album.

http://sharebee.com/e6786bcb

If you have not watched Chris Rock's comedy special on cable you need to watch that SHIT he really goes in.

I have about 8 days before my CD needs to be turned in to be duplicated. I'm not sweating it, I've had tougher things to do in my life....

Ray Victory's Birthday Celebration

T-PAIN - PR33 RINGZ MIXTAPE (FREE DOWLOAD)

http://sharebee.com/496f1704

I'm convinced this nigga is talented! I had to download this just off of the strength of the intro. I had to put this up for my nigga Tel. You got to go back and get both of his previous albums to respect him rapping. You have to understand music to be able to rhyme, sing, and produce. Point i.e. check out out "Like I Outta" T-Pizzle actually gives you his own rinditions of E-40, Shawty Lo, Soulja Boy, Young Jeezy, Rick Ross, & Lil' Wayne. He really did that shit right. Shit like this reminds you of why I fell in love with Hip-Hop.

BE THERE!!!

KEITH MURRAY - THE MOST BEAUTIFULLEST THING IN THIS WORLD

This video is the reason I want an 09' SC

2Pac - Brenda's Got A Baby

These two videos represent Hip-Hop in two different perspectives. One takes it back to pure skills and one tells a vivid story. What happend to music like this. Why does every record have to be a party record. You know they didn't care whether these songs would get play they just made music. That's exactly what I'm going to do. Stack a couple dollars just as if I had a deal on Koch...Lol, I'll take $5 to $10 dollars per disc while a nigga on a major is getting 15 cents. Hahahahahahahaha

If the publishing agencies get their way iTunes may be forced to throw in the towel. Stay tuned because people like me still buy cd's and I keep artists employed. So, even if you don't know or like "Willie Da Kid" SIDE-BAR (For The Love Of Money is CRAAAAAAAZY ILL) you should buy his shit because more people are going to download his shit than buy it. Shit is fucked up!!! Shit is sooooooooo fucked up!

So Fly Sundays!!!

Ray Victory - Jammen On The 1

CLICK ON NAME LINK ABOVE FOR SONG DOWNLOADS!!!

From time to time I run into artist after artist in my city of Baltimore. The ones who come to mind to most people are Skarr, Mullyman, Bossman, Caddy & Los just to name a few from my random surveys I've worked on the past few weeks. What about Ray Vic, Keyaira Chanel, Caddy Da Don, Al Great, Greenspan. These are all artists that push the envelope and are still developing. They refuse to give up and I admire they're hard work and efforts.

First and formost you need to pay attention right about now. Ray Victory was a dude whose music fell into my hands from a friend of a friend in 2002. Little did I know, we have pretty much the same stories in reference to music. We both came from working with 2 or 3 individuals and then branching out and creating our own movements. A few months back I remember him reaching out to me to see what's good just because niggas kept running into each other at shows. Then, it was just show after show, party after party, event after event, niggas kept that networking and crew love going so boom! We're like let's team up/squad up and make some noise. As time went on, I started to see how hard it was to break a record. The more and more I try help people break records I start to feel stagnant, almost as if I want to give up but, I can't. I would go to parties, do email blasts, hit malls, barbershops, text messages and then I was introduced to the BLOGGSITES! This is the most powerful thing an artist, writer, producer etc. can have. I was emailing blogsites everyday trying to figure out how to get my music on their without having to come out of pocket before they even listen. All that networking and politicking finally paid off.

I got my man on Onsmash.com in only one day! Shouts out to the kidLegend! Shouts to Dukeyman for that for giving Ray that banger. Now Baltimore has an opportunity to shine. All I can say is stay tuned Pizzle Muzik won't stop!!!! Holla at us.......

JAPIRO - ON MY GRIND (FREE DOWNLOAD)

SWAGGA LIKE US (P-MIX) COMING SOON!!! (STAY TUNED)

First and foremost, I would like to say thanks to all the people who inspired me to never give up on my dreams! Insert your name here: _____. I've spent countless years trying to convince A&R's, Producers, Record Labels, & tons off DJ's that I'm addicted to making music and I'm Hip-Hop 100%.

One day last December I woke up and I realized that I could do something better than just being an Artist/Producer. I've learned that over time I've evolved and matured into someone who sees the world completely different than I did when I started out 15 years ago. I remember when I used to enjoy just being at the studio writing and producing. Then, I became more interested in performing. After performing certain songs so many times as an artist you tend to get bored. Then, I began recording at a pace that was kind of insane for someone who worked damn near full-time and went to school. I used to sleep by the microphone!

Sometimes I feel like I've missed out on a lot of things in life just because I continue to dig away at what I believe is destined to be. I don't sleep half the time because I'm always thinking about my next move for my family, my neighborhood, and the culture itself needs help. I was blessed with so many talents that I would be wrong to God to give up because the right opportunity hasn't come yet. I can't help who I am. I thought I would of traveled this road at this point with a few more people but, I guess it's meant to be for me to carry the load. Most of the time all I find behind the boards is me 99% of time. Perfoming, it's me mostly me on stage alone......But you know what, I'm alright with that!

The funny thing is, it seems like you have to have a CD release party just to get a good crowd in Baltimore. I guess if that is what I have to do to bring the people out so be it! This is one of the toughest cities in America. If you can make it here, you can make it anywhere....Period! I have damn near 7 or 8 projects lined up and some people do not understand making mixtapes and albums ain't FREE. I may not have all the answers but, I read, I listen, and I grind. I associate myself with only people who inspire to aquire knowledge! From this day forth I will not be subject to any BS, stereotypes, or negativity. All of the let downs, dissatisfaction, and narrow thinking I've heard for so long helped me to turn the page on life.

I am proud to be the owner of my own label and I will no longer wait for someone to put me on and I hope you won't either...Don't worry I just put myself on and Baltimore I GOT YOU!!!

JAPIRO & RAY VIC PERFORMING AT THE BELVEDERE LOUNGE SUITE TONIGHT!!!

Tonight, you're basically getting two shows in one, JAPIRO & RAY VIC NUFF SAID!!!

I'M GOING IN...

First and foemost I would like to say I heard The Game's LAX songs at least one week before it dropped. I've heard 50% of Jeezy's album already but, I'm not mad. I'm going to tell you why I'm not mad anymore... Artist are learning how to market themselves without help from the label nowdays.
I dont give 2 or 3 fuck's if I hear a someone's album before it drops. If it's dope I'm still going to cop it. Until CD Depot, Best Buy, and Target (etc) stop selling cd's I'm going to make sure I still buy the physical cd. Niggas spend countless hours with ideas, concepts, and in studio time to make shit for the consumer. Then, people who are strictly downloaders or bootleggers never have official copies. Now, I can admit I don't bring my official cd's out the house anymore because I do not want to have to restore my collection of classic albums that I've bought more than twice such as Reasonable Doubt, Trap Muzik, Only Built For Cuban Linx, The Chronic, Life After Death and All Eyes On Me. Plus, the last two cd's mentioned are double discs. What the fuck I look like buying these $25 albums again. Fuck that, the point I'm trying to make is the artist doesn't eat off of your cd purchase. The Artist sees about 15-25 cents for every cd bought if they do not have a lot points for each sale per cd. For an artist going the independant route can either win big or get dropped because of the constant downloading.
Now, understand why I don't care about getting a Major Label Deal. It cost me $4.73 per cd the last go round for the 1st 50 cd's to test out Pizzlematic. Now if I get one-thousand units they only cost $1 per cd. Then, you still have to get a designer and hope all of the artwork fits the printing guidelines and parameters. As well as the audio needs to match the all the order displayed on the covers and inserts. Remember, you are the middle man supplying like 3 people. At that point that's when I said fuck it! If I buy every cd myself it costs 20 cents per disc, 20 cents per cd printed with my own thermal printer, and 20 cents per jewel case. So, it costs me 60 cents to do that per cd and if I want covers it may cost me a dollar per cd. This is better than selling weight! So, you mean to tell me I can sell 1 cd for $5 and make $4 back and at $10 make $9 back. Nicca, I'm in business. Even when I sell a cd @ $2 I'm still doing better than most rappers on labels. So, the game has changed and I guess I had to learn from countless years of not cutting out the middle man and others. Not to mention, I have digital distribution too. So, there's enough out here for us all to get!

I have that Jeezy Album already...got that on pause so, make sure you copp that on Tues. September 2nd, 2008
