Yes! It’s Christmas! My little gift to you is this collection of holiday songs I’ve been feeling lately. The mix hovers around the soul, funk, rock region, however, it does delve into some beatnik styles as well as some Ska. So listen up and enjoy. It is also available for a free download.

That’s right, Sunday the 10th of July I’m doing an acoustic set (no rapping just guitar and vocals) with my homegirl Hana Mess of The Mess. We’ll be performing under a grape arbor. There will be refreshments as well as a beautiful garden in Park Slope to check out. It’s a super relaxed environment; come out and chill, enjoy the flowers, the sunshine and oh yea the music.

The Garden of Union is located on Union St. between 4th and 5th Aves. (closer to 4th). The R train to Union will suffice. Music will start around 1pm. See you on Sunday.

In honor of the Independence Day weekend, 100dBs and I decided to leak a track fitting the occasion. “Power…” is a gift to our “fans” who have waited 4+ years for a new release from us. We’ll try not to keep you waiting any longer. Until then…

Now listen to a bunch of people singing it by themselves, then put together by the power of technology.

Enjoy

I’ve had a blast working with Beege, Virginia Slimmzz, and everybody that’s passed through the doors of the green room studio. I hope you all enjoyed listening to the songs as much as I have enjoyed making them.

I realized a few weeks ago that I originally stated that I would release 8 songs over 8 weeks from July 6th to Aug. 31st. Well one problem, that’s 9 weeks! So instead of doing 9 songs (I have to go back to my actual job of teaching Kindergarten, so no, I wont be doing that!) I’m taking a week off to work EXTRA hard on song #8. It’s a remake of an oldie, but I wont give it away yet. My good friend P. Murray will be helping out on the final song, so I’m pretty confident that It’ll be a good one.

Enjoy the last days of summer, BBQs, rooftop parties, the beach, whatever you do, take care of yourselves and continue to enjoy the songs below.

Thanks

Da Beege &amp; DJ Sir-Real by Ryan-O&#8217;Neil</a>

The Summer Song of the Week is finally here! As of this past Tuesday, I’ll be releasing a new song every Tuesday for free download for the rest of the summer, 8 weeks, 8 songs. The 1st song is a throwback to summers of yesteryear; “Space Ride” features my 2 best friends Da Beege, DJ Sir-Real and of course yours truly doing a kind of remix to MFSB’s “Love Is The Message.” Make sure to check every Tuesday for a new song…and tell your friends.
