Do your thing…..2012!
To want. To be ambitious. To want to be successful is not enough. That’s just desire…

You see, even babies love great hip-hop music!!
Ozeal (6 p.m.)
Nominated In: Best Soul / Funk / R&B, Best Keyboards (Paul Viers), Best Miscellaneous Instrument (Isaac Munoz, saxophone)
It’s hard to believe that Ozeal doesn’t actually have an official release yet, though they are promising us an EP at the dawn of the next year. What we’ve managed to hear from them speaks of a band that maybe counts as hip-hop and maybe counts as funk. Trying to find a neat little box to shove them in is silly, because what Ozeal is really about is waking your body up for a good time. They combine the fun of the Roots with pure poetic flow and just a little bit of James Brown musk to make for a singularly fresh experience capable of funkifying the most un-funk situations. Paul Viers is also up for Best Keyboards, and while he’s not busting out complicated ivory riffs, he does more to set the mood than scented candles and a bearskin rug. Jef With One F
I’ve been checking out these hiphop cyphers for awhile but I gotta say…THIS ONE is the best I’ve ever seen! Every single one of these emcees killed it. And what we can say about EM? The guy is one of the best emcees ever! Sorry Lil Wayne. Eminem is on a whole different level. Don’t believe me. Check this out….

His story. His futuristic vision. His passion to innovate. His undeniable devotion to giving us the most amazing devices of technology ever. I remember watching his inspiring Stanford speech and being moved by his story. A true revolutionary and one of the greatest visionaries of our time. Steve Jobs. We will miss you.
First off,
I want to thank everybody on facebook for casting their nomination vote for the 2011 Houston Press Music Awards. My band mates and I really do appreciate your time and support. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
What an emotional roller coaster ride of a Tuesday I had. Exciting discoveries, an inspirational moment, shockingly sad news, and an over-welcomed sinus headache would be the best way to encapsulate my day. It’s 12:25am and I’m still trying to shake off this sinus headache and find focus to do some songwriting tonight.
Speaking of songwriting, it went down this past Monday at the Soultron HQ. In brevity, a new song emerged and it sounds amazing!! I wish I can find the right words to explain the vibe but it’s definitely different from anything we’ve done before. I think you guys will really dig this new sound and we’re really looking forward to sharing it with you soon.
The new song is titled “Lover’s Roulette” It’s about emotional gambling and flirting with the inquisitiveness of love. What can I say? It’s a topic that surfaces when I get in that kind of mood. A conversation, a generous gesture, or possibly a smile from a complete stranger. All inspire to write poetry.
Ok folks, that’s it for now. I gotta get back to writing. Let’s hope I win this battle over Mr Sinus Pressure!!! Boxing gloves on. Ding Ding….
Good night,
Ozeal
