Sup ya’ll,
I’m using this upcoming album, “Lyricist Manifesto”, to demonstrate my lyrical prowess. I feel the 1st Black and Blue Ink. self-titled album was our best yet, showing our skills in word play, punch-lines and imagery. Through rational thought, I’m trying to challenge myself to make the Lyricist Manifesto a piece of lyrical art that would supply mainstream hip-hop listeners a more enjoyable experience than what they are subjected to on the radio and in clubs.
I try to listen to what’s playing out there…like kanye, 50, the cash money crew, Dipset,Jay-Z ….what have you…… but nothing catches my attention like a powerful verse supplied by those rippers that I do listen to……. Canibus, jedi mind tricks, rakim, and some lesser known cats. I can put together a good verse that can show I can rhyme in my sleep. But what Moon Shyne and I are trying to do in this next album will be a real treat to the hip-hop fan. I often have lyrical bars coming to me throughout the course of the day. What I do is harness that power till I hit the booth and lyrical magic then occurs. What I ask is from ya’ll is to take your ear-muffs off and pay attention to the power of the Lyricist Manifesto!
God Bless, K-maculate

Here’s Vincent, D-Ran a.k.a. Timmy Tidus, and I performing at the Coffee Cave in Newark, New Jersey this past Saturday (July 24, 2010). It was a Black Flag Shoppe event called “NJ HAS IT.” Vincent had a 15 minute set, and in the middle we did this cut. It’s the United Five theme for the clothing label, who also gave me the Biggie Babe t-shirt that I’m rockin in this vid. You can check their stuff out at http://www.united-five.com.
Also, for the latest trends in hip-hop wear from current and up and coming brands, make sure you check out http://blackflagshoppe.blogspot.com/ to check out the Black Flag Shoppe’s official site. You can also visit their store at 244 Lakeview Ave in Clifton, New Jersey.

If you’re in the Newark, New Jersey area, hit up the Coffee Cave tomorrow (July 24, 2010) at 7PM. Vincent will be performing a 15 minute set to open, and I’ll be performing the United Five (clothing label) theme song with GNP members Vincent, Boy Gnyus as well as our homie D-Ran. It’s been a while since we’ve had a 5Fam crossover, and we’ll have a mini-crossover performance tomorrow.

Hopefully, I’ll see you there!
More coming soon. =]

Here’s a new track that’s going to be on our next album coming out later this year called “The Lyricist Manifesto.” This one is called “Scene 2 – The Ink. Tax” which is a continuation of sorts from the track of a similar name on our previous album, called “Scene 1 – The Seige.”
More coming soon! Stay tuned!
