Now available through most digital stores and streaming services, this two song EP is ready for you to rock.
Kty swft tylr prry (trust me) is a light yet driving piece detailing the response of drama between two supposed friends.
Long Playa is a funky tune and tale about being out on the town looking for amorous company.
As you might heard, I have a new release. Finally, right?!
Originally conceived summer of 2017, I pulled these two 16 bar ideas out and added a bit of magic.
I hope you enjoy them.
As we get near to closing out 2018, I want to thank all who I have met along this stage of my journey. This grind has been a hell of ride. However, we are not quite done yet. At least I’m not.
I plan to keep grinding into 2019 and beyond.

So this keeps happening. The phrases are all too common.
Most illegal immigrants bring with them crime–(false). If you are black you automatically know how to dance–(false). A House Music party must mean ‘raves’ and recreational drugs–(false). Because I am a DJ and music producer, I must party all the time–(false). Yet, these and many others like them keep being repeated.
Please stop yourself when you hear yourself begin to utter them. Yes, they are somebody’s truth. Yet, this does not make them everybody’s truth.
Stereotype is available at these and other fine digital outlets.

Some time ago I wrote prose about this subject. Unfortunately, we all have a collection of implicit biases.
The question is how often to we allow our bias to be challenged?
From the other side of the proverbial coin, I often feel frustrated when I come up against bias. It’s everywhere.
The disbelief in another persons eyes, even when faced with something to the opposite; especially when faced with proof and fact the bias is not true, not as broad, or, my favorite, the truth is a lot more nuanced.
It cuts to the white meat, when I see this internal battle manifest itself in another’s face.

Personally, I have been trying to face my bias any time it rears its ugly little head. It’s a devil that appears on my shoulders at inappropriate times.
I’m sure it does for others too. After all, it is a human condition. Or should I say, it’s a disease.
However, I will continue this exercise hoping that like a weight lifter, the repetitive action of challenging my bias will strengthen my soul, and make me slower and slower to judge while broadening my knowledge if not compassion as well; as it seems to have been working through most of my life.
After all, I don’t fit your damn stereotype…
Stereotype will be an exclusive release to Traxsource on May 30 (pre-order is available now); released to all other digital stores on June 27.
Do you wear hats? If so, do you like this, the first of it’s kind?
Soon they will be available in the mGrooves Music shop.

My latest EP on mGrooves Music debuted on Traxsource Monday December 19th.
This 3 track EP represents a milestone. I have been running this label for 4 tough years. And now here at the beginning of 2017 it seems like momentum is back after several debilitating set backs.
This time I would like to maintain this drive, this strength…
