Who Gives Kudos:


Wednesday, December 24, 2008 

I consider 2008 the biggest year I've had during my 3 year run in this game.  I dropped 3 albums, signed and left a label, played mad shows, learned a lot about bad busines( abica :cough cough:)collborated with a log of artists,  and gained a lot of new fans.

In early 2008 I released the 12 track free lp Forever Eternal online. It was great working with artists such as menacide, DZK, 11 rel and insane poetry on this album. Not to mention the awesome production done by badmind , 11rel, j reno&stir crazy. The album was completed in 07 but was put up for free in early 08. It was around this time bob e nite apporached me to sign with 3se. I was honored. We put Forever Eternal pressed out on 3se, and has sold pretty decently.

This year i got to do shows with national artists such as : Twiztid, esham, Primer 55,  Prozak & more. I also organized mainly successful shows such as Underground United with SKR and Toxic Terror with Mission Infect.

Around july I started working on the monster fiend ep . A little side ep to put out before my next big release "the untold story" come outs in late summer 09. The cd will be the last undergrounded sounding album one here's from me. My new stuff is in a more hardcore commerical direction. One can here what it sounds like when ugh8 drops.  I got to colloborate with artists like lokey and king gordy on this project, and it was a true pleasure.

Currently about 2 weeks ago I left Third Shift Entertainment.  It was a business move that I had to do in order to better myself. I came into the label and was helping to run it was kiltcha after mr nite left. I got in to deep with the business side and felt i couldnt do it any longer. I tried to help alot with the label by pressing up over 2 g in merchandise (charms, shirts cds, web layouts) and etc. I feel i was committing to help to many people out and i just couldnt do it, so i left because i didn't want to let anyone down. I got to much going on in my personal life with my family, school and music to commit to a label. I wouldn't of been a good team player. I still got love for absolutly everyone over their : kiltcha, hexx, chamber, raven, icepick, juz-10 and the supporters and fan.

As of now I'm about 10 tracks deep into my new cd. And let me say, its absoututly mind blowing. It sounds like a completly different ignited then what most are used to. My game has stepped up, the production has stepped up, and the guest artists on here are devestating. Their's a single with MARZ called South of Heaven that I will premiere soon that will blow wigs. It was recorded at tony capones studio in the chi, and he knows what i'm talking about. I also got a radio single  called "What would you Do" Ft Krizz Kaliko on the hook and Prozak on 16. The Song was produced by Gee Pierce, and is definitly a monster of a track.  I will have a sampler up in the next few months to give everyone here a taste of what's next to come from me.

I want to thank everyone in the wicked underground for giving me a home, and driving me to do what i do. I know I wont let yall down in 09.

Best,
Ignited
