Mic Lowrey:The Making of "intro"

30 lbs gone

2009-04-27T14:34:00.002-04:00

I found out I was at 286 and I was like WTF so I decided to do something about it. I decided not to shave until I was able to loose 30 lbs, I look like a homeless preppy going to work and a dad that is going through something when I was at the park with my little one, but the inspiration of seeing that unshaven face and head everyday worked and now it is official I am down to 252 so I am working on toning it up and than LL watch out.

If I do this with my music maybe I will finish something, on time, this year, hell, ever

Staying True

2009-03-08T05:36:00.002-04:00

I have been able to stay true to the vision of my music but everyday is another day, that I wish I had something more, in time all things shall be, but until than, remember me

I just had to rhyme on that didn't I, I am on Twitter and Myspace, facebook personal but not music related, will soon I guess,

I am going to open myself up to some new music this week and hopefully something great can come out of that

Mic Lowrey / "intro" / Coming Soon as well as "The Gucci Selections" and don;t forget about Spit Volumes 1-3

I have not posted

2009-01-30T12:46:00.002-05:00

It has been a very long time since I posted something on the Net, been busy with the businesses that is all, Eye Style Music is still a go and the release of some material is very much the only thing on the menu for right now.

Eye Style (PROMO) is trying to make it do what it do and the other businesses are going as well.

I am going to start to be on here more with my music, so, "intro" may be on included in my new effort. "The Gucci Selections" I have been working on this for some time and I think it is the right thing to do, so instead of giving you 7 joints, it will be a little more.

I am working on an ambitious project as well, called, Iron Mic, that is me over the classic Ghostface Killah album, Iron Man, using the instrumentals of that album, skits and all, so I may be working with my guys on this, if they are up to the game or I may enlist some others,

Another thing I am working on is Spit: Volumes 1-3 which each serve there own purpose Volume 1 is A Retrospective, older joints that I love redone, so inspect a little Kwame, Kid n Play, Slick Rick, Biz Markie, Big Daddy Kane, Kool G Rap, KRS One, LL Cool J, Scareface, Chill Rob G (hometown), and Rakim, Volume 2 is more spit orientated it called The Cognitive Art, that is basically me going in, it will take some time to get that, and the third is Sung, that is me singing some of my favorite tunes, yeah I said singing, like KANYE did with 808, but not the Roger Troutma (T Pain) voice thing just me

56 Days

2008-10-02T03:26:00.002-04:00

Until Black Friday, and I would lie to have a few things done by that time, one, I would like to have some music done, I am forever working on the music, I got my hands on the Instrumentals from GHOSTFACE'S "IRONMAN", I am super gassed, I am going to throw that in the mix, I would like to have something done by Black Friday, I am working on my Christmas Album, A Very, Very, Hood Christmas, and I am excepting joints from people, but they have to be hot, and if you are stuck without an idea but know you can get it popping in the booth, I have plenty, so yeah I would be happy if I had that done for the new year, and the best part about Christmas songs, they are mostly all in Public Domain, which means you can sample from them all you want and not pay a dime in royalties, I am back to my blog now, I think;

My Projects I would like to get started on real soon

Iron Mic (Iron Man, completely redone)
Spit Volume 1: A Retrospective (hot classic beats, new amazing word play)
Spit Volume 2 The Cognitive Art (really on my back pack tip, Williamsburg here I come, No Skinny Jeans[instead of no homo])
Spit Volume 3 Sing It Than (all songs to be sung by me)
The Gucci Selections (here I am world, again)
Intro (7 songs of fire)

Making 50 cents next movie a winner

2008-09-24T14:08:00.001-04:00

Just my thoughts

50 need to step his movie game up, I thought Get Rich was a smash it only made 46M worldwide and it cost 40M to make, compared to Em who 8 Mile cost 36M and made 246M world wide now that is a blockbuster status, 50 need to step his game up with his distribution or something, Tupac Resurrection was in 804 theaters and made $7,718,961 not bad, that is like $9600, per theater, now with 50 infamy he should be able to clear better than that, the number 1 rap movie of all time is 8 Mile and the next far down the line is Malibu's Most Wanted with 34M with a 15M budget (I am surprised there is no part 2), so people what can 50 do to make his low budget movie, a big budget success.
First and foremost he must make sure everyone knows it is coming out, use the Soundtrack to get people excited about the movie, create a trailer with the music and make sure it is an incredible trailer. Give a sneak peak to blogs, a full first 5 minutes of the film to blogs. Give a full G Unit prize pack (with Sneakers, G Unit clothing, Album, and Soundtrack all available, plus a hotel stay and VIP tickets for the premiere and the after party in the city)for the premiere, make the premiere in Queens on Jamaica Ave invite tons of Hollywood people and have Access Hollywood, E, Entertainment Tonight, Insider, BET Black Carpet, all there covering the event.
Go on every show in America, even the less than desirable ones, 106, do a BET special, VH1 special, MTV special, E, ET, Access, Insider, Leno, Kimmel, Late Late Night, Carson, Connan, Chealsea Handler, everything, play up the movie, strike a deal with Magic, play up the story line of telling all sides of the coin, than tell everyone you will be doing a documentary to come on all of Viacom's channels or even My9 or ION, they need shows, about the release of the movie independently, or make a deal with Sundance or IFC, to release the documentary, have it about the making of the album, the press and the movie and the after math, go over numbers of the release, the effects of the music, positioning in stores, and let it be known you will b going to see the movie 20 times in 10 days while doing press and use the Demand widget to see which cities you will be going and have a press release and a radio interview letting people know you will be going to the movies in their town
Follow these rules and you will have make bread to bake up, if not and about two years no one will be wondering about ya cake up, career will be just regular and that would not be a good look....

Like FLav said, it has been a really long time since I posted anything on this page, so I will begin by saying that I have not completed my album, as you can, with the lack of Grammies and all. But I have been busy. Update, I have started work on a few projects, "intro" is coming soon, I am getting the lawyers ready for after I get sued, but that is okay I cannot wait for my first stop order that will be cool, I have all the publishing information, and by doing so I found out that most are organized by the same people, it may say different names but they are mostly at the same address, which is cool, it makes my job easier.

Now the first joint "intro" will have special appearance by John Mayer, Anthony Hamilton, Lenny Kravitz, Jaheim, N.E.R.D, with a Special Hook by Hov (Jay Z) for the uninitiated.

The follow up joint was going to be "The Gucci Selections" still may be, but I am experimenting with a new way of doing music, not really rhyme patters but the way in which they are pushed, which truthfully is my way of making a name or sound, I have coming down the pipe, Spit Vol. 1: A Retrospective and Spit Vol. 2: The Cognitive Art, the first volume will be made with things you know, just in a new way, remake, not sample, cost less, and I hope it gets people wanting to know more about the artist I choose for that one, and I will be selling the hell out of some ring tones and promptly being told not to and than I continue on and get the artist to do shows with me, I have my titles for my official releases, now whether that is with Koch or some major will depend on how the people see the music, I might even start my campaign as the next ambassador of Hip Hop with a slogan, Year of The Gentlemen I know it is Neyo's new album name but I can co op it, I don't think he will mind as much

Until next time, Mic Lowrey "intro" coming soon followed by a bunch of stuff

The Gucci Selections

2007-06-04T19:17:00.000-04:00

Here is the cover down below, Eye Style Music Presents Mic Lowrey "The Gucci Selections"
Wow

It has been a long time since I have posted anything on my blog I use to post on this thing regularly, now it is spearingly. Well either way, I'm back like Hov said with the rigth adjustments like a number bed, (Quote Me Son)

The new joint that I am about to blaze off with is called "The Gucci Selections" (please don't sue me) and it got the nice joints on the cover and a nice pair on the back as well, the Discography has the names and stuff but I have to change two of them joints up, I had originally written them to go on a Mash I had planned for some Neyo joints, but that has passed so I will write a hook for them that can go with the overall theme and mindful that it will be great.

The Science of a Great Ass

2006-06-17T15:26:00.000-04:00

When a guy sees a woman with a nice (bottom, shots to Nelly) there is dopamine
released in the brain. The same thing goes for tits and a gorgeous face, not
to mention a sexy woman.

The problem is that guys are not subtle with it. We see a nice ass or anything
close to sexiness and we can't help it. We really can't and for the most we
shouldn't have to help it. I do admit that men have this power of that could be
real dangerous in the case of sexual predators.

Guys see s great looking lady and because of their weakness they go at the
woman and assault her without provacation from her. When a woman gets dress she is
really looking nice for her own spirits. But guys don't see that. A tight pair
of jeans, a low cut shirt, low riders and tight t's are all great outfits that
drive men crazy. Some go nuts and some are nuts, me I dig the shoes myself.

I wrote a song about the subjects, Foot Fetish and Wonderland. I am writing a
book about Foot Fetish to be released before the record and also a book will be
released of the lyrics of my songs as well. But remember this is about
Songwriting.

Now what the hell is all this about. Oh yeah ass, listen men look we like to
see it, feel it and be with it. Some like em big, round, tight, juicy, or bubble.
From the popularity of Buffie (she my friend) to the way jean are made.
Girlfriends (especially mine) get over it, we look, we get online and look. When were
not with you we look. Some turn around and get crazy with it. Some stop and
gaze at it, some do the slick mirror look. But we all look, so ladies let us stare
and look it aint nothing just looking.

Top Ten

2006-06-01T19:52:00.000-04:00

1. Rakim, the reason everyone thinks he is the best cause they could never imagine themselves saying what he say
2. Kool G Rap, he invited Gangsta Rap for the NY Streets and that is basically it
3. LL Cool J, he showed everyone how to love and still is he may be the greatest of all time
4. Big Daddy Kane, just cause no one can spit like him. PERIOD
5. Biz Markie, he mad funny the thing now you have careers based on what he did, Ludacris, Redman anyone

When these guys rapped in the Golden Era everyone did not think they could rap, but when the guys down below started doing it, everybody in they momma tought they could spit a hot 16, bt the truth is what? Can the top really be these guys I forgot Moe D, Caz, Mel what about Kris.

6. Biggie, Hands down, maybe the best to ever spit that "everyone included" shit
7. Jay Z, 8 summers and counting, what is a party without a Jay Z record believe me, Italy, Spain, Wherever he is the party starter
8. Nas, no one except Rakim can make a song and have you believe you cant do that
9. 2pac, his passion put him here, he could of easily been left off, but the passion is what made him, Common, Snoop, Scareface (actually this is his spot now)
10. Cam'Ron or Jadakiss, who those more people rap like now, Cam' circa SDE or Jadakiss circa Kiss of Death I dont know but it is very close, check out the mixtape DVD's and you tell me

Sir Hova of Brooklyn

2006-03-28T17:56:00.000-05:00

Hove's Home

"Yes Sir I'm cut from a different cloth", in the words of the Big Homie Hova, BK stand up.

Well I got the chance to see Mr. Young Mediterranean himself last week. It was great seeing him and it was something straight out of one of his video’s first he pulls up while I am walking down the street. The call time for the event said to be there at 11:30 am and here I go walking down the block at 12:15 pm, all ways good though. This dude pulls up in a Black Phantom (Rolls Royce) I mean that damn thing was clean as hell. It has the suicide doors (reverse opening) and he puts the leg out while sporting the nice trench coat (tan color, like timbs) with a fresh pair of S. Carter sneakers www.reebok.com/rbk, he was looking fresh and he was on the phone being so cool (a theme throughout the interview) I walked right in front of dude and it took everything not to stream "Hova! Hova! Hova!" but I was cool and calm.

I finally go inside and it is standing room only. Jay Z was being taped for a show on the Yes Network called Center Stage hosted by Yankee announcer Michael K. The show is coming on if I am not mistaking real soon but check your local listings. Jay came out nice to the encore beat playing in the background and thunderous applause, but they didn’t have something right so he did it again, this time even more ruckus.

They jumped right into the interview covering everything from his childhood to his taking over the reigns at Def Jam; as well as everything in between. First off was how Jay got into music and a little bit about how he starting writing. He said things that were well documented like he starting writing in books and once he went outside he started using paper bags and finally moving on to the coop that makes him Hova, the mental exercise and how he uses memory to write the rhymes and than delivers them. It is an art within itself to hear about a guy doing that and than to have Biggie be the same way you just know greatness is not made but born. Everybody that is trying that now, it sounds like it, thoughts all over the place but this guy is consistent with his.

Speaking on his childhood he spoke about his pops leaving and how he got the name Jay Z, they use to call him Jazzy from the way he dressed (My cousin LoLo use to call me that, just remembered that) and he just took the Jay and Z part and it stuck. He spoke on the projects and the dynamics of the hustling game and how the end is death or jail. He spoke on the true story behind 99 problems that he was pulled over and had some things in the car but would not let the cops check the trunk and a sniff dog was nowhere around and how a few minutes was difference between jail and his life now. He said as he was riding down the street the K9 (that if were closer would of been disastrous for him) Unit was riding the other way going towards where he came from.

He talked about the beginnings of the ROC and how he, Dame and Biggs could not get a deal anywhere and the places that did offer things were basically going to rob and destroy his future. So he went the only route he knew how, he did it himself. They first started selling out the trunk and giving some away on consignment to the stores one of the first being Beat Street downtown Brooklyn on Fulton Street in the Fulton Mall.

From there he put out his first single "In My Lifetime" he basically White Labeled it (that is when a artist puts out music with no cover art and independently). The Host said that he put this out first but some in the crowd said that no his first release was Reasonable Doubt, and the host said no it was "In My Lifetime" and Jay said "See He know what he talking about" Micheal K said I said the first single not the first album, Reasonable Doubt was later and he was correct.

The show was great, Jay is an incredible interview, funny witty and charming as he has pointed out numerous times throughout the interview without sounding cocky. This dude is a man's man, no wonder men want to be him and woman want to be with him. Listening to him its not hard to see why the hottest chic in the game (acording to Sir Hov on Public Service Announcement from his 'swan song'the Black Album) Jay spoke on Beyounce and stated that people seem to doubt her singing ability and writing ability because of her beauty and said that people tend to overlook her because the music she comes out with are huge and she does not get the props she deserve.

When Micheal K asked him what is some of the things that he wished he could do over in his music career he said nothig really and than dropped that his second album would of been a classic if not for his ambition to get that plaque (Platinum) he said that there are three songs on there that he wish he could have not put on there, one being the "Sunshine" joint with Babyface and Foxy Brown he said it wasn't a good look, I think the song was great, but after his explaning why it could of been on something else, he was right. The album had joints on it like "Face Off, Friend or Foe 2, Streets is Watching, Imaginary Players, You Must Love Me" that album was sick and those not get the proper respect it is due, even from Hov himself.

He found out he was big after seeing the line of people that came out for signing of his third album "Hard Knock Life" he said that there was helicopters and police and he couldn't get out the door of the store and the crowd was crazy, that stop was Virginia and than it happened in every state that he went to after that. And he saw the change from when he could go shopping and people would be like "hay I like your music" to not being able to be out much without being mobbed.

