Apologies for earlier

OK i uploaded a new track via www.soundcloud.com/farmboyrecords titled Come And Get This, the tunes is still up there but it isn't complete because some fucking idiot mixed it down and some how deleted a whole verse, now if i didn't tell you this and you just heard the track you could not tell, but because i can i was pissed off, so now yours truly will have to go back and finish it, plus I'm not to sure on that beat i used, what you guys think?

So what is the track about?
Basically I'm fucked off with the police,politicians,racists and any other twat in my way that's causing problems for society, not just here in the UK but world wide but i can only touch on what i see here.

Am i political? i guess we all are a little, sometimes we got to say enough is enough, now don't get me wrong I'm not say grab your guns and lets set it of, this is not to promote violence, you make your own choice on that one friend. the problem is this and we as humans do this automatically.

 Now the first verse challenges the police, now there are some that are good officers and the rest are cunts (if your a police officer and your offended then you must be a cunt otherwise you wouldn't feel a way) but anyway when they fuck up i.e shoot an unarmed man four times, or kill a man in a choke hold etc etc we tend to say "you know what fuck all of them" and they do the same to us, black,white and esp the youth of today, they mark us all with the same pen so to say, so that is what the first verse is about, the rest speaks for itself.

so now you know the topic in hand and what it stands for, i will leave that version up there for you lot untill i change it, till then, keep expressing yourselves and follow the law until the law fails you (that wont be long)

Peace

No Comment


It seems nowadays that everyone has a comment, this is very different form an opinion and if you have to ask how is it, just do yourself a favour and log on to www.fuckofmyblog.co.uk now do you have a comment or an opinion about that statement?
so what am i getting at here?
I'll break it down to you, here's the scenario, artist asks producer for a beat, OK, we go in and knock something up, (also producer brings some finished tracks, just in case cos these things happen) you with me so far, great.
so we find a beat to use, its perfect, it is what i call a release track, basic,catchy cant go wrong, even a drunken bum could sing along type track, so here we are with the tick box and track done.
so all together now whats next? that's right artist to write or lay down, exactly.
now what we have here is classic artist bullshit syndrome, their hype is bigger than what they are and the syndrome is "oh i cant write to this, I cant catch the rhythm" yet and hour again your neck was poppin of your head saying " yeah that's it that's it"

I'm puzzled? are you?

lets continue so i can hit you with the punchline, so here i am beat done sitting back sipping on a juice, this MC is trying hard to start of the track , the real problem is that the track is to big for him, and that's not me being big headed but you know when you listen to a song and the beat is big and the person on the track doesn't do it justice and you think, what a waste i would of murdered that, well that's what happen, and the comment i got was, oh i don't like that i think you should do another one.

now tell me what would you have done?

now I'll tell you what i did, i pulled out my nine Milly lol jokes, i did do another track because that's what he wanted, its his money, he's paying, plus he didn't deserve that first track, I'd rather give it away for free to a person who would kill that sell it to a chump MC.

2 tears in a bucket, fuck it.

word to the wise, don't punch about your weight unless your going to go for it and do your best like your life depended on it, fail with respect for yourself for trying, and always bring it like its your last track you will ever make. stay hungry even though your bank balance is healthy.

Out Of The Blue

not really a topic just had a need to type something, today was cool, chilled down in the west end conversing and exchanging ideas, then back home and chilled, got a couple of emails from my popcorn ass friend (shes gonna tell me of when she reads this lol) and submitted my two short films into a competition scheduled for October.

here's the links

watch what you say



Checkmate



Enjoy

Special Agent

I've been advised that i should have a agent, well i wasn't looking for one, as of yet, but still, so a friend of mine said he will organise it, i trust him as Ive known him for years and he knows what he is talking about, (i think he is more excited than i am sometimes).
well i have told him whoever he sends better have a vision and the same aspirations that i have there is no point working with someone who is blind to what you can see because its not going to work.
so at the moment i will let him look and interview while i continue with what I'm doing.

I would say the main injection for these projects is the book. anything generated from that will go into the film (knuckle) and the money will recycle until a perfect circle is formed, i think even if i won the lottery I'd work.

with hard work and vision I'll get there, but a lottery ticket would fucking help eh lol.

Stay Blessed.

