Ok guys so the blog's been a little dry lately but we've been working on some great new material. We started a collab project with Illie which is an upcoming team consisting of 3 of the SICKEST MC's u will EVER hear...these guys are definitely part of the SomeWhere Else crew and are some of the most talented ppl ive worked with so far...so they came to the Barnyard ready to work...M80 (whos also a SICK producer) brought some tite beats that were gonna work with in the near future but i ended up making a beat out of nowhere with nothing but electric piano chords and solos...Illie felt it right off the bat and got to work and ended up writing their verses BEFORE i was done making the beat!!!! never experienced anything like that...assholes...but anyways enuff talking...heres the process of me making up the drums, strings, and choir (even tho u cant really see it but hey its not all about SomeWhere Else lol) while Illie writes their verses...enjoy!!
So then in comes Lazy Ro who was prolly asleep the whole time and he immediately wants to be on it so he writes a verse as well and u already know what that nigga brings ...he brings the fire to the s'mores making camp events u feel me? no?...anyways i made up different piano riffs for each verse to keep it interesting so here they are spittin wats written to show the format of this lyrical masterpiece...so here they are killin it in Think by Illie feat. SomeWhere Else (p.s. i kill it at the end so ignore them niggas and take a bite of my fire sandwich freestyle lmao)

Pro Tools 8
Pro Tools really out did themselves. I didn't realize how much better it was going to be from the 7.4 version but they really stepped it up. If you didn't know we (SomeWhere Else) do all our own producing, and recording. Pro Tools was always just a recording program for us, and Logic became are main go to software, but now iono.

Tyree's Christmas Present
So i've been slaving in the Barnyard working on a bunch of beats to throw around and a bunch of jewels came up. I found the perfect samples to work with and since i wasn't down to go to "Geeks and Freaks" lmao i got my dood Ty and showed them to him. he loved all of them but i knew he'd love this one so i wanted to tape his reaction. we got a lot of work done before i went out so the night was definitely productive!
oh...and if u didn't get the ending, me and Premise are forming a new group called BellTower Monks...big news!! we'll keep you posted!!

The Premise
Alright guys for those of u who dont know Tyree hes been like our mentor since high school and had a good part in keeping us on the rite path. He got us into Christian club in high skool since he was the founder and speaker, and we immediately saw that he was deep and used extremely sick metaphors...hes been on the same page as us for a while and eventually he wanted to try his hand at rapping....now this guy is a poet so his flow is very unorthadox and he made a couple of impressive tracks throughout the years and they just stacked up...i feel like it must not have been the rite time to expose him because he went off to Bakersfield and started writing and practicing like CRAZY...i feel like he went off to train like Batman because now he can freestyle better then all of us on the drop of a dime...but here he is now going by the name Premise spittin over Kanye's "Say You Will"...enjoy!
Lol I told yall...so his myspace should be up pretty soon ill keep u guys posted...and dont worry cuz we got sum projects in store...

Blue Jars and Staring Stars
Ok guys so not too long ago i mapped out this huge, complex idea for a song on a SomeWhere Else beat that i thought was pretty cool (all credit to Mr. Lonnie Ro as well as Chris on the drums) No one really liked the beat at first, but when i heard it i definitely saw something in my head, and i wanted to make it as crazy and deep as i could. The eerie beat along with the dark sample repeating "Sit Down" made me think of a concept deeper than just about any song ive ever done so i went for it. The idea was so large and complex that i couldn't grasp the full idea in just one verse, so i pitched the idea to Lonnie and he loved it so here it is...the beginning stages of the new song by SomeWhere Else called "Blue Jars and Staring Stars"...enjoy!!
Ok so if you didn't quite understand that its basically a song about confidence. People sail after what they think they need to stay afloat when they can potentially fly without it. Heres the session of me recording my verse. Enjoy!!
Lyrics:
Its too hard
No fair cuz the chair over there's too far
On the chair is a pair of blue jars
Filled with tars that prepares those who never bared scars
There's a little girl crying in the crows nest
Doesn't know yet she can sail through the stars
The boat floats for those who know best
No stress, 2 leaks, all hands on deck
That kind of news hits hard
Need trampoline stairs to put a bounce in my step
Overboard depress, record progress
Navigate to moons, anchor down when your set
You gonna sink if you don't fix these walls
This type of space-ship's unfamiliar to yall
So you better get the blue hued jars
To restore the confidence to your barge
But you gotta sit down...

WARHOL MUSIK
I guess this is kontributing to kanye's "pop art"stage in life. I don't know if it's just me, but I feel like Kanye thinks he's Andy Warhol...no harm in admiring an artist (thought Warhol never klaimed himself to be one), but it's just a little...well indescribable i guess. It's not that I don't like what's he's doing, im just a little konfused as to why he felt he has to stress the fakt that he's doing it...just me though. Anyway, here's a new one with N.A.S.A., YE, Santogold, and Lykke Li (yeah, the "little bit" chick doing the weird yet somehow attractive dance) BUT IF YOU HAVE ANY INPUT ON THIS WHATSOEVER JUST LEAVE A KOMMENT BEKAUSE I WANT TO KNOW IF I'M THE ONLY ONE WHO THINKS THIS. THANKS.
