I've had the pleasure of being part of two groups. The first group was called the Ancients. We put out 3 singles between 2000-2002. 2 of the singles were put out through Landspeed Entertainment (Caroline Distribution) & 1 through Budz Entertainment. We received admirable coverage on "Fat Tape" & "Independance Day" in the Source Magazine. Other media outlets & websites helped our buzz aswell. S.O.U.L. Purpose was the 2nd group I became a part of... We signed a one album deal with Coup De Tat Records (Caroline Distribution) in 2003. We dropped 2 singles (both debuting .. 1 & 2 on CMJ charts). The LP itself lasted 15 weeks straight on the CMJ charts. Online & magazine reviews & interviews were refreshing & positive... Also dropped a new album "The Construction" in May of 2008 (Digitally distributed through The Orchard/Pocket Size Pimp & physically on Red Line/Devoon Edutainment)... 1/2 the proceeds/profits from album sales went to the Boys&Girls Club of America! Any album released for sale or any show put together by S.O.U.L. Purpose, will ALWAYS be charity based... Gotta give back! In April of 2009 we released a street album (available for free download at www.soulpurposecrew.com) called "City Permits"! In addition, I have been running a weekly installment online called The Walking Blog (www.thewalkingblog.com) which is a viral video describing New York nightlife for the most part. That along w/ a continuous internet/new media presence & a number of hostings has helped the branding of S.O.U.L. Purpose. Let's keep the movement going for our communities, people, & children! Thankyou for the support! PEACE & LOVE...
