Chris Barnett Presents... Trimuph

Click Photo To Download To some, it may seem like I have a certain vendetta against Chris Barnett, and I would say “Of Course, I fucking do” But its not like hate, or I wanna see him fail. For I have a history of excusing those from the game I feel dont belong. But Chris Barnett, in my eyes, is the only competent MC in the city of Wichita, besides myself. And thats not to say, we...

Despair Is Certain

Crossroads, oh how I hate them. The last few days have actually been quite impacting. Made some drastic realizations about myself, and to be quite honest, it scared the fuck heck out of me. Finally came to terms with a fact, Im a filthy alcoholic. Yes, folks I am. And thats not even the scary part, whats frightening, is the fact I dont want to stop. My job at Ultimate Electronics is demenishing,...

What Is Southland???

Well not only is a former ABC drama that got cancelled then moved over to TNT (gay) its the name of my new album. Now, Ill be honest here, and say Ive watched like 3 episodes of said tv show, I plan on catching up, but between the job, the drinking, and having sex with your mother, I just dont have that much time for tv shows. Buuut, Ill tell you why I chose the tv shows name for my album title....

Blame Game

Im going to step aside from typical music related shenanigans and speak a bit about my life. I honestly believe, through the support of my friends, and recent albums from Cee-Lo and Kanye West, that Ive finally been broken free from the curse of the ex. Ive always had suspicion of her infidelities, but as long as I couldnt prove it, and as long she kept denying it, I might as well went with the...

Once Again, It's On

For the time being, balance has been restored within the force. After a week of turmoil, I have relocated the Rated R puppy dog, Edge. He was stolen last week, and I know the guilty parties, they have hell coming their way. I couldnt have gotten my puppy back if it wasnt for my friends who contributed to the costs I had to pay to get him out of the pound. But he is back now, and I am happy...

CLICK ON COVER TO DOWNLOAD So following 2008’s “Reckless Abandon” I was now on the radar more than I had before. But as always, I had no new REAL ideas.

News Flash, Your Favorite Rappers Record Label,...

After yet another conversation with some ignorant teenager on the rap game (I know, why do I keep doing it to myself), the child said “Young Money is the greatest record label”. I said “Its not even really a record label”. Then the argument got heated when he decided to name the artists, then I went ahead and named the only ones with ACTUAL record deals. Remember when Drake...

WANH, Nobody Supports The Scene, WANH

Sorry titling this blog with tears, but sadly, thats all I hear when people bring up the bullshit scene that is the Wichita hip hop scene.
