In a bit of a funk...

So, the album is almost done...this is good...but i've been having this creative funk...which is bad...so i took yet another break from what i'm supposed to be doing and went looking for old beats in an old hard drive. went through a few shitty ones then came across this Ace Won (Down Earf) track which i had forgetten about...

I think we recorded this in 2005. he dropped by, we had one of our usual debates on women, "back in the day", conspiracy theories, etc...then he threw this down in one take...







Now...if you were around in the late 90's, you can't really mention Ace Won without going down memory lane and stopping at Down Earf. Here's a link to Caliph8, Ace Won's and DJ Arbie Won's classic EP, "Knowin' Iz Half the Battle":




While we're at it, check out this clip of Ace Won and Caliph8 droppin an impromptu Down Earf set at Spoken Herb.






There's supposed to be another Spoken Herb coming up this July. Check the Facebook Page for updates on this.

it's funny, i was supposed to be finishing the arrangement on a couple of tracks for the Misc Album and ran into a bit of a creative funk (which has been haunting me the past few weeks). And then got distracted by the world wide web once again...sorry Tibbz...

But sitting here listening to Knowin' Iz Half the Battle and remembering witnessing all the work Caliph8, Ace Won and DJ Arbie Won put into crafting this masterpiece, may have provided the inspirational juice i needed to get out of this funk...
