Get Excited!!!!

I am so EXCITED right NOW. The walls are coming down and I can see the prize right in front of me. All I have to do is grab it.

For those of you who do not know me...My name is Precise. I am an emcee/producer/songwriter/blogger/journalist. My mission is to use these God given gifts for the betterment of society and the preservation of this culture called Hip Hop.

Now...back to why I am so EXCITED!!!! I just got added to the roster of QMediaNation blog "Where Independent Media Lives" This is an independent international blog with strong ties to Japanese, European and African markets. This opens up so many doors and gives an independent artist like myself the ability to communicate with the world outside of the confines of the US. I want to say thank you to Falana for considering me for this opportunity. I am extremely grateful and appreciative. Lets Change The World.


.......Another reason I am so EXCITED!! is because of the amazing Growth of Evening Sessions. Evening Sessions "A Journey Into Art and Sound" is a weekly event held a The Living Room in Chicago. Evening Sessions is the brain Child of Just Flo and Uneq'ka two amazingly talented individuals. Just Flo is a visual artist, singer and emcee. Uneq'ka is an amazing songstress, songwriter and musician.

A few months back they asked me to be involved with Evening Sessions as a resident artist. It has been so fulfilling to see how the hard work of Just Flo and Uneq'ka has created such a strong team in JustFm and a viable outlet for Chicago artists. It truly is the place to be. I look forward to it every week. If you are in Chicago or ever come to Chicago this is an event you must attend. The Renaissance Live and In Person. At The Living Room 1100 W Cermak in Chicago, IL. Check The Commercial Below.......




Now....another reason why I'm so EXCITED!! Hennessey Artistry made its stop in Chicago last weekend and it was OFF THE CHAIN!!!! This is the second installment since last year and it is curated by Questlove of The Roots. When I went last year I had a great time met a lot of people and made many connections. This year was no different. I even had the opportunity to grace the red carpet with the Likes of QTip, Erykah Badu, The Roots , BlackThought and DNice. The Roots are an amazing band. Qtip and Black Thought joined forces to do covers of NWA to Main Source and ATCQ classic Electric Relaxation.

While that was happening I went back stage and ran into Erykah Badu right before she surprised Chicago with her presence. She performed a rendition of "The Healer" that is unforgettable. What an AWESOME night.






Hennessey Artistry was a bit more involved this year and included panels that enlisted the services of many Chicago Industry "movers and shakers" Most notably Hustle Simmons . I had the opportunity to be involved with Hustlepalooza last year at SXSW and it is great to see Hustle getting the shine he deserves. Make sure to follow him on twitter....he drops jewels.


Yet another reason to get EXCITED!!! ..... My song GO! produced by NS BEAT PROZ is getting placed EVERYWHERE most recently Dj Kenny Mo and Dj Jenny J's mixtape for Coast2Coast Mixtape Dj's called "Northern Exposure: From The North + East The South + West Volume 1" Soon to be released check the artwork below....






This is only the beginning and I anticipate great things happening. I appreciate those of you who have been on this journey with me thus far, and welcome to those of you who have just joined. WE ARE CHANGING THE WORLD!!!


Stay Focused, Positive and Productive

SXSW 2010 Precise @ The Light Bar Hustle Palooza ....and..NOSAS With Saul Williams and Precise March 27 @ The Kinetic Playground

SXSW 2010 was BANANAS!!!! Music was Everywhere. This was my first trip to SXSW. Everyone I asked about it told me if I had never been there before that it would be overwhelming.....They were right.

My initial excitement from this trip was because I got booked for Hustle Palooza. Shout Out to Hustle Simmons.....A week before we went down to Austin me and Dj Kmax mapped out our itinerary... the shows we were going to see and the parties we were going to and most importantly who was serving free drinks and food.... HA HA...we found em.

We hit the Fader Fort in Austin with Pugs Atomz and Simeon of The Prime Meridian we get our badges (the badges allowed us to come back and forth to The Fader Fort and drink free Southern Comfort(SOCO) and Budwiser)...we went back many times...lol..Not to mention the fact that The Fader Fort is where most of the major performances are held.

....Anyway we get our badges and hit the infamous 6th street. Austin really has an off beat vibe...the slogan is "Keep Austin Weird". For all intensive purposes its kinda weird. An Austin local told me Austin is considered weird because they are a Liberal State in the midst of Conservative Texas.

...6th street is where many of the bars are and most bands perform along this strip. When I say music is everywhere....I mean it is everywhere. Walking down the street is like jumping in and out of dimensions every five steps. You hear everything from Country Western to Hip Hop and you gravitate towards what you like. If you are really in tune it will take you a while just to get down one block.

The fact that the performances are live is really what makes this trip worth your while. You really get to see great performances. A few of my favorites were Cubic Zirconia, Dam Funk, Kid Sister, Ayah, Mic Terror and the DJ Set with Stones Throw.

I wanna take the time a tell you everything that happened, but over the course of four days I would be writing a book...so I will provide my top 5 SXSW Moments

#5. Hearing Cubic Zirconia Live for The first time.
#4. Watching Kid Sister and Blah Blah Blah perform and rep Chicago.
#3. Walking to Whole Foods with Nneka
#2. Getting a hug from Jean Grae....WOOOOO!!!...lol
#1. Ripping the stage at Hustle Palooza.

God is so GREAT...and this trip has cemented the fact that I am moving in the right direction. Follow your dream and you will fulfill your purpose. The movement is growing.....Check The performance at The Light Bar below......

March IS ON!!!

I can feel the universe lining up. So much has been happening. God has given us the gift of faith and the universe is available to all of us. I know this.


March has been and will continue to be a busy month for me."Saturday Night Pheature" with P1 at the Music Lounge in Logan Square kicked the month off. It was a great show and I felt myself go into a zone. I was truly in the moment, and it felt surreal.

**Praise Break**...The night of the "Saturday Night Pheature" I was driving down the Kennedy and heard something pop by my left tire and it started to shake vigorously. I told myself I would go do the show and drive home as carefully as possible. Nothing was going to stop me. I make it to the show and home safely. Sooooooo....I took my car to the mechanic and he looks at me and says.. "I'm surprised your breaks didn't go out"...My calibrator (whatever that is) was off and could have broken at any moment leaving me without breaks...but it didn't break. It should have but it didn't. God is AMAZING...and is truly a refuge for all of us! THANK YOU THANK YOU...I am so GRATEFUL!!!.....

Ok...Back to March...its a busy month so far...Im headed to Austin Texas for South By Southwest..(SXSW). Its one of the largest music festivals every year and I got booked for a show On March 20 @ The LightBar...I am so excited....



When I return from Austin...I will be performing at "A Night Of Sight and Sound" with Saul Williams, Lethal Poetry, Malik Yusef and Aja Monet at The Kinetic Playground..partial proceeds will go to Rock For Kids





The movement is GROWING and PROSPERING....My Album "It's On Me" is coming soon...MARCH ON!!!

Stay Focused, Positive and Productive
