Local rapper 6’6 240 will unveil his latest CD titled “Hard Work and Dedication” at a release party Sept. 23. The party will be at 123 Pleasant Street, and 6’6 240 will perform with A Breezy. 6’6 240 is perhaps most well-known for this annual “Gold and the Blue” songs, which are about the WVU football team and have updated lyrics to match the current team roster.

One of the more recognizable names in the Morgantown music scene is hosting a party to celebrate the release of his new album, and everybody is invited to join the festivities.

Rapper 6’6 240, the man behind the unofficial anthem of West Virginia University football, "Gold and the Blue," has a new album titled "Hard Work and Dedication," scheduled for release Sept. 23.

To celebrate the new release, 6’6 240 and 123 Pleasant Street are hosting a release party Thursday night to debut songs from the album and hear some new music from the rapper and other acts.

According to 6’6 240, the new album was a tireless effort but well worth it for his loyal fans in the area.

"There was a lot of hard work and dedication put into this new album, hence the name," 6’6 240 said. "I made a conscientious effort on this album to make music for my family and the many people who have supported me throughout the years."

The performer also believes that staying close to home on this new album brought out the best in his music.

"It seems like I’ve been trying to take over the world since 2000, but my main support has always remained local," 6’6 240 said. "This album, and all of the dedication I put into it, is for my fans and supporters in West Virginia."

6’6 240 has become most recognizable from his WVU football anthem "Gold and the Blue," a song that he says has evolved over the years.

"Every year, I try to make ‘Gold and the Blue’ better, and this year, I think is one of the best," 6’6 240 said. "Up until last year, we had Pat (White), Steve (Slaton) and Coach (Rich) Rod, but now WVU football is moving into a new era with Coach Stew and Jarrett (Brown) at the helm. I wanted this year’s version to also reflect that evolution into a new era."

With the release party, 6’6 240 is also trying something new – performing with a live band.

"I have been working with my band for about a month and a half," 6’6 240 said. "This event is going to be a great way to give back to my fans and showcase some of my new music. We have several other acts performing, too, so it’s going to be a good time."

6’6 240’s release party featuring A Breezy is set for Thursday night at 123 Pleasant Street. There is a $5 cover at the door.

I opened at 123 Pleasant Street with DJ Strizy the other night. It was the album release party for 6's new album Hard Work & Dedication. I got really good feedback from a lot of people and a few even said it was my best show ever. The only reason I had to start the show was because E likes the energy I bring to the table but in the near future, I'll definitely be headlining.

I laughed pretty hard at that one. The Knight Life as definitely found its way into my Google Reader every morning thanks to [info]popfiend.

And I'm still alive. I just suck at this whole blog thing any more. I have a show this Thursday at 123 Pleasant Street. The show is for 6'6 240's new album Hard Work & Dedication. DJ Strizy and I will be trying our damnedest to tear it down.

New music is on its way I promise, I'm working on three different projects right now, but hopefully I'll be able to wrap all of those up in the coming months.

I'm still keeping this blog and I hope to post more frequently on it since I'm still an avid reader of my f-list entries every day. If you need to get ahold of me, the easiest way is thru twitter, facebook, or just email me at bhyphen@gmail.com.

I'll be around tho! I see you Fromme! lol.

Photoshoots

From left: Me, Johnny Harmonic, Profit Money, Ace Beanz and 6’6 240 in the summer of 2008.

Yesterday evening I went to my second official Soundvizion photoshoot. Now, I’m not usually camera shy or anything, but photoshoots is something I have to get used to I suppose. My first one was last summer and I felt awkward as ever. E telling me how to pose, Angel watching me, all of the above in the picture watching me, the Morgantown DJz watching me…it was a little nerve wracking.

And I didn’t really like the shots E got. But for my first time, I guess they weren’t that bad.

Last night wasn’t so bad tho. There was no Johnny unfortunately since he’s Mr. Hollywood now lol, O and Ether were there to lighten the mood, and I guess I was just looser this time. Steph took the pictures, so that helped a lot. It’s weird posing for a dude sometimes. lol. But I think the pics I took this time were ill as shit. Hopefully you’ll be seeing them on a flyer near you! lol.

I really don’t know why I wrote this entry. I think I just wanted to brag I was at a photoshoot. lol. Still haven’t seen Watchmen tho, should’ve went this past weekend when I had the gwap. Soon tho…

Today's been long. I really need to pick up normal sleep patterns.

6 released his new version of "The Gold N Blue". Check it out here.

Johnathan's grandparents are spending the night. I haven't seen them yet and there's no car outside but there's items that are telling me they are indeed here.

I missed The Office on TBS. Dammit.

I really don't have anything else right now. I'm sure I'll be back tho.

This is a local rapper from where I'm from.  Matter of fact, I'm on the same label as this local rapper (who has a song with Bubba Sparxxx out that's picking up spins). Nevertheless, this local rapper, my labelmate, my friend, 6'6 240, is urging you to go and see the tire lady.  I shit you not.