Knuckle ll

Just putting the list together of cast,crew,location etc i have a meeting in Birmingham in two weeks time, Ive been in contact with my supplier (NOT DRUGS LOL) lighting, green screens etc, all the ducks are in order (not real ducks its just a expression) so the list compilation is coming along, once i have cross checked everything i will make a start on the script/storyboard. bet you thought i was playing  huh, u don't have a scooby doo (clue) obviously it will take some time to put together but once the initial plan is ready i will be looking to shoot.
Its like one of those things in life where you have to take that chance even if it means spending all your money on it, your passion not to fail will encourage you to win, beat your demon of fear, pin him up against the wall and kick him in the bollocks. we all want to be comfortable in life and this is the first step.
you read or hear about people who sacrifice everything, mortgage marriage etc and you think i would never do that because i have to much to loose, but then you realise the sacrifice your making forces your to succeed against the odds, against the people with money who want to control everything. you can make the difference but only if you willing to take that chance.
PS this is not the storyline of the script KNUCKLE this is the storyline of my life.

I'm aiming to win,

you wonna join me?

Lets Go!

Knuckle

I'm going to make a decision and not do the third part of the book, i need to refocus back on to the music and get into the filming more, the short films are cool, and sometimes the imagination allows you to get to the point quickly, also i want to make some music videos, i have the artists so why not offer that service to?
but most importantly i want to shoot a movie, write and assist in directing, so whats the issue? I'll tell you. i can write, right, i can edit and do all of that, i have the resources to gain actors BUT, i have no equipment which is ok because i can hire, so the real reason is i need commissioning IN A BIG WAY, I'm not talking hundreds of thousands of pounds, prob talking about 30-40 grand, the idea is solid
Titled Knuckle
two brothers, one takes the good path the other the bad, this leads to problems and owning money within the criminal world, the good brother has to bail out his brother by competing in underground bare knuckle fights, who is then entered into the secret league of bare knuckle fights, blood, compassion and out gripping action. (i didn't want to give you to much details as the writing is in preparation. so the purpose for this blog, well it was going to be a begging for money blog, but whats the point, can't see anyone investing, all you want to do is read the blog, that's cool to, well keep posted because if anything, the script will be written and i will just have to do some ground work and take it to studios and submit it,

for now guard your grill and knuckle up.

to late you just got knocked the fuck out

Just Another Day

Hey world, why is there never enough time in the day? well i can say I'm back onto my personal schedule, Ive finished the second part of this book, like i said there possibly might be a third, who knows, i might just leave it how it is, the ending is good, so why fuck around with it. (i know i must stop swearing, ill make a swear jar) well its been a love affair to do the book but like all affairs I'll put in on ice for now, sending it for proof reading and editing then sit on it until i can figure out what to do with it, i read an inspirational article the other day of a man who wrote a script, got rejected left right and center then decided to take it to the Cannes film festival and got a 10mil movie deal, how inspiring is that? (or are you just say you lucky bastard, £1 for the jar i know)
so i have a few projects in the pipeline with a new artists and a few Muppet labels (see didn't swear there lol) i need to get back in the lab (studio) and do something for myself, maybe!
i guess when my time comes it will, id be happy just to release one track under my name for you guys to hear and say "yeah i like that tune"
well like i said today felt like just another day, busy, good, productive,relaxing, love doing my thing.

To Old To Give A Fuck Or Change My ways

At some point in life we all get to that point where we couldn't give a shit anymore, I've been here for a while now, you just didn't know about it (unless you personally know me) so how did it come around, that story is way to long to into as well so we will skip that to, lets just say my temper has reverted back to the old me (not good, i can feel my jaw clicking away as i type) in the sense that enough is enough. sick of companies who think they have a hold over the independent person when they actually rely on us for creativity and marketing, yet when you approach them they shut you down, but on the other hand when they want something they open the doors to you just to bend you over and rape you, well enough is enough and here's the example, a company (quite well known but i wont name drop) have asked me for some work, i gave them what they wanted, but like a big company they wanted more and all the ideas with it (without paying) they thought they were doing me a favour by opening a door for me, lets make one thing motherfucking clear if i want your door open I'd hit you up with a fucking shotgun, further more i ain't the one, I'm not blinded by bullshit i never have been.
So word to the wise if your a company trying to fuck us independent hustlers, don't, we made you so respect that and respect us,
p.s I'm sitting here with blocked ears, one fucking nostril, still working and trying to make things happen.
to all those that are independent, keep to your craft, your passion will guide you to greatness, love what you do, stay true.

M.O.B money over bullshit, get yours i got mine.

