Rising Like A Hot Air Balloon

Flammable as hydrogen filled zepplin and quickly rising like the temperature in Yuma Arizona, Desert Ego is a rock rap group comprised of several completely different individuals and their music is clash of different genres. A lil bit of rock... A lil bit of punk... A lil bit of grunge... and a sh!t load of rap. They base their music around down to Earth topics and real life situations that most people can relate to at sometime. I've attached a clip featuring lead singers Kenjo and Xanax perfoming their track "Can't Hold Me Down" live on Track 74

My Singing Could Break Glass...

And not in a good way either. My singing can make birds drop dead out of the sky, whales ram into glaciers in desperation of making the pain go way, and In a time when "T-Pain'in" on a track with excessive Autotuning is not only completely abused but also ridiculed worse than a creepy @ss Michael Jackson trying to convince a minor in to sleeping in same bed as him, my non singing @ss is working on a track with a hook that needs to be sung, so YO... I need a dope MALE RNB SINGER. Know any down for collaborating. I'm not just talking about your brother's best friends nephew name Pookie who just got of prison on a 10 year bid for stealing his grandmothers laundry money so he could buy a can of paint to huff.

What I mean is I need a good singer... A singer that's as good as Michael Jackson himself when he wasn't wearing a diaper and spreading peanut butter on Bubble's back in Neverland... I'm not talking about just any MJ, but MJ with the wide nose, nappy hair and dark skin... You when He still had soul.

"I want to rock with you.... All night, Dance you into the sunlight"

"Cause this is thriller, thriller night. And no one's gonna save you from the beast about strike"

The track I'm working on is called, "Moments Like This." I don't want to reveal too much about the track but it's based on the moment you realize you're falling in love. I personally think this song has a lot of potential especially if the hook is done right. Right now I have a rough version of the song with me singing. I'd share it but I don't want to be sued for people's sudden hearing loss.

Once again.... Do you know of any talented male RNB singers thats whiling to colab on a great track?

Insanity Is Contagious

Think about it as Mob mentality. You get one idiot throwing rocks and if you don't stop him quick enough it'll eventually become a riot. Its amazing how the dumbest ideas can catch on so quickly but stuff like work ethics, responsibility and so on falls short every time. I'm not hear to preach to you about how to live your life. I'm hear to start a riot and create chaos. LOL

Its so much more fun to be bad than to be good. People cling on to controversy.... They love violence... Drama and contradiction. Hate just spreads so rapidly. How often do you see a grown man give another props for an accomplishment? I guess it happens, BUT what happens more is that a man will slander something great just because.... and that my friends drives me crazy!

So I'm forced to create sh!t that fuels their hatred even more because I can... LOL

$$$

Believe or not... I was once just a developing artist working on his first major project called "NOTEPAD." I called the project NOTEPAD because it was my attempt of documenting my struggles on a cd like an amateur journalist would scribble in his notebook. At the moment in my life I was young, hungry, struggling and going thru life's heartaches. One of my favorite tracks on the album is "$$$." It was so humble and 100, so I'm taking the time to go back and do what I should of done years ago, and I'm working on an official music video for it. Below is quick draft.

Getting Deep

I haven't been a saint but my life's been exquisite.

Beggin when I drop thru Heaven, I stay; not just visit

I hope God enjoys a laugh; my lifes been comedy

Trying to avoid asodomy in my attempts of Alchemy

cuz sometimes I find myself spitting a lil blasphemy

when my paranoia kicks in; is someone is after me!!!

thats when I freak out and release my concealed deviance

spiraling down hill, ruining all my previous achievements.

Name slander in my town and my face on da media

No one wants to be around, devil starting to feed da

Seed that has been planted since the day of my birth

No lie, I'm tired of carrying around the burden of its girth

ya'll Ostracizing, but I guarantee I'm not alone

He who hasn't sin, throw the first stone...

Freestyle verse

Room spinning and my heart starts to spill;

As long as I'm breathing I'll always have will!

Struggle is my foundation of my pain

Up rise is the foundation of my campaign

To succeed, so I proceed

to beat this beat until this song bleeds

and if it dont bust, I'm a break it even if it kills me

I'm hopin all ya'll out there followin are feeling me

But it doesn't matter, cuz I'm constantly reminded

that I can't satisfy everyone, if they stay blinded

I gotta do me cuz I can't fix their blurred vision

shear cuts only with my interpretation of precision.

If you don't find it hot... I promise I still wont stop

cuz I'm worse than a clumsy kid; I will drop!!!

This right here is the start of a grand hustle

and I wont stop until I complete all the piece of the puzzle.

TP's musical aspirations through style and sound

Since he was 12 years old, Tyrone Perry, aka TP The Problem has had a strong interest in music. Whether he's writing a hip-hop track, recording an R&B song or performing a club banger, TP considers himself a dedicated artist. "My music is real music," he said. "[It's] something you can listen and relate to. It's strictly me."

Who knew playing a video game would lead to something better for TP? According to him, this was the start of his musical desire. He and close friend Dajuan Mack began recording beats on a Playstation 2 video game. "We downloaded instrumentals and began rapping to the beats while we recorded ourselves with a tape recorder." Though this was the beginning, he faced challenges that helped him find ways to overcome hardships.

