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...

Friends - 

Last time we spoke, I was ricocheting around the Southwestern part of the map. It was a lot. I hit Northern & Southern California, Arizona, New Mexico, and Colorado in 16 days. I'm back in Boston now, but I've been hanging on to that energy as long as possible. I could write you a novel about it, but I think my words are better expressed in song...and I started on quite a few out there. Can't wait to share these new perspectives with you.

In the meantime - I've taken footage from the trip and worked it into new videos for you. Solitude is the big one, with landscapes from each of the states I visited. I also want to share this stream I found in the Santa Fe National Forest. I've been really focused on presence lately - calming my thoughts & existing in the moment. See if you can remain still for one minute...it's harder than it looks. I know I'm going to visit this video any time I need centering. Hope it can provide similar peace to you.

Finally, I matched up Bonsai with some video I took on the lake up in Maine this summer. One of my favorite songs & one of my favorite places. 

That's it for now. Keep in touch!!

Uncle Sam - Unreleased I

Five unreleased features I recorded over the past 3+ years. Doesn't seem like the official versions are ever coming out, so I figured I'd share.  Pretty rough mix, but I wanted ya'll to hear what an Uncle Sam feature sounds like. For more behind the scenes stuff, join me on Patreon.
