AJ - AsSERTive

So I was fucking around trying to do my best @SertOne impression.

I don’t know, I think I failed. HAHA.

Carson - Resilience

I have the pleasure of being related to the lead singer of Carson and I must say I’m impressed with everything I’ve heard from them so far. Check out their new music video.

It’s moments when I get messages like this that make me realize why I’m doing what I do. Whoever you are, Thank you. Your message is inspiring and will keep me up until 9AM making sure my tracks are as good as they can possibly be.

Preview of what’s to come in 2012.

AJ feat. Yani Mo, AT, Allen Thomas, Felix Von Soco, Khalil Who, EyeBeIllin, Logik, Ziggy, Bari & Ace Da Vinci - Still Amazin’

So here it is. Merry Christmas guys. I hope you appreciate all of the work that has gone into this project.

Available for download here.

The Talonted Experience

A while back I had the pleasure of playing some keys for my man Talonted for his album release party and the footage is here. Check it out. Shouts to my man Jason Allen and David “Tha Chozen One” O’Neal as well!

AJ - Based

Bitch I’m stepping out, Gene Lake / occupation? Being great
disposition? Fuck the hate / greatest ever? just you wait
toppling the towers of rap, they call it Jenga
I let creativity flow through all 10 of my fingers
speaking of my fingertips, play that Poe and Dilla shit
puts me in a mood to just create a symphony of hits
all without a cosign / been making beats since i was 9
so I’m putting Reason down to show that I can really rhyme
thanks to Dee I love grime / only did petty crimes
so when cops come a knocking they wont find a trace of mine
never been inside a jail and I dont ever plan to
so I’m tryna use my words to buy a heap of land dude
turn that lot into a park / bitch I’m Ron Swanson
can’t talk to our presidents / so we made up God then
separated church and state to keep you out our residence
worked for a while until we let that Bush era in
now we’re in a terror state / see the look upon our face
young consume the young while older heads just call the shit fate
basically we’re outta wack / I aint smart enough to say
I know how to change it back / please listen to AJ
so we riot and try to change our society
when we cant even see that we were built on non-equality
fuck that I’m on my path / closer than I’ve ever been
just afraid that once I’m at the top no one will let me in
so I dream of lotteries holding Kia keys
turn the news on and see protestors on the street
and they look like me / cause I look like them
cops can’t tell the difference they just pass out 5-10s
so I try to be weary of my whereabouts
soon as niggas act up don’t look for me I’m out
cause I know the word is out travel quick through word of mouth
niggas acting ludicrous and ain’t never been to the south
they don’t need a warrant cause your party’s too rowdy
when I’m 4 houses away you can smell the weed from Cali
that’s why we getting busted
incriminate ourselves then got the nerve to scream out
where’s the motherfucking justice
you just want that MGMT gimme that electric feel
by the time we 18 already had weed and pills
what ya life like? mine dog? of course it’s real
chasing dreams left me without means to afford a meal
I ain’t complaining I’m just saying what the truth is
read that patriotic act and see who’s being ruthless
throwing up gang signs, representing for ya team
how’s that different from us in Iraq with military teams?
so the war is wrong but rap beefs is hella cool?
how the fuck you sound? grow up don’t be a fool
the world is changing we can all be apart of it
but first you gotta realize that we’re the ones who started it
I’m not God, I don’t think he’s real
but you could believe all you want if it helps you feel
like you’re doing right while still doing wrong
and it’s a shame that nobody will even hear this song
but I’m cool with that I rap for myself now
18 albums and counting upon my shelf now
one day the world the will see, that somebody needed me
I just hope you realize the somebody I mean is me

Alright guys, it’s here. I know, alot of build up and delays and pushbacks, and even my own leaks of certain tracks. I held onto it for as long as I could stand it. It’s not perfect, but you know what, nothing will ever be. This is a piece of me, and I’m sharing it with you. I hope you enjoy.

I decided to do something different this time around, I will still have the album up for streaming at Bandcamp and it’s still available for free via Mediafire, BUT if you want to support me, I also have the “Let Fan Name Price For Download” option up at the Bandcamp. Meaning, when you hit the Bandcamp page, you can click on the “Download” option there, but it’s really more like a donation that comes with a free album.

Ace da Vinci - Yikes! (prod. by AJisReal)

I was reminded of this excellent AdV joint I produced by a fan of his. Swear to God I appreciate what that man does to my beats. Makes em sound so much better.

Nowhere near “Chick Songs” (formerly known as The Friend Zone), not quite “This Instead…”, Not Quite Yet EP is a warm-up for the things to come. It’s a nice introduction into the world of AJ for those who’ve never heard of me, and it’s just what you need to satisfy you until the end of September when “This Instead…” drops. Check it out.
