Back from Japan Tour

I’ve been meaning to post here about the Japan tour since I got home a month ago and I’m finally getting around to it. Many thanks are owed to Puma Japan and Redbook for inviting me out there and promoting this tour so well. Loads of cool cats among their ranks. Many thanks to Japan for being such a dope country with delicious noodles, fast trains, loyal fans, monster soundsystems, beautiful temples, and excellent music. I hope to see you again soon. Many thanks to the mysterious Nujabes for his hospitality and Hydeout Productions for bringing my music out there in the first place. Thanks to labelmate and future collaborator Uyama Hiroto for the jam session. Thanks to the legion of talented musicians I was able to share the stage with (Ge-ology, DJ Taninaka, Sound Market Crew, Hermitude, and all the rest). Arigato!

Please check out the tour blog written by my girlfriend Adrianne for a more in-depth personal account of the entire tour. You will find loads of pictures and links to even more pictures.

Prolyphic – Artist Goes Pop (Emancipator Remix)

So, it’s been a while since I’ve put up some new music. For months I was working on my live show for the recent Japan tour. Now I’m back to production, working steadily on finishing my next album. It might be a while before it’s released, so here’s something for the meantime. The raps are by Providence-based rapper, Prolyphic and this remix was made for a contest held by his label, Strange Famous Records. If you dig this, I would highly recommend “The Ugly Truth,” a collaboration album between Prolyphic and one of my favorite hip-hop producers, Reanimator. This isn’t an official remix, unless I happen to win. Check it:
