my current position

Good Evening Folks,


name: inspirmentalist
age: 24
occupation: pt time sales associates/aspiring producer
status: in relation with a beautiful woman named kimya


i know it's been a while but 2010 is definitely a great year. some minor bumps and bruises here and there but sooooo much better then 2009. 2009 i was very confused...about everything but we won't dread on that.

basically i lost my identity in that year but now it's a new year and i'm back.

the nimbus cloud lp will be dropping next month. i gotta start the recording process this week because i plan to drop it the next time i host an open mic which is october 16th.

you can check out the cover if your my friend on facebook. i'll post it in the blog post later, my friends laur and jess did a great job.

just giving you guys and gals an update for those who still read my blog.

Time Travel to tell Lauryn Hill about the fall of the industry and ending that andriod nicki minaj's reign of terror

Good Morning-Afternoon

July 12, 2010


If time travel was super-uber possible. i'd pull a future trunks and go back in time to meet with lauryn hill, give her some of my dope beats and make an album for the future that would crush weak femcees careers. (I.E. Nicki Minaj aja Android 25).

I know i know it sounds like i'm hating but her music....look i respect her as an individual but as an emcee...not even close.

she gives no hope to great female rappers and singers alike. she's not setting a good examples for girls who look up to her. i mean of course they never ever show a persons good side i'm sure she has donated to charities and all that good shit but....her music man..it's like...poison.

anyway....if i could time travel, i would tell her that, around the year 2007. an andriod named Nicki Minaj is born and she's suppose to be becoming the best femcee in the rap game...crushing all that stand in her way...IT'S HORRIBLE MS. HILL it's horrible.

lol that's my wishful thinking/daydream for today


peace and later dayz,

inspirmentalist

I know it's been a minute

Good Morning-Afternoon,




To all my blog readers:

What's up, What it is, Hello, Salutations, and all that.....




I'm working on my first lp and i'm very excited about dropping it this year. for those of you who follow me on twitter (twitter.com/inspirmentalist) or have heard my latest beat tape, you know that i'm dropping a project called The Nimbus Cloud. i call it The Nimbus Cloud because this musical journey will be sorta like how goku on Dragonball flys the nimbus around the dragonball world. it won't be your typical hip-hop project. it'll be a mix of emo-rap, easy-listening music, soul, a bit of jazz, things around that area. i don't have a specific drop date yet but i'm going to try to have it out before my 24th birthday which is in august. so sometime this summer.



In the mean time, i hope all of my followers, friends, fans, and listeners have been bumping all of my beat tapes. for those of you who have not had the chance to download and listen to them, i'll post them in this blog at the end.



Other then working on beats, writing lyrics and everything. i've been ok, i've been job hunting like crazy since i'm unfortunately broke and unemployed at the moment. it freaking sucks. i am however heading back to school this year so i'll probably end up broke again anyway lol. i plan on attending the Art Institute of Philadelphia for the Audio Production Program. i soooooo hope i get accepted, i wanna go to this school....badly.



and that's all people.





Peace and Lata Dayz,



-Mental

Valentine's Day...

Good Morning-Afternoon,

to whom may ever read this or be subscribed to my blog.


Valentine's Day? what did i do?....NOT A DAMN THING! lol


i just chilled, got a couple text messages from a couple girls i know.

i probably would have had spent it with someone but things didn't work out the way god planned.

to be honest, my mind state right now got me thinking that relationships are just stepping stones...until you find that one you call your own.

2 Project Goals: The Nimbus Cloud Mixtape/ Secluded Sounds & Scrolls

Good Morning-Afternoon,


I know i ain't drop a post in a minute but, to all my peoples/fans/supporters. i'm alive....
i've been through some struggles in 09. laid off, having to move back to my hometown where careers range from being in retail, the mall, or a fast-food joint. i realize that for 2010 i got to be a better person. i've made quite a few mistakes in my life and i realize i've learned a lot from them. i've said a lot of hurtful things to people, isolated myself, & pushed folks away. i'm dropping 2 projects this year....that's one of my main goals. whatever goals i decided to create they'll just have to come to me.


peace & later days,

-mental

Jobless....

