Words From the Bandit http://theonehandbandit.com The Blog of The One Hand Bandit, Ryan O'neil Mon, 23 Aug 2010 15:40:50 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 A little Change http://theonehandbandit.com/2010/08/21/a-little-change/ http://theonehandbandit.com/2010/08/21/a-little-change/#comments Sat, 21 Aug 2010 18:44:08 +0000 El Bandito http://theonehandbandit.com/?p=78 The Summer Song of the Week has kept me quite busy over the last few months. 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
el bandido

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.

Ooooh weeee! I’ve been busy. My absence has not been futile. I’ve been busy finishing recording for the Bohemian Rap CD, which will be released on March 4th. Hip Hop Linguistics has 2 of my favorite songs off the release for free download. Little High/ Little Low is the first single, and I guess you could say Leave You All Behind is the B-side. Enjoy.

It’s finally happened. With a little help from my friends at FreeIceCream, my first solo project “Hyphenated & Apostrophed” is now available for free download. This project features production from 100dBs, Sir-Real, and DJ Mark 1.

Lyrics, lyrics, lyrics. I like lyrics (in case you couldn’t tell).
