The King of the Highway

I still sometimes find myself losing focus from time to time. I can pin point the time frame where my thought process shifted. I try to move forward from that point half full but find myself a little drained here and there. The music will always be in me. I need to remind myself to enjoy the ride more and appreciate the seconds currently ticking. The process will always be a learning experience and the progression and growth should remain fun and enjoyable. Life is too intense to not enjoy the precious time we have to do what we want with who we want. Be Thankful and enjoy what you can. It's all a state of mind. It's up to you, it's all because of you.

Its called The Real Thing

Beat by @YGHypnos

Sample 'Real Thing' by The Point

Lyrics by @JadeKoth

Edited by @RyanKeithFilms and DBK Home Video

Video Shot by @RyanKeithFilms

Audio Recorded at Lakehurst Studios, Inverness, FL

It was an improve collaborative effort between DBK HOME VIDEO and RYANKEITHFILMS. You may or may not have heard this cut before, but to put a visual to this song is something special. The song was written about an album called Fingernoid Slink by a band called The Point that was released in 1993. The samples are all cut by YG HYPNOS from the opening track entitled 'Real Thing'. All the lyrics were influenced by each song on the album and contain references and samples throughout the song. RyanKeithFilms shot the video and managed to capture a real cozy vibe with the trip element I got from listening to the album, he even snuck in a clip of the album in the video. To top it off, I managed to stumble upon some footage of The Point and used it to subliminally cut them into the video. Its wild how full circle this song came but its cool to have a song about an album that has played a huge part in my life, with samples cut from that album and visuals from the band in the video to capture how the album made me feel. Anyway.. what a weird experience.

Keep Music Fun.

just a breather...

I'm still breathin'

Backbooth 8.27.16

A few years back I had the opportunity to open for Mike Stud in Orlando. During the set somebody yelled "Put Mike on Stage!" I laughed it off but later on thought "wow, that guy really didn't want to hear me" It didn't really bother me but it was the first time I ever dealt with heckling.

Over the past few years I've learned to have fun with hecklers and bring a comedic almost 'Pro Wrestling' element to dealing with this type of shit while still trying to keep the show rollin...

Last night during our set in Orlando somebody yelled "Put Desiigner on stage!" ...and that has to be the meanest thing i've ever had verbally hurled at me. #PrayForOrlando

-Shhh, Be Quiet

Recently, like over the last 6 months 'Recently', I have been on a strange vibe. I can't tell if it has to do with how things going on professional, or if its something deeper than I even know. 

Things have been moving forward at a turtle like pace. I'm not in any hurry. I'm just glad things are moving in the right direction. 

The 'Killing Bugs With Hockey Sticks' mixtape is finally done and will be ready for distribution in September through Jadekoth.com and DeadFlyRadio.com. Literally a handful of people put effort  into making this project work. It took a while but I think you'll enjoy the production. 

I wanna thank Kushgrams for supplying and allowing me to get with him on all the beats and really work together and catch the right vibe for these cuts, 

I wanna thank Bree for helping me burn a million CD's before gigs and putting together the artwork and graphic work for the posters, cover art and other challenges that require a MicronPen, 

I wanna thank Gunk for always staying patient and keeping a strong mind and always looking to learn more and help this project grow and distributing everything.

I wanna thank Daddy C for inviting me into Lakehurst and treating me to a hospitable and comfortable recording experience, also I think these are the cleanest sounding tracks to come out yet. 

Thank you guys for all your help. 

-Your Friend

Killing Bugs Droppin' 8/5

Living with Kushgrams has allowed me to catch a ringside seat into his world of beat making. From cuttin' samples, to learning new bass lines his progression has surpassed many of my expectations and he continues to learn and build many new sounds still. I'm excited to know him as a friend but watching him develop as an artist is pretty neat too. He's been producing my upcoming mixtape "Killing Bugs with Hockey Sticks" which is set to drop around 8/5 which is gonna be followed up by his beat tape. Stick around and dive into the sounds we've been creating, I think you'll enjoy.

5 years...

I'm pretty sure this starts out the same every year but I still cannot believe its been 5 years now :( 

I still have your number locked in my phone and from time to time I start thinkin' I could give it a buzz and you would pick up. I miss your atmosphere and the knowledge you would drop on my friends and I when you would come to town. I feel like right before you passed we started to really connect on a more mature "adult" level. 

I've been on the music heavy and taking it more serious than ever. I wish we could collaborate and bridge the 20 year gap of influence to make something beautiful. 

I still have your videos and photographs to remind me of who you were. 

If you were still around there would probably be no Jade Koth​ ..and I wouldnt mind that 1 bit. 

At times I lose focus but its not long before you bring me back to reality. 

I love you and I miss you Always.
