The longest status I ever wrote and then turned into a blog post.

THE LONGEST STATUS AND MOST PERSONAL MESSAGE I EVER WROTE IN 2015 THAT YOU PROBABLY WON'T READ THAT I JUST DECIDED SHOULD BE A BLOG POST INSTEAD BECAUSE IT WAS SO LONG:

Tonight a friend of mine (who happens to ask for money on the streets) who I have fed in his time of need actually gave me money today to go buy some nuts and raisins because I told him I was hungry. He begged me to give me food saying that it would hurt his feelings if he couldn't repay me for what I did for him in the past. He told his other buddy who I was to him and remembered like it was yesterday the time I was there for him and how we ate good. The day I fed him and sat down and ate with him I actually didn't have the money to spare. We spoke and caught up on life's ups and downs and he taught me that "God and me and me and God are one" that day. That was what the little paper that hung from the yogi teabag we drank as we caught up on life. I put that little paper in my coat pocket and continued to lived my life only running into him every now and then as life went on. And we remained good friends. That coat that had the paper in it I donated a long time ago during Hurricane Sandy. I may not have a lot (practically nothing at all) and I may not be someones Knight in shining armor. But on a night like today I realized that I have a lot to give and my presence is worth something otherwise I wouldn't be alive. I give what I can and even though I know I don't have it all together. It may be a homeless person that is the one who gives me my last meal or I may end up homeless myself. Tonight was a wonderful night. But when I got home and on facebook I noticed people who I gave to over and over again still managed to sleep on me and treat me like I am not one of a kind. I will remember. I will never forget. Just like my homeless friend remembered how I made him feel . . .  worthy of my time, attention and love. I will remember others who make me feel that way when I am down and when I am out. Thank you to those that do treat me with love and honor my presence.

7 Reasons why becoming a member of Beat365 rocks.

As you already might know I go by the alias Undakova (Undercover) and I am beat maker, DJ and MC here in NYC. I have been producing hip hop beats since the 90s and have produced my own hip hop instrumentals for my album created here in New York City. I often get asked by R & B artist and MCs "Can you produce some beats for my album?" One day the question popped up in my head "Where does an artist find great sounding Hip hop, r&b and rap beats that sound so good you play them in your car for fun as well as record song after song with them?" If an artist doesn't have a friend or business partner who is a producer or know how to/ want to produce beats on there own spare time (which can take a lot of time and money) where does he/she find a complete collection of hip hop beats? Well the answer is simple. . . . To find Hip hop, r&b and rap beats that sound so good you play them in your car for fun as well as record song after song with them go to Beats365...

Can somebody say Amen

After a week of seeing different people come in our house and leave our house with smiles on there faces still our sublet process is not complete. I wake up today and meditate my stress's away. Well most of em. Yesterday I spent all day working on a proposal for a school in Washington heights who seem to be interested in having an after-school program formulated by my company Willpowa. Weeks went by and I spent my days working on music and completing songs in the studio only to leave the proposal writing up to a trusted friend and fellow mc. Suffice to say it never got completed due to my energy being scattered amongst recording and subleting my place. Not to mention being a good boyfriend through the process. So turns out my friends from the UK want to look over it this weekend so I will have to submit the proposal in a bit late anyhow but hopefully with more spunk than it had in the first place. Anyway lets just say the only thing that helped me from not having a nervous breakdow...
