The 2009 Register Vol. 9: Selfsays

Saturday, December 26th, 2009

Before, I start I would like to say that I am very flattered to be asked to be a part of the 2009 register and share my views on the year that was. Alright here we go then…2009 was a year that brought such curve balls as celebrity death, Balloon Boy, and the rise of Twitter. Twitter has probably always been on the rise but I wasn’t aware of it, then later became addicted to it this year. Truth be told, I found out about Balloon Boy among other news this year through Twitter. Is that shameful I got a lot of news this year through Twitter? My mom would probably say so. Me, I don’t know how to quite answer that. Maybe, I will have a better answer for you during The 2010 Register. On a side note, the day I recorded my vocals for my song that appears on the PhilaFlava Project, was the same that day Michael Jackson passed.

The Philaflava Project

Monday, November 16th, 2009

Last April both Alaska and myself got the idea to put together a compilation of some of the rappers and producers found on Philaflava. We gave you a taste a few months back with Our Rappers Are Better Than Yours comp, but this project was different, it’s unique and all home-grown. We hand picked submitted beats from producers and matched them with rappers we felt were best suited for this project.

The Philaflava Project’s purpose is to showcase the  array of talents you’ll find on Philaflava. While this doesn’t showcase all the talents found on our website, it definitely gives you a good idea of what we have to offer. If you’re unfamiliar with an artist I strongly encourage you to ask your best friend Google about them. All them would be more than happy to provide you information about their own projects, tours or even build should you feel there is an opportunity.

Our main aim is to bring awareness to both the producers and the emcees involved on this project. While feedback is strongly suggested and definitely appreciated, spreading the word and this album (pass on the links) are most important. Thanks to all the parties involved. Thanks to Alaska & Chace Random for helping make sure this really came out and thanks to Strategy for taking the time-out in tagging all the tracks. Enjoy! –Philaflava
