Hello all,

I think it would be a good look to let everyone know what projects I got coming up, in and out of music.  Since this is teh music site, lets start that one off first!

I'm currently in the studio with Ghostface and Raekwon (of Wu-Tang), Outerspace, Sick Jacken, Reef The Lost Cauze, Doey Rock (Sac town representarrr), King Syze, Bradd Marquis (of J Records), Ra Scion of Common Market, The Physics, and a whole bunch of other talented people!

My friends Common Market released an amazing new record called Tobacco Road this month.  I've had the pleasure of watching it start from a collection of songs to where it is now - a beautifully woven theme of labor, religion, class and suicide.  Yeah I know, serious sam type stuff, but I'm real proud of my guys for real.  The reaction thus far been amazing. 

As far as Outerspace is concerned, I produced 4 songs on their upcoming LP, "Gods Fury" which drops Sept.30th on Babygrande/Koch.  You can go into any Best Buy and buy it!

I got my ascap card!  I think I will be able to vote on the grammys soon, so that is very tubular.

Team Robot House, the adventure philanthropy charity I'm co-founder of, is in the final stages of editing our footage from our rickshaw race from Kathmandu, Nepal to Pondicherry, India.  A lot of folks aren't aware that while we were over there we were shooting a TV pilot with backing from a few emmy award winning production companies.  This was the most physically taxing experience of my life, but the most rewarding as well.  The footage is filled to the brim with danger, excitement, and color commentary from yours truly that will keep the guy on the bleep button busy when the shizz hits the fan!

Beyond that, things are going as well as they can be, RIP to Ted, Tyler, Dottie, and anyone else that's been lost in a taxing year.  Take the good with the bad, and keep on trucking maiiiiiiing!

Mr. Crabtree, signing out.  Check out my article coming up in Seattle Sound Magazine, or listen to some awesome old songs and stuff I post on my blog, Raindrophustla.  We got the cream of the crop on there - hip hop writers from the seattle weekly, seattle times, the stranger, and the PI, and folks such as myself who got teh filthy insight.  An everettonian such as myself writing for the 1 Seattle hip hop blog is the best look for our city since Patrick Duffy was on Step by Step, or since Riblitz was on the cover of the Weekly!

signing out for real for real this time.
