Whatz happn' famz. This has been a very good week for me thus far. I was in LA for a few days, where I did a show and had a quick productive meeting. I also found out that the saying it never rains in Southern Cali is.....just a song :( A vid my homey Brandon N2ition shot for me and my homies Freddie Gibbs, producer Major 7th and Fakeshore Drive premiered this week. Brandon is one of the dopest up and coming video makers on the scene. Expect big things from him in 2010.See the clip for"On My Own" below.
I have an official release date for my new mix-tape "The Best You nEver heard". It drops Feb.11th. The team over at 4Management is working on putting the finishing touches on a release event here in Chicago, details coming soon. Here is the cover if you haven't seen it yet. Shout out to my man Toussaint Werner, who does most of my artwork and layouts.
I just released a song, "Hold On", I did with soul singer Khari Lemuel along with Ari Lourdes, for DJBooth.net's Rhymes & Rhythm For Relief compilation. You can purchase the project here.

Last, but not leas I am very proud of AAH (All Hip Hop)selecting me as the current Breeding Ground artist. The last year has really proven that hardwork pays off. I have been striving stay consistent and to release quality music and videos that represent with who I am as an artist and a MAN. I think people will be really pleased when they hear the mix-tape and my indy release "The Darkroom" which will be out this spring.
Let's keep sending our good energy, our prayers and our money over to our brethren of Haiti.
Much Love,
MH
