Passion’s back at it again with a new original entitled ‘Undefined’.
Heller Everone!
A song I started about 3 years ago but never finished. Until last week in Vienna, Austria after finding the inspiration to finish it. A song that was inspired by my gf, Claire ( i love you hunny).Have you ever met someone that made you feel a certain way and you tried to describe, explain, or define, the way they made you feel, but you end up not finding the words to describe because it’s just indescribable? Sometimes, people are just best left undefined. That’s what the song is about.
It may have taken a few years to finish but it was well worth the wait. It’s an upbeat acoustic number that has sweet lyrics and a fun melody. I’m digging this one. This guy is crazy talented.

Just as promised, IBU dropped their new album yesterday, available for purchase at several participating retailers including iTunes & Best Buy. We’ll have a review for you (eventually). But if you’re in the mood for some new r&b jams then pick it up now!
This is the message they posted on Myspace about it:
The dream we had one year and a half ago is now a reality. We know what artists go through when producing an album. Our first CD gave us a dose of it, and we were reluctant to take on this project. But our passion to write, record and perform music prevailed. We are very happy and proud to release this album. We’re thankful to our management, songwriters, producers, the media, and music industry professionals who supported this project. Most of all, we are thankful to our fans for their encouragement and continued loyalty. We are truly Inspired By U.
Tommy:
It was a long journey, but we made it. We put our heart and soul into this album and we hope that everyone out there feel the love, pain, joy and all that was put into it. Much love goes out to everyone that’s been with IBU 100%, most of all, to our family and friends, my mom, my brother and lastly my dad “Old Guy.” If only I can be half the man you were. We’ll see you again someday. We love you all

Mike:
Our passion for music helped us overcome the challenges and obstacles while working on this album. I thank God for the gift of IBU, my parents, family and friends for their support and understanding, and to all our fans who gave us the validation that we’re doing something right. Much love to you all!
.. ..
Jonathan:
There’s not enough space in here to say thank you. First off, God, for all the blessings you have given our group, to my family and friends who have put up with this unpredictable way of life I chose to live. Thank you in believing in me. To the rest of the people all over the world who continue and support and believe in IBU, we dedicate this album to you. Enjoy!
We reported earlier this year that Crown J had plans to break into the US industry and it looks like he’s another step closer to his official debut with the US version of his single “I’m Good”. What we’ve now learned is the Korean MC has enlisted the help of Young Dro to feature on the track, you can check the preview teaser below.
I wasn’t the biggest fan of the original Korean single, and that hasn’t changed with this US version. While the beat’s catchy Crown J comes off as a bit cheesy and unauthentic. But hey that’s just me. Do you think he has what it takes? Or will this be another instance of a single that gets very mild attention before vanishing into obscurity? *cough* Se7en *cough*
In all seriousness though, we wish him the best.

If AJ is successful in his campaign, then it may be true.
This is a song he wrote last year called ‘MidKnight’ written about The Dark Knight himself.
song i wrote last year (2008) about the struggles that Batman & Robin have being a superhero.
i’m trying to get this song heard by the people working on the new BATMAN MOVIE! help me by spreading the word and by downloading the song here: http://glowing-vision.net/music.htm
word of mouth is still no. 1 for getting good music out there! also, i appreciate the criticism and over-analyzing but can we just listen to the music! no matter what direction it’s going, the beginning piano line fits the emotion of Batman’s solidarity and his longing to avenge his parents who were killed because of crime when he was young. let’s be optimistic here! i can agree that the whole song itself is an unrealistic goal to have in the movie, but one can only dream that even a part of this song make it into a movie of epic proportions.
So spread the word and let’s see if we can make it happen! With some arrangement tweaking I can totally imagine a pop rock band like Daughtry turning this song into an anthem.

With the Asian Hip-Hop Summit tour in full swing and the gathering of Asian-American MC’s from all over I thought it’d be fun to take a look back to over 4 years ago where two prominent figures of today’s Summit battled it out for yesterday’s pride.
Check this oldie battle from the 2005 Kollaboration competition where Lyricks & Lyraflip competed in an old-fashioned freestyle battle. You may know em now, but did you know em back then?
You may recall how we reported that Rin on the Rox appears to have broken up … well they have been quiet since the announcement until Rin finally released a statement.
Here is what Rin posted up on her youtube description for her latest video:
FYI: Roxanne and I are still the best of friends =], Roxanne does not have her own channel, I only made this account for fun nothing too serious, I dont want to go solo just singing and posted vids for you guys =], Rin on the rox is on a break…I can’t say if it’s permanant or if were coming back to YouTube…we’ll see what happens…we love you guys and thank you guys so much for still supporting us.
It’s good to hear that they are still close although the question still remains what is to become of their career as a group. As for her latest cover, meh… not really feeling this one. She sang it well but it was all too karoake for me.
Why do I sound like Simon Cowell? haha
Peter Rocks, musician & founder of MyNinja! released the official MV for the song ‘The F.R.E.S.H.’ from the ‘Endless Summer’ mixtape. It’s a fun video and a great testament to how far the brand has come in such a short time.
Here’s what he had to say about the MV:
My Ninja! Presents, “THE F.R.E.S.H.” featuring FM (FAR*EAST MOVEMENT), Pigeon John, & Flynn Adam off the My Ninja! “Endless Summer” Mixtape by Peter Rocks.
Yes, we know this video has been long over due. The footage from this video (although very different at times) reflects what My Ninja! has been working on in the past year. It seems kinda crazy that we first only launched this past February. Time flies when you’re having fun. Special thanks to Bgirl Shorty for making this video extra cool!

Ellie from AAtheory/SB sat down with Magnetic North & Taiyo Na for another episode of EMT (Ellie Meets Talent). They all got to chat while on set for the Music Video shoot for ‘Summertime‘. A lot of topics are covered here so don’t miss this one.
Ellie Meets Talent, EMT, is back with another episode featuring the always handsome Taiyo Na and the talented duoMagnetic North. Reigning from the West Coast, T and Direct got together to form Magnetic North back in 2003 and it’s only looked up from there. The hip hop group, known for their “mix of refreshingly honest rhymes and organic beats,” are definitely AA forces to be reckoned with. Fast forward 6 years later, and the emcees have garnered respect, fans, and love from all over the country. Watch out for their new album to be released in late 2009.
Born and raised in the great City of New York, Taiyo Na, is a singer, songwriter, MC, producer, and spoken word poet. His debut album, “Love is Growth” received much acclaim with Okayplayer.com writing, “establishes himself as a multidimensional talent with a unique creative voice that fuses the rhythms of the city that raised him with the soul of the Asian immigrant culture that birthed him.” But don’t be fooled by his pretty boy looks, this AA artist is one of the most respected artists on our neck of the woods and exudes talent every time he hits a mic.
Na and Magnetic North have collaborated in the past, but expect their music video for “Summertime” to drop summer 2010. Our team was lucky enough to sit with the talented threesome to talk music, collaborations, crushes, and more. All here on the 3rd episode of “EMT.”
For those of you who have been following the Asian Hip-Hop Summit tour, you’d know dumbfoundead and company were travelling all over North America for the festivities.
Unfortunately it appears that there was a small mishap where their tour van was involved in an accident. It looks like everyone’s OK but they may have to miss a few shows while they take care of things.
The scheduled events are still set to take place but the show in DC tonight will likely be without dumb, Zo & Lyraflip (among others). However Lyricks & Manifest will still be in company so you should all still go out.
For updates be sure to follow dumb on twitter to get the latest and greatest news. Thank goodness it was nothing major!