He spoke about the start of Rocawaear and how he went to iceburg, with his partners and ask for the (private) plane and a bunch of other incedentals they said no. He said he was at a show and saw how everybody in the audience had on Iceberg cause he was shouting them out in his music. he looked at it and him and his partners went to Iceberg owners and asked to be the spokesmen and get lots of money and the plan and cars and they said, get out, and they decided to start rocawear. (Maybe they should have gave him the plane). Rocawear became one of the most profitable urban clothing lines and grossed upward of 500 Million to date. They started witht- shirts and hats and than took it everywhere, while Iceberg has seen its better days past them by and you would be hard pressed to see them in many stores today.

Jay went on to talk about many things but the one thing he stayed clear of was the mess with Cam'Ron and the break up of the Roc. Always reffering to the company as 'we'. Talked about his business ventures like the watch and his music taste being all over the spectrum and his watch deal and he showed off the S.Carter sneakers he had on and went on to mention that he was the only non sports athlete to have his own shoe; that it was the biggest shoe opening in Reebok history. They thought it would sale a few 100 pair and sole 10K in the first week alone. Spoke little about the signing of Rick Ross and his take over of the Roc. He said he was ready to leave and than the Def Jam thing came and said how could he pass it up.

When asked about who he would like to see perform he said Marvin Gaye would be the person he would like to see most, when asked what was his greatest acheivement as far as professional he said the gig at Madison Square Garden, he was also asked about how it feels to perform with Paul McCartney (at this years grammy; where he won with Lincoln Park) he said cool, he siad dude is a Knight but I am too, Sir Hova of Brooklyn and the crowd went wild.

All in all it was a great show and Young Mediteranean, Young Hov, S (DOT), El Presidenti, Jay Z, Jigga, Hova, Shawn, Hov'ee, whatever you call him, just remember the dude is a legend so lets not forget that, PEACE TO SIR HOVA OF BROOKLYN

Hipper to Hopper

2006-03-28T17:42:00.000-05:00

Hay there on March something or nother I had to pleasure of seeing something that I thought I may never get a chance to see. That was my main man Just Ice of the old Boogie Down Productions Crew straight out of the South Bronx perform in Manhattan.

The lucky occasion that gave me the chance to see history was the unveiling of the Connex List published by the Wonder Twinz out of Strong Island. These brothers are keeping the faternity of hip hop alive with their vision and helpful hand that they have given to the people to keep them intune with hip hop and the people who create it.

The show was great, it was actually a performance by that 90s Native Tongue collective known as Black Sheep "Who's the Black Sheep, What's the Black Sheep" yeah they perfromed "Choise is Yours" their megahit from the early 90s along with some new stuff that they are trying out. They have a new album that is dropping and you can check for them on MYSPACE, I don't remember the page but I am sure you can get up with them.

The night was a great success, and the new Connex List book with The Kool DJ Red Alert on the cover was a great read, it featured, Mobb Deep, Busta Rhymes and some new cats and unknowns as well. check out www.wondertone.com and ask them to send you a pdf copy of the Connex List you won't regret it.

At the party also was Dana Dane, remember Nightmares and the Kango crew with Slick Rick, yeah he was in the building. Shots to the Movie Brown Sugar for that piece of history.

All in All it was a very good night.. Thanks WONDER TWINZ check them out on their website and pick up a t-shirt www.wondertwinz.com

Hay people

Well Spring is almosty here (can't wait-a little too cold this pass week) and that means that the hip hop scene is about to heat up. Make believe beefs and all is about to pop off.

When the tempature breaks so does tempers so be prepared people

I am currently working on the Eye Style Music site so look out for that. I am also opening the eye STYLE music office's in NY, West Coast and London {Maybe} but this will take some time but I am preparing a full blitz for April the first single should be poppin by than. {Foot Fetish by Mic Lowrey) and than I am also working on my producer thing and trying to finalize the B.A. e.p. it will be call (Be A) it is going to be nuts as well. This is a spitter who will be one to watch in the near future.

I am also trying to get my Direct on and I am going to have a part in a movie {I don't have any lines} but it is a start. Shots to Elements of Hip Hop they got the dance competition coming this May and it is going to be nuts the tryout is this month March 17 I believe so if you close to NYC get at me dog.

Last but not least my thoughts on the current hip hop environment, not good, to much B.S. not enough music. These days they want to know if you have a story survived the Katrina Disaster and you may just get yourself a record deal, it helps if someone died, it is getting nuts.

I am Rap, I was born for this, Neo in the flesh, I was not created to stop the machine but to make sure things were more even with the machine and the people so that is what I intend to do. Mic Lowrey "intro" eye STYLE music, Man of Letter's coming soon...

I have the eye STYLE shirt for my people who speak Italian for the big guys and little guys, and I also have a stamp, you should collect it. It is all available from the buton to the right.

Mic Lowrey "intro" coming soon

Oh yeah, i learned something about hacking your cell phone, to make calls from your house phone but using your cell phone night minutes 9most likely free) so this is my tip of the day.

Take your cell phone and dial *21* (NNN) NNN-NNNN# replace the N with the number and area code that you plan to dial, after doing this press send on your cell phone, than dial your cell phone number from your house phone and remember to press #21# so that other people who call your cell phone dont get connected to the number you dialed.

Now this could be good for drunk dialing for long distance relationships and instead of your cell phone it could be a pay phone, best part the called ID picks up the number you dialed from not the cell phone, there goes the end of long distance charges on your phone, I hope.....

All hail Kanye, Hova, John Legend and Mariah, next year Keyshia Cole gets like 5 nominations but she in the categories with Mary and Alicia and you know Alicia is going to win like two for Unbreakable and Mary is going to win for Be Without You, so maybe best new artist for you Keyshia but she have to get her profile up and not be so hood with it, Jeezy may take hip hop record next year though, either way, I'll Holla

The human brain has multiple mirror neuron systems that specialize in carrying out and understanding not just the actions of others but their intentions, the social meaning of their behavior and their emotions.
"We are exquisitely social creatures," Dr. Rizzolatti said. "Our survival depends on understanding the actions, intentions and emotions of others."
He continued, "Mirror neurons allow us to grasp the minds of others not through conceptual reasoning but through direct simulation. By feeling, not by thinking."
The discovery is shaking up numerous scientific disciplines, shifting the understanding of culture, empathy, philosophy, language, imitation, autism and psychotherapy.
Everyday experiences are also being viewed in a new light. Mirror neurons reveal how children learn, why people respond to certain types of sports, dance, music and art, why watching media violence may be harmful and why many men like pornography. Sandara Blakeslee NY Times, Science Time, January 10, 2006

What does this mean for Hip Hop you ask?
Well, some say that imitation is the highest form of flattery. Well with this study by the doctor's led by Giacomo Rizzolatti, a neuroscientist at the University of Parma, it is not just that some people feel the need to bite. It is that we all feel the need to bite. Other wise how could you explain the "it" bag for woman or Air Forces for men. We have to have them and it is not because a rapper says so or some celebutaunt is rocking it. The main reason could be found in -our mental load. The brain cavity; we do it cause we see it.

Video's are the main point here, the music that we listen and why it sounds the same. It's not that the creativity of others is bad, it is because mentally we are pre disposed to do so. Back when Rakim and Kane rules the airwaves the reason why we did not see a bevy of bitters was because the technology at the time did not allow one to do so. But now with Pro Tools (I really need a tutor) and the Internet it is very easy to mimic what 50 cent is doing the night or day that you hear it. That is the reason so many NY rappers were sounding like Hov at one point, it is a testament of his abilities that many were sounding this way.

