Day Two: "Me" (Right Click Save As To Download)
I'm mad people...everything that could go wrong, has managed to. As a result I'm not able to give you the track I would've liked, BUT it's a dope track nonetheless. Unreleased for the most part.
"Me" represents moreso of a decision that a minority in our society chooses to make. With such an emphasis to please the masses, or please others...when will we choose "Me"?? i spent much of 2009 trying to please others & I ended up losing "Me" in the process. So this is almost like a declaration to myself, you can put God first & still choose "Me"...enjoy.
Starrs & Murph In The Studio (Jan 09)

Earlier this year I got in the studio (Boiler Room Studios in Providence RI) with Starrs & Murph and here are the results - make sure to download their mixtape Boxes For Sale!

Day One- Closer pt 2 (Right Click & Save As To Download)
due to technical difficulties, I gotta write this one out & not vlog it...I'll hopefully be vlogging by next week.
First let me thank Doc for lending me space on his new website to feature this material. We go back & he's always been a standup guy, plus his beats are flippin ridiculous. Click Here to see all the tracks of mine that he's produced. If you're new to me, I used to go by epideMIC, that's me. ANYWAY...
Again, the purpose of "31 Days Of Dreams" is to refamiliarize people with my music. This isn't gonna be the typical 31 brand new songs that you lose track of. Some of the songs will be brand new, some unreleased, and some will be classics. This is all leading up to my new project "Dreaming Out Loud" that'll be available digitally on October 31st. Let's go...
Today we start 31 Days of Dreams with the song that started it all..."Closer pt 2".
Everybody LOVES this song, and while I agree it's dope...to be completely honest I hate it. I guess a piece of me feels as if I have over 400 songs in my catalog & this is the one that everybody comes back to. Now I know how Eminem feels about My Name Is, or the way Jay-Z feels about Hard Knock Life...I feel I have better material. But if this is the song that gets everybody going, who am I to deny its power?
NOW, I do this song for personal reasons. Part 1 was done back in 2003 & the dreams I was trying to get closer to then aren't the same ones I want now. I did the 2nd one in 2006, and part 3 (which will be on Wake Up 3) will be another gauge to see where I am as a person, how far have I come (or gone). So if you've NEVER heard this song, press play &enjoy.
I'm gonna break the "classics week" & put out a brand new song tomorrow. Something to ride out to for the weekend....peace
