This week’s song features a beat by The Rhombus. Coolzey, once again, espouses his philosophy and I throws a wacky video together with public domain footage found on the internet.

This one was fun for me cuz I decided to just do whatever I wanted for the video – I like how it all turned out. I’m starting to think that we need to do this every week for about a year before we really start getting weird, though.

Week #8 video:

Zach asked me to take care of this week’s post. I don’t have much to say about it, except for that I am somewhat scarred from making the video. Zach had this to say:

“Track six fresh out the mix.

This weeks track features production by Copywrite.

The name of the track is Ten W.A.

I was thinking how Copy always says O.H. Ten for Ohio, when I was writing the rhyme, and then I was struck with brilliance. I think it’ll stick for my Iowa people.

This is the most shit talkinest I’ll prolly get in this series, but what else am I supposed to do with this raw ass beat?”

Indeed.

Ten W.A.

Coolzey is probably sipping iced tea on a veranda somewhere and so hasn’t had time to post his weekly update. But here it is, along with Zach’s dubious insistence  that he is actually working hard:

“Here is track number two of the series Coolzey and the Search for the Hip Hop Hearts – Volume I : He’s the DJ, I’m the Rapper

This one is called “Uh Huh”, but you gotta pronounce it like the Steve Miller Band when they singing, like 3 syllables, listen to the song, you’ll see.

The music was provided by Alex Newman from Giant Panda. The rhymes were written while I was driving back and forth between jobs this week, then recorded, mixed, and mastered yesterday by Luke Tweedy at Flat Black Studios.”

rough demo. needs more lyrics, instruments, etc…..

what do you think of my face?

Thanks to Mr. Chuck Hoffman for helping us update to a more current version of WP. You are the bomb, Chuck.

Chuck duz musics here.

I like it.

Also, I liked that last blog of Zach’s a lot. I really like the Dong and I. It’s good. It’s real good.

I’m going to listen to it now.

Recently, I’ve been working a lot and Zach’s on tour, so this is as good as our bloggging will be for today, probably.

Unless Coolzey has a crazy-ass trick up his sleeve. He’s playing a show in Satan Cruz tonight, so go to that if you live there.

What else??

The Honey is #8 on the CMJ Hip Hop charts this week. Interview scheduled with WFMU for tomorrow (?) – details soon – I will post the interview time in the comments section as soon as I know.

Also, here’s a sweet review from Okayplayer.

Also, here’s another trailer I made for Dumb Dumb, premiering at Revelations in Fairfield on Saturday, 8 pm:

You can now purchase Coolzey’s The Honey CD or mp3s through CDBaby or itunes. This makes a perfect stocking stuffer for X-mas 2011. Or, you could invent a time machine and travel back to last X-mas. It’s hard to promote things in February. Oh yeah, Valentines Day! This is the perfect Valentine’s Day gift. Fellas – you will probably want to give this to your special lady. It is full of romantic “slow jams” and orgasm-inducing “funk slams”.

I am awesome at writing merchandising copy.

I got this email yesterday and thought I would share:

If you are in any of the states where I’ll be traveling, consider hosting or attending one of these house shows. I’m booking it now and will be deciding where to play as soon as I hear from people about where I should go. Please visit simonjoynertours.com to let me know if you can host a show in your town or attend a show if it happens in your town. This is a big experiment, booking a tour in this grassroots way instead of through a booking agent and regular clubs. I hope it works. Thanks for your help.

Those of you familiar with Simon’s music will understand that this is unique opportunity to host or attend an intimate event with a consummate songwriter/performer. If you aren’t familiar with his music go here or here or here.

Peace, Muthafuckas!
