The release of Night Creatures in September 2010 was a pivotal one for MidPoint & I…the album garnered more accolades than we ever could have imagined: from individual songs being culled for other compilations to being voted one of the top ten albums of the year by Uncommon Radio to Prodigy (of Mobb Deep) rapping over “Taxi Cab” w/ Cash Bilz, a collaboration which will see the light of day very soon on Cash Bilz’s debut album. MidPoint & I thought it was only right to re-release the project for retail purposes, but not without giving you guys extra goodies to make the purchase worth your while. For only $5, you will not only receive the Night Creatures LP, but also a full color, 14-page digital booklet with artwork for each song as well as a 32-minute bonus disc with work from MidPoint & Lyle Horowitz from other available projects and unreleased material.

Please support great art and continue to allow us to make our music available for free by purchasing Night Creatures today. MidPoint & I are currently two tracks deep into the Night Creatures 2 recording process, stay tuned for more information regarding that album in the coming weeks. Thank you for your continued support. (CLICK HERE: http://nightcreatures.bandcamp.com TO PURCHASE)

As MidPoint & I begin work on Night Creatures 2, we decided to give the fans one last visual before laying the first Night Creatures project to rest. Enjoy this 20-minute mash-up medley featuring four Night Creatures jams: “At Midnight I Take Your Soul”, “The Clockwork Wizards”, “Go To Sleep!” and the instrumental for “Bellevue Dick” set to footage from one of my favorite horror films: The Abominable Dr. Phibes.

A few weeks ago, Prodigy went on uStream from Infamous Studios and I got a chance to send him some instrumentals. I got an email shortly thereafter from Infamous Studios that they loved “Taxi” (off my album Night Creatures with MidPoint) and would possibly want to use it. Fast forward to today, I’m listening to Prodigy’s new Ellsworth Bumpy Johnson EP and sure enough, I hear the beat in the background of the interlude that comes on before “Twilight”, which features Havoc. Wow. Would have been nice to hear P & Hav spit over the actual beat, but this is still an incredible feeling that I had to share.

Calling All Creatures!

The album is finally here, and I couldn’t be happier with the outcome. Night Creatures is easily the best project I’ve ever been involved with, and I want to thank MidPoint for working with me over the past 10 months on it.

Special thanks to Elucid, PreZZure and Mandeep on the guest shots — you guys helped us tie this whole crazy vision together.

Not much left to say, the music will speak for itself. To lovers of things that go “bump” in the night… enjoy!

(click artwork above to download the single or digital 12” for free) As Night Creatures nears it’s completion, I’m very excited to unleash “Bellevue Dick” featuring Elucid, the official first single off of the album, dropping August 30th. We’ve also included a special non-album b-side, “Indian Summer”. Next week, I’ll be flying to California to finish the album w/ MidPoint. The creation of the album began when he visited New York back in January, it’s crazy having spent so long on a project, but the proof is in the pudding.When he came out here, we made “Taxi”, which may be my favorite record on the album thus far. It’s only right that I head out West — while working over the internet is fine, there’s nothing like actually vibing in the studio with the other artist. Hoping that we can strike some last-minute gold while I’m there. We still have to finish “Bedtime / At Midnight I Take Your Soul”, the epic, nightmarish,  eight-minute album closer which you got a sneak peak of in our recently released teaser trailer. I’ve already said too much. I got a habit of getting in trouble with the management. Just remember the date: September 1st, 2010.Also happy to report that we are only a couple of shoot days away from wrapping I Love You, Mag and ready to announce that it will be released in September 2010 December 2010. Stay tuned for screening information. I’m proud of this film. Expect to laugh. Expect to think. Most importantly, expect to be able to follow it, as we’ve finally decided to create a linear plot line and dialogue in our universe. Self loathing or self realization? How about: still learning and not afraid to admit it. For those who have been asking: The Third Room has officially been cancelled. We’re still writing and developing new concepts for upcoming projects.In addition to my own projects, I continue to act as a consultant — handling public relations, web presence and executive producer duties for other artists. I got involved with Brooklyn-based hip-hop band The Union earlier this year, who you may remember from our Prince-sampling mash-up video for “The Life”. We recently wrapped their debut album, which is scheduled to be released soon. I appear on the album twice: spitting a verse (!!!) and co-producing a remix of “We Own The Sky”, which is now completely sample-free. Keep your eyes peeled for more Union-related video content from us very soon. Until next time…

5846 Progress Report
  • I Love You, Mag: Our first feature-length film. Originally scheduled for Valentine’s Day, we pushed it back ‘til June 23rd. However, due to unforseen circumstances, we have to delay it once again. Ideally, this will be out sometime between August & September. Things are moving again, but no more announcements until we have everything in the can.
  • Night Creatures: My collaborative LP w/ Midpoint Beats. I’ll be going to California in mid-August and plan on putting the finishing touches on it with him there. We plan on putting it out at the end of August.
  • The Third Room: My next short film, possibly a solo directorial effort. Shooting in the Fall, should be out end of the year or top of next.
  • Smiles Of A Summer Night: My next album and the official follow-up to Auteur. Originally scheduled for this summer, I pushed it back to work on a new sound and spend more time on Night Creatures. Cashmere Brown will be moving to NY in September to attend St. John’s University and he will be involved heavily on the production-side of this project. I’m looking to put it out late Spring/early Summer 2011.

We are also writing two other films, one of which will be coming in 2011 as well. Stay tuned for more details on those. As always, more music-related video content will trickle out throughout this release schedule. Thank you all for the support.
