I just felt like you guys needed another way to get to know me. So I’m doing this little project. Peep the video. I plan on covering other beat makers in the future. Maybe this will be a big ordeal at some juncture. Either way…. AFSB Season 1, Episode 1 from know:juander on Vimeo. Recommend [...]
I’m trying to get above ‘it.’ Pain, poverty, tears, and the blues. I can’t let them to me what they did to my mom’s street. She used to think it was beautiful, and then with a few years of destructive politics, the powers that be destroyed the true essence and the hue of our neighborhoods. [...]
Fifteen months after I made my first beat, I’ve moved from Fruityloops to Reason + Recycle to the MPC2500. It’s been a fun and very colorful journey that has shown promise and generated love in another aspect of my craft. More important than where I am is where I’ve come from, and looking back is [...]

The Carry-On Experience… it starts like one of them joints you ripped out of the shrink wrap and put in the CD player and just vibe out to. You had a bad day, work hours got cut, and your baby moms is telling you a thousand things a once… and you zone out… “against all [...]
just take it for what it was… a preview. nothing more and nothing less. I was just learning how to make beats… so this was an attempt to sample the same record that I later found out Sabzi of Blue Scholars sampled once I met him and he played Loyalty at KTUH. Humble Beginnings from [...]
So there’s a lot of talk about the scene and what it is or means to be Hip Hop. Personally, and I’m sure many would agree, Hip Hop is a lifestyle and from that lifestyle we, (some of us) get to be able to translate that life into music. For other it’s poetry, graffiti, and [...]
what’s up family. HI, today was a good day for the art. a new outlook on everything has got me inspired to write. Positivity goes a long way… so in a few short hours… I’ve written (well…finished writing) a narrative song. It’s called, “Boy Meets Girl,” produced by Skavenger of Destruments. Their crew and Skav [...]
From talking to some of the cats out here that actually view my site (thanks, by the way) there was a general consensus that I needed to post more… (sheesh, I get it – lol), so along with the Fresh Water segments I will begin doing the Knowing is Beautiful segments and though it sounds [...]
thoughts on Sampling and importance in Hip Hop (music)
So I was sitting at Jazzminds with the homies last night and it was actually Micah’s (the drummer for The Deadbeats) birthday… after a year of Harumi saying it was on every Wednesday. But anyway… me and Aaron talked about an idea that would result in my posting my thoughts… okay not my thoughts, but [...]
