OK, for those of you not familiar with Okayplayer.com, it is one of the sites best known for supporting the best stuff coming out of hiphop and the "this is great music most people won't get to here" community. As you can see I am extremely "geeked" about Okayplayer deciding to showcase the "Believe" short film I produced and give a shout to the "Beat Freaks" project and the record label. I've always been a fan of the music they support and to even get a mention on the sites front page is probably similar to the feeling I had when I first learned to ride a bike which for myself was a mixture of woohoo! and oh shit!.I hope this is a great sign of things to come for ThatsThat music.Thank you Okay players! Peep the links!

My concern for our enviorment and how it affects our society has been steadily gaining ground within my morale compass. My decision to buy a bicycle and grow my own produce this past year I know are direct results of what I wouldn't say is a new awareness, but a new found conviction to live a healthier and more sustainable lifestyle. This video of Copenhagen traffic is a great example of a society that is moving towards a more sustainable world. If you caught Obama's historical DNC speech(more on that in another entry), you know one of his platforms is energy reform. The truth is, oil has reached its peek production and prices will continue to rise indefinitely. Part of the solution is changing the way we live our lives and bike riding is a sustainable alternative.

I recently read a great book on how energy relates to our enviorment, politics, over population and society; "Plan B 2.0".


I highly suggest this book for a sobering look at our "real" situation which mainstream media all but ignores the dire straits we are actually in and why I advocate riding a bike as often as possible. I know the reality is that some of us still need a car including myself. But most trips are made within a few miles of our homes which can easily be replaced with a short bike ride. If many of us did this we could considerably dent the amount of CO2 we put in the atmosphere. I believe within the next 10 years, the way we live our lives will and must drastically change.

to all my myspace friends. I just wanted to share more of a project that I’ve been workin hard on for some time.I hope you all watched the "Art of beatmaking video" (if not check my page). Well, here is something a little different.The track is called "bewithme". A special thank you to Hanna Abi-Hanna for lettin me rescore his animated short. a piece I’m sure was very personal and I hope I did it justice. read the description on the youtube page if you’d like to contact hanna and let him know you were feelin his work. Thanks and enjoy

Rain's Theme from Vinroc on Vimeo.



So it rained for a few weeks straight here in the Bay Area.I like how rain can put you in a certain mood especially in a creative sense. I took the opportunity to go out and get some footage . Then I started playing around on my keyboard and came up with this simple melody and started layering the composition with a few simple sounds and just went with whatever caught my ear right away. Anyway, without over thinking it, this is what rain sounds like in my head. Enjoy:)

peep the interview on this episode shortly after one of our first performances together in a few years.

The interview

please check it out! I've picked up editing and film as a hobby and wanted to share this with all of you:)




This is a short film/music video I made in support of an instrumental album I'm working on called "The Revealing". The joint is called "Believe". I made this at a time when I needed to believe in myself and find my inner strength.I'm sure a lot of you have been down that road... So it was a trip when I heard this sample and my frame of mind during that moment: It just lined up. Like it was delivered to me... What came out in the process, and the "feel of the beat"-It was a perfect translation... anyway, sorry for the sob story...I love makin beats .please enjoy:)

If you wanna know why I'm making a big deal about Dr. Paul I suggest you google him or visit youtube.com or my personal youtube page. www.youtube.com/bigbosstv. You will rarely see this man on TV because main stream media does not want you to discover him. I've never been involved with Politics in my life. This man right here is waking people up. listen to what he has to say..PLEASE learn about RON PAUL!
