Just got back from a creative & inspiring weekend and thought I'd share this very behind the scenes piece of the excitement. As you know, I've been feeling out some new sounds, flows, etc these past few months. One great way to do that is to hop on random beats and start freestyling. So I asked my buddy Matt to start throwing me instrumentals. He was skeptical at first, but I think I handled them pretty well. Definitely had fun, found some new grooves, and may use pieces of these in future songs. I usually keep stuff this raw to myself, but I can share more if you want. Let me know what you think! Any and all feedback is appreciated, whether positive, negative, or indifferent. 

Much love,

Sam

Ascension - ft. Bakari J.B. & SPNDA (Official Video)

First video off Disconnection, entirely produced by EvillDewer. This one features the homies Bakari J.B. & SPNDA and was directed by Rose Glen Entertainment, who you will remember from the Who Told You? video. Shoutout to Trespassion for the drone assist. 

Enjoy.

Still Here (Prod. by Latrell James)

Good Evening - Hope all is well. Just recorded this one yesterday. It's been a while since I've shared anything new with ya'll, but the new album is off to a great start. At the same time, I've been feeling more invisible than ever - like the walls are closing in and I'm almost out of rope. It struck me that I may not be the only one feeling like this, so if you're in need of a little extra motivation this one's for you. We keep going, that's all there is to it. iTunes, Spotify, Tidal, etc will be live by the end of the week.

We're celebrating the one-year anniversary of our joint EP with a Northeast tour! This'll be our first time on stage together & we can't wait to get weird with ya'll. Each show will feature a beat set by EvillDewer, followed by my set. I'll be performing most of the album...Some of the songs for the first time. 

Dates are listed below, but for more info click one the flyer & it will take you to the event page. Or just hit me up!

Which show do you think you'll be at? Anyplace else you think we should play?

Uncle Sam MC tour dates

What. A. Fucking. Year.

Don't know how else to put it. Myself & pretty much everyone I know was strapped onto one hell of a roller coaster for most of 2017, and I'll bet the same goes for you. We've got a lot to talk about...We'll get into that when these new records come out, though. You'd rather listen than read, right?

A whole lot happened musically, as well. More than I remembered actually. I put together a short list so you can revisit the moments & catch the one's you missed. Warmed my soul on this snowy afternoon...

• New Logo: Gooba outdid himself with this one & it's energy has carried every move I've made since.
• Disconnection: On February 2nd I released my third EP, a twisted collab with EvillDewer. This was one of my favorites. Besides getting weird in the studio, I had a lot of fun turning old photos into cover art for each single.
• Stains: Released this demo for the tortured souls out there on Valentine's Day. Love is hard.
• Ascension Edit: Linked of with Dez from CTTC Radio to shoot this video for my verse from Ascension. Don't tell Homeland Security.
• Broke and Woke: My first podcast! This was a lot of fun & a deeper look into who I am/was.
• Tees!!: Finally made some. I like 'em a lot & still have a few left if you need one.
• I'm a Model now?: Farrah Evita approached me about doing a shoot, so we did one. Really good time & I kinda want to do more.
• Stone Church: Played this legendary venue in Newmarket, NH. You can hear the set here.
• The Paul Bunyan Project: We started work on my most adventurous project yet. Can NOT wait for you to hear this. Summer '18?
• Damaged Goods Podcast: Linked up with J the S while out in LA to record this gem of an episode. Can't wait to get back.
• New Videos: Also shot a lot of footage on my travels, which turned into the video for Solitude. Bonsai got a treatment as well, though that's from Maine.
• Unreleased I: May start doing this every few years. Dropped a batch of feature verses from other people's albums that don't seem to be coming out.

2018 we take everything up a notch! I've got my first show next Friday at Jewel in Manchester. Gonna be a kick ass night, I'll have my band with me too. Always a good time rocking with The Militia. More shows, music, and adventure on the way. Stay tuned...