January 2009, his cousin passed away. "Music became an extreme importance after my cousin pasted away," he said. "Before he passed, he told me that I could do anything I set my mind to. He always believed in me and pushed me to do any and everything I wanted to." Though challenging, TP moved on and went back to music. That was when he recorded his track "Freak You." The song fueled his desire to keep pushing his musical boundaries.

Summer 2009 he met with Money in the Bag Entertainment C.E.O., D$. "We put out our first singles [together] called ‘Turnt Up' and ‘Hang Over,'" he said.

Besides remaining busy with Money in the Bag Ent., he's also involved with his own upcoming mixtape "Hitman." TP said he's excited for this and his Money in the Bag Ent., mixtape "Break Bread or Play Dead" to be released because they represent his music style.

As much as he loves making his own music, he listens to other artists to gain inspiration. Artists like Nas, Too Short, Eminem and Tupac left him determined to create his own music – thoughts and meanings he was feeling. He said these rappers are what he considers "stand out" rappers. TP said he falls under his own category of style and sound as well. "In my music you won't get anything different than ‘TP,'" he said.

Though young in the music business, his peers recognized his determination. TP appeared on the recent BrandKnew Radio mixtape by DJ Kenjo LaChapelle, titled "On Air." "How I became part of the mixtape was that I'd previously spoken to Kenjo about a collaboration," he said. "He hit me with the idea of the mixtape and we made it happen." Besides helping with LaChapelle's group mixtape, TP said he enjoys BrandKnew Radio's family of artists. According to him, the online radio station has helped TP out immensely. "It's a real radio station, and by ‘real' I mean an uncut, in-your-face radio station. Over all, I think BrandKnew radio is one of the best radio station's out there."

For TP, music is a continuous process. He considers it a craft and said he only wants to grow throughout his years. "I'm serious about what I do," he said. "I want this and I want the people to enjoy it."

Lyrics are posted below

(Intro)
Every Day is a blessing and I’m counting my blessing
Cus I’m doing so well, and everything is blowing up for me.
and ya’ll want me to be real, I’ll just have to be
Who I am… You know what I’m saying!

the person I see in the mirror

(Hook)
When it comes to being true, at least true to me
One thing I found,one thing I found
Oh no you'll neva let me down,
Get up I get(down)
Get up I get(down)
Get up I get(down)
Get up I get(down)
Get up I get(down)
Get up I get(down)

“You want me to be real!? Well I’ll be real… YEAH”

(Verse1)
I step up and out on stage, and put in my heart and soul;
what I do for ya’ll, its call the fucking Kenjo show.
I’m up in this booth, spinning trax losing sleep,
becoming a insomniac, My passion for my show runs deep
The consequences of my passion is worth every sacrifices
If I die tomorrow, DAMN, I can say that I’ve lived my Life
to the fullest and I, pursued everyone of my dreams
SHIT, Not everything, is exactly what it seems.
Open up ya eyes and see, every blessing you receive
just because you didn’t succeed, doesn’t mean you didn’t achieve.
Think about it, the breath you take, someday can always be taken away
It’s a blessing just to see, the morning of another day.
I try not to complain no more, and cherish every opportunity
and help next man, DAMN, this shit is new to me
aint gonna lie, we better if we al stand in unity
It aint about the KENJO SHOW, its about the hip hop Communtiy

(Hook)

(Verse 2)
Getting all these listena Yo , wanna ta drop thru my show
Growing stronger in number, Man, We never gonna Plateau
Feeling all the weight on my shoulders, DAMN I can’t let them down
Hold them up so fucking high, They never have to touch da ground
Feeling all this pressure, yo to keep my show original
Heating up some hot fire, burning in some Kitchen oil
Hunting the Hottest trax that the industry never heard
Never catch this trax on MTV, Yeah that’s my word.
One thing I’ve found,
One thing I’ve found
I’ll Never let you down…
I’ll never let you down baby
It’s sad when a nigga like me can a track hotter than
the hottest rappers in the game, at least that’s what they sayin
Tighten up my flow and then, Change the content of my lyrix
Keep the Hook, and throw out the rest another fly KenjoMix
One thing I’ve found,
One thing I’ve found
I’ll Never let you down…
I’ll never let you down baby

(Hook)

(Verse 3)
It’s the fun times, that we share together
You know I’m coming thru, no matter whats the weather
they way we share this bond, We not jus on
On the Radio with ya boi Kenjo

So come thru and tell ya love ones to listen some mo
6 to 9
Pacific time

(Outro)
Yeah…… You know what I mean! Like,
I just want to say thank you for coming thru and listening to my show…
Cuz I wouldn’t be shit! with out ya’ll, Ya know!!!
I mean I really appreciate this shit… But! Don’t get me wrong
I’m living high… But to get here the road was long .
You know what I mean!? I, I, I don’t just do this shit for me
I do this for all ya’ll. Man, Ya’ll send me tracks…
And I’ll spin them, so every body can feel them,
You know what I’m saying? Its not just about KENJO

(Hook)

(While hook is playing)
You man! Know what I’m saying? I’m enjoying this!
Everyday man… I enjoy this
Ay yo! HA.. HA… HA