If you listen to Mix Tapes in the New York area in 99-2003 everyone was sounding like D Block and the reason was that from listening to these freestyles and writing afterwards, the voice that is saying the rhymes back to you is not your own; because you have yet to hear your own, but you did hear D Block so it sounds okay coming from Kiss even though you wrote it.

The Sport of Business (Mark Cuban)

2006-01-05T16:31:00.000-05:00

Motivation can come from anything, as an artist one has to understand that the motivation thta will take you to the level that you complain about is right in front of you. Today I read this blog that was linked to www.prohiphop.com everyone must remember Dame Dash Ultimate Hustler Rules (Know Your Trade) so that means studying every mag/website/book/newspaper article about it, my trade happens to be Hip Hop. I like this blog entry so much I am posting it on my blog-

The Sport of Business.

I can’t go more than a week without shooting baskets. There is something about the feel of the ball coming off my hand, and the sound of the ball going through the net. It just feels good.

If I’m just standing in the gym, I can shoot pretty well. Playing in a game. Well it’s not quite what it used to be. I used to have a spin move that would work for me no matter who I was playing against or what level they were at. If I could get a pick and the defender went under, I didn’t have to think about it, I could hit the shot. These days, my mind knows what to do, but my body just laughs at me. Put me up against 20 year olds, and I won’t embarass myself but it’s only because I know how to set a pick and hit an open, a very wide open jumper, and spend the rest of the game getting out of the way.

I love to compete. I always have. Playing basketball was just something I had to do no matter how good I was and its something I will always do, no matter how old I get. It gives me a chance to blow off steam. It gives me a way to refocus.

But no matter how much I love to play the game or how involved and competitive I get during a Mavs game, it’s only a minor release. Real competition comes from the sport of business.

In sports, you know who your opponents are. You know when you are going to play a game. You know pretty much how long the game will last. It’s mentally and physically exhausting if you are at the top of the game, but it still pails at the effort required to be successful in business.

The sport of business isnt divided into games. It’s not defined by practices. It doesn’t have set rules that everyone plays by.

The sport of business is the ultimate competition. It’s 7x24x365xforever.

I love the sport of business. I love the competition. I love the fire of it. It’s the feeling of the clock winding down, the ball is in your hands, and if you hit the shot you win…all day, every day.

Relaxing is for the other guy. I may be sitting in front of the TV, but I’m not watching it unless I think there is something I can learn from it. I’m thinking about things I can use in my business and the TV is just there.

I could take the time to read a fiction book, but I don’t. I would rather read websites, newspapers, magazines, looking for ideas and concepts that I can use. I spend time in bookstores because 1 idea from a book or magazine can make me money.

I’m not going to go to dinner with you just to chat. I’m not going to give you a call to see how you are. Unless you want to talk business. Other guys play fantasy sports. I fire the synapses to get an edge.

That’s what success is all about. I’ts about the edge.

It’s not who you know. It’s not how much money you have. It’s very simple. It’s whether or not you have the edge and have the guts to use it.

The edge is getting so jazzed about what you do, you just spent 24 hours straight working on a project and you thought it was a couple hours.

The edge is knowing that you have to be the smartest guy in the room when you have your meeting and you are going to put in the effort to learn whatever you need to learn to get there.

The edge is knowing is knowing that when the 4 girlfriends you have had in the last couple years asked you which was more important, them or your business, you gave the right answer.

The edge is knowing that you can fail and learn from it, and just get back up and in the game.

The edge is knowing that people think your crazy, and they are right, but you don’t care what they think.

The edge is knowing how to blow off steam a couple times a week, just so you can refocus on business

The edge is knowing that you are getting to your goals and treating people right along the way because as good as you can be, you are so focused that you need regular people around you to balance you and help you.

The edge is being able to call out someone on a business issue because you know you have done your homework.

The edge is recognizing when you are wrong, and working harder to make sure it doesn’t happen again.

The edge is being able to drill down and identify issues and problems and solve them before anyone knows they are there.

The edge is knowing that while everyone else is talking about nonsense like the will to win, and how they know they can be successful, you are preparing yourself to compete so that you will be successful.

That’s what makes business such an amazing sport. Everyone plays it. Everyone talks about how good they are or will be at it. Just a small percentage are.

Every single day someone has an idea. Every day someone talks about some business they want to start. Every day someone is out there starting a business whose entire goal is to beat the hell out of yours. How cool is that.

Every day some stranger from any where in the world that you have never met is trying to come up with a way to put you out of business. To take everything you have worked your ass off for, and take it all away. If you are in a growing industry, there could be hundreds or thousands of strangers trying to figure out ways to put you out of business. How cool is that.

The ultimate competition. Would you like to play a game called Eat Your Lunch. We are going to face off. My ability to execute on an idea vs yours. My ability to subvert your business vs your ability to keep it going. My ability to create ways to remove any reason for your business to exist vs your ability to do the same to me. My ability to know what you are going to do, before you do it. Who gets there first? Best of all, this game doesn’t have a time limit. It’s forever. It never ends. It’s the ultimate competition.

It’s the sport of business. It’s not for everyone, but I love it.

I’m fortunate. I have done well enough financially that I don’t have to play 24x7x365. I can and have cut back to 18x7x365. Family first now.

But in those 18 hours, you can bet I’m competing, and loving it.

But that’s me. You have to figure out what works for you. Mark Cuban www.blogmaverick.com

Hay What Up

Hay people, this is very interesting, I was in Barnes and Noble the other day reading a book (why pay when you can go to a nearby huge store and read some books).

I came across a magazine for Gospel music and I asked the question how mny people know about this. The magazine is called XII and you can check it out at www.xiimagazine.com here is a positive mag for the urban community that I have never heard of, why is that?

Another question is are there any PODCAST for Malcolm X or Martin Luther King speechses.

If the ROC is in the building say Hell Yeah, throw ya diamonds in the air. No I am not signed to Rocafella, {only wish} but I did attend a charitable community function that they held last night at Chelsea Piers AMF Bowling Alley. Did I mention it was freezing last night in NY, well it was, but the bowling was pretty cool?

My first couple of rolls was very suspect. My youngest and oldest {same person}, it was her first time bowling. And boy did it show, nah she was good, it took her a while but she finally got the hang of it. I played video games at the Bowling Alley as well, they need some new games they have the same games that were there a few years ago.

Either way, the food was good even though as a Diabetic I should not have been eating so much darn pizza, but the JETS did when so celebrating was definitely in order.

The highlight of the night was when our host of the evening announced that there would be a fashion show, performed by kids from the P.A.L., in QUEENS, wearing some of Rocawear’s next spring line. And I have to say these guys are really starting to impress me with their clothes. Before the only thing that I would wear of theirs was maybe a shirt. Now I have jeans and coats and hats and all types of things, I really love what they have been doing and I hope they keep up the good work.

Thanks to Rocawear for giving back to the community, with the Team Roc program www.rocawear.com for more details. Thanks to Aleesha Smalls the host for the evening putting on a wonderful show and thanks to AMF Chelsea Piers.