Things Happen For A Reason

so I'm guessing that by now you have built a picture of what I'm about? hows it looking? so this is what new/up to date etc the script for the Intern has been submitted, i will leave it in the fate of who has it. I'm 3 scenes away from finishing the 2nd book, slightly behind in the music thing but hey I'm human not a robot (Ok part machine) speaking with my partner in crime and the feed back for the mixtape is very good, and all those that have been downloading and banging it, thanks.
I've been encouraged to start doing some music videos, i don't know how i feel about that i would rather produce and direct even though i know it needs to be done, the hickup there is just getting the camera, yeah Ive been banging on about it but i still haven't got it, my money has been filtered through so many things, but i will, i know i know, stop it i can hear you.
Right so your saying what the fuck has that got to do with the title, its exactly what it means, i been knocked back, told I'm crap, said it will never been done, but Ive continued and ignored everything, my closest friend Emc said to me today that he was proud of me because he has known me from when i was 16 when we was down in ladbroke grove, hustling hard trying to get this all of the ground, and everything i have said i have done and against the odds, don't get me wrong i don't have that puff daddy money, but I'm rich in ways that money cant buy, so to those with dreams and passion for what they do, keep at it and remember these two powerful word for when the chips are down and times are rough just say "Fuck Them" this is your destiny, keep like minded people around your and your path will become clearer, another inspirational person of whom I have had the pleasure of knowing is Haraharan she is definitely a role model for the youth as well as women.

Things will never be easy, if it was everyone would be happy. don't pull on doors that read push.

Stay Creative and true to your craft, it doesn't matter what it is because its yours and no one can take that away from you.

P.s if they hate you it means there talking about you

The Interns

In 2007 i wrote a TV series called The Interns, i only wrote the one episode Titled Fishy Chips (ref to microchips that were dodgy) anyway this was in 2009, i wrote because I saw a opportunity and went for it, sadly no response came back for the company (isn't that always the case eh) so i decided to just sit on it, i have the ideas for the rest of the series but decided no to write them until i got an interest for the actual idea, so here we are 2011 and another opportunity has come about and i wasn't even looking this time, it kind of found me, i was looking for ways in how to get commissioning for films/projects and stumbled across a company that works hand in hand directly with TV companies and are looking for submissions for ideas, so as you expect, i sent in a log (detail description of the project) so i guess it now the waiting game, why tell you? its a valid lesson, the door that you want to open might not open for you at the time you want it to, this just means you haven't opened the door correctly, the signs are there for a reason, don't push on the door when it reads pull, hopefully you will all find the door that opens for you, in the meantime stay creative and positive, fingers crossed and i will keep you posted.

Regards.

Come And Get Me/Ready For War

I've been pissed off lately no reason in particular, just with society in general and not the the people, but the so called people who are suppose to represent the people, so in my anger and frustration I wrote a very blatant fuck you track towards those that let the people down. i cant tell you anymore but this, the production is completed, the lyrics are ready and it will be recorded and out by the end of this month on a free download, i want everyone to download it and have your middle finger cocked when you drive/ride a bike/going to work/on the train or wherever you guys are, sometimes enough is enough and what I'm saying is nothing you haven't thought of either.

on that note thanks for your attention,support, even just stopping by and reading this.

Out On Amazon

I just got confirmation that my book My Brothers Keeper is now available at Amazon.com
Amazon just made my day

Back to Business

Hows it going, ok its 0040 am and I'm feeling much better (thanks for asking lol) I'm back on the writing, the task is to hit about 1000 words per night, just as a guideline but was told just let the story flow which makes more sense, anyway Ive hit a 10,000 mark and considering Ive taken 3-4 days of i think that's quite good.  I can see the character developing, if you scroll back to previous entries you will see that this book is the first part of three even though its written second. then obviously there has to be a finale even though the first (second) book ends well enough, don't worry you ll understand when its all finished.
So whats up with that Gangsta shit huh? music is music i love and live it, the mixtape is banging and is getting some real love, there is 22 tracks on it so there is something for everyone, take what you feel is what i say, its music and its free so you can't really go wrong.
we will be working on a album next but there is no plans layed out, i guess the Farmboy camp will just start the production and we shall see where we end, however there is a current controversial political song which we are working on titled "get ready for war/come and get me" which has now been written four times, i think this will upset alot of people as the truth tends to do this, i cant tell you what its about, just think Public Enemy meets NWA and i think you will get the picture.
so that's the deal at the moment, tell a friend, download the mixtape and enjoy, there is more to come from myself, the team and the crew.
as always keep it locked keep it

Pressing On

Ok so far were doing ok, (even though i have the flu and only one nostril to breathe out of)
The Mixtape - No compromise is getting the love it deserves so thank you all those that are helping to push it for the masses.
But because I've only been 80% fit Ive taken a pause on the book until Tuesday, I'm still on track and have sent a sample review to a friend of mine who's a book-aholic.
projects to hand: working with a new artists and hopefully be filming more in the new year, were back to back for the rest of the year, i think my highlight will be to actually have a holiday, all in all, were doing it and we love it, look out for KOCA. that's just a tip.

Peace.
