“I am what everybody in my past dont want me to be
Guess what I made it/
I’m the man, I jus’ want you to see it”/

“Quit fronting on me/
Don’t come around and try to gass me up
I like running on E/”

Recently, I came to know that a group of hypocrites & jealous sour-grapes from the old Youth Park, that drink cheap beer from Cheers, are going hot & greasy in their bitching with their “My shit dun stink” mentality on Facebook trying to create a universal “truth” and make it sense like they know me just to undermine what I do. This is rather hilarious given that we probably hung out a couple of times in the past only. It is astonishing also that they went all out to investigate then made & came up all sort of theories like Batman in their spare time so that they can be seen as like they know me.

You know artiste and musicians have always been told to “Pay your Dues” in the scene, which means to do it for free without a talent fee in order to be recognised or be rewarded later.  But time & time again, events which require some form of entertainment, but either lack the budget to do so or just don’t wish to pay, would tell artiste to pay your dues or in a better word exploit this clause.

I have engaged artiste to do free shows but I would try my best to reimburse their food and travel out of good-will so that their effort is not being wasted or being exploited.

Before Singapore Idol, Sharifah Malak was an aspiring singer who hopes to showcase her talent to a wider range of audience so I hooked her up for a short showcase set at Street Clap April alongside Hisham Tha MC:

Now Sharifah Malak is one of the Top24 (edit: Top 12 now) contestants in the piano round for Singapore Idol.  All the best Malak.

I have came across impatient talents, who sometimes would call me constantly for payment, with regards to their talent fee. And at the same time, there are always haters, with mean hearts, who have been spreading lies about how my company pays talent and trying to discredit me & my company as well as how my business is run.

Kanye West: “I am currently greatest of all time right now.  So what if I am a$$hole?  At the end of the day, I delivered and back up all my $hit-talking with my hardwork and my actions.  People and the media is always expecting me to be nice to them all the time.  I am human being for goodness sake.  I do have bad days and times of my life too, you know?  But you can never fault my work, Deal with it.”

One of the brightest and dopest talent in Singapore, Krazie Starr & Richard J, showcased some dope rhymes which they have written over some popular beats.  At the same time, they showcased two new tracks from their up-coming albums specifically, “Witch” from Richard J and “Radio” from Krazie Starr.  Peep the videos and enjoy.
