Back in the 90's my buddy @ryansomers had a magazine called "IN SEARCH OF DIVINE STYLER," which along with being a kickass indie rap mag, was also an attempt to find our favorite memeber of the Rhyme Syndicate - Divine Styler. The magazine eventually found its way to Divine Styler and he came to Toronto with Bilal Bashir and Styles of Beyond.

Around the same time LEN took off, Styles released their first album "2000 Fold." Ryu, Tak, and Cheaphot from Styles of Beyond joined us on our American tour, and we have been good friends ever sense.

Today Ryu along with Apathy under the name "The Get Busy Commitee" have dropped their new album "UZI Does It." You can listen to the live stream here. Above is an interview I did with them for the reunion issue of "In Search of Divine Styler" Magazine which is coming soon.

The latest release of Bacchanalism, the album "Illusion" builds bridges across borders: borders of countries, cultures, minds and music-styles.
7 young musicians with roots in Haiti, Côte d'Ivoire and Switzerland teamed up, called themselves Crazy Boys Generation, or CBG, and mingled their musical backgrounds to create a unique style.
CBG was founded in 2006 in Geneva by the three friends Antoine Alouidor alias T-one, Joelby Jean alias Jlb Tafia, Yannick Dje alias Y.Dje. Owing to their enthusiasm, creativity and love for music, they were able to get more and more band members on board. Over the years not only the band, but also their fan-base grew, infected by CBG's verve and energy loaded performances at festivals and concerts in Switzerland and abroad.
Their style is truely one-of-a-kind: Haitian mizik rasin and rap fuse to rapsin, with Haitian drums, west African sounds and lyrics sung and rapped in French, Creole and English.
The producer Ted Gabriel Beaubrun alias TedyBoy, deriving from a musical family, stirred versatile cultural influences with great creativity and composed an array of fresh and innovative pieces for CBG's album "Illusion", released in 2009.
This energetic mixture of positive vibes, well-produced beats and intelligent lyrics will definitely make you listen to the voice of the Crazy Boys Generation!

It's not just an "illusion", it's straightforward reality!
Find the links to the download stores where you can purchase the album "Illusion" here, please.

Go and check out the Boys live at Festival Tambour Battant (Genève, Switzerland), November  28th, 2009.

Finger healing after cutting it last week carving a pumpkin. Watching Louis Theroux rap on the radio on Ye Olde MacBooke.

Experimenting with quick 'n' easy upload feature of iPhone app for Posterous.

Easiest meal in the world: microwaved garden burger patties with Sri Racha sauce.

Snail on a brick. Nice nautilus dude!

Dr. Dre is the name, I'm ahead of my game
Still, puffing my leafs, still with the beats
Still not loving police (Uh huh)
Still rock my khakis with a cuff and a crease
Still got love for the streets, repping 213
Still the beat bangs, still doing my thang
Since I left, ain't too much changed, still

"Calling all Appers, West Coast, East coast Appers... Gangsta Appers...
Worlwide Appers
This is the everyday story, of a Rapstar to an App Star. Here we go,
yo...

I tried to be a famous rapper 'cause I thought that's where the cash is,
But I couldn't keep it real it just felt like I was acting.
No illing and maxing, I was chillin and relaxing,
These Apps, and they got me distracted.

I played Flightplan(tm) its plane amazing, yo I loved it.
But my iphone landed in the bath and kinda snuffed it.
iFart(tm) was the bomb til I tried it under water,
Now I'm back on my old 2-way, got a 3GS on order.

With Foursquare(tm), I followed where Redman was headed,
And I battled him, well I tweeted him... I think he read it.
Biters beware: retweet my raps and get beheaded,
Rakim loves my technique, I gotta ping him - "don't sweat it".

Nas gonna be mad, Kelis will jock me for sure,
I'll get more game than The Game, I'll Amp Up Before I Score(tm)
I'm gonna kick in the door... Of my local Apple Store,
Rocking Biggie playlists, I got from Spotify(tm) before.

Yo this rap is like an invite, designed to get you psyched!
Now its time to go clock the App Star Award Site.
Get the jist of my rapping? You better get your App in,
By December 9th, 2009 -- its when it happens!!"
