Saturday in the A

Crazy energy out in Atlanta this weekend. 1st some of the premier sneaker afficionado's from all over the World are converging on ATL for Greg Streets Sneaker Friends function. Also Converse is having a b-ball tournament featuring Jim Jones(Cam'ron actually made a guest appearance), Jay Electronica, Sean Price and some other folks. There's also a Sean Price show tonite as well as Mayweather rematch with Sugar Shane Moseley. Also some good folks in town, but this is a positive weekend to start thinking about Summer and stacking. From the end of June to the End of July, I'm anticipating alot of craziness. Really all summer, but I'm planning on doin alot of travelling between those times.

EDIT: Caught up with Sean P! that show and chopped it up wit him and Sha Stimuli! Real Talk and a dope show = Winners in the Circle

The Gritty Committee presents Sean Price Live from Lex Boogie on Vimeo.

AH HA

I was gonna leave this 1..........Dear John letter shit.....but, I owe more to those who actually read this blog and enjoy it. Where have I been? Yeah as you can tell I been in flux for a while. I been grinding working as a Vid tech early in the am, streaming video from all over the world. I've been recording/producing expressing my art and staying creative. I've been travelling, I've been working on my home and I've been planning and networking for the future. Now to some, that won't seem like alot on the plate, but mix all that in with keeping the daily stresses and struggles at bay and keeping ones self healthy. I have been getting lazy with wanting to even dedicate the time to blogging. I have a ton of pics from my latest travels that may or may not see the light of day in this format. I just haven't been feeling giving people myself/thoughts/etc. I've been feeling like holding more for delf and being selfish. Not to say I am selfish, but as a creative person and "true" artist who paints life's canvas I honestly don't always feel inspired.

Some pretty great things have happened lately.

I got a chance to go up top and see a lot of friends I grew up with from like 6 years old. I got a chance to reconnect with family and further center myself. I released another free download project in 2009 which has been getting alot of positive feedback from those who took time and listened. I got to meet personally some folks I have only known online. I also have been presented with new opportunities.

I'm looking at doing some more work with this music and expanding the catalogue. I love the culture so this is more labor of love as opposed to business.

I'm guiding the brilliant direction of those others around me. Broady International, focusing on my company 4th Eye Media LLC and continuing to help with the expansion of www.thegrittycommittee.com <-Please if u follow me here, follow me over there and support that movement.

I've been invited to contribute to 1 of the fastest growing and hottest blogs around " Combat Jack's Daily Math http://daily-math.com/weblog/ <- Please check me and the other brilliant writers over there as well. Huge potential for that movement.

I plan on going back and furthering education by obtaining a cert for Networking( hey now in the present is when you handle the future)

Plotting more travel and expression and making my mark. Thanks for your taking time to come and visit this blog. The funny thing about this blog was that it was just my practice to get the Gritty Committee off the ground. I never intended to be here as much as I was. I just got into a groove and truly enjoyed the outlet. I may eventually revitalize this place with new energy, but my plate has been extra full. Expect some of the classic posts and some of the favorites to reappear at either Daily Math or the Gritty.....Hey no need to waste any good posts that maybe only 6 or 7 people saw....lolz.....

oh yeah as always I'm on twitter. Thanx for giving me a few seconds of your time. The positive reinforcement also helped push me further than I could have imagined.

Where u been at

I'm here, just been wrapping this project and shillling. Been doing more and more drops at THEGRITTYCOMMITTEE . more up to date shit. Haven't really had the time, due to some temporal displacement because my molecules are moving more rapidly at the moment.....fell back off twittering and pretty much everything else online....I'm around but not hardbody. A few things in the works, but I'm feeling a lil burned out. I'm on sabbatical soon s tis tape is done. Back to traveling and expanding. Since I've beenlocked in at the gig and with the art my movements haven't been as O.T as the past few years. That will be changing in December. I'm back on that gristle. First Philly,then NJ, then NY then Outside US then the West.........That's the plan and I plan on sticking to it. Been working out staying chisel. The bornday is less than a month away and I feel a year younger. Been reading the Rza book, writing for delf, excercising and vibing on all the yesterdays new quintet eps.................Heres a curveball tho'.......take it away and give it up for Mr. Gary Wilson.- If you want a tone to describe my vibe........this is it.

