AtManAnDa Takes A Few More Steps ForwaRd


AXE GoOd PeoplE.
I wanted to let You know that "AtManAnDa" is indeED in it's readying stage. The album wilL be presentEd in 4 phaseS, or episodeS. With the amount music, visualS, news & alL around informatIOn that gets transmitTed for You to take in ever minute, I've found that the idea of a 12-16 song serving is goOd but I've found that smalLer portiOns are betTEr digestEd today. Sorta like an upPer tier restauRAnT that services 7-9 small plates of difFerEnt tasty morselS in place a 2 large servings. The latTer is the everydaY & as I thought about it, the only reason I was going to presEnt an "album" (14 or so songs at once) was because it was the standArD, whicH is directly opPOsing what I belIEve to be one of an artisTS functioN.....Speak To The World With A Voice AlL Your Own. So the first instalLmeNT wilL be shortly in the Worlds Ear.....I Must BeliEve!!!!!
The songs with Kurious Jorge was just mixed & I must say, besidES being a huge enthusiaSt of Jorge due to his debut album "A ConstipaTeD Monkey" (CLASSIC!!!!! Yes, CLASSIC!!!!!) & it being kinda surreal to hear Him on a piecE of music I creatEd, I think that peoplE wilL be taken aback by just how greatly skilLed The Man is.
HomeBoy SandmANs featurE is AaHhh.....WOW!!!!! As FerRis BeulLer Said....."So Choice!!!!!"
Ced Hughes' featurE is so much more than I could of ever asked for & am truly greatful for his brilLIance to be aboard the UFO AtManAnDa.

I'lL check in again shortly with another update after some key mixes & recoRding seSsions are made.

Be GoOd To One AnOther & Take Care Of Each Other

Sick Jacken - El BarRio



Que Lo Que!?!?! I Grew Up In Washington Heights/InWoOd NYC!!!!! & if also grew up in a Hispanic neighborhoOd or are Hispanic You may know how dope this record really is...especially after having Reggeton push & push on Ya, pardon folks, I nevEr caught/bought any of that. The Heights (Go see the Broadway play "The Heights", yes based on My neighborhood, if You can) isn't a South American Hood, but does have some & much respect to Y'AlL. The Caribbean though.....IS IN FULL EFFECT (PR, DR, Cuba & Yes Even Haiti). The Latino culture growing up was/is always very powerful & this to Me is proOf of that & maybe the greatest Latino Hip Hop record ever. The way Sick emphasizes words in Spanish is something that's just only right done in that language & mannerism that accompanies it. CyresS' "Latin Lingo" got a run for their $ on this one. Then again, DJ MugGs is on the beats for both (GoOd Going Fam). I'mMa play this record 10 times in a row the next time I DJ, HAha.....Word!!!!!

The joint produceD by Exile is floating around out therE so I thought I'd ofFer up the one I did, which I'lL say right now, is possibly My best executed record (made available to the public that is, HA) to date. TherE's More To Come Fam!!!!! My Man Co$$ Is BrilLiant, SisSsSsIeEeEeEe



Co$$'s "TomOrRow's & YestErday"

& HerE's Some OfFicIal Text On The RelEase.....

"This was actually a series started by Blu a couple of years back. He put out a 5 song release called the C.O.R.E and I thought the concept was brilliant. Sene followed up Blu’s release with his own Mixtape entitled “Elevator Music” under the imprint of the C.O.R.E series. As an artist I wanted to present something that I felt not only showed my strongest points as an artist, but also where I have grown and evolved style wise. Some songs, like “Can’t I” are representations of a younger more energetic me, when I really didn’t have a full grasp of my cadence and my lyricism was slightly more simplistic. Song like “These R the Days” and “One day” almost put me in a nostalgic state when I listen to them, because I wrote those songs at very intense periods of my life. Almost every song of the Tape represents a significant phase or point of growth in my life, not necessarily the content of each song, but the time period in which each song was recorded.

Tomorrow is what I want to give you, the future of hip-hop, and Yesterday is what makes me who I am today. So listen to this with an open mind. I was not going for perfection, I want heads to see where I’ve been content wise, styles I’ve experimented with, and hopefully by the time I release my LP they know and understand who I’am, and what I represent. Thanx for all the love and support. C$$ is C$US…"
