About Me

About me, I'm a fuckin dork. I'm about making HISTORY and with the projects I have in the oven now, it's only a matter of how long do I take to prepare or cook these recepies before unleashing this great tasting, appetite quenching, (in other words, a hell of a dish) on the masses.I own a company called Skylatics. I came to choose this name, well, I can't lie, it was given to me by a friend back in the day for a album name. Since then I kept it and I knew the name was so fresh that it would one day be used in my arsenal. (who knew it would be the complete backdrop to my story). At any rate, it's a combination of the words Scholars and Politics.See the way I see it is, we're all Scholars in our own right, whether it be we trying to conquer the art of hustling, be a bettter parent/companion, master the art of WHATEVER, naturally, you want to excel and learn more. Ultimately pitting yourself amongst the class which considers themselves masters of their field. At the same time the Political aspect comes into play everyday you wake. Hell, even when you're sleep, it all plays a political role in development. From how you speak, to what you wear, from the type of music you enjoy listening to, to the type of job you have. Politics play a role in our everyday lives, hence the name Skylatics.I created this company strictly for Independent Artist(s). I'm a indie artist and where I live, these smart/dumb fucks aren't giving artist(s) like us a chance in hell to be seen or heard. Technology today has made for aspiring artist(s) with REAL TALENT to be put on the mainstage for the world to critique. Web-sites, DVD's, Mix-tapes, Camcorders, etc.. are accessible tools these days that ten years ago would have been a long shot to come into contact with. Now with this type of knowledge being put at our fingertips for us to tweak and master it is becoming more common for the next NUCCA to be right around the corner then on the other side of the U.S.Under the Flagship company, Skylatics, I've created 3 credible projects for aspiring artist(s) to contribute to. 1. Skylatics, the video show: This is the visual portion of the movement. This is the interactive video show showcasing indie artist(s) from the SouthEast. One day I just got tired of seeing the same mo-fo's on the tube so I said, "fuck, I can do this, and with much fresher artist(s), that nobody has heard of, " so there went the launch of that.(the first volume is on sale at: www.iap-tv.com : go to store then dvd's: Pick it up and tell me whatcha think. Oh, keep check for the trailor for part 2: COMING SOON2. R.E.A.D.Y. RAP RADIO: See around here, the radio shows love to indie artist(s) like I show love to bill collectors, cops, and rednecks. (Better example: Picture a STRANGER, with a HIV needle pressuring you to "try some of this.") Harsh but true, so hell, I made up a radio staion that focuses strictly on indie artist(s) R.E.A.D.Y. stands for: Revolutionary, Educated, Able to Dominate and YNOT I'm currently releasing a slew of mixcd's hosted by yours truely giving you the HOTTEST, the LATEST and GREATEST in KILLA INDEPENDENT HEAT.3. This is the newbie, and this is what I'm looking to catapult this godforsaken state to unseen heights. I'm the editor of a urban newspaper titled, "Da 'LIL Folk", (late 2nd quarter release). It's the Generation Now Newspaper Geared Toward the Independent Artist(s) We're covering everything from Worldly/Current Events to High School Athletes, from Fashion to Indie Rock, from Health/Fitness to Alternative Living, if the forget to mention it in the regular newspaper, we probably cover it. Another major media market for a aspiring journalist, photographer, artist(s) to be seen/heard. So if you're reading my profile and you think you can help out, hit me up and letmeknowhatchathinkin, maybe we can work something out. I've got alot of positions to fill, everything from: Asst Editor to Electronic Journalist, from a Calendar Organizer to Fashion journalist, we can talk about your strengths/weaknesses and how you can be a part of this MOVEMENT if you READY, if not, ahh, maybe you can help me with the consumption of a left-hand cigarette or two.I was going to say that I was babbling to much, but hell, this particular section is devoted to ME so that's what the [email protected] I'm talking 'boutAt any rate, in the world of Skylatics, there is a whole hell of alot going on, if you can relate GREAT if not I would probably consider you a super, stupid, dumb f..ck that's waiting on the Messiah to return and in the process, you hope to take the crown of world's laziest at either rate, people like you I can't relate to, we have nothing in common and a word of advice, LEARN TO LOVE YOURSELF: That hata -ish is great and all but where does it get you? Better yet, where has it gotten you?Now I know I'm babbling, look, I'll be changing this from time to time but at this point I would like to inform everyone that I f..$k with (REALLY), the REVOLUTION has begun, this time that I've been associated witcha was a test to see if your really up to the challenge to being amongst the elite. I've got a wee-bit more gardening, hedge cutting to do to make sure my yard is manicured to where I can see any weeds (no puns intended, I promise) or snakes trying to disrupt the growth of my plants. Just know, I'm working and when we meet up, you should have a plate full of food to share witcchaman.IT'S BIGGER THAN HIP HOP

Television:

REALITY TV OR NOTSO REALITY TV IS THE SHIT: How could you not be excited about Reality TV. If you have a dream, a script, a idea what bigger reason could you have by not persuing it now. I mean the market is wide open for dreamers to become mega-stars. Whenever I see a new reality television show coming on it leaves hope like, "well, they haven't gotten tired of it yet, so that means there's still hope for me", or what about the stupid, I mean retarded Reality shows. I ABSOLUTELY FU..KING LOVE THEM. That simply makes me strive a bit harder for the REALITY of my dream.Other than that, I don't get to watch that much television. I was about to say DOWNTIME but, shit I trying to get in the game baby so that's rare. UNLESS, IT'S LEFT-HAND CIGARETTE TIME, which, I told you, we can definitely build around one of those.in the alustrious (spelled wrong, maybe, but you know what I'm getting at) words of Bone Thugs"keep hittin me reefa sendin me straight to heaven..." Krazie Bone"...East 1999 Eternal

Books:

Watch for the New Autobiography written by S. GreerA.T.W.: All The Way (Memoirs from a GCDC Diary)It's the tale of a young aspiring independent artist that's having trouble getting recognized in his small town. So he eventually makes another way. Along the way he gets locked up and on his vacation he remembers/documents stories about his family and friends plus describes different situations he's experiencing while incarcerated. A.T.W. All The Way, the 3 words you want to hear when they call your name in Greenville County Detention Center. The phrase means you're being released. What happens after he's released? Does he maintain the straight and narrow or does he go another route?
