ATTN HIP-HOP PRODUCERS: I’m continuing my studio tour today. The project details are currently secret, but I am reaching out to my friends in the GR Hip-Hop community and putting together my instrumentals for a future Due Diligence release.

Yesterday I stuck my flag in three beats from the incomparable Venson Dix of the popular and insanely-good-music-making PUNKSUHATE. Tonight I take counsel with a master in his own right, producer Brandon Copeland. A person who has taken the moniker Dante Cope and literally massacred instrumentals and rhymes.

As I continue my studio tour with Alexander Lukens and Biff Tannen, sacrificing a goat to get time with Nixon, Chip and Brandon Pastor will be next. (Fingers crossed.)

BUT I DON’T WANT TO MISS ANYONE! Who do I need to see after these monoliths of beats and rhymes?

**INBOX ME ON FACEBOOK and LET ME KNOW: Who composes and produces the best hip-hop/rap or R&B records in West Michigan?**

P.S.: If you haven’t heard my raps, check ‘em out here (and the latest release from my emcee duo The Bookends, with Aramis).

Here is a collection of videos that I think are important to the election today! Enjoy!

Remember: Today is about voting for Barry Obama. Let’s do it!

• He’s pro-marriage equality!
• He’s pro-women!
• He’s pro-internet!
• He’s pro-Earth!
• And he shot that dickhead Bin Laden in the face! (Well… he didn’t really do it himself, but he did it in a super hi-tech First-person Shoot Video Game-style.
• He’s buddies with Jay-Z. (C’mon!)

I don’t really like Romney’s style… of being an asshole.

And I really don’t want a Zombie Apocalypse.

Really, people… I’ll do anything!

I’m a ladies man. Gotta love the ladies!

And last, but not least: “Don’t Sleep On BARRY O. Don’t ever sleep on Barry O.”

This was such and honor, and the GRBJ also did a feature on Diligent Music. Read it here.
