“If There Is No Struggle, There Is No Progress”
I always told myself that when it comes to my music i'd never prevaricate. With that being said, I've got some bad news. I was talking about this with Frank Ramz a couple weeks ago, we as unsigned artists without a budget or someone with money backing us, are going to face setbacks no matter what. My EP, Down 2 Earth was suppose to drop tomorrow. Unfortunately my engineer's father passed away last week and I won't be able to get the final copies of 3 songs off my EP until this weekend. I have no control over this, I wish I did but until I'm able to get those final copies I won't be able to put Down 2 Earth out. I'm not gonna say a specific date because I don't wanna let anyone down again but hopefully next weekend I'll be able to put it out. I assure you all that it is done and as soon as I get those final copies I will send it out to be posted. My apologies to anybody that was looking forward to hearing it tomorrow. Due to the unfortunate push back, I'm revealing the back artwork to the EP below.

Wingspan - Welcome (again!)

My upcoming EP, Down 2 Earth is dropping Thursday and since all the links to the first single "Welcome" are dead I thought I'd re-upload it. Promo is promo right? For those who'd like a description, below is what one of my producers had to say about the song.

"A few of you know, a few of you don’t – I am executive producing his ‘Growing Wings’ project (scheduled for a 2010 release) and I’m also heavily involved in his EP (‘Down To Earth’) coming out soon.
This is the first song to surface from ‘Down To Earth’ and gives you an impression of Span’s ability as an artist: powerful presence for a youngster, a well-constructed flow and a captivating autobiographical insight. The beat is by Thelonious and it’s HARD." - Charlie Hilton

Write the Future

Yeah, so I was already pretty excited for the World Cup. Nike just raised my excitement level by about 10,000 factors.



This brilliant new ad, starring Didier Drogba, Wayne Rooney, Cristiano Ronaldo, Fabio Cannovaro, Franck Ribery, Landon Donovan and Tim Howard (everyone I could pick out), plus Kobe Bryant/Roger Federer/Homer Simpson), is beyond awesome. This might be the greatest sports advertisement in the history of western civilization.

The only way I could possibly like this more is if it were a 3 minute NBA ad starring all of Nike's NBA stars. Maybe.

Yeah, so Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals wasn't very good. But this was.



Shannon Brown tried his best to replicate Dwight Howard's Superman "Dunk." In a game. While jumping over someone. Actually, this dunk would have been like Dwight's Superman combined with Vince Carter's "Jump Over Frederic Weis" Dunk.

Where was this during the dunk contest Shannon?


I actually thought he was going over the backboard-

Everything in Its Right Place

In honor of LOST's final week. Here's the greatest T.V. promo ever made.

LATE PASS
This video is incredible as is the song. I'm sure most people have heard this song on HBO seeing as how it's the theme song to "How To Make It In America" but who cares. If you like good music, you probably enjoy good visuals to go with it right?
