Lost&Found

Wadup yall. Its Terence just getting my feet wet with this thing.

Been tryna load a new track on my music myspace but so far its not showing up.

Anyhow this blog is gonna be a collaborative effort. Sean takes raw pictures and is in general one hell of a visual artist. I'm the words guy. Together we are an unstoppable force of awesomeness. Really not really.

Some food for thought just from my recording session / documentary interview today at the studio; why is it that hiphop artists in general, more so than any other genre, have this unbridled desire to be seen as "real?"

Other genres of music have embraced the aspect of performance as escape from ones own true self, meanwhile Hiphop puts this seemingly incalculable price on legitimacy... To the point that many struggling artists seem to feel the need to fabricate images that they think will be seen as more marketable in the eyes of society.

Whether in music or any other artform, one needs to be conscious that as long as you are putting a product out there, there is always an audience and you need to market for that particular audience. The question is, are you prepared to neglect your roots, sell your soul for a harder rep or a fresh new look?
