ARHYTHMATIK

In case you missed the Facebook and Twitter updates, my latest song “Tebow Time” will be featured on the NFL Network this Friday night (January 13th) at 8pm EST during the program “Tim Tebow: Season In Review”! Pretty cool.  The video for the song now has over 112,000 views on YouTube. It truly is amazing what Tim Tebow has done this season.  His impact goes far beyond the football field.  I’ll have another post about my take on the entire season and its meaning, once the season is over… but as of now, the Broncos season isn’t over yet!!! GOOOOOO BRONCOS!!!! In case you haven’t seen the “Tebow Time” video, here it is again for ya:

Well this is it folks! I’ve been having fun these past 2 weeks making this song about the Tim Tebow saga. If you follow football at all, then you know all the drama that has surrounded Denver Broncos quarterback, Tim Tebow. I grew up in Colorado and have been a die hard Broncos fan since I was 5. So it was only natural that I had to put together my two loves– Broncos football and hip hop– into this song. I love Tim Tebow for the courage, discipline, leadership, and positive attitude he always displays, even when people say the most hateful things about him on a national level. His faith in God is inspiring and I love seeing him defy all the critics. The act of “Tebowing” is what we all need to do a little more of in our lives. This is my little tribute to Timmy so post it up and spread the word! Go Broncos!

You can purchase the song on iTunes, Amazon, or get it for only .79 cents below!

This track talks about how music, and especially the genre of hip hop, has become such a cesspool of filth through degenerative behavior and language that it becomes barely tolerant. Especially because the filth and negativity is so widely consumed by children and young people. It has a detrimental effect on our society, and the societies of other countries as well, for generations. Somebody has to take a stand and go against the current, and try to re-direct the ship from going over the waterfall. That somebody has to be me and you. Listen and download below. Please share.

The concept behind this track is that liberal ideologies were born out of the idea that oppression is institutionalized into our American society. Well, since these ideologies have become so widespread, the reverse has actually happened. Liberalism is now embedded into every facet of American society that every institution bares the framework of a liberal ideology. Even to the point that radicals who were determined to overthrow America’s constitutional framework 40 years ago now hold key positions in the US government. How did this happen? The media. So in the 2nd verse, you will hear my take on the media and its role in shaping our society, even down to the effects it has within the walls of our own homes.

So I took a sample from a book on radicalism and applied it to radicalism. Now conservatives have taken the role of being the underdog and the oppressed. But the difference is that history and human nature side with conservatives. Socialism and communism have failed every time, and will continue to fail. They are at direct odds with human nature. Hence the title “Subversion.”

Oh yeah- and the best part is… THIS IS A FREE DOWNLOAD!!!!

IF you can guess the sample used at the end of my track “AcadeMICS”!  DJ 501 cut up a sample from one of my favorite movies at the end of my song “AcadeMICS.”  If you can guess what movie the sample is from, I’ll give you a free copy of my entire album “Equations”!  Comment on this post or email me at arhythmatik@mlahiphop.com with your guesses! If you can’t figure out what it is, you can still download my track “AcadeMICS” free below

Well, kinda.  All my music is now only .50 cents per track!  That’s right. Every song you purchase right here on the “Music” page of www.arhythmatik.com (or arhythmatik.bandcamp.com) is only .50!  I wanted it to be easy to access good, fresh, positive hip hop, so this I hope this helps.

The time has come! My latest track “Balances” produced by Life Rexall of $martyrs and The Shapeshifters is finally here! Life Rexall is one of my favorite artists. He is one of the few artists who produces and rhymes, like me. I have had this beat from Life Rexall for a while, but it took some time to craft the hook for the song. Lyrically, this track is one of my more descriptive songs about my religious and moral beliefs, but it’s also one of my more aggressive tracks. The beat set the vibe so it ended up being a dope blend of lyrical wisdom without the corniness. When I wrote for it, I actually intended to take the song in an entirely different direction, but the lyrics all kinda just seemed to fall into place and fit naturally. Take a listen and let me know what ya think! Be sure to share this with your friends and spread the word! SUPPORT POSITIVE HIP HOP!

Be sure and check out the latest LDS Music Today podcast!  My song “BackSpin”, which I released last month is featured on the podcast.  You can download the podcast in iTunes here or from LDSMusicToday.com.

Well, it’s FINALLY here! My latest single “BackSpin” is out now! It took a bit longer than usual to get this one out for some reason. The track features one of my good friends DJ Raydn1. I actually produced the beat almost 5 years ago when we were visiting some friends in Texas. I had some free time and was looking for a completely different sound, but this one kinda produced itself and came out a banger. I wanted to bring back the nostalgia of the original days when hip hop was just starting to catch on. I remember back in elementary school breakdancing on a piece of cardboard during recess while blasting the boombox. We even had a school-sponsored breakdance contest at Downey Elementary in Cortez, Colorado haha. It was those days I wanted to help people remember with the lyrics, all while throwing in some underground hip hop metaphorical stuff. I recorded the lyrics in my office at Arizona State University a few late nights I was working haha. Hope my old boss doesn’t see that one! lol Once DJ Raydn1 put the cuts on, it gave it that classic boom-bap original hip hop sound it needed. Hope you like it and be sure to share this with your friends on the web!

YES! It’s that time again! I have a brand new track ready for you. This one is called “LIFE’S LABRYNTH”. This one is somewhat personal for me. I came up with the beat one Sunday when I was sitting in church. I literally heard this song in my head, and after church, went straight home and created most of the beat for this song. Usually, I don’t make music on Sunday, but I felt inspired with this one.The lyrics are even more personal for me. As you may or may not know, I have been going through a divorce.  It has been a truly tragic and heart-wrenching experience. But it has been such an experience for me for almost a decade now. The lyrics were actually written about 6 years ago. They describe the challenge we all face of sticking with something you feel like you’re supposed to do out of duty, or jumping ship while you still can. This was my ongoing struggle for years in a very difficult marriage. It is the struggle many face with today’s economy as well. Do I keep paying my house payment on a house that’s losing value? Or do I jump ship now while I still can? Do I leave my retirement money in the stock market that is unpredictable and losing money on a consistent basis, or do I jump ship while I can? It is a question we all face at some point in our lives regarding very important issues. Marriage. Family. Money. Employment. Love. Friends. Business. Life. It’s a labrynth that we’re all trying to find our way through. Hope you enjoy Life’s Labrynth.As always, you can download the track here on my website, or on iTunes, Amazon, etc.