What's Your {eye} STYLE

2005-12-09T17:02:00.000-05:00

The quintessential elements of style can represent and actually broadcast the personality of the bearer. Many people advance their beliefs or culture through their style. One’s philosophy, station, and/or behavior are pigeonholed by style choices. If you disagree, consider the assumptions drawn about a person in a double-breasted suit and wing tips versus baggy jeans and white tee. Those diametrically opposed styles conjure up a radically different response from others; the former is assumed to be a distinguished professor, banker or businessman, while the latter might inspire instant disdain and dismissal as a thug. And on any given day, the same person might inhabit both outfits.
The conservatively attired person is automatically assigned certain attributes; intelligent, clean, dignified, professional and urbane. The casually dressed person—especially if pimped out in hip-hop-inspired gear—is also subject to being labeled: thug, drug dealer, threat, unsophisticated, criminal, most likely to be profiled, highly likely to catch a case. That’s not fair or right but it is exactly how folks think.
Wolf or sheep?
Visual clues can mislead or be misinterpreted. The kufi and kente cloth-wearing person might be deemed culturally aware and enlightened, but he may not know Malcolm Little from Stuart Little. The community activist—resplendently robed in causes—trumpets equitable treatment for the downtrodden but runs a terror dome at home. The Gucci, Rolex and Lexus may spell a-f-f-l-u-e-n-t or p-r-e-t-e-n-t-i-o-u-s, but more often than not it also spells b-i-l-l-s, national debt-sized ones.
What’s your style profile? Are you duping the latest fad, hoping to gain a persona envied by others? Are you on the leading edge of tastefulness or just leaning over the edge? Did you choose your persona or are you hoping your clothes, car and house will do that for you? Did you buy the person you are presenting to the world as your authentic self? If you did purchase your image, does the store accept returns? If so, you might want to hurry and get your money back.
Don’t follow the crowd, don’t appropriate a bankrupt style; you’re destined for greater heights than that. Concentrate your efforts on acquiring the inimitable accoutrements that defy fads, labels and time: a love supreme, healthy body and the wisdom of a sound mind. There is nothing more powerful than being comfortable in your own skin. Save the faux for fur. Peace. Think.

I am a Diabetic

2005-12-02T17:57:00.000-05:00

Hay there America, I am a diabetic, the other day I went to the tapping of the a show that comes on CNBC every Sunday at 7:00 pm called dLIFE. The show is about people living and thriving with diabetes. I found out I had Diabetes on August 12 this year, and boy was I sad.

To an extent I am still sad, I spend most days in the house and it really is effecting my music, I went to see this show that I learned about in September called dLIFE, the show is hosted by Mother Love, Comedian J. Anthony Brown, Ms. America 99 Nicole Johnson Baker and Actor Jim Turner.

I watched the show and it inspired me somewhat, to know that there is people living with Diabetes in America and are still thriving and doing what it is that makes them happy. When I went to the tapping of the show, it was the sports show and it featured some sport stars living with Diabetes. Kendrell Simmons a linemen for the Pittsburgh Steelers, A pitcher from the Detroit Tigers and a long distance runner that runs for over 50 miles during her long distance runs.

The main thing learned from listening to these people's stories is that even though life has dealt us a blow and that we must change the way we eat, sleep and excercise. Living with Diabetes is hard but when you have it, you use control it. I got a button that says test don't guess. If I here make it to the point that I am highly visible the world will know to test and not guess, because the most important part of a diabetic life is living.

Hello

Inspiration can come from anything, when you are an artist you can be inspired by the smallest of situations or the grandest of opportunities.

For instance last week , a day before my born day, NOV 23, I was at a arthritis foundation of NY benefit auction. Now, I barely have enough for the studio let alone an auction. I was only at the $500 a plate function as a show of support. The foundation was giving an award to Earl Monroe for Sportsman of the Year.

I was at a table with The President and COO of HIP yeah that HIP, it was so funny here was this struggling kid in the room with Millionaires, the auction was not even close in my price range, at first I thought I was like going to get something, they had a Tiffany Necklace and the bidding was at $150, not expensive, but this was the beginning of the night, by the time everyone ate dinner, the Lobster was great, that paged looked like a phone book list it was full.

My table was full of people from HIP from the VP of Marketing to the VP of Sales it was cool, and all around the room you had very rich powerful people coming together to raise money for a great cause, Arthritis, my grandmother has it so I know it needs all of the support we can give it.

To donate go to www.arthritis.com and you should be able to find some helpful links.

Mic Lowrey.

The Grind is to be Told

2005-11-15T19:36:00.000-05:00

Hello

Welcome people, today is a good day, I had a productive meeting yesterday with someone who told me what needed to be told to me, that I needed help and that I can't do it alone. And now I realized that. I am the artist as well as owner of the label that I am releasing my music through. As you cam imagine it is very hard wearing all hats so now I will start to let other help me out more.

I am a research nut, I spend hours looking for information and when I get it I am so happy and than it is time to look for more. I am reading a book right now about starting a record label and it is very good and thre author is just generous with resources and thingsof that nature the name of the book is "Start and Run your own record label" be Daylle Deanna Schwartz owner of Revenge Records. This book should be the beginning of your reading list if you are going to start a label, she breaks down everything from publishing to positioning your music.

With this in mind I have found some helpful numbers and websites that could be of good use and I plan to use them.

So I have officially pushed back to release of my single until further notice and I thik I am going to go to a Pro Tools School for some help on my production skills, I really need to, but I PROMOISE, that I will try to have something out befoe the end of the year, I really want to perform at a New Years Eve party so I am going to try to make a go of it.

Earl Monroe restaurant

2005-11-02T17:50:00.000-05:00

The other night I went hob nobbing with some of NY finest talent. That be the business men and woman as well as a few former athletes and Hall of Famers to boot. In the house was a host of former Knicks players that played with Mr. Monroe as well as John Starks and Walt Clyde Frasier. Rep. Charles Rangel was in the place as well as other dignitaries and entertainers from the great City of Harlem and all of NY as well.

Monday, October 31, was the opening of the Earl Monroe restaurant. The event was organized by his wife Mrs Marita Monroe, and I have to say it was incredible. The reason I was there was that my significant other, is their niece. So as you can imagine sometimes I get invites and knowledge of things I would not have ever known but would more than likely read about in the paper.

A highlight of the night was speaking with Sir Shadow an artist that has been really blessing the scene for some time and happens to be a great person. His drawings could be found at www.sirshadow.com and believe me they are worth it. He has a book that is at the Hue Mann Bookstore next to the Magic Johnson theater in Harlem on 125th Street. He drew me a picture that was just out of this world and you may see it on a CD or something, this guy is amazing and I am just here to spread the word.

The restaurant is located on 145 right on Riverside in the park, which is great location. It has valet parking and the view of the water and the George Washington Bridge is astonishing.

All and all it was a great, I cant wait until it open and we can go there and get some food. And speaking of food, being that it was an opening we had to go to another place to eat. Which was Amy Ruth's on 116th Street in Harlem, wonderful, wonderful, wonderful, there greens are just great and the Mac and cheese, ummm.

The Movement Has Begun {Part 1}

2005-10-27T13:56:00.000-04:00

Well, my movement of sitting on my behind and not making good on promise to make music by a certain day, the deadline was pushed back again from Oct 20 which was the other night.

The reason it went from 23 of November to the 20 of October was because I was going to lecture given by Kevin Liles former President of Def Jam current VP of Warner Music.

The talk was great, he gave out the email to the guy at Asylum Records, home of the Dip Set and Swisha House and other labels that Atlantic does not want to take that much of a chance on. Asylum is like the indie label of the fold. (todd.moscowitz@wmg.com) HE'S HOT

He spoke on his rules for Business which would be the same for any successful manager that has garnered world wide admiration for a company that has made 100's of Millions of dollars.

He has a Blog on AOL and it is one of those audio blogs where he post things and it is great, just go to AOL and type in Kevin Liles I did not copy the link as I have not used AOL in a very long time, my brother used it cause his Broadband was acting up.

Either way the lecture was great. I met some people there that could be helpful and making sure that "intro" goes to the place that it needs to be, which is to you guys.

Walter Randolph is an inspirational soul, he left college and basically slept on the street to become an intern at the best music house for hip hop, DEF JAM, now he will be rewarded cause Liles took Walter with him over at Warner and big things will happen for him.

