Get Down (Prod. by DJ Manipulator) by Skivi_B

The Butcher & The Freezer.

Had a meeting with my brother Set Free and Philly Freeway the other day in my office in Cambridge. I have been putting together a passion project for a few months now and as much as I want to divulge details, it pains me to have to hold it in a little longer. All I can say is that it’s going to be groundbreaking. Freeway and Set Free are very much involved.

I can’t wait to let the world know what’s cooking but I have to wait till the food is done. Hungry?

FRANKMATICâ„¢!

These are the words that I Manifest.

Lets face it. I love hip-hop probably more than you love your mother. I have been listening to rap music since the 3rd grade and haven’t stopped yet.

I received a surprised package from my homeboy Derek over at Manifest Worldwide which included a few designs that really hit home. These designs make clever references to some of my favorite artists. Great designs, colors and genuinely inspired by an era that continues to fuel current and future artists.


“Ghost is Back” – Ghostface Killah and the movie Ghostbusters 2 merged into this awesome parody. One of my favorites!


“When They Reminisce Over You”- The Pete Rock & CL Smooth logo featuring the title of their most popular ode to a fallen friend. One of the greatest songs in the history of hip-hop music hands down.
“The Ruler” – As in Slick Rick the Ruler or MC Ricky D or the greatest story teller of all time! He was fly as hell and taught you how to “treat em like a prostitute”. Slick Rick could be my favorite rapper of all time.

Big shouts to MANIFEST WORLDWIDE for the blessings!

E The Real – Network Game (Video)

My family over at Kinda Dusty has put together an amazing video for the first single off of E The Real’s new album “The Wall Street Project”. The album is a concept piece inspired by the Oliver Stone classic “Wall Street”. The album is released on the eve of the release of “Wall Street 2″.  It’s dope with flawless production by Paul Mighty, DJ Manipulator and I also contributed a track on the humble.

Big shouts to my Dusty fam.

The homie Set Free has found some free time in his already super stretched schedule to start a internet radio show. Why not! His live show features guests, call ins, great commentary on lifestyle and of course music. Peep it here on voltaradio.com.

He has also lent his assistance to MTV’s upcoming “My Block” series which is highlighting “the city of brotherly love” Philly which will feature Freeway, Young Chris, Gilbere Forte, and a host of others.
