I know, I know......

I haven't tried blogging anything for the best 2 to 3 weeks. Brotha was busy trying to focus on some things. Here's a few things, I've been up to.....

1) WUMBC at College Park, MD. had me on their radio show for a segment called Third Rail. Shoutouts to Christian Baer for having me on. Alongside, Mental Stamina or Rosetta Stoned and The Five One Band. here's the link to my performance. One part my mic goes out but don't worry, all part of the show. LOL. You'll know when I'm coming in. 

Third Rail with Ardamus, Mental Stamina of Rosetta Stoned, and The Five One.

2) Got some love from Judah's blog. shoutouts to him.

For The DMV Only

3) I figured instead of just making it about me. I'll make more of an effort to just post cool shit up here. I don't always have something to show. I'm always creating but I don't always have it ready to show.

4) I signed up on the Beat Society website with some instrumentals. 

Ardamus On Beat Society

5) I finally got the retail version of "When Nothing Goes Right" pressed up. If you want a copy, get at me on ardamus1979@gmail.com. Or you can wait til its out on CD Baby.

Until next time.......

So, I've gotten featured on a few things.

At some point, I won't make this shit about me. Feeling a bit self-centered. But for now, Here's some love from some folks that hooked me up. Shoutouts to DJ Heat.

A first timer to DC Mumbo Sauce. Check out his album and single:

This is my debut album entitled "When Nothing Goes Right". It features production by myself, D-Cyde (aka Doug Lazy), Young Raven, and Mind-U-Mental.

I've gotten some spins on XM Satellite Radio on Sirius XM's Suboniq show that comes on Sunday Nights on Hip Hop Nation (channel 67) and overseas airplay at Royalty Radio thru my homiegirl, Pay, .

Got some other business going on but later for that. Don't want to jinx it. Just know that I'm working. Peace.

Lets start this off right.

I figured it out. Every New Year that comes around, I have to do one thing. I have to watch Indiana Jones and The Temple Of Doom for some reason. Or at least part of it. I think one New Year's Day I was into it and its stuck with me ever since. Not sure if its superstition or not. But its on my mind every year. Weird, right? 2008 wasn't bad. Album was dropped. Got some good reviews. Got to rock a show in L.A. 

Anyways, didn't feel like blogging til I had some music to contribute. I finally decided I'd work on a mixtape. I'm usually against the whole thing but its free'd my style up some more. Thinking about naming after this blog. We'll see. But for now here's a snippet over Obie Trice's "Cry Now". Enjoy!

Cry Now so-called "freestyle"
