12 DAYS OF REDEMPTION

LORIN CHRISTOPHER

It has been a crazy week. My house has almost turned into a recording studio and record label. Lorin Christopher, one of my musical co workers for a few years now was sentenced to a year in prison and was released on a conditional bond for 12 days to attend his mom's funeral and settle any family business. The week has been full of ups and downs because as you know funerals usually cause drama and I am dealing with the one year anniversary of my mom's death which happened to be the day before Lorin's mom's funeral. There has been a lot of raw emotion but we have done some research and this is something we are pretty much calling creative destruction...

It is pretty hard to get someone out of the county jail for 12 days when they are held without bond but we pulled it off. We have been working on a 7 track LP, titled Lorin Christopher - L2...We have done 5 professional photo shoots with camp member Chrisp, and gotten together a marketing plan for his music so we will have everything we need to push his music while he is locked up. He is going to snail mail us blogs to post and tweets. We are going to run with the whole thing and it should get interesting. We have a pretty resourceful camp so this should be a test to see how far we can really take something when the artist himself is behind bars.

Stay Tuned!

Lost and Found.

The High & Mighty


These guys were heavy hitters in the indie hip hop scene in the late 90s out of Philly, and were one of the premier artists on the well-known Rawkus Records roster, which was known for launching careers for: Mos Def, Talib Kweli, and Eminem. The High & Mighty's track "B-Boy Document 99" made big noise, even making it to a Tony Hawk video game soundtrack. I remember somewhere in between they started the group Smut Peddlers with Cage but a beef came about and they disbanded. I am pretty sure if Eminem did not catch the break he did, these guys would be where he is but that is a tough call since they seemed to enjoy the indie scene. I have done all sorts of searching but cannot find anything...Where are they???
