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!!!

The L.A. Experience

Akon and Precise

To be honest everything that happened I expected to happen. I was not sure how or when it would happen, I just knew it would.

My faith is growing more and more everyday. My trip to L.A. has served as a confirmation that anything can happen and will happen if you just believe.

A goal of mine for the last few years has been to get to the Grammys in any capacity. I would like to be nominated but what I understand now more than ever is that one has to be where the action is. It makes sense for any Artist to be in the city of Arts and Entertainment.

My plan was real simple...pass out cards meet people.

My adventure starts in Beverly Hills on Rodeo Drive. One thing I can say about Rodeo Drive is that it truly inspires a person to Get Money. The Ralph Lauren store was my favorite.

After visiting a few stores me and my lady decide to get something to eat. We go to Panini Cafe. As we walk in I immediately recognize a group of black people sitting at a table.....uhhhh..WE STAND OUT in Beverly Hills...lol.

Ultimately I go over and introduce myself to the table of people who look like me just to find out one of them is Anthony Hamilton....three time Grammy Nominee... Anthony Hamilton. He was extremely humble and approachable. We exchanged information and my trip was officially ON!


So then.....we head over to the W Hotel on Hollywood and Vine for a luncheon where Questlove from The Roots was the Dj. It was a real cool vibe. I link up with Dj Kmax of CTA Radio and I took some time out to chat with Phonte and Yazarah of Foreign Exchange. Foreign Exchange's song "Daykeeper" was nominated for a Grammy. It's a pretty amazing accomplishment considering that Nicolay and Phonte met online and they are for all intensive purposes an independent group.


****FLASHBACK****..A few days before I got to L.A. I was speaking with a friend of mine about some tracks I just got and how I wanted Mos Def to sing the hook on one of them. My friend then told me that its not a matter of me wanting it its a matter of me asking. Mos Def and MF Doom were scheduled to do a show in Chicago the weekend I would be in LA, so I asked my friend to get Mos Def's info for me. <------ ****Remember This****.

Ok back to L.A......So many parties are going on... Hassahn Phenomenon a Chicago artist who has been in L.A. for the past ten years scooped me up and we meet up with Dj Kmax at The Roots Jam Session at the Key Club on Sunset. The funny thing about L.A. is you really have no idea who you are going to run into. For instance as we walk in I turn around and I see "Frazier" ...lol...I mean Kelsey Grammer standing behind me...then I turn right and George Lopez is standing next to me.. and yes I GIVE THEM MY CARD.

Anyway.... as I walk into the Artist Lounge I meet and greet everybody from Estelle to John Legend to Slash from Guns and Roses.

It starts getting a bit crowded on the inside so I decide to go outside and mingle a bit. I meet a few artists from around the globe and I am getting more and more excited about these new connections. At that moment I start thinking about the Mos Def/MF Doom show that was going on in the Chi and I was wondering if my friend was going to be able to get Mos Def's info.....no sooner than I have this thought.. I look up and Mos Def is standing right in front of me....WOW...Of course I seize the opportunity..I let him know about the song I wanted him to be on and we exchanged information.


For some reason the show did not happen in Chicago and ultimately it was to my benefit because I am one step closer to doing a song with one of my favorite artists.

I actually could go on and on about the experiences I had on this trip but I would be typing for a while...for real.

Overall this experience was Re-Energizing, Eye-Opening and Inspirational.

I look forward to what the Future holds having faith and trust that the best is RIGHT HERE!
