I’ve been promising new, free music for a while now in the form of my upcoming mixtape, Cassette Trippin’…but this isn’t that. Unforeseen obstacles have come between me and the mixtape’s eventual release date, but rest assured that you’ll get it in your hands as soon as possible.
Until then, here’s a song that sounds nothing like Cassette Trippin’ at all: “Conservation of Matter,” written, produced, and performed by De La Soul’s least favorite De La Soul song—which is to say, by Me, Myself, and I. If you don’t know what I’m talking about, go see Plugs One through Three in concert sometime. They’ll probably clear it up for you.

Proe is a name you may or may not be familiar with, depending on how long you’ve been listening to the Rec-League’s music. Proe’s last album “Perfect” came out in 2005 and received high marks accross the board. It even earned him an interview on the suicide girls site, as well as a fistfull of praise from many online critics… More recently, Proe contributed his song“Kop Cilla”, to the Rec-League“Season Two” album, released in dec 2009.
After a lengthy hiatus Proe is back making more music than ever. After recording and scrapping an entire album he made with DJ MF Shalem and starting all over, Proe is ready to make a splash once again with multiple projects nearing completion.
His “Whatever You’re On I’ll Take 2″ mixtape is part exercise, part flexing and all fire. Proe’s signature style and supreme confidence come through like it never left on this newest release.
The first song from the project is “Famous” and is a light-hearted and honest take on some musician’s instant success. followed by “Not A Battle Rap” which is just that, Proe going in with no other goal other than murdering the beat. In Proe’s own words
“This mixtape is fun, this is me on my rap shit, honestly it couldn’t be more different than the music I’m making with shalem…”
Proe’s versatility has always been one of his many strong points, and even on his “rap shit” Proe is able to display his humorous take on music, and maintain his outrageous lyrical ability at the same time.

Hey, friends. In a further effort to mimic well-known rapper/youth spokesman Haji P’s every maneuver, I’ve managed to wrangle my own website into my existence. Well, to be honest, Rob Rush the Rec-Technician did most of the dirty work. I just poured some Grip on it.
Be that as it may, GripGrand.com is here (and has been for a while). Hoof on over to my new headquarters and check it out, if you haven’t already. Which, admit it, you haven’t. You’ll find plenty to peruse: Grip Grand T-shirts, vinyl, CDs, downloads, free music, y mas.
GripGrand.com is also the home of my various blog-based word rambles, including the newly relaunched Grip’s Pull List (for you comic book fans); Creative Non-Fiction and Non-Creative Fiction (a column devoted to my non-rap writings); and many more of your future favorites. So roll on through and say “Hey” to your boy. I’ll be the guy in the glasses, the one posting stuff. You can’t miss me.
OK, people. The Grip Grand Army is recruiting. All you gotta do is show up. See you at GripGrand.com!
When I was a kid, I spent a lot of time in detention and being on punishment. Needless to say, the two kinda go hand in hand. Anyway, as with any disenfranchised member of society, my time spent in incarceration led me to discover a penchant for writing. I couldn’t remember how many stories I’ve written total, but some of the more famed titles include: The One Black Hunchback, My Name is Stupid, and Adams Apology to Jesus (a story told from Adams perspective, in letter form, explaining how Eve forced him to eat the apple, and as punishment, Jesus should make women bare children in the most painful way possible). However, no work more successful than a self-help book I wrote in the seventh grade called, The Things We Do: My Guide to Making Your Life Better. It was roughly 20 pages of hand written/hand drawn literary gold. I made copies and sold it for $1 to all my moms friends, all the faculty and staff at my school, my soccer coaches and anybody I thought had a dollar to spend. I was beyond certain that book would make it into book stores the world over. Well…it didn’t. But my freakin’ bummy anus rap album did! Neighborhood Kid, now available at Barnes & Nobles Bookstores!
