Some Studio fun. Enjoy!!!

IN THEM WOODS! Deep in the mean streets of Blairsville.

Lots of fun that day. Shout out to my girl Carlera, and my girl Mahogany for participating in the randomness.

Frank Ocean "We all Try"

So... this dude had some twitter beef with Chris Brown the other day, after Chris complimented him on his music. I guess it was a smart move on Frank's part to gain more fans. I say... who cares. I love this song and I am currently listening to this mixtape on repeat. Go check it out. You can download the whole shit here...

"Too tired to sleep" my daily rant.

I have never, till now, wondered so much as to why I do the things that I do. What do you do when you find yourself caught in some sort of web of other people's ideas and expectations for a society of people? Were we ever really capable of independent thought? Nowadays, it's trendy to be "yourself." And phrases like Just Express Yourself! Be who you are! Do what you FEEL! have been embedded into my psyche. But I have to pause. Pause. I am not gonna lie... Im not too sure I know myself to even be myself. So what do I do? Give me a template of who I am society! Please. Am I afro centric? Or should I be gothic? Or, religious? A rebel? Let me pick one and let me hurry up because I wouldn't want to be caught dead in public not wearing my mask. So here I am, 26 years old, trying to figure out what "I" is and who the "I" belongs to. I'm taking off layers to confront painful experiences that have blocked me from who I am, truly. I am appalled at my behavior. But I am not alone because I was clumped together with a society of people who deep down feel the same way, people who have suppressed these truths for various reasons. Somewhere, inside of me, I just want to be right. And I am dissatisfied with the world around me no matter how much money I gain, or how much power I hold. I am dissatisfied because I am involved in an "industry of tricks." An industry of perverted individuals, who take everything and everyone for face value. Here we are, in a room... egos heavier than the chains around our necks, (afreshly sprayed) perfumes and collogne's filling the air, jumping and bucking to our perverted music, like little children hearing a curse word. I wasn't for a long time, but I have become aware, that slavery still exists in the most minute situations. We all have to answer to somebody, even in the actions we would label insignificant. I guess I'm slowly waking up to crawl out of the bed and exit the room. But I will be patient because its hard to detox when your space is filled with addicts. Not to mention, your an addict yourself. I admit I'm addicted to society. My spirit says "NO," so my body says yes, because I was taught to hate myself. But after years of struggle, I think I'm tired of being a rebel to my truth. Will the real "I" stand up? Or will she stay asleep? Peace. Love ya'll.

"Messin' with Girls" DJ JUICE

Damn the one that I want!
Why would you play me?
You took my virginity
You took my soul
Damn the one that I want!
I'm sprung now that you gave me some
That's what I get for
messin' with girls

This is your melody
This is your melody
So cry-y-y...
stupid little girl!

This is your melody
This is your melody
So cry-y-y...
stupid little girl!

...stupid little girl!

La la la la lannnnnd!

Today... I feel so damn creative. Inspired! I feel so good. And... I'm listening to this Dilla. Ima make a song for you guys and post it later.

J. Dilla

So... I am not gonna lie. For selfish ass reasons, yes, I am very upset that he is not here anymore. I have never met him, I don't think. I do remember a Slum Village performance at Columbia College Chicago, I attended. And yes... I did jump up on stage, at one one point, to dance like an embarrasing drunk mom! LOL. One of my favorite college memories. I talked to Baatin. R.I.P. And I still think back to that experience and wonder if HE was there because of course, I didn't know who he was until after his death in 2006. Then I found out he produced on some of the sick, soulfull, bassfull, Detroit classics!!! Not only that... but did you all know that he did Janet Jackson's "Got till it's gone?" Crazy... and we all know we were in love with a Tribe Called Quest's "find my way." Can you say Classic??!!! I am so hurt after the fact, at his death. I had no idea you guys. I am still currently in my J. Dilla learning experience and my anger has progressively gotten worse because I have never in my life heard music, so beautiful, spiritual, and not to be cliche, but... so hip hop. It's cord striking. So raw and trashy. YOU know...the beginning, like before you were born, how things were always suppose to be. Like... dare I say it, the true essence of who we are as black people. James Dewitt Yancey... I don't know you in the tangible world, but I do know you spiritually. Thank you for sharing yourself with all of us. Love, Chris.

Pac Div "Nobody's Perfect" DJ Juice on the HOOK

Enjoy!

See why you should love C. Why!

So... I know only 2.5 people visit this blog lol. But I will repost this in a year when I have thousands visiting a day. By that time she may be a bigger hit than Nicki Minaj and you won't flinch when I say, "C. Why is the illest!" My bestie and writing partner, Carla, "C. Why," Henderson, is one of the dopest voices in hip hop music. Her presence is always so full and demanding. Not even the fact that she spits like a dude. No, no, no... it goes a little deeper than that. She has the gift of translation. When I say she "commands the mic," I mean it! You can hear her voice on the Ludacris' "Battle of the Sexes" album, on the intro, "How Low," (and that's not Shawnna, although we lovvvve her) and "Party No Mo." Look out for this crazzy MC representing G.A.L.A.X.Y. music! C. Why! Love ya'll.

Let's never forget her... Lauryn Hill

Talented, passionate, beautiful, womanly, resilient, faithful. She was and is one of the most influential black divas. Funny that I never lusted after her, lol. She has always felt like a sister or best friend. She represents the earth so well, someone I can actually see myself being, because at one point I was like her and aspire to run back to being her. Mmmmmm MESSAGE! Lol. But in all honesty, if you don't have the album, Miseducation of Lauryn Hill, please go get it, or check out music on youtube. Phenomenal woman!

Pac Div's New Mixtape "Mania"

This group is crazy talented to me. Ughh... it pisses me off sometimes cause I have an annoying itch for them to reach the masses already! Check out some of their music videos and songs on youtube. Some of my favorites are "Rollin," "Fat Boys 08," "Whiplash," and "Nobody's Perfect." Can you say cllllllassiic Biotchh! On this new mixtape, you can hear DJ Juice (yes pause that's me:0) sing her little heart out (kind of) on the song "Nobody's Perfect." Hope you like the song and them! Love you guys!

Download the mixtape here.

"Wishin" produced by KFam

We worked with the very talented and charming KFam on this song about two years ago. It's one of our favs! Check it out.

In the beginning.

So it is me, DJ Juice, and my bestie, C. Why, sitting in my moms 2003 highlander. And we are lifted beyond our own limits, and she turns to me and says... "YOU should be our DJ! Yeah... yeah, yeah, why not?" Then, blank faces followed by awkward silence, left us dying in laughter. It was a great idea, but a "high" great idea, that might not have translated in our soberness. Now a year later, here I am, aspiring to be that idea. I'm sprouting into that vision slowly but surely, and my goal is to push this G.A.L.A.X.Y. music and feed my little mini me. 
Sometimes, our "high minded" ideas, however visually unattainable, are only imagined to create. Sometimes these places are just too "high" for comfort. But in reality, they may be right above our heads. I'm still climbing this lofty imagination. Let's go higher. Love ya'll!!!
