I love to write, make music and produce my own podcast.

Help Me Smoke Cupid.

We gon' get 'im!!!

This week, we’re celebrating the 3rd Annual Cupid’s Hunt (CH) Podcasting Extravaganza. More than 20 podcasters will drop a “love themed” episode with their respective flavors and I got to make sure the Friday Favecast (FFC) represents lovely.

On the first ever CH, I brought Eve into the studio and we answered your questions on love as newlyweds. Two years later, she’s coming back on the mic and we’re here to talk about all aspects of love (not just the warm and fuzzy ones).

We need your inquires or topics of love on which you’d like us to pontificate – this will make the CH edition of the FFC more engaging, entertaining and fun. We still have the hottest soul and progressive hip hop from across the land to help you marinate on the commentary.

Check out the video for more information and thanks in advance for your support :)

You can hit me up on Twitter, Formspring or email.

And how can I forget the FAVECAST HOTLINE?!?!? —> +1 713 568 9089

Cleanse Master

master-cleanse-diet_1

I started my Master Cleanse process today — I had no choice.

I was already contemplating on doing the cleanse as a spiritual and symbolic way to rid myself of all the toxins of 2009; but after getting on the scale, the ugly truth stared at me with its digital-numeric eyes and I realized getting back on the wagon (of better health) was imperative.

*cue wife coming in from the grocery with master cleanse ingredients*

Today is Day 1 of 10 of lemons, cayenne pepper, distilled water, Grade B maple syrup, sea salt water, senna tea, green tea and denying my body so my spirit can get what it needs. This, along with less online activity and more analog engagement (i.e., reading, walking, praying) should help get my body, mind and soul right.

I will capture my thoughts here. I might do some video but that will be dependent on how irritable I am and (honestly) I’m pretty damn irritable right now.

But that’s what this is all about right?

Until next time.

Vik+Nic = Electric Love [Nicolay Remix] by Vikter Duplaix

viknic

Vikter Duplaix has appeared in the liner notes / production credits of my favorite artists (i.e., Erykah Badu, Jazzanova, Eric Benet, etc.). His International Affairs LP piqued my interest while Bold and Beautiful truly made me a fan.

Nicolay is one of my favorite producers. From my introduction to him via Foreign Exchange’s Connected to their GRAMMY-nominated single “Daykeeper,” his innovative perspective on soul music and experimental beats continues to be a huge inspiration for me.

These two creative forces have come together to conjure a remix of Vikter’s current single, “Electric Love.” The remix is driven by Nicolay’s syncopated, edgy rhythms, while the melody flows through a journey of sensational funk only found in the world of Duplaix.

Give it a listen below and be sure to get the FREE download exclusively at Vikter’s site — a special Christmas gift from them to you :)

The Beauty Created Remixed

TBC Remixed

I’ve been a fan of Jesse Boykins III ever since I discovered “Pantyhose” at the beginning of the year. His album, The Beauty Created, has quite a few jams I’ve played over at the FFC and his version of “No One Else” on the Men Love Mary mixtape was stellar as well.

So when I got this tweet about his newly released remix album, I had to show love. The Beauty Created Remixed features Melo-X, AFTA-1 and other incredible producers working their magic on Jesse’s vocals. Here’s what he has to say about the project:

“The Beauty Created Remixed is my gift to you, my fans and followers of my journey thru music. I just wanted to take the time out and say thank you to the supporters who come to my shows and who have bought my albums and help spread the word about Jesse Boykins III & The Beauty Created. Thank you to all the producers who help add to this painting. Please keep spreading the love and I’ll do the same. Hope you enjoy and Happy Holidays.”

I highly recommend that you download this album and start spinning immediately within your audio player of choice.

Here We Go Again

nano_09_blk_participant_120x90.png

After debating all summer and re-prioritizing my creative endeavors, I’ve decided to participate in this year’s National Novel Writing Month beginning November 1st. I have a few ideas and posted a poll for my friends and fellow writers to help me decide. In the end, I had to flip a coin to decide on a story :P

I attended the local Kick-Off Party this weekend and got some added inspiration. I’m looking forward to a more analog activity as I need to focus on my creativity more. Technology is just the conduit, but the true art comes from our minds. I will have yet another novel completed when I arrive on the other side of November.

Until next time.
