So I decided to start designing a single cover for each song I release every month.  For the first 2 tracks, AcadeMICS and Life’s Labrynth, I just used the “Equations” album cover (of which all these songs will be a part of after 12 months.)  But I thought, why not have some fun with each track?  I remember back in the day going to Sam Goody’s in the Animas Valley Mall in Farmington, New Mexico and buying a few singles and even a few maxi-singles.  Remember those!  Those were the glory days!  So in the spirit of the glory days of hip hop, I’m designing a single cover for the single I put out each month.  This month’s was a P A I N to make!  I re-created the cover from Beat Street, one of the first movies to really capture early hip hop culture, but replaced the words “Beat Street” with the name of my latest song, “BackSpin.”  Once the song is released in a few weeks on iTunes, I’ll blog more about the track and it’s origins.  For now, enjoy the album cover artwork!

Oh yes! You know what time it is!  Time to rock the spot again at Life Elevated October 27th at The Muse Music Cafe in the big city of Provo, Utah!   That’s right.  I’ll be rockin the mic with the good fellas DJ Shawn Phillips, The Crate Dwellers, Urban Media Lab and of course the illest B-boys this side of the Mississippi!  We have another 16-person invitational b-boy battle and cypher battle this month so don’t front!
