One of my followers on Twitter made this & I thought it was pretty entertaining. Enjoy!

But then when I mentioned to her that I used to love Monopoly (which I truly did DO) she had absolutely NO idea what I was talking about & why I’d mention this little “fun fact” to her. I felt like I was in an episode of The Twilight Zone.

Robert Akins III – Exeunt (Mixtape)

•April 3, 2012 • Leave a Comment

Here is a self-produced, self-mixed, self-conceptualized (aka 88-Keys had absolutely 0 INPUT on this project) mixtape from one of my five artists Robert Akins III. He dropped this on his 19th birthday March 31, 2012.

Wish him a happy (belated) birthday via Twitter & download/share his mixtape with your friends & ex-girlfriends/ex-boyfriends. Listen here & you’ll hear why I’ve nicknamed him: Young Jedi Akins

So, while you all await the material that WE do together (he’s crashing at my crib for the next 3+ weeks & we’re going to my studio The Polo Grounds every weekday working) y’all could feast on this tender morsel. This shit DOPE! Enjoy!

Shouts:

  • Thank you Ms. Ursula Akins for having such strong faith in your baby boy & personally hand delivering him to me here in Harlem, NY. He is in good hands… & (with our hard efforts) he WILL be buying you that Mercedes Benz. ;) Oh & thank you for doing my daughters’ hair when my wife was in Italy because I sure as Hell didn’t know what to do with it. I’d have sent my daughters to school looking like Pippi Longstockings for SURE.
  • Young Jedi Akins, thanks for being inCREDible & signing to my label Locksmith Music. Now… Let’s start making history. Oh & you’re sitting right across from me & just asked me about Facebook. Dude… I know NOTHING about Facebook. Sorry.

Horny Dudes

Here are two-thirds of my new horn section I met randomly in the subway of NYC. They’re ill & local! The trombonists (Jimmy O’Connell) literally lives about 3 blocks away from me… #score🙌

Expect to hear some fresh-ass horns on my upcoming productions. Enjoy!
