Thanks to everyone for the love and support…

Anybody that knows me knows that I am a huge R&B fan. This right here is a compilation I made for my homegirl Nanna a little while back. Thought I would share it with everybody. It consists of some of my favourite R&B jams of all time…

Hope you feel it!

Either way, here it is, Rayhaan’s R&B Jams Part 1 baby!. Enjoy!

For the MC’s, I will be doing the same thing with classic instrumentals for you to rock to. I have collected a huge collection of instrumentals. I got something like 3500 instrumentals, and yes, I have rapped to every single one of them several times over! I love music. Yeah!

Either way…Holler at a scholar. lol

Much love!

The images and the intensity of the shots matches the music perfectly.

Been bumping this track for a year straight…

If you are unfamiliar with Wiz Khalifa. Get used to the name. The young man does it big.

As I sit typing this, I am listening to the production for my upcoming album. To say I am excited to show everyone what I have been working and thinking about for so long is an understatement and a half. I am blessed to see through another year of my life as I just celebrated a birthday on the 6th. This year I decided not to do anything crazy, the last two years I threw two jams/release parties. This year I decided to keep it close. Blow some smoke and reflect on the year past. And one thing I can say, is that I definitely worked hard this past year. Mixtape, 2 singles, ManifesTO, opened for Sean Price, Toronto Urban Music Festival show, and super successful Boombox and Crash Landing parties thrown as well. Plus still working my full time job and holding down my household with my brother. All in all, I am proud of my work, but know there is so much to do. I am excited for the work and challenges that lay ahead. You know people always say, “believe in yourself”, well, this year I definitely started to take that to heart. The power of self belief combined with hard work is a life changing combination.
All I can say is I thank God for everything that I have been blessed with and cursed with because I know it only made me grow as a man. I have been blessed to affiliate myself with some great people recently and I am excited for what everyone is going to do. The inspiration and influence is strong and powerful around me and I am taking it in and learning from everything that is happening.

That’s the thing with birthdays too. Just understanding yourself more and realising the lessons you have learned over the year. I definitely had some serious ups and downs through out,  but I always feel grateful for all that I have. If you have been a part of it, then I really do love you. Thank you.

I’m as down as you are. This year we all get it! That’s the way I see it!

If you have been supporting me! Thank you!

If you hate me, thank you too! lol

Much love!

NEF-YOU and I worked very hard on this tape in a very short amount of time. It was an incredible experience doing this with him. Hit the boy NEF-YOU on twitter (@DJNEFYOU).

This project could never have been done without the help of some great people.

NEF-YOU – The grind isn’t stopping brother. This has been a great time.

Faizel – For being the best brother a man could have. Your honesty pushes me.

Minty – Your grind is inspiring brother. Thanks for recording me. Thanks for being a good friend to me man. Much love.

Jesse – Your talent is undeniable. Let’ work more lol.

Pro Logic – You are a boss and are a good dude too.

Omar – For the last minute studio time. The tape wouldn’t have been done without you. Thank you man. (Download Omar LinX x NEF-YOU’s mixtape @ http://usershare.net/djnefyou/lp6t4nh4fj4r )

Everybody else reading this – Your support means everything. Thank you. I will work harder and make better music. Wait till you hear my album! YES! lol

Much love to every person showing love/hate. Thanks to all the blogs for the support!
PEACE!

Hit me up with reviews about it! I’d love to hear what you all think of it!

This past week has been one of the best rollercoasters I have ever been on in my young life…

To say I put the pedal to the medal on my grind would be a complete understatement. To be honest, this whole past two weeks have been a blur as I barely got more then 3 hours of sleep a night. Alot of times less. Me and my homie (4 life) DJ NEF-YOU grinded out this “Southern Hospitality” mixtape that you see above. I really wanted to his this project ready and released on the date of the Sean Price show I was opening up for on the 26th. I started the project exactly a month before that so that didn’t leave much time for any thing to go wrong. I knew I was going to be premiering a lot of new music in my performance and I really wanted everyone who supports me and the Boombox movement to have something from me that they could take home. My motivation through all this was getting that for them. It was for me as well, because in less then a month (writing, recording, mixing, designing, etc.) I put together a release I am very very proud of. Needless to say, it was a process and without the help of some very special and talented people,  I would never have been able to get it done. Big shouts to NEF-YOU, Mint, Jesse, Faizel, Pro, and Omar (especially for that last last minute studio time, thank you brother!)

Last Tuesday we also shot a video for a cut off the mixtape called “Malone and Mint” featuring my homie and future of this hip hop thang, JR Mint.  We shot it at Belvia Sound, Mint’s studio, and the shots I have seen so far have been incredible. I included a photo Jesse took from the video, so look out for that soon! Directed by Jesse Lee Bertrand and Jon Moye. Jesse also did the artwork for the mixtape. He is a super talented dude. Great to work and chill with.

Sp all the work all culminated to the show that was the SEAN P x BOOMBOX SAINTS show this past Thursday at the Revival! As always, the positive energy and good vibes of a Boombox party was in full effect and the show was off…the…hook.

So all this lead the big day! The SEAN P x BOOMBOX SAINTS show! And it is a night I’ll never forget. Seeing the positive reaction from the crowd to my performance was something I felt through my whole being on stage. I love to be up there so much and it’s amazing to have new music to perform for my people there. The response to the new music has been incredible as well. My homie Fundament put everything into this show and I’m glad it was as big of a success as it was. Very proud of that dude right there. The night was dope! Beautiful women, cold drinks, smoke everywhere outside, ill performances, what more could you ask for?! I also got the pleasure to share a meal with the Legendary Sean Price after the show which was also something special getting to politic with the man about the game and the people in it. He is a joker and a half! P! lol

Either way, much much much love to everyone who came out that night and supported! Everyone had a good time and it will be a night I will never forget.

Post above this will have the mixtape!

Enjoy! Let me know what you like and don’t!

Much love!

Your homie,
