There’s been a lot of talk about the Cool-Aide project Chum and I have been working on for some time now. But we feel like it’s the record of our careers so far and we want it to get the proper love that it deserves. We want to establish ourselves a little more before Cool-Aide comes out so we made a record that we want you to hear before Cool-Aide comes out called “Flavor Ade.”

It’s fun. It’s fly. It’s flavorful!

But you should already know “Flavor Ade” was what you got if you couldn’t afford “Kool-Aid.” Read the rest of this entry »

7 days until the CCFA half-marathon!

RUN 4YL: The Running Blog!

Ok folks! I got less than a month left and I’m kicking it into high gear with the blogs and running. This is the first running blog. I’m gonna do a few of these every week whenever I can think of some place interesting to run and show you. This time I ran from North Philly to Ikea in South Philly. I think there wasn’t enough oxygen going to my brain because I said Ubiq was on 14th or 16th Street. 14TH STREET IS BROAD STREET DUMMY! HAHHAHA.

Aight, I gotta go get my running in for the day.

Shoot me some ideas of where I should run. I think I’m gonna run from 42nd street in NYC to Junior’s in Brooklyn for some cheesecake. No…seriously hahaha.

Did you catch me on VH1?

Check out VH1 Hip Hop Honors and you will see me over 30 times. I’m the guy in the blue hoodie and Phillies hat going nuts. The camera man was directly in front of me, I could have reached out and blocked the camera with my hand and yeah I got as much burn on TV as a featured act hahaha! So many heads have been hitting me up this week about it that I haven’t heard from in years.

Get used to it folks. I told you mom, I’m gonna be a star ;)

Feels like my luck is changing….

peace

Google Agrees: iCON the Mic King is the best rapper ever!

So I’m chillin’ over here writing verses for “Flavor Ade” and thinking about how I actually may be the best rapper ever. I wondered to myself what it would feel like to be that person. If I am that person how would I know? Then I said to myself, in this day and age how does anyone know anything? They google it. So I googled best rapper ever.

Well what do you know? Guess who is chillin’ on the first page. Good ole iCON the Mic King!

Now I let me be clear. I don’t think I’m better than anyone as person. I certainly do not. I’m well aware that there are plenty of people that are better at being people than me, but as far as being the best rapper ever made…yeah I got that on lockdown!

Ok now that I got that out of the way..Robots with Hearts is finished! I am very much amazed by how well it came out. I felt like it was just some sort of collection of songs, but nah Andy (Animals on Wheels) really turned it into a cohesive album! I guess that’s part of being the best rapper that was ever made, you get to impress yourself!

Cool Aide…I’ve finished all my parts Chum is doing what an actual producer does and bringing it more to life. I’m so proud of my work on the album. I can’t wait to put it out and see what the world thinks….well it seems the already thinks I’m one of the best at the whole rapper thing. Damn wait til they hear this ;)

There’s still a lot to do. Looks like we’re about to shoot the first Cool Aide video. I got that birthday thing coming up in exactly 2 weeks as well. We’ll see how that goes.

I’m mad tired, but this blogging stuff is pretty fun, so with that said I’m gonna leave you guys to think about what I’m humbly creating for you behind the scenes. Even though I create all this music I wait for it just like a fan would. I don’t consider my readers my fans, but my family so I can’t wait to share this new music with my family.

Oh and I did an interview recently. Check out the latest iCON the Mic King interview!

Have a good night fam!

peace
