Be sure to check out my latest track and let me know what you think. This track's produced by High-Klassified one of the dopest producers out. If you haven't heard of him you need to. Also huge shoutouts and thanks to all the blogs who showed support and posted the track. I appreciate the love. Be on the look out for more music from me and the team.

High-Klassified of the Alaiz camp is quickly becoming one of my favorite producers to listen to. Hailing from Montreal, he has quickly been crafting his own niche and sound. His use of combinations of heavy hitting bass and trippy spaced out sounds create for a very exciting and unique listening experience. What really makes his tracks stand out is his ability to mesh sounds in which normally don't go together in order to create a fresh and innovative sound.

Feature: WesleyPipes Hats(@WesleyPipesHats)

WesleyPipes Hats is a hat company that started in late 2009 with the "original" WesleyPipes Hats by Shane Stevens. The original hat was designed for Stevens' brother who came from a motorcross background and was always seen rocking trucker hats. This first hat was a light grey foam/mesh hat simply stating "Wesley Pipes" in the middle with a vertical exhaust pipe on each side. What began as 

a comical yet fitting name stuck as the line was originally developed. When asked about the inspiration behind the designs and brand Stevens' said "I have a background in studio art and have always loved painting. I have painted walls, cars, boards, and canvas in many different styles over the years. I have sold in local galleries as well produced many commissioned pieces. Around this time in 2009, times where getting tough in the art game due to the "recession", so I decided to paint on a different medium, hats. I produced a small sample series that I gave to friends and family to sport and give me feedback. That series is known as "W.Pipes Series 1" and can be viewed on the "Archives" page of the Official WesleyPipes Hats Site" Stevens' received a large amount of positive responses to his line and decided to make a small investment into trucker hats. Since then, Stevens' has expanded the line now offering Limited Edition Snapbacks, WPH Mesh Trucker Snapbacks, WPH Natural Hemp Strapbacks and more. WesleyPipes Hats mission statement is "Dedicated to providing the public with the freshest hats available." It's safe to say that Stevens' hasn't deviated from this statement and is working to bring the people a better brand and better product to wear. WesleyPipes Hats represents lyricists, djs, and athletes  across the country and am always interested in new talent. If you have skills, hit up Stevens'. In the future, I look forward to doing artist collaborations as well as fitted styles. You can expect to see more unique styles and designs all the time. I anticipate WPH coming to a shop near you.

10 Things Writers Should Stop Asking Rappers in Interviews

Ever read an interview with rappers spitting the same old spiel? You know, stressing how their album’s a “classic” and that they’re leading a “movement.” Yeah, right. Pretty cliché and deserving of being thrown in the “Things rappers should stop saying in interviews” garbage heap. Well, the writers asking them the lame questions deserve some of the blame as well. After all, they’re the enablers that are setting them up for failure. That said, XXLMag.com presents the “Things writers should stop asking in interviews” list. Writers, get your notepads out. – Mark Lelinwalla of XXL

1. Who’s your Top 5 MCs all-time?: While the question may trigger an interesting response, just the sound of “Top 5 MCs” is jarring to the eyes at this point. Ask in a different way or stay away from this altogether. Please. Also Not Acceptable: Who are your influences?

2. How do you feel about…? (Baiting MCs into beef)
Be detailed. If there’s a specific example of an MC saying something sideways to another, use that. Don’t be too vague and don’t go fishing for beef because your interview may end up sleeping with the fishes. That’s dead.

3. How is this different from your last album?: As a writer going into an interview, you should have listened to his or her last album and ask something like ‘What’s the direction of this LP?’ Move forwards, not backwards, man.

4. When’s your album coming out?: Come on, son! Speak to the same label reps that probably set up the interview and find out the answer through them. Asking an artist this is a throwaway question and a waste of time.

5. What separates you from other artists out there?: Hey stupid, YOU should know. There’s hundreds of MCs out there, so what’s the point of asking a guy like Lil B how he’s different from the rest? You, the writer, should know.

6. Who’d you work with on this album?: Again, this goes back to the preparation and research behind an interview. For the most part, there’s a tentative tracklist at the time an artist starts doing media for a new project. It’s a reporter’s responsibility to find out who he or she is working with and rather ask, ‘How was it working with so and so?’

7. How would you describe your style?: Instead of asking the MC, why not describe the rapper’s rhyme style for the reader? It could be done in a sentence in the Q&A’s intro rather than wasting space in the actual Q&A.

8. What can fans expect from you?: The writer is supposed to let readers aka “fans” know what they can expect from a new album. Set a rapper up with this question and you’re prone to get some MC diarrhea of the mouth. Ugh.

9. Why should fans pick up the album?: Simply put: The question is unnecessary. That’s because the average MC is going to litter the interview with multiple reasons why fans should cop.

10. If you ever had the chance to work with anyone who would you work with?: Yes it can lead to good answers at times, but it’s just asked way too much. Stop playing matchmaker. Stick to the lecture at hand.