Which brings me to a quick crossroad, Who Moved My Cheese by Spencer Johnson is a wonderful book that if read could change your perspective on things if you want it.

I think this kid personifies that spirit of change and has inspired me to keep going and all things are going to be great.

I also met a guy that was the driver for Liles but is now the Co-Owner for the Russell Simmons Music Group, I mean that is big, I have their contact information and I will be getting in touch real soon.

I left there and went downtown to the Underground side of things for the launch of the Connex List magazine published by the WonderTwinz www.wondertone.com. This book is so good and a great read, it is just something that can help any musician whether they be urban or whatever.

OC performed as well, he is a great talent still, he first hit back in like 94-95 with Times Up, "you lack the minerals and vitamins" remember that joint. Yo he made me change the way I spit. For real I was not into getting thoughts across that was totally on the money. I wanted to make people either laugh or be scared. But than listening to this guy and CL Smooth and it was like yeah Hip Hop can be lyrically great. Cause you see with Rakim, I really could not see myself being like that guy, he is just too good. Kane made me think I could do it, but again, who could put words together like him. But with OC, QTip, CL & Pete I begin to say yeah I could do this, and I am still am.

Thanks E.A.R.S [Tonya]

2005-10-12T19:02:00.000-04:00

I was at a conference last night for music and the explosion of Reggaeton [given by E.A.R.S. www.earstalentshowcase.com], to all the people that think this is a fad that will go away soon, realize that there are over 41 million Latinos in this country alone, you have them from everywhere and even though there traditions maybe different and they don't particular like each other [Puerto Ricans Dominicans] but they share one common bond and that is a language that other people dont speak.

Think about it, there are here in America this foreign land of big dreams and idea's and the teachers, government and neighbors speak differently, so how exciting is it to run into someone who speaks like you, it is great, that is why communities in Chinatown, to Indian Squares to Polish to Russian communities just come together, but what is different for the Latino standpoint is that even though the people are of different origins the language is the same.

So the Reggaeton and Spaninsh Hip Hop is not going anywhere and it will get bigger everytime someone from DR, PR, COSTA RICA, MEXICO, BELIZE, HONDURAS, NICARAGU, PANAMA, and the other 27 spanish speaking countries come to this country....Plus it is a youth thing...

The people on the Panel were Anthony Ramirez who was the manager for Daddy Yankee [11 $million contract from EMI-BIG], a guy from Soulantina, a company that get gigs and venues for artist, Rayroq Acosta President from Wu Tang Lation www.wutanglatino.com, Popi a big wig over at BMI Latino, the guy that gets you your checks, and two ladies from The Girls Entertainment [a promotion firm that is responsible for the image of our favorite artist we see] the panel the entire industry covered actually and than the Guru of Street Marketing BUDAH was also in the building and for the producers out there cnotact me he is willing to give up a Fruity Loop library of Reggaeton beats and I have his number so holla at me...

The second panel was More hip hop, you had a publisher from Sessac, Trevor, he spoke about believing in your passion and keeping your dream, he also talked about the importance of the copywrite and publishing, also on the Panel; the Star Maker of the year according to his peers, Bryan Leech from TVT records, he spoke about the Independent Hustle and how the majors are trying to get some of that hustle. Also on the Panel was the aforementioned Bonsu Thompson of XXL Magazine and a whole host of other publications that he works on, from King to XXL Soul [when is the next issue coming] he was the catalyst I like that guy he speaks well and his analysis is good off the cuff, DJ Absolut, this guy needs a Public Speaking class he gets nevous and studders in public cause on the radio he those not, he needs to formulate his thoughts a little better as well, I knew what he was saying but a lot of people were like Huh, next on the panel was the Brother Paul and Bow Legged Lew from Full Force, these guys stay relevant for producing for Britney Spears, Nysnc, Backstreet Boys and every other pop group you could think of, just think between them and Maurice Star why is not more Blacks feeling the Boy Band Pop stuff it is evident who is creating it. Last on the panel was the Czar himself Jimmy Henchmen, I was like damn, I remember Pac talkig about this dude and every body in NY hip hop giving up the LOVE to him, to the How Can I be Down music seminar in MIAMI, that was huge, he gave me the most inspiration because I know he has been through it and came out on top, so that was great.

The Spanish Panel gave more business insigt than the other panel, but both were incredibly important for me, and I think it will help me get to my goal of being a good artist which will lead to me helping to chnage the world for the better. Ciao

A New Is Approaching

2005-10-06T18:31:00.000-04:00

Hello

I am not only a client I am also the President,of Eye Style Music, Mic Lowrey, yeah… "intro"

Well people today is a good day, first because the world of journalism is starting to realize that if a big enough astank is made change can happen. Bush will not be appointing his friend to be a Supreme Court Justice, trust, well in other news,I think I am about to unviel the next realm of T.V. enterprising.

The guy that created the Blair With Project, Dan Myrick has just started a television show on the net called “The Strand of Venice” www.strandvenice.com and if you act now youcan atch the pilot episode for free. Than you can subsequently watch each additional 30 minute show for 99¢, imagine that, you can’t beat it, this in itself should start a revolution with television shows.

It was announced a few days ago that the big networks, CBS, FOX, ABC, NBC, WB, UPN would consider selling there shows on-demand, but the biggest hurdle is will people pay for something that is initially free, and what happes with commercials. The answer to both of those questions are yes, people will pay to watch tv, just like they pay an extra 4.95 a month for HBO when if you have HBO you already have twelve channels of it and the show that you want to watch anytime, will come on anytime. But people still pay for on-deman, me being one.

Now if an Internet channel is created for just the sole purpose is to show shows that some of the studios passed on than, that we are talking about is the changing of televsion right before our eyes.

I for one am trying my darnest to create this channel unless someone reads this and decide to do it first themselves [You Read It Here First]….

Bloomberg is going to kill Ferrer in the polls on Election day.

Keyshia Cole is the sexiest and down right most talented performer in some time.

Common killed the Big Daddy Kane celebration, along with Black Thought [Solo Album-Premo beats-become legend] T.I. was good to, he really a star now. Eve and Missy was suppose to do the Salt & Pepa thing but Missy could not make it, she should have it would of been great, when is Kid and Play going to get there moment, is anybody going to build a building to place these greats in, or is VH1 just BS'n, Furious 5, Grandmaster Flash, that was brilliant, Fat Joe the respect for you just keeps growing, Salt n Pepa are incredible performers, EnVogue needs to go on tour together and stop playing, Boyz N Da Hood was an incredible movie someone needs to make the East Coast equivalent, 80's Harlem or Brooklyn or BX, Ice T is the GOD-FATHER of Gangsta Rap for real, Snoop looked good with it as well, that show was great, the BIGGIE TRIBUTE was nice, Puff should of performed though and Jadakiss and the Lox should of been out there along with Cam and Dip Set cause B.I.G meant alot to their careers and all of Bad Boy should been on that stage really.

If you have no clue what I am speaking about it is the show VH1 annually do to pay homage to Hip Hop VH1 Honors go to www.vh1.com to download clips and the like...

Hello

I am writing this blog [again the first one disappeared when I pressed the back button].

I recently went to a concert with a unique perspective, the only way to get a ticket was to volunteer for four hours in different community projects [Harlem, BX, BK etc], it was put together by Chris Robinson {the video director} and Boost Mobile {good phone company-it’s a pre-paid third party Nextel carrier}.

