The Chronicles of Rugz D. Bewler (Episode 2)

In episode 2 of The Chronicles of Rugz D. Bewler, I headed out to Long Island, NY to record my vocals for the song "Don't Dance" (produced by Nerve), off my upcoming mixtape Bewler's Day Off. This was seriously a long night. First we got lost driving to the studio. Then I got sick during the recording process. But it turned out all good in the end. Even heard some beats (and samples) from John "Braulic" Arnold that I might wanna fuck with.

2010 Is My Year

First things first, Happy New Year. 2010 is officially here. We are all so blessed to make it to see another year. With that said, I have already started making sure this year is my year. While some people were hung over from their New Year's eve celebrations, I was in the studio (24 Hour Karate School, aka, The Dojo) with the homies Ski Beatz and Scotch Davis laying down some fire. The above footage is of us recording the track "Bend Her Over (Life's A Bitch)" live on UStream. Check it out.

Da Duder Does It Again

Recently I took a trip down to Tribeca for a meeting with fellow Harlemite and former Roc-A-Fella/Roc-A-Wear boss, Dame Dash, at his new DD172/BlakRoc office (Not sure about the rumors of his financial trouble 'cause his office is crazy. It includes an art gallery [see pictures below], 2 recording studios, offices, production rooms, and a conference area).

While at Dame's office, a few industry people stopped by: Swizz Beatz (music producer), Angie Martinez (Hot 97 radio personality), Pat Carney (drummer for Dame's new Rock group, The Black Keys), and rapper Curren$y. 

But the highlight of my evening was recording two hot songs with legendary producer Ski (Jay-Z; 50 Cent; Camp-Lo; Sporty Thievez; and many more). Us recording together came out nowhere. It wasn't part of the plan; It just happened. That's what made it special. What's even crazier is that we left after Dame, closing the office down. Haha. I'm really excited about the joints we recorded though. I can't wait to let the public hear them. I definitely look forward to doing more work with Ski. He got that soul music I like. And he's a real cool brother. 

Check out some miscellaneous pictures of the day/night below:
