Just a quick clip of me bangin’ on the ivories with Rev, Kev, & DJ Jonimal, plus Reality Jonez on camera.
Check out this article that HMV Online did on the release of my Japanese album, Bright Lights Palm Trees. Nah, I’m not rapping in Japanese (not yet, anyway), but I did do a song on the album with Mr. Low-D & YZ, two of my Japanese homies who spit in their native tongue. If you’re not in Japan and you want the album, don’t worry, The Hedonistic Album (coming March 2012) is basically the same project, the only difference being that I did a few bonus cuts for Bright Lights Palm Trees. Until then, check out the album cover and the link to the article:

WTF is untagged anyway? Actually, it’s what you guys have been asking for, so I had to deliver! It’s The Hedonistic Mixtape without any DJ scratching, blending, etc. – Just the straight up songs. In other words, the mixtape has more or less become an album. Which is funny because The Hedonistic Album isn’t dropping until January. So be sure to get your copy today!
