Hip-Hop Movement in Argentina
When I spent a couple of months in Argentina back in 2006, I met a couple of cool argentians, including Sutil and My-T (from Raptores Records) and Le Ghost actively working on bringing hip-hop (and hip-hop influenced) music to Argentina. These are some good friends of mine. Below are some videos for ya'll to check out their movement.

"F*#k Curators" Art Exhibit
Some incredible work from the "F#ck Curators" Art Exhibit held in Newark, NJ yesterday. An example of when curators don't show certain artists enough love.
Stop Being Afraid
I come across too many people who are simply afraid. Too afraid to start their own company; too afraid to speak in their natural tone around certain others; too afraid to rap about topics they want to discuss; too afraid to wear the clothes they think are hot; and the list continues and continues. If you continue like this, at best your spirit will continue to be unfulfilled. If you walk this earth afraid to be who you truly are and thus incapable of reaching your highest point, then that means you are too scared to live. And if you are too scared to live, you're walking dead. So...
Stop being afraid. And live.

Reflecting on "This is It"
Listening to my old mixtape to study where I can improve and the first verse of this track, "This is It," resonated heavy with me. It might have took me a bit longer than a year at my gig to break out and employ myself...but it's an incredible feeling to know that I eventually accomplished just that. Make sure you never give up.

BB Shot of HLS Montclair
So my brother and I are working on our second location for our restaurant, HLS Juice Bar & Grill, which will be located in Montclair, NJ (on Bloomfield Ave). My brother is in a meeting RIGHT NOW working to get approval for our exterior signage. If all goes well, we'll be open this fall. I'll let you know when it's all said and done and we crack them doors open!

Busy Day...
Ok...so today was indeed a productive one. Hit the gym (back and bi's), worked on a new song, (which I'm loving right now), had a long business meeting with my brother on keeping our restaurant (soon to be restaurants) running efficiently, did some legal work for a client and more. Feels good when you get a lot accomplished in a day, doesn't it? Hoping to put a bit more productivity towards music tomorrow. I aim to complete the song I was working on today, plus work on my Spanish record. I'll keep ya'll posted.
Much love