Me:Revisited

Aiight, whattup to my g's who follow the kid!!!!! Nothing moving but the $. Been on my heavy excercise regiment, no dranking, no smoking, just stacking.....Clearing my head of all the bullshit....Enjoying listening and reading more than spitting and speaking. I've been working on art and just gaining knowledge, same time reflecting on past losses and triumphs. I don't know what it is but shit is seeming really blase to me at the current moment. Shit just doesn't move or excite me like that. NOTHING. I'm not depressed, I'm in a good place actually, but I feel like I need a major trip. Nothing fuels me like travel and with the new gig I've undertaken I haven't really been able to jetset like I had been the last few years....I've gone to New Orleans and Florida alot, but I needs to go home, sink into that east coast vibe and fully recharge my battery. Every time I go back to the crib (Philly,NJ,NY) I soak it up fully and bottle it and take it with me and become damn near unstoppble....Not to say I can be stopped already, but we move a lil differently, vibrate at a different speed, plus I get to build wit my crimey's I ran the streets with as a youth. Sometimes u need that perspective as well. I know for a fact, I can't do uptop for longer than a week or two tho' because u start falling into routine and that is never a good thing. I remember the routine for uptop and being settled and comfortable with shit, even tho' there is always something to do and the energy is crazy...once you adapt to it, it becomes boring. Trust me I know. Now I'm a minamalist, happy to just chill in the castle with the queen and get out every once in a while, still remaining low key. Trust, I feel that alot more than my previous life of running the streets crazy and sharpening my game by talking to multiple chicks and still going out to bag more.

Now I feel like a Jedi. One who has soaked up some wildlife and is rich with experiences on a global level. I give thanks to have lived a lifetime before the age of 20. In my 20's I did exactly what I was supposed to do as well. Take chances, go out on my own and make mistakes. Take advantage of opportunities and fully sharpen my blade. I was cool with hustlers who were in their 30's when I was 17 and 18 yrs old. I was wit a chick who was 37 when I was 18. I was in desolate hoods seeing shots pop peoples tops off and at the same time was connected in the burbs as well, being in million dollar homes.Seeing shit like red rock opium and being in the hoods where the labels on the baggies was the rep. "Yo got them Batman baggies over here", "Yo this that, choclate,skunk, afghani,hydro,Kill,Lah,etc. etc. These types of experiences allowed me to relate to folks on many different levels and being on the entertainment industry grind helped me to see through people very quickly. Even to this day, I meet the people who I admire in different professions and they always pull me to the side to build and drop jewels. I always feel good about the fact that people give me the time of day moreso than some pedestrian hi and bye shit. It shows that the energy I've harnessed still glows. Yeah, sometimes I test myself to see if I still got it. Really I don't care. It takes alot to be a dude who can bag a chick, get her wrapped up, then delete the number or throw it away quicker than it took to get it. You gotta test your discipline and set higher standards for yourself to truly be considered a champion. To the insecure, your humbleness may come across as arrogance....fuck em tho'.

My circle gets smaller and smaller as I grow, just like how the earth looks smaller and smaller the more you blow and elevate. I'm talking about space folks.....The planet is small, the galaxy is big. I ain't got time to sweat the terrestrial small shit. I may do my lil twitter rant and move on, but trust, I don't take none of this shit serious. Humor to me is when I see straight thru folks who do take themselves too serous and scream out for attention. The music industry is full of folks who just now are starting to develop an "ego". You can tell just by how they act and carry themselves now that they have a little bit of light on them, that they were totally unaccustomed to anyone ever paying attention to them. Some people may not be able to see through it but I can and have always been able to. It's humor. Same time tho' I take it as the fact that you are supposed to laugh alot during your day and these jokers and jesters provide the fuel for that comedy.

Nothing I love more than just sharpening the tip of my bullets, loading up and taking aim with the confidence that I'm gonna hit my mark. 1 shot 1 kill!

I'm right here!!

Yeah!!!! vibing off the Power of activity. Been getting my run on.......summertime out at the park. Yeah, getting back in shape...terrorizing peoples grills and heavy chilling. Soaking up this summer sun. My vibe is real Alpha Omeg.....not to be confused with Alphamega, tho I don't know dude personally, but definitely enjoyed the energy he was bringing to the table....Anywhoo, hope y'all been lamping and living.....-breathe-

Yeah, tho I kinda fell back from the internets and putting my brainwaves towards this shit, I've been in the lab cooking up a few different souflees....dig it. My head is to the grindstone and I'm a million miles away from where I was even a few months ago. I know if you been following then you know I been positive most of the time with this blog, tho every Peak comes with valleys, I can honestly say that I'm growing pretty well. I'll be posting a lot more good shit and get back in the swing of things........heres a lil interview I did recently wit LacedOut, a lifestyle and flavor blog/magazine. Just some shit off the chest.......it feels good to vent....lolz....

Heres the interview LACED OUT INTERVIEW

Back at IT

When your soul is at peace, you just feel good. Been back on my positive shit just realizing that most of what I been doing has beenelevating from where I was a year ago. Had some major paradigm shfits this past year. Definite growth, upgraded career, got the house renovations coming along, just sold one of my cars, got the family in town and have just been sharpening skills.......

