In preparation for the release of my latest project I've been working on, entitled "Arkatype," I'm releasing the lead single, Galactic Love ft. Syreeta Write, on bandcamp. 

This song has been in the player rotation for a while and has gotten lots of great feedback, and I feel like it is a good foot forward so to speak for the album I'm fixing to release, which is currently in its final stages of mixing. The single release also includes the track "New Day," a real blazer of a tune to say the least. The full songs as well as the instrumentals are available at bandcamp for a minimum cost of 50 cents each (you're free to pay more if you're inclined), and are available in multiple audio formats. So please support, and most of all enjoy this beast of a love song. I'm sure it will wet your appetite for the rest of the album as well. Give thanks and stay tuned! 

peeeeeeeep 

a friend of mine has a dope music site/blog, 

decided to put me up there... 

so the votes are in, and i'm going with CAV3

it was tough to decide, and 

even though some of my closest and most respected partners suggested other possibilities,

i think this is the simplest and most streamline way to make the moniker unique

plus the number three is major

so thanks to everybody who helped me figure this one out

and stay tuned for more cosmic beat salads from your boy

peace & love 

so there's an issue i'm trying to deal with... the artist name that i've been using for a while seems to be a name that other bands and artists have also used. so when you search cave on myspace, itunes, last.fm, google, etc... lots of other shit comes up that's not me! big deal right? the whole moniker thing feels silly at times... but biz is biz, gotta have a unique identity if i'm going to take shit to the next level... 

so i was hoping some of ya'll might have some input, at the moment i've been thinkin bout a few options... 

cav3 

young cave 

cave-san 

cave84 

caev

kave

(pretty much grabbing at straws here...)

any suggestions? 

it's not the cheesy title beat, it's the one that comes on and off throughout the segment, with the "Watermelon man" sample... check it!



this next one is a commercial for a JB party somewhere in mexico, big up sicario! 

incidentally, i named this beat "watermelon and peanut butter," which is actually a really good combo. anyway its funny that both of these beats involve watermelon. i love watermelon! 

i was checkin this website redicecreations.com last night and stumbled across this post which contains a few videos which really opened (re-opened rather) my eyes to some of the foul play going on behind the scenes of the music industry. a good reminder that we must always put integrity first, and never sacrifice being true to ourselves and true to God for material gain. this is what is meant by the phrase "selling your soul." as artists nowadays it's easy to be duped by all the hype in the media into developing this voracious appetite for fame and fortune, as if you'll never be satisfied until you get up there with the big guys. well this documentary series shows you that alot of the big guys have paid a high price and crossed a hard line to get that far up in the game...an eye opener to say the least...

peace & love