The show was very good it started with a DJ set from DJ AM {Nicole Ritchie fiancé}& Trevar Barker from Blink 182 and MTV’s ‘Meet the Barkers’, Paul Wall [#1 album in the country ‘The People’s Champ] {Special Guest Kanye West [New Album ‘Late Registration’ and GLC their song ‘Drive Slow’ appears on both Late and People’s Champ} started things off, than he was joined by Slim Thug to do their hit “Still Tippin” [Where was Mike Jones?] anyways things started real good for a hip hop show [only 45 minutes late].
Faith Evans came and did a short three song set [Album The First Lady], she really can sing, than Trevar Barker from Blink 182 and a street performer from NYC [he drums in Time Square-yeah him] they set the house blazing and was later joined by Fabolous, who went through a string of hits from his three albums [Street Dreams, Ghetto Fabolous and Real Talk] and various remixes, next came a surprise performance from the D Block a.k.a the Lox who performed very well and did songs from each solo project and nothing from the entire groups efforts ‘Money Power Respect & Were R The Streets’, Jadakiss tore it down with ‘Bye Your Side’ off Kiss of Death, than came Fat Joe [All Or Nothing] and the Terror Squad {Remy Ma, Tony Sunshine and an absent Armageddon & Prospect}Remy tore the house down [Album out soon ‘Something About Remy] and than Joe did his thing and they ended with a tribute to the one and only Big Pun.
The show with down I95 to Atlanta and Young Jeezy came out and was incredible not to mention almost half the house had on a Snow Man t-shirt outside on the line when I was coming in. He was incredible with songs from his, Thug Motivation 101, but he really got them going with ‘And than What?’ and ‘Soul Survivor’ I rally had to admit the crowd loved it they all was swaying back and forth to ‘And than What?’ doing the A-Town stomp that kid is a star.
Next and finally came T.I. and P$C click and they had a ball doing songs from T.I.’s Trap Muzik and Urban Legend as well as P$C debut album 25 to Life, they had a great time performing and the crowd had a great listening, T.I.P. closed the show with his two biggest hits, ‘Bring Em Out’ & ‘You Don’t Know Me’.

Overall the show was great and the message that if you give back you can get rewards is something that is needed to be installed in our youth today no matter who is telling them the message. More on that later….

Mic Lowrey “intro” coming soon

Hay there Citizen's

Wow this is a crazy time to be an American. George Bush recently announced that he was responsible for the governmental f' up in the Gulf States. Wow, he actually took blame for someting, I bet the media use this to say that he in tocuh with the average American citizen. Yeah right, in touch would not to go on so many damn vacations, in tocuh would be to actually appointment people to positions where they can actually make a difference or at lest have some experience.

I kow what those this have to do with Hip Hop, everything. It is out of diversity that people are their more creative. So I aspect to hear some good music from Wayne [House Lost, Baby [House Lost], Juvienile [House Lost]. Oh FOX has a house it come on Tuesday's, LL was on the show, he is actually an OK actor. The teeth were horrible though. It is like hay if you go to jail you have to have messed up teeth.

Oh yeah This Love of mine, this week it is writing music inspired by the album Songs About Jane, Maroon 5, that great Blue Eyed Soul, somebody need to make a mixtape,

Blue Eyed Soul Vol 1 {You Heard It Here First}

Lisa Stanfield

The list could go on for a while but you get the idea, now remember DJ's I want a nice mention on the mix cd and DVD component use the Dual Disc and put there Video's on there as well. eMail me if you think you can come up with the correct cover art and song titles and video's and you will win a prize [Me saying thank you].

Back to the music, look for Foot Fetish to be on www.whosnextonline.com look for the Mic Lowrey page.

Hello There people in Blogger land.

There are a lot of Blog sites coming out that help you put your stuff online, like Blubber, I truly think that Blogspot has a little comp there, I may do a second site there with my thoughts and stuff, I will post the link.

Either way this is my last opinion on this particular Blog, I want to add a Vlog to this site and a counter I wonder how I would do that, and than adding music, I want people to see the progress that I am not making doing my album.

Last night I was doing the Linear notes for my album, shot to all the record companies I will be hijacking for music since I attend to pay nothing for my samples or clear them since I will be selling independently and no one listens unless you get a hit, than you worry about royalties, until than Jack for beats my young friends.

Well I decided to have a bunch of things on my Dual Disc, Blue Ray technology CD/DVD hybrid. That is so cool to say, if anything you will be able to play my stuff on your PS3 {Can't Wait-for the XBox 360}

Anyways, ohh maybe I will add a computer game to my CD/DVD Blue Ray Dual Disc Set, damn that is a lot to say for now on I will say New CD and that will be all.

Oh yeah, Fashion, Jay Z is responsible for the upward stylings of the poe folks in the hood {Pharell dress like a damn skate board nerd-because he is a skateboard nerd} So Esquire ya Gay ass list was wrong, and not gay in the homosexual stance but in the B-Boy stance {Free Cassidy}. Hovito was the dude that said,"I don't wear a Jersey, I'm 30 Plus get me a fresh pair of Jeans {N Word} Button Up."

The stores went crazy weeks after ordering every button up shirt they could get there hands on. Galaxy even came out with Button Up's {For the un hood people, they make White T's/the big ones} Every one followed soon after, except Sean John it took them a while before they found out that Jersey's was not going to be happening, except Down South and Overseas, Down South is like over seas, they get things last, but the Internet is changing that.

Either way Jay-Z is the reason for all this Change Clothes syndrome going on in the Urban community not that damn NERD {That album was crazy-so was Snoop's} I love Pharrel though, I am jacking him for my EP (2 Songs). Andre Benjamin is another one that they all of a sudden said oh yeah is stylish, that fool was wearing Bee catcher uniforms and platinum blond wigs that ain't styling, that's Kay-razy.

Yo on a serious note, thanks for the people at customs for giving the people of New Orleans bootleg clothes taken from NY stores, so that they may have something to wear. Shout to the Looters who where stealing shoes and boots instead of water. What in the hell are you going to do with a plasma {But if you selling it on ebay holla at me first}. Either way thank you America for your undying support and thank you to the media for not for once riding W Banger's nut sack and hitting them with hard questions. CNN, ABC News, Katie Couric, Matt Lauer Diane Sawyer, Oprah, what up. Ya'll my heroe's until ya'll mess up again.

Oh yeah I love the the Post www.nypost.com but the article that made me think about Jay with fashion was the one in which they were saying that Rocawear, Sean John and Phat Farm were doing good because they changed their course for clothes, no they are doing good because there clothes are good, simple. They said the urban lines had lost their flare because Snoop, Shady and Vokal were doing bad, that is because their clothes sucked and it was based on people liking Nelly Snoop or Em and wont very good business plans. Vokal ladies Apple Bottoms are doing good, thank you Nelly for the Ads, the best in the business.

Speaking of Ads, did you see the new Gossip mag that has the talking ad when you get to the page that is ingenious and it will be annoying for years to come. Thanks to the Ad agency that did that, imagine The Source with non-stop Benzino songs on every page. Or better yet people that put their album ads in there can put samples of their songs with the ad when you get to the page {You Heard It Here First} I am totally stealing that from MTV.

Well until my next music inspired Post Holla at me, I need a damn GUESTBOOK...

Are You Hip Hop

2005-08-29T17:41:00.000-04:00

Here is a Question?

What is that first of all. Is it that you call woman out of their name or is the fact that you was once in jail. Those that make you hip hop or ignorant. Kanye West is the cover of Time Magazine, do you know how I felt when I saw this dude who makes music for real be on the cover of one the most prestigious magazine's ever. [There timeline of hip hop connections was all messed up] But hay at least they are trying.

What does this say about the Source or Vibe or XXL that it took Time to give this man a cover with a story that is of relevance.

