Keysha links with the legendary Doug E Fresh (gotta do a UBX on him soon!) and Mims for visuals to her first single “Hollywood Fresh”.
Nice.
SIDEBAR:
This video actually dropped a couple months ago but we never got notification on its release. If I hadn’t seen a clip of it in the Droppin Dymes interview I posted earlier, and then put two and two together, it would’ve been another local video we might have missed (smh). I’m definitely not trying to single out any one artist cuz this happens all the time but this post (along with all those others) inspired the following rant.

You’re invited to check out the lead single “It’s So Hot” off my upcoming solo album The Pyramid Scheme. Please feel free to post on your blog and share with your readers. Your feedback & support is truly appreciated.
The song features my vocals & production alongside fun-times Capitan, Greg Nice of the legendary Nice & Smooth, and mySheen Bros compadre Cosmo Baker on the cuts. It’s a prime time party record that’ll leave dudes sweaty and girls ready.
(For those wondering, it’s the same sample used in the Flowchild/Obie/Rich Kidd “Change Ya” joint).
First time taking the kid in.. the whole Drake piggy back thing had me completely turned off but his flow, tone and cadence are there, just needs more fine tuning.

“I used to roll with big crews and crave stardom… that sh*t will leave you lonelier than Eve in the Garden…”
Words are Power. Eternia takes this truth to heart in Pt. 3 of the “QUEENS CHRONICLES” Series, presented by YEAH! Films & photographer Jason Matos. Not only a glimpse into the streets of Astoria, Pt. 3 also provides a revealing look into the mind and heart of Eternia herself, via her words & DJ Boo’s percussion. Don’t miss the final installment of the series!
NOTE: Quality on these ^^ files are 192 & 204 (204?! never knew there was such a thing, lol).
I asked them to send over better quality files, so discerning heads check back later for a potential upgrade.
UPDATE: Files have all been changed to 320! Shouts to The Showboiz on the quick hit back!
And while we’re on the topic of mp3s:
SIDEBAR:
ARTISTS/PRODUCERS/MANAGERS – 320 bit rate is the standard. There’s no excuse for anything less.
It costs nothing extra to convert your files to a higher bit rate (and by convert I don’t mean taking a 192 mp3 and making it a 320.. that’s a serious no, no.. you’re only making the quality worse.. you should always convert mp3s from an uncompressed format like wav or aiff). You may think it’s all the same when you’re bumping it in your ipod, but trust me, when a deejay’s playing a weak 192 mp3 next a 320 – there’s a NOTICEABLE difference.
Don’t take the factors you actually have the ability to work in your favor for granted.
New D-Sisive = new reasons to love him for his candidness about rap life, lol…
(is that Warren Beatty in the pic?!!)
If Andre 3000 wrote his own press release, you’d…Naah. Too obvious. Unless you haven’t heard ‘If…’. Then not obvious at all. But once you hear it..so obvious. Fu*k it.
It’s 7:06 am. I’m sitting on my sofa, struggling to write a ‘proper’ press release for my new singles. I’m also monitoring my cat Willy’s recent detox from wet food. He’s sweating. Climbing the walls. It’s hard to be funny when your cat is calling you a ‘piece of sh*t.’
I tried to start with the city I’m from, followed by cheap adjectives. Toronto. Prolific. Alternative. White. Rapper.
Rappers always refer to their new songs as ‘Smash Hits’ even though nobody has heard them. Even though nobody will ever hear them.
“I’m taking over this year!” That’s a good one.
2 new singles, produced by Muneshine, off of my new album, also produced by Muneshine. My new album, which will be my last album released under the ‘D-Sisive’ monocle. Moniker.
Sorry if I confuse you with so much new music. It can be very confusing.
Sing me a swan song.
