I decided to start another Behind The Music entry, except with video instead of all the typing this time. I'll be posting them as I produce them.

The first one is a collaboration I did for my homie Profit Money's album where we abuse auto-tune to the fullest. The second one is another one of those remixes I keep doing, this time of 3OH!3's hit single "Don't Trust Me".

I few months ago, I submitted music for a segment on Angela Yee's morning show called Don't Quit Your Day Job. Angela's show is broadcast by Sirius Satellite Radio's Shade 45. I heard back a few weeks ago and they told me I would be on at 10 AM this morning.

Call comes in, get put on hold for about 15 minutes, talk to Angela (who's as nice as she sounds on the radio), then she plays "Wait N See (Magic)". The beat gets mad props since it's a Best Kept Secret beat and technically an unfinished Wale song and the callers don't down my lyrics too much. They just suggested I go harder on the beat (guess my voice is too light).

The next song was going to be "No Sleep Till Tucson". Now when I sent the original email I included these two songs. But I was asked for two more songs when I was contacted and I purposely left out "No Sleep...". They used the original email. lol. I knew it was going to be bad. Here's my rundown from Twitter:







Start from the last picture and scroll up and it will make sense. lol.. But I didn't do too bad even with the bad song selection. Hopefully there was some people out there who actually did like the songs. And with a bit of luck, this wan't be my last time on Shade 45.

Here's my post over on TeamYee.tv. Hopefully I'll see some comments.

I recorded this in late 2006 when I couldn't decide what project I wanted to work on next. While "J's And Nikes" ultimately didn't make the cut for The Mind's Mixtape volume Three, it's still one of my favorite songs. I might have to break it out and perform a verse next time I have a show. This is actually the second version, recorded on my good mic, but I was a little tipsy and I think it shows at points. But it's still a winner in my book. This song was originally by Fat Joe under the name "Safe 2 Say (The Incredible)". Produced by Just Blaze if you want to check that out.

I also just got a haircut. Why not?

Download "J's And Nikes".

So there was an article on 6 for his album release party in WVU's school paper The Daily Anthenaum. Good article. But...there was something wrong with the picture.

6’6 240 to host CD release party at 123

By Marc Basham

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 have not been mistaken for 6'6...yet. lol.

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 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.

Sean Nice and DJ Big Daddy came into my job this Friday so I could buy one of Nice's Michael Jackson tribute mixes and they mentioned they didn't have a copy of "It's Hyphen Bitches" from The Mind's Mixtape volume Three. Even tho the song is almost two years old, you have to give the DJ's what they want when they're asking for it. lol. So here's the link I gave them in case anybody else wanted to grab it.

I was checking out the latest episode of Better In The Dark and Tom mentioned that the James Bond podcast, For Your Ears Only had recorded their own version of the BITD Theme song. Of course I tracked it down and it’s amazing. Here it is for everyone’s enjoyment. For the full episode, check them out at the shiny link.

I realize now that the “guessing” part I added with Nas’ section was not needed since I included the episode description. lol. After going through Nas’ sophomore album we jump right into Jay’s first. Unfair? Slightly. But Illmatic and Reasonable Doubt were two different eras. This comparison is way closer then the one I just mentioned.

Chiv and I continue our first "Album Vs. Album" series. In this first installment, we put former foes Nas and Jay-Z against each other once again as we compare the albums they released in 1996. Chiv explains how he completely ignores "Feelin' It", I take Jay-Z to task over whether "22 Two's" really came off the top of his head or if he wrote it down, and we end things on a somber note as we both "Regret(s)" doing this part of the episode in the first place. Get your Super Mean Pimp on and start listening!
