Navi Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 So, I checked the rules for WIP:O and discovered that posted remixers can have one thread a month in Community Discussion. Last I checked, I was a posted remixer, but please inform me if this thread needs to be moved somewhere else... What's up, OCR? It has been a VERY long time since I last posted on these forums, but I'm back again (to someone's chagrin) with news of original material and a remixing proposal for all of you! So in the time I've been gone I've been working on my hip hop 'career', doing shows, putting out music and generally trying to make a name for myself in the local and online scenes. The culmination of all this work is the release of the Grayscale, my debut album. Now, I remember OCR as not really having too big of a hip hop community but I figure I'll drop this here and see what you think. The album is available here for streaming and downloading purposes. Enjoy (or not) and let me know what you think! Furthermore, I'm going to be releasing a megasingle for (radio purposes) of Snakecharmers/Flametongue, two of the tracks on the album. The acapella for Snakecharmers is online here and I was curious to see if anyone on OCR was interested in remixing the track. The way I see it, the five best remixes will be featured on the single that I use to promote to radio/XM/internets/etc. Feel free to hit me back with any questions regarding this project. That much being said, I've been tossing the idea of doing some more hip hop game remixes around...don't be too surprised if you see my name up in the judging sometime soon!

Navi Posted January 21, 2010 Author Share Posted January 21, 2010 Myf! Where the HELL have you been?.... ... oh. That makes sense, I guess. Good to see you back here, though! To be fair, a good half of the time spent away, I was stewing in my own discontent and apathy. The whole music thing really blossomed as a way to escape that phase of my life. Sob story, i know.

The Vagrance Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 Sick album! I'm only a few songs in but its definitely a step up from some of the earlier stuff I heard you did (which is impressive considering how mental Top Secret was). I'd buy this, hell I'm hitting up all of my friends into rap and telling them to check this album out and not just because of some kind of OCR camaraderie but rather because I'm digging whats going on. Good to know you're still doing stuff, best of luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zircon Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 Good to hear from you, man!! Last time I hung out with you was my.. 19th birthday party, before I was dating Jill (geez, time flies.) Come to another Northeast meetup sometime Also, nice new album. I checked out your music a couple months ago when someone pointed me to good examples of hip hop (I'm doing some instrumentals myself.) You've come a long way from Phoenix Down, Party Up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to know you're still doing stuff, best of luck. Thanks, man! I've been trying to get involved with a new movement in renaissance hip hop and hone my game at the same time.

Meteo Xavier Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 You chose the best track to let us try to remix. Snakecharmers is my favorite track on this and I'm half tempted to make an attempt at it myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramaniscence Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 That’s right folks! We’ve received a metric buttload of interest from performers this year, and it’s time for us to open the floodgates for performers to apply to perform at Nerdapalooza. If YOU are an artist interested in performing at Nerdapalooza in Orlando, FL, on the last weekend of June, 2010, then this is what you do: Piece together a press kit that has a biography of you or your group, a promotional photo of you or your group, and a few samples of your music (either studio or live). The samples can be in pure audio or video form. A live sample is preferred so we can have an idea of how you perform. Email said press kit to our talent director, Josh, at artist AT nerdapalooza DOT org with the subject “[Your Name Here] Application for Nerdapalooza 2010″ Have patience, because Nerdapalooza 2010 is still a few months away, and it’ll take us some time to respond to every artist Hopefully this year I can get more than 5 OCR people there, that'd be tops. Sweet album, btw. Been listening to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Navi Posted January 22, 2010 Author Share Posted January 22, 2010 Thanks! I'll have to send that press kit in asap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drayzon Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 I just finished listening to this, and I've gotta say congrats. Even though I'm not a huge hip-hop fan, I love what you've done here. Is there any chance of getting the lyrics? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
