It's been a while since the last Barsh report, and things have thank'fully gone well

The weather's been the same in LA for the last 5 months, not cold as ice or hot as hell

Musically and lifewise I am in a solid place

But you can't stay still for long, lest you get egg upon your face

I sold my apartment in Brooklyn after 10 years in the borough

I was happy and content with it, not at all filled with sorrow

3 months after my 20th bday I arrived with naivete and drive

Got my ass kicked a few times but that just made me harder strive

My 20's went by with alot of goals met, but I've devised a new set, so the hustlin' ain't done yet

Now I'm fully LA based, for that i'm "totally stoked, brooo"

Mixing outdoor fun and sun with an ever-growing workflow

So what has this hat-collecting bowtie wearing chap been doing?

Some good stuff I shall tell you, cuz i'm amped about what's brewing

Over the last 3 months I've been in the studio alot:

I collaborated with Aloe Blacc for his upcoming Interscope release

DJ Khalil produced, I helped write songs and played some keysss

I'm also working with Mark Ballas playing in his newish band

And writing songs for his in-process record, with production by the camp of Timbaland

He was Clearchannel's artist to watch, and recent signee to BMG

Mark's future's looking bright and he's become a friend to me

Captain Planet is a great DJ/Producer and my first roommate in New York

We reconnected in LA and just finished collabing on new work

2 songs are done, with remixes coming down the pipeline

We don't yet have a name, but that should soon appear in our sightline

Collaborated with producer Z Musik on the new album by Aubrey O'day

Co-wrote a track, produced vocals, and keyboards I did play

I've done 2 sessions recording some new Sam Barsh band material

Keys bass and drums, with an organic acoustic touch, funky not etherial

Hadrien Feraud, Gene Coye, Gabe Noel and Kyle Crane are on it so far

I'll be leaking a couple songs soon, like oil from an old car

Palter Ego has been in the planning stages of a promotional campaign

The lid's on tight for now, but soon we'll pop it open like champagne

We're doing a couple shows soon, about that I do not kid, yo

And at the witzend show in september, we'll be recording for live video!

On the production side, Kosha Dillz and Adrian Hibbs have been coming to the spot

Kosha is about to tour with Matisyahu, repping a set that's hot

We've gotten 2 songs done and now I need to make some beats

So he can have an EP to spread to fans on tour and in the streets

That's the straight juice for now, I just downloaded the Simpson's arcade game for my phone so I'm gonna go play it- as Bart says, "Don't have a cow"

Love,

Barsh
