LA CD Release, Communicational mishaps

First off, my apolls for those to whom i may have seemed aloof
My blackberry started erasing txts and emails, and that is the troof
One second they would be there, then my phone would vibrate and poof!
Whatever new messages i had jumped out like a cat on a hot tin roof.

So for a couple weeks there were some messages i did not get-
If i did not return your correspondence, that i do regret.
It's my own fault, cuz treated that phone like Barb Bush treated baby George, dropping it too many times
But i got a new / used one from my good friend Erin, so i'm back in biz; now its time for more positive rhymes!

Currently i am not sleeping at all in the wake of my trip to LA
Not that i'm over-excited or drugged, the nite has just turned out that way.
I just played a show with the mighty blue kings at the hilton in downtown chicago
And now I am typing this blog while enjoying my Mom's crib's phaat view of the Lago

Goin manana out to LA, which is required to spell the word "law"
And because I got my ticket on mileage i have to transfer in Northwest Arkansas
Its aight tho cuz ill be psyched to touch down in the homestate of the Razorback
Besides i heard that their airport has a tequila bar, stripclubs and laser tag

So while in LA, I'll be doing my premier gig as a bandleader
At a nice spot called Land, its a club not a theater
Its my west Coast CD Celebraish, and a crazy double bill
With an artist named the Lady Tigra. Come check it if you will! (deets below)

I'll also be finishing editing and production
on a project called "The Years" which when its done will undergo induction
into the music hall of FLame, cuz that shit will be fiya!
OK time for bed, cuz from lack of sleep I do tire
(plus i just drank a Sam Adams Summer Ale which long ago did expire)

Hey Everybody, Im back from the Izz
It was real as can be, now I'm back to the biz!
Birthright Israel was great, but didn't turn me into a relig Jew
Though It gave me mad pride to be reppin the White and Blue


First off, tonite, check out BET's 106 & Park
and vote for a new MC about to really make his mark
A-Lex hails from Brownsville and he packs lyrical heat
He's in the finals of Freestyle Friday, rockin to a Watts and Barsh beat!
He's gotten this far with two of our jams already
And we just cooked him up some new fire that will have him rocking steady.
Show is at 6pm eastern time, and you can vote till 7, if you check it that'd be real
Cuz the winner gets mad prizes including a killer record deal!

Aside from that, my West Coast CD release show happens in 3 weeks
Mark yo calendars: june 26 at Land/2nd St. Jazz in downtown LA, for all you westside music geeks (and fly honeys of course, deets at the end of the post)

Other exciting things are happening, its true
Hott songs I'm co-writing and producing a slew
With great vocalist Ilana Martin for her recording debut
Also working hard on the upcoming collection
Called "The Years Vol.1" with some west coast connections.

"The Years" is a brainchild of Gabriel Noel
Me, Gabe, Gene Coye and some great others as well
Recorded tons of tracks in LA that are funky as hell!
Now we are sifting through, selecting the best few,
And when the time is right I'll leak a sneak peak out to all of you.

OK I'm off to do some errands
If I were my mom right now, I'd say "Thanks for sharing!"

Love
Barsh
