I first heard Jred at the Hip Hop 4 Flint Charity Event. This was a charity event to raise money for the people of Flint Michigan after their drinking water crisis. At the event I heard Jred perform a nice set. Jred performed a set full of trap flavored bangers. His performance was high energy. Jred danced his way across the stage while playing heavy beats. This all came together for a fun show. Jred I got a chance to listen too Jred‘s full length project “Before The Fame”. My initial impression of Jred is that he is a rapper who is most comfortable making slightly dark, trap influenced bangers. Jred talks a lot about drugs, a lot about his swagger, and a lot about his grind on this project.
The Beatnuts – Watch Out Now Love this song by the Beatnuts, its a true classic. I remember as a kid listening to this song over and over. I actually never saw the video until years later. I don’t know if I am rating it higher than it is because of nostalgia points. No, I don’t think so because I liked it alot as a kid (maybe..). I think the overall level in the song is more than solid. The way that Hip Hop music is going I am not sure this song will be surpassed by future music to come.
I have a list of ten songs that I currently listen to alot. I play these songs on loop while I work or am detoxing form powerful emotions. These songs have no current order of importance, as I am tired and judging that way would be hard (I have a hard time picking favorites). So I am going to list number three and two. # 3 –BØRNS : Holy Ghost (After Dark)- I have become a avid listener of this band. I first started listening to them with their song Past Lives. Honestly, I think I first heard it in a Samsung commercial on Youtube. I tracked the song down (took some time), which ultimately lead me to this song. This song was a bit higher for me but then I actually listened to the entire songs lyrics. Which kinda turned me off because of the severity of the blasphemy which the song acknowledges itself. I still like the song but not as much as I did before. The emotional state of the character in the song was so off balance, this doesn’t seem like love more like obsession. They can feel Read More…
My Uzi Weighs A Ton – Fat Buddha's 6th Bday! Posted by LORD Kimchi on Saturday, August 13, 2016 Beatnuts, Sadat X at Fat Buddha Thursday August 18th, 2016
I have a list of ten songs that I currently listen to alot. I play these songs on loop while I work or am detoxing form powerful emotions. These songs have no current order of importance, as I am tired and judging that way would be hard (I have a hard time picking favorites). So I am going to list number five and four. # 5 –The Lumineers : Ophelia– – I really love the intro the song, it goes down in value a bit for me after the first minute. Still is a great song but hey right, it is what it is(for me). This song stuck with me especially when I was having lots of romantic based inner conflicts. Well, that would be quite a number of songs but this one did play for like 5 hours +, so it made it to the list. Granted Youtube’s playlist has a large part to do with this because I heard it cycle so much the song, kept growing on me. Now its in the loop list category, but maybe I will get over it fully when I full rid myself of this romance bug (its a Read More…

Absolute Zero : Impressions 2 (Music video) Video for “Impressions 2” . This is the second music video I ever made. I really love the juxtaposition of the floating heads and the background. When I came up with the concept for the video I wanted to show that we are playing around, while serious things are happening else where. -Lyrics
Absolute Zero – Things I Control – Music Video Here is the music Video for “Things I Control“. I’m proud of this video, I made it along with my good friend Network. I don’t know how many people fully digested what my lyrics are about on this track. The track has a simple concept, but its easy to overlook if your not paying attention. I really enjoyed making this video. It was really fun to be dark and mysterious for a night. Lyrics

This is Rj Knight with a response to Absolute Zero’s Music Thought “Music Thoughts : Frank Ocean is Back But Will He Have The Same Reach“. In my Rj Context, I made it easier to understand and perceive the Frank Ocean situation for those who do not know or understand the topic and subject matter (type of music, audience, time period, etc). Also It helps those who might not fully remember the events of yester year to properly put the question into context and form a personal opinion and or conclusion. In that I tried t stay as neutral as possible to Absolute Zero‘s question, ultimately will Frank Ocean have the same reach? I will now proceed to respond and answer to some degree that question. —(read Rj Context, for information to response) — Frank Ocean will probably not have the same reach has he did previously. There are many factors working against him, and are making it difficult for Frank Ocean to achieve similar levels of success. Despite this I think that Frank Ocean has the ability (albeit low chance) to achieve close to previous levels. Even if Frank Ocean does not reach his Read More…

Stage Fright I never have stage fright ever. I feel like being on stage is the only time I really can communicate well. Talking in small groups is really difficult for me though.
Here is the next entry in my series of audio engineering. I hope you can enjoy this and grow with me as I try to get my technician skills back up, and test my music knowledge along the way. Audio Frequency So audio frequency is very important to any form of audio mixing. The terms listed below are very useful for communicating different pitches in music. You can commonly find them on any equalizer or DJ mixer you might use. (need post made about what these things are, mike’s thoughts) The three main audio frequencies are approximately
