Wise Words to Think About

8 Feb WLANL_-_mwibawa_-_Gouden_Buddha_(1)

I saw this on a friends Facebook page…it REALLY made me think!

426574_526656570699746_347530352_nOne day the Buddha was walking through a village. A very angry and rude young man came up and began insulting him. “You have no right teaching others,” he shouted. “You are as stupid as everyone else. You are nothing but a fake!”

The Buddha was not upset by these insults. Instead he asked the young man, “Tell me, if you buy a gift for someone, and that person does not take it, to whom does the gift belong?”
The young man was surprised to be asked such a strange question and answered, “It would belong to me, because I bought the gift.”

The Buddha smiled and said, “That is correct. And it is exactly the same with your anger. If you become angry with me and I do not get insulted, then the anger falls back on you. You are then the only one who becomes unhappy, not me. All you have done is hurt yourself.”

50 can still spit, forget what anyone says. This is ill. Street King Immortal, drops in the Spring.

This was inspired by the 10years anniversary of GET RICH OR DIE TRYIN. I wrote the song so every time I hear it it reminds me of it…It took me longer to find the beat than to actually write it.

The KDMS – Walk The Night

8 Feb WALK THE NIGHT

The KDMS is an international supergroup that is currently taking the world by storm through a string of hit singles for the ever-expanding Gomma label. They combine hypnotic rhythms with addictive pop melodies carrying clever lyrics – a rare achievement in todays formulaic world of club-inspired pop music.

This is The KDMS cover of the legendary “Walk The Night” song by Skatt Bros. We loved it so much that we decided to make a special tribute and recorded topline vocals in the Bohemian-Rhapsody style. The group is currently touring around the world rocking festivals, concert halls and top venues at the moment as London’s “The Nest” , Shanghai’s “Mao Live” or Paris “La Java” for example.

You can also download it for FREE on their Facebook

ICON – Watch This (3 Kings Flow)

8 Feb tumblr_mhpm159GbW1qfakzdo1_500

He killed this!

“Before I ever considered the idea of spittin’ raps as a career possibility, I used to do it as a hobby; purely for the fun and joy it brought to my life. The process was simple. The DJ would cut the instrumental by running a 4-bar loop over and over, and I’d proceed to do what I do. Fast forward to today’s very real circumstance and the actuality of a career in music can lead to some incredibly stressful, delirious, drive-you-all-the-way-crazy kind of nights in the studio. The clique and I were able to discover a therapeutic remedy for said nights. Take it back to the basics. My DJ and brother N.I.C cut me an instrumental and let me do what I do. The result is ‘Watch This’ over Rick Ross’ ‘3 Kings’ feat. Jay-Z and Dr. Dre. The result is #iconic.”