It all starts with one thing. Thinking positive. That's it. No matter what your religious preference. It starts with a thought. The mind is powerful. Putting forth that energy leads to positive things happening. TRUST!!!

When these people come at me as enemies, this is what I see thru my eyes


It's hard to stay in a fucked up mindstate or attitude when you think like that!

He's back

Yeah just had a restfull weekend in Florida..........chilled heavily with fam,maxed out hit the beach and flipped Turkey Burgers. It's good to catch up with the folk and get your stress in check. I feel like I gained years just from soaking up the Sun and their energy. I love being detached from home....it makes coming back to the crib that much better. I been leaving tweets about the whole thing, but to fill y'all in it's been real. I got some big drops coming soon here as well as at Grittycommittee.com

Only say that to say this, if y'all wanna catch up with me I'm here...or I'm there....or I'm on twitter...or I'm in the streets. I'm not hard to find. It's all about having all your eyes opened. I've been busy but thesecret is to make it effortless. Work hard.......I tend to feel like if you can't feel that burn when u work out u aint working hard enuff. I've been making sure that no matter what I've been doing it I have to feel like I've exerted myself. I have to feel exhausted physically but contented mentally. My energy been rotating something lovely. I know some of y'all have been keeping up wit me for months and during that time I've been maintaining...standing strong even in the midst of adversity and attrition. I have my energy channelled and harnessed to where it has me on my pivot like a Top. I'm spinning too rapidly, now the real trick is not to spin out of control, but to gracefully draw em in and hypnotize em while they don't even see.hahahahahhahahahahha yeah, I'm there.

Stay Tuned

The Power of Oneness

"Conversation enriches the understanding, but solitude is the school of genius."
Sir Edward Gibbon

"Every evening I have a by myself meeting"
Cappadonna


I move at the speed of life. That said you know that everything goes in cycles. Some cycles are abrupt,abrasive in your face and straight up explosive. Other cycles more contained and subtle. The latter is how I'm moving now. Totally changed my environment and started seeing the power of self. Making that mental affirmation that it's time for a life change and paradigm shift and then focusing your energy and alowing it to happen. I've been going thru this process for months and within the last week am I finally able to say that "Yes things have changed" and it's all for the better. I tell people this shit all the time, that "You" are the only 1 who can change "You". Sometimes seeing is truly believing because it takes some dramatic almost supernatural shit to bring people around. I tell folks that "I don't go to church, but I talk to God". A lot of times folks like to go thru the motions to feel like their doing something instead of really doing it. I like to put that good work in and really really grind so that I can not only see but enjoy the fruits of my labor. Things work in cycles, yes, but it's being prepared mentally and physically for that shift. I'm here now exhausted from my new change of pace, plus from exercising real heavy this week my whole body is numb...............I've been doing a lot of thinking and just trying to find that peaceful medium. I'm very dis attached from things and I'm enjoying it more and more that way...Just let me be an island on my own, cuz that's how I'm feeling.

Locked and Loaded

Been a Super Positive week, y'all. I have been feeling a positive energy burst of late. I been putting that energy out there, connecting, building relationships and most importantly following up. Those things are starting to bare fruit. I have a pretty big meeting tomorrow, which would enable me to do bigger and better things as well as have more stability. I have a good friend of mine coming into town this weekend, my man C Rayz Walz and he just hit me on the horn talking about building on some good things. I got the camp hitting the streets dipping to a couple of events this weekend and I also have been feeling great due to my workout regiment I've been on daily. Been real sober and clear headed as well. Got another letter from Chop in the mail that has me beaming. Got all my little toys in check,all the likkle idevices, the car running great and I'm gonna throw some black rims on this bitch in a minute, after I get done with siding and painting the house LOL......prioritize. Also gonna work on more music, the creativity has been flowing because the stress hasn't been there. My prayers get answered so I'm definitely thankful. The Gritty Committee is coming up, the Secret Society is coming up,PEEP THE SHOW SAT if You're in PHILTHADELPHIA, YEAH!! I'm one of those peoples who is happy and excited when good shit happens to the other cats in my circle! Oh My Pops check up went well too, everything is negative. I'm just taking a sec to touch up the blog and mentally get ready for the next level, cuz like I said I been feeling it coming for a second now. Stay UP!!! FARWARD Neva Backward!! And ONLY KEEP WINNERS IN YOUR CIRCLE!!!!!!