I know we don't want to hear about him not being a thug or anything like that, but 2pac didn't get in trouble with the law until after he was making music. So for the President Carter [Jay Z] to make an ignorant ass statement like, I didn't think a non street cat can make it in the biz. Is just down right dumb, I could of swore he was smarter than that.

Last night MTV awards was crazy. The hip hop portion easily out did anything else. [Snoop was not the best dressed, Kanye was] Gwen with the animal print looked like a house wife from Jersey, that was not styling. Anyways the MTV www.overdrive.mtv.com looks pretty amazing. I wish BET make it possibly to do their awards anyway you want. MTV should release in the archive the past awards and see who comes up with the best all Hip Hop MTV awards and Rock and Pop, it easy and they would not have to do much except air it.

Can that count as a [You Heard It First] it should. Where was Cam'Ron and the Diplomats, they people should of had them on their giving away an award or at least introducing somebody, shew Eric Roberts was on their introducing R. Kelly and how dope was Trapped 3.5 that was hot.

I think I am going to do a rap album like that but only difference I will use my whole crew, hot got a beat for me. eyestylemusic@hotmail.com hit the email up.

Oh yeah if you like the side picture go to http://www.wondertwinz.com/wtnz_ourpeople.htm for the shirt it is like $15 dollars.

Peace in Love Mic Lowrey "intro" look out for my Mash project to and my new hip hop Ridum album, a Ridum is when you use one beat to make a bunch of songs, a la, the Reggae artist. [You Heard It Here First]

I'm Back

2005-08-25T16:10:00.000-04:00

What up!

Well how is the world today, I have been having a long and strange summer this year. Helping America with International affairs and bringing hip hop to the world.

Shots to John John and everybody in Germany, shots to Paul and Antwoine, Piere all five of ya'll and everyone in France. Big up to Sandrine and Ornelia in Morroco. Big up to Francesco, Nancy, Anna and everybody in Italy. Shots to Spain and Bulgaria as well. Hip hop lives internationally and I will bring it to the masses of the world, one song at a time. But truthfuly they love that damn dance music [maybe I will make an album of that as well].

Now as for my American dreams, I am here to say that even though I am a little sick, well truth is my entire lifestyle has to change, I am still going to make this Fall and Winter: LOWREY Season.

Hello and Welcome

I have been in SHAOLIN for the past few days and it has been am incredible learning experience.

The reason I am here is because I am working a job, rappers have bills, especially the one's that has still not done what is needed to be done, [that was for me], you know, anyways, I am working with some students from Italy, France and Spain, I have bonded with the Italians and the French easy actually.

They eat a lot of pizza, they love the stuff, anyways, in the last few days I have been playing the tour guide, trying to learn some Italian and French, I learned a few dirty words, why do we always learn those first. Anyway you may ask what does this domestication has to do with an aspiring MC like Mic Leez, well, the French and Italian terms that I like, really like, has been turned into the "intro" to my album, "intro".

Anyways, today, I am determined to actually work out, I got on the sneakers and everything. My man [cousin actually] has just finish working on his studio and it is up and running, now if only I can get some time to make music. I am in a reality overload right now.

I am creating more music than I know what to do with it, but I have to get to lay it down. I am becoming like the independent music man with all my research and stuff, but it is a good thing cause this dream is bigger than me, it is for all the people who wish they could have accomplished something in there life, but life got in the way, from being Drug Addicts to being in prison, having families early and hopelessness. This is for you.

I live through you guys, this is for my Mother who gave up her promising career with promoting to raise a bunch of kids, she actually had no choice, this is for all my cousins who knew they could spit but ended up on the block and now wont leave. This is for the dude who said, I ain't rappin I'm clappin and doing a gang of time. This is for my projects, D-Block, Nu Houses and Hoboken. This is for my Daughter and God kids, nieces and nephews, cousins and aunt/unlces. This is for the future employees of my dream. This is for you reading.

What I Been Up To

2005-02-09T16:25:00.000-05:00

Okay it has been a few days since my last post so let me explain the long absence. First there will not be another long absence like this because I have installed the phone a blog option; which is going to be great, I am also trying to learn how to put an MP3 on my site and unlimited pics as well.

The MP3 will be of new music that I have recorded and the inspiration for that music. The pics will be based on my inspiration as well.

FRIDAY: I went to an industry type thing at the Time Hotel; owned by that Turban rocking former Model who owns that Hotel and Joe’s Pub and other places around time. The Time place had an incredible décor. Ed Lover from Power 105.1 FM www.power105.com here in NY was the host.

The promoters of the party are good friends of mind, shouts to 2K Entertainment, Key, Kendall and the whole entire crew, shouts to Rich Kid Entertainment, Rich what Up, “Good to Be A Rich Kid” in stores now {Push, Fat Boi, Spit Sincere, Buddah Bride, Young Nova}

I met a Publicist there and all that so she should be hepful.

I lost my phone and have yet to get it back and it has been a very big headache, for real, for real.

Oh Yeah here is a site where I am going to be sending my songs to be used as Ring Tones, so now you can get your favorite Mic Lowrey song as a Ring Tone www.smashthetones.com

Mic Lowrey: The Making of "intro"

2005-02-03T17:52:00.000-05:00

This is the First entry in the blog of Mic Lowrey and the making of his Historic Album "intro"

What Inspired Me [Today]

2005-02-03T16:07:00.000-05:00

The roads that we traverse as we plot the course of our lives go in many directions. Every detour that we take is like facing a major snowstorm—it could stop us for a while, but most of the time, it’s not a permanent delay. We must understand our role in sculpting our lives. The choices that we make determine the surface of the road we travel. As we make hasty decisions without giving a thought to the consequences, we omit valuable material which would make the journey a little less rocky.

You are the architect, contractor and builder of your life. If things aren’t going as planned, it might be time to redraw the blueprint. Or follow the blueprint. Even the most brilliant strategist can’t redeem slipshod execution or faulty workmanship. If you find a misplaced brick in your path, odds are that you placed it there, so stop moaning your fate and move it or mortar it, but do something. Each day presents a new opportunity to get mired in muck or marshal your talents, which you choose adds either a pothole or another layer of asphalt.

It’s nice to have traveling companions; they help us ward off the monotony of the road. But some of the people we have in tow don’t add a thing to the journey except hazards; in that case it’s better to travel solo than to risk ruin. If you’re operating on auto-pilot and have a feeling of déjà vu, you may be traveling a hamster route; circuitous lanes that lead back to where you started. Some folks are just along for the ride; they don’t want to drive, don’t care where you are going and definitely can’t help you get there; carefully extend your arm and press the eject button.

There are very few momentous events in our lives. Most of our actual living occurs between where we are and where we think we want to be. So, while you’re paving your next trail, take the time to relish the process. We can’t avoid detours and storms, but we can savor every possible step along the way despite trials. Don’t be afraid to consult a map if you lose your way. We should be encouraged by the journeys of those who came before us, for they had few resources, yet they still prevailed in their quests. The road is not easy. There are traffic jams in everyone’s life. But remember, each day you choose a road based on your own design. If you want something special to happen, you must select the right road. Peace.

This is a Blog about the struggle and hardship; as well as the inspiration for the creatiopn of my Debut Album: "intro"

I will take you through this very emotional and spiritual journay, from the writings, [actualy notebook clippings] to the inspirations [pic of things or people that have inspired the song], this is an all access ride.

Producation credit and everything goes here; the engineers that I used; the back up singers; the jack moves [industry speak for using other's work]; everything goes here.

Whenever there is inspiration it reaches here.

Oh Yeah I will even speak on my nights out, who I met and other things of the nature while this album is being done.