Good Morning-Afternoon folks,


yea so i decided to quit my recent job because i can't focus at work. i decided i want to head back to school next spring and retake some courses i got d's in when i was attending devry.

yea yea, i got a degree already but one things for sure i want to get my certification in audio and in windows. so i gotta make that move and get my grades up.

it was probably not the best move to go work in retail after my 5 weeks of group therapy. but i got a little check coming in for x-mas shopping.

secluded sounds vol. 3 will be coming out on new years day, i promise to whoever maybe reading this right now. after this project an album will be dropping sometime in 2010.

2010 will be the year of great things, good beats, and glorious adventures.

the year of the Inspirmentalist

The Work World and Trying to find yourself

Good Afternoon-Evening,


ok...i just started working in retail again recently. due to a situation with a coworker from my previous job, that and the drive to work was annoying me. anywho, i'm at the point in my life where i'm just trying to get paid and i could give a damn about what people at work think of me or perceive me as. life: living in full effect. you have moments in your life whether it may effect you emotionally, physically, or mentally but no matter what you go through, you got to keep pushing. i can honestly say that i had a great childhood, sometimes i was a bit confused because i didn't understand the world and why everybody is so damn jumpy. i gotta admit in high school, i had phobias, i'm not gonna go into detail about what they are it's because of what i was taught and what i've experienced. i also had a very bad temper which is part of human nature. i'm trying to remain focused and chill especially in the work place, my coworkers can think whatever about me but they ain't live my life. i love my life right now and i'm comfortable where i'm at, i'm gonna keep pushing with my music no matter what happens.

peace and lata dayz,

basically i've been just enjoying life, i have my old room back from my child-teen years except the bed is bigger lol and it's comfortable. no more sleeping in my parents basement, i'm back at my grandmother's aka my 2nd mother.

and i'm not too far away from my mommy ^_^ i know i know i'm 23 yrs old and i'm a momma's and grandmomma's boy but i freaking love it.

1. i'm young
2. i got no kids
3. i got no serious responsibilities
4. i make music
5. i love being back home even though living on my own was ok.

shoutouts to all the bloggers i'm subscribed to...shoutouts to all my people who stop by to read my blog.


peace and lata dayz,

I'm so fucking emotional man....

know i gotta quit isolating myself but if you walked in my shoes, experienced my health...you feel like your a burden on your family.feel like throughout your life there was calamities.there were more good times that i try to remember then the bad.....freeze.

....yea i grew up with both my mom and my dad that shared different views on things...i guess that's just the way chemistry flows, but when your the son of a C.O. and a teacher assistant.i guess you gotta live your life with persistance but sometimes you wanna erase yourself from existence....

disregard that post about life and the world...

Good Morning-Afternoon,



i'm going through a lot of things spiritually....i don't know what it is. i didn't start feeling this way until i turned 23 and joined the sound ministry at my church. i know it sounds strange...

maybe it's my emotions...maybe it's the people in my life...maybe it's my experiences.


i know that god will get me through this...just gotta get praying.


Peace and Lata Dayz Folks,

Animated Heroes and young males

Good After-Afternoon,

i'm a nerd...i'll admit to that shit. Goku is my homie...i know it sounds kinda childish but my father didn't raise me. i was raised by my mother and grandmother. All i had to turn to when i was a kid was videogames, toys, and cartoons. my favorite anime of all time? Dragonball Z.

throughout my child-hood i looked up to goku...i had other favorite characters from the series too but Goku is the man. the thing about him is he came from another planet to earth. originally he was programmed to destroy the earth but after a bump to the head, he was a good person.

i guess in a sense what i'm trying to say is...i'm getting in touch with my spirit and in a way i relate to goku and his way.

-mental

p.s. i am in no way copying charles hamilton and his super-sonic philosophy.

I know, I know it's been a while

Good After-Afternoon,


Mental here... back on the blog tip.

first and foremost...new project out....Secluded Sounds Vol. 2

http://www.zshare.net/download/645594408abcc218/

Do yourself a favor and support a broke producer by downloading your free copy for your listening pleasure of SS vol. 2 Link right above.

Anyway, what's going on with me? hmm I'm working 5 days a week...afternoon to evening shift...gotta drive about 70 miles a day...round trip...i'm gonna try to make that change soon as possible cuz ole regina can't take the 360 miles a week (regina is my car).

more interesting things going on...just got a shit load of free vinyl. really no soul records most rock because i picked them up from some white guy who is possibly a racist but he didn't charge me for them so he was cool.

i'm living...just turned 23yrs old last august on the 15th so i'm feeling pretty good and i just started back to my martial arts training yesterday...gotta re-learn everything all over...starting from the beginning (white belt). my sifu (my teacher) really really really needed me to come back to train because he's a single parent now (R.I.P. to Barbara Hicks) and he's got kids he must take care of.

so basically to finish up the 09 strong, i'm gonna get back into my martial arts shape, drop a couple more free Beat Projects and try to get this J.O.B. Mixtape Done...i got 3 months left so.

wish me luck and i'll definitely be back on the blog tip more.


Peace & Lata Dayz,

Family....I'm Home

Good Evening-Nighty Night,



I know it's been a while peoples....just been through a lot these past few weeks.

one thing? got laid off....lol so the recession mixtape is coming soon.

for now, i'm staying with my dad and stepmom. helping take care of my little crib midgets (baby brother and baby sister)

really don't have any space to set up my equipment so i won't be making any new beats for a while so my listeners you guys will just have to wait. please be patient, once i get into a new spot mixtape will be dropping and i will be dropping another beat tape as well.

i was really stressing about moving back home but i'm actually getting use to it now...going to miss a lot of things


no more bars, no more college parties, no more corner store to walk to, no more late night rides to the arcade i use to go to....it sucks man but i guess i gotta do what i gotta do. *Sad face*

but i think this is just god giving me an opportunity to work on production a lot more and to meet people from surrounding areas. i am near philly btw so that's a good thing. hopefully i can take some audio engineering courses so i can intern at a studio.

other then that, i gotta find a day job soon so.....yea...need to help with groceries and utilities.


ill keep ya'll posted

peace and later days

I wanna go to space....drift away to a non-existance

Good Afternoon-Evening....


earth.....billions of people......me....1 human, 1 life to live, many dreams to follow.

Producer....Engineering....Photographer......mainly a producer.

i realize that life is short but honestly at this point in my life...i'm not in a hurry to get a placement....i mean i wanna get a placement sometime this year, even if it's something minor...but with how the industry is now? i gotta consider going overseas...maybe it's what o'mas keith from sa-ra said....maybe it's because i'm sick of radio and the cats that be telling me to check out they music on their page......the wackness.....

sometimes i feel like lauching myself into space.....away from life's problems...away from the bullshit...just me, an mpc, a turntable, some records, a mixer, and a laptop.

get away.....go away....so far away from....life.....no longer remaining b.davis or inspirmentalist or mental or B......


Z.E.K.E. = Zero Existance Kaotic Emptyness....my name is ZEKE


Truly Though

-mental

It's been a long time, i shouldn't had left you.

Good Evening, Good Night.



What have i been up to?....trying to escape the nine to five realm. and hoping and praying that my beats got to some industry heads. i know i know, i gotta put in work and quit slacking. i've just trying to survive...pay these loans, and try not to lose my head at work. i realize i need a second job in order to catch up on them so i applied to this little theater near my other job. hopefully i can work there a few days a week, get some extra doe.

looking to definitely get some new equipment. moving out of my room soon, probably to another double.

i know things don't come without hardwork, and a closed mouth never gets fed...but somebody out there gotta give me a chance working as an engineer...and i feel that i need to network with that right artist.


i just gotta keep reaching for the stars...and praying that somebody will appreciate my work...i wish i can be in the homie dame beats shoes right now.


peace and lata dayz folks

-mental

I don't know why i even try.....

