THE FLOOD PROJECT: HOSTED BY DJ OMEGA


The Flood Project mixtape is almost done! This is one of the most authentic and original pieces of material I ever recorded. This is mixtape was supposed to drop a while ago, but it seems like everytime something fell in place, something else went wrong. But I fight in the face of adversity and I never break under pressure. For a while I was receiving emails of bullshit production. I can't stand when producers send music, just to send it. Heres my ethic: If you wouldn't put your best production, up against one of your favorite producers, or you don't have the confidence when playing it in front of me, why would you even send it to me? I need quality material from a producer who delivers is consistently. Its like the drug game, and only the producers with a quality brand, who consistently make good music, will be heard or used. Same goes for artist who record bullshit. Me being a picky artist, also added to the delayed release. Im glad to say I teamed up with producers like, Kajmir Royale, Tone Setter Beats, Auditory, I have some older Alchemist on there, Black Keys and more. I also do not write music down any more, I came to a point in my career where , like a Jay Z, Biggie, or Wayne, Im always on the move, I don't find myself just sitting down with time, and a pen and pad to write, I feel the vocals can sound arranged. I don't want to get in to depth about this, but basically, it's been a crazy process. I have crazy engineers behind me, and I'm glad to work with DJ Omega on this project. Omega put in work, with Beanie Sigel and the whole Roc-A-Fella/State Property, toured the world, and is now working with Wale of Interscope. This is an important mixtape and the city will definetly be banggin' this all over. I titled it "The Flood Project" bc it wasn't a blueprint, it was more so a manual. It wasn't a how to, it was more so a, I see, I do, I learn. I see too many artist not respecting and insulting the hip hop culture, playing with the gang life as it were a fad. I see ppl hustlin' backwards all crazy. So I spoke on it. No subliminal messages or shots, straight forward, and ofcourse nothin' directed to anyone inparticular. Its just a real record, and I can't wait for yah'll to listen to it. I just put myself in ya top 10 with this one!
