On The Beat And Path

Bringing the Beat to the Path is one of those runaway Canadians (much like myself) who, through his love of travelling and music, is strumming ahead and blazing trails with his own brand of travel show - On The Beat And Path. Following no particular tempo, Steve finds himself one riff closer to the adventure of a lifetime. Mostly his guitar does the talking and makes a majority of the decision, but Steve plays the good host and shows us around.



Once upon a time, I had my own little show brewing.. It never really went anywhere (or maybe it did?) but who knows.. After seeing how Steve has been putting it all together who says that the Vandigital can't resurrect good old Urban Camping? For now though, let's just enjoy the path we're on and work towards our dreams on step at a time.

Peace!

ABL coming soon

The ABL is coming back for their 2nd season as a league this coming October 2010. Not much has been mentioned lately about ASEAN's first Basketball League, but I have a feeling that this year could end up playing a pivotal role in its life or death..



I've always been a fan of B-Ball, since the days of Jordan my friends and I would battle it out on the court. That was around the same time I got into Hip Hop and things changed. It's been a few years since I've thrown down on the court on some 3on3 action and with some hoops action heading our way soon I'm hoping to get to catch some KL Dragons home games.


I've always wondered about the viability of Basketball in this region, especially Malaysia, where people are Football crazy. Let's see how it all goes for the 2010/2011 season and if you can, head on out to catch a game or two to support your favorite team!

KOTD X Evil Poets Society

Been checking out some rap battle vids today.. Not like I haven't seen em before, but we're in the middle of a revolution here in KL and Evil Poets Society is manning the guns. Was watching KOTD, Loe Pesci vs Arkane and seeing how far the battle scene in Canada has come. I'm feeling the speakers corner format with no music so that the lyrics are highlighted, as well as the fact that these guys do their research and prepare all their rhymes for major impact.




I remember back in the days I never even bothered with a battle because most cats who freestyled were just plain wack.. The Movement is upon us and I'm glad to see all around the world that battling is coming back and making a mark again. Big up to Malaysia's boys carving out a spot and showing that 2 years after TYGS dropped the first consistent MC Battle monthly, progress can be made!



Look out for more battle going down in KL as we will be hosting a "Clean" battle for MASIF2010 down at Pavillion in KL on the 18th and 19th September 2010. Evil Poets will also host another battle Saturday night Sept 18th.. If you're in the area best to check it out uncensored!

It's Been A Long Time

What's good?

It's been about 8 months since I contributed to my own blog.. I kinda feel like I needed some time away from artistry with a move to solidify some projects that have been brewing over the years.

Did ya miss me? hahaha!

Anyways, I'm not gonna try and fill you in on everything in but I will leave you some more to look at through the following links

  • The MoveMint - This has been my baby for the past two years and has given birth to TYGS, The Beat Meet, Ladies First, Cypher Sundaze, Skool Of Rap... All events and programs for the Hip Hop community in Malaysia.
  • MY Flow - The latest project just getting off the ground now. It's an Urban Music Chart for Urban Music artists in Malaysia, which I feel is going to be ground-breaking.
That's it for now, will be updating more frequently as new material and projects unfold!

Peace

Aside from that.. Just doing the usual, MCing @ Maison here in KL every Thursday night for Vibration.

TYGS #15 - The Qualifier is arriving very soon as we take the whole concept to the next level with an International Battle planned for Feb/March 2010.



Also, not forgetting the upcoming projects.. Silk Road with Illsteez plus a couple of others along with the next album (long overdue).