Good Afternoon-Evening....



I know i haven't been by in a minute....i'm just at a stressful point in my life right now where i just wanna get the fuck out of working and get the fuck out of new jersey. i wish somebody would just give me a chance to work in a studio and understand that i will work hard and won't be a burden on anybody. i just wanna say, i like my co-workers, i like my office, but i hate our product and i hate the customers.

1) the latest hardware that my day job company has released. i get an average of 16 complaints per day and about 7 returns per day. why?...because the developers put useless shit in the program and the hardware company who makes the device put's useless buttons on the device thus confusing the shit out of the driver thus them complaining to my dept.

2) we short staffed so we get 100 of calls a day and it's always the same line from these idiot mother truckers "i've been on hold for x amount of minutes, blah blah" sir or madam just stfu and tell me your problem so that we can move on with our lives.

3) half of these truckers can barely read....why is society so retarded? it makes no sense.

i hope somebody from the industry downloaded my album and is replaying it over and over...i need to get out of this place..back into school and into a studio after school each and everyday...this 9 to 5 shit ain't me.


- peace and lata dayz and have a good weekend fols

I'm a shoe in for the march IStandard Producer Showcase so....

Good Evening- Good Night Peoples,

if your in the nj or nyc area around the week of march 18th...come out and support your boy Inspirmentalist that evening. I gotta sit down for the rest of the weekend and figure out which beats i wanna show to the judges of the industry. it's still a surprise to me until this wednesday's meeting.

as far as my Instrumental Ep is going...75 downloads...i appreciate the support from all my friends and family who may have downloaded my project. ya'll know who ya'll are and i love you guys! ^_^

let's keep the downloads going by pushing my link to other people....especially the true hip-hop heads http://www.zshare.net/download/55586247c349aa85/

Keep an eye out for my videos on youtube too...look me up..youtube.com/inspirmentalist


Peace and Lata Dayz

-mENTAL

If you haven't done so already...

Good Evening- Good Night,


Just to give my readers an update. my instrumental ep has been up on zshare since friday.

Secluded Sounds Vol. 1























if any of my readers downloaded this, i appreciate it. i need another favor though....
if you know any..and i mean any, lyricist(not a rapper.) Singer, Producer, Engineer, A&R,...give them a copy of this record. i would greatly appreciate it. they'll love it. i promise.

Regards,

Inspirmentalist aka Mental

p.s. just to give ya'll an update, i've been looking at a couple of school for production and engineering. also some internships as well. education has always been important to me, just as much as music. albums can get your fans, a deal, and a check but an education can expand your horizon and make you set for life...thank god a got and make both ^_^.

Peace and later dayz,

-Mental

What a day....

Good Evening-Good Night,

alk.....princeton, nj.....

i don't wanna be there more then 1 year.

i gotta escape the day job realm and i need help. i feel like time is wasting away very fast.
i know i stated this before in my other blogs but again, i don't belong in the corporate world....even though i don't gotta dress up for this job and it's laid back but i don't want to have to be on a schedule mon thru fri.

i'm doing everything i can to learn, create, and work at a studio. i'm emailing studios, seeing if they offer internships, i'm about to enter these producers competitions, and i'm going to attend this ascap conference in LA...

i'm looking to move out of jersey....i'm not making any type of networking progress here.

shout outs and wazzup to dame...i think he could actually help ya'll boy mental out if i get settled out there. i need him to be the jay-z to my kanye.

i'm willing to sacrifice whatever. time for sleep, QT with the fam and friends, giving away my beats for free.... all i want to do is create music that's all.

so...can ya'll help me?...i'm dropping my Instrumental cd on myspace this friday. if you like it...do me a favor and enjoy it...if you love it...enjoy and push it to anybody you know who's got connections with the industry. i want them to hear my work..(myspace.com/bdavisjr)

i'm not like these guys out here chasing money. i'm working for a goal, a passion in which i can put my heart, spirit, and mind into.

so please...help me in anyway you can.

take care,

-Mental