LIVE FROM PORTLAND

Home of NIKE and the Trailblazers, pretty chill place, very clean city...I mean not even a crumb on the ground. Very Earthy folk who blaze the highest of the highest grades and wax poetic. Everyone seems pretty educated too. Not just school smart but definitely know about foods and nature and they eat accordingly. No bodegas and the ones they have are health conscious. I had some fried chicken yesterday that had no grease, also had jalapeno and bison pizza with top quality mozzarella. The cheese had more protein than fat and the bison or buffalo meat has very little fat and is the most natural meat you can have and the jalapeno has the vitamin c and helps break down the meat quicker. They told me this as they was serving it. Copped some ill kicks and the ill Fidel Undefeated and got ALOT of love. The Roots was out here last night doin their thing as well. I didn't know this was a major hub like that.....I'll most def be back or should I say next time they send me a ticket I won't hesitate like I did initially.

Fronting on the world when i start 4 wheelin'

Yeah, just sitting back peeping the game........The kid is feeling mighty healthy....enriched if you will. I'm good throwing that middle finger out there and letting these folks know that "I see em". I been feeling like that shift within self has been coming. Well it's almost here, like tomorrow. I've been back on my calistenics, back on my patience and discipline and just meditating taking in life. The energy around me has been really influx, but God been looking out with that extra galactic spiritual push. I got my team around me, the roof over my head and been basically making something out of nothing but these visions and ideas in my head. Yeah, I know that people fear the unknown and all that, but I have faith. I got a flight out to Portland next week to do a gig, then I'll be back plotting on my NY trip and my Cali trip. We all just have to hold our heads and keep that faith and realize that everything happens for a reason. Get your mind healthy, get your body healthy and it will effect your whole being.

Let these crabs stay in their barrels, but do what you can to help push them out of it. Take your time to breathe and be thankful for what you have. Realize your talent and your intelligence and count your blessings. FOR REAL, take like 5 minutes and count them shits. I got friends who didn't make it to see this. I got friends locked down who don't even know what the hell a blog is. We all wanna complain about shit. Trust me I feel you, as soon as I accomplish something I'm thinking about the next thing,,,,,,,,,,I gotta slow down, but that's something I'm working on now. Shout out to DJ Neil Armstrong, these mixtapes is holding me down something ferociously right now.That's my favorite dj for the moment. Also shout out big Lex Boogie who's Birthday is today and big Karniege for his belated. You can catch all of us putting it down at www.thegrittycommittee.blogspot.com , yeah that's right Winner Circles folks, I'm over there too doing some heavy drops, that's the other blog home so if u don't catch me here or on twitter I'm over there cheffing up. The Wnner Circles is my personal, lemme holla at y'all joint, on some yeah come by the crib and let me fix you a drink. The Gritty Committee is me out with the homies just building at the clubhouse. Make sure you keep your eyes peeled as we further expand the brand. WE CONTINUE TO ELEVATE, make sure you doing the same so you can flow wit us.

Peace

GUILTY PARTY




Come and Get it!!!!!

In a NewOrleans state of mind

So I just returned from the New Orleans road trip. A beautiful journey really, more inspiration seeing people who have been wiped out putting their lives back together. New Orleans has been like a 3rd or 4th home to me for these last 10 yrs. Blame it on the food and creole women. Mardi Gras was phenomenal, saw Kid Rock and some other folks getting it in. I'm thinking about actually moving down there eventually and settling in, building something from scratch. I've got alot of love for Atlanta, but my energy here is not the same. The hey day of the late 90's early 2000's is gone. The growth hasn't been what I thought it would be. It may just be me getting more mature, ready to settle myself. I have visions of just having a boat and a fishing rod in my hand. The laptop wll be there as well just to keep me up to speed, but I'm really feeling as though I can fall back.

Now realize that the whole city did not flood and also realize that black people were not the only ones affected and left behind by the Gov't. N.O is a place that you have to experience,touch,taste,smell for yourself. No one can really describe the vibe or the feeling in the air. There is an electricity which most big and older cities have that Nawlins possesses as well. We got there Friday and almost immediately got it in with the grub. I'm talkin bout Deanies. The plate you see at the top of the page is their seafood feast. Soft Shell Crab,oysters,catfish,oysters,stuffed crawfish and more......I easily could have fallen out off of that. I mean that's the easy way to see why the high blood pressure levels are thru the roof. That's the obcene amount of food they put in front of your face at this spot.

After we left there we caught the Endymion parade and caught beads, saw titties being flashed and had ridiculous fun. I'm still getting my head together from everything so I haven't uploaded all my photos but more coming soon, just wanted to touch the blog up since it's been a minute.

WHO WAN' ROMP WIT ME!!!!!!!!!!!!

Get your face splacked off !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm in one of those moods. The energy building up........I'm getting amped for no reason other than the fact that I was a lil down earlier this week, feeling like I was catching a cold, but I thugged it out. Now I'm back on nation building and spreading love...........

I know y'all wanna step inside my astral plane...............well dig this.........Come on in.


I'm here.............
