To some this may be random, to some it may be a shock, to some it may be another meaningless thing I say, to some it may make you say it is about time: I have come to the decision of working on me as an artist. The reason is because I feel I need to finally put myself first. A lot of hot songs have come out because of my production and I don't feel the love is what it is supposed to be. So I am sticking to my core. My core knows who they are, so they are good. A lot of my music I record gets looked over on a constant by my peers, dj's, and others and I am sick of it. I am honestly a bit frustrated about some things, but no one ever me handed me anything in life without me earning it. Its time I show people I'm just as good an artist as my peers are. Although I don't compete, I do know I am capable of doing so. I still will not compete, but just know that my greatness will not be proclaimed and promoted by me. The announcement won't be a big deal to anyone but me. No one cares. Everyone has a blog and a Twitter and a Myspace Facebook or whatever now, so things are not taken as serious as they should be if youre not popular and have a following of people who will publicize your every move on the internet. This is not a tirade or a caps lock filled blog, this is how I feel and I am sticking to it. Im glad I am showing maturity as well writing this because had this been a year or two ago, I would have went on a profanity laced tirade and been visibly upset along with violent. But upset I am not. I just know what has to be done and could care less about anyone's feelings now. The real people will stand out and stick with me, and the fake will be forgotten.
Honestly, music upsets me at times. There is no reason another state should be showing me more love than my state. I am very appreciative that I can reach other states, but I would expect my city to show love first. I have shows, and even my closest people don't show up. I go out to other people's events, and when I have something, they are nowhere to be found. That is in general. Parties, shows, whatever. I get that general text that says come out and have a good time with us, but when I send you a text like that its annoying. Come on. Please. If you can do it, why cant I? This is just a glimpse of the things that irk me and kind of upset me though. The rest will be revealed at the right time. Peace.

Announcement Regarding My Music
Wednesday, October 7, 2009
WOW.
I have not been doing any personal blogs in a while because I have been busy doing music, and all the other things I do. Or at least try to do. Today I uploaded Purple Pain to That Crack's website, just to get it out you know? Then when I got home, I decided to check the numbers. 1,164 downloads in less than 24 hours, and that brings the project close to 2,000 total. I had to wipe my eyes and refresh the page! I could not believe it. I'm still in denial lol! I actually cried a few hours ago because of this personal success. It is crazy to me, and I don't feel that the road has even officially started yet...
I never really anticipated much in my life because I was always told I cant for the most part. I got shot down when it came to a lot of my "dreams", and when it came to music especially. Music was the only thing I felt I was at least halfway decent at. I tried basketball and realized the closest I'd get to playing alongside NBA superstars was creating myself in the video games. So, I channeled my energy into music. I thank my pops for introducing me to the people who put me on about how to make beats without having expensive equipment or a keyboard. I don't know how I became good at it. I also thank my mother for allowing me to have a relationship with my father even though he was not there when I was younger for me at all. If it wasn't for them, I would not be here making music. I would also like to thank my grandmother because she helped me keep my head up when I was down, and still does to this day. Everyone who supported is important to me, but these 3 are my integral pieces.
Just looking at this situation makes me glad that I have humbled myself and continue to do so. I have a few kinks and flaws to work out still, but I am glad that I carry myself the way I do. I have no reason to change because being myself is working. I feel I went from being worried about "being the man" to being a man. I feel I went from someone who was laughed at to someone you can laugh with. Music has made me grow up and look at life differently. There are still some things I cannot grasp and will make mistakes or react in a way I shouldn't at the time, but I am still learning how to deal with issues, my anger, and people who do not want to see someone prosper. I have came a very long way with my anger though in so little time. I used to think that life was from Broadway to Ralph Ave., and that the only news that mattered was what was going on where I physically was. Music played a very big part in reassuring me that was not the case, as well as help me deal with my anger and issues I encounter. I thank God for giving me this gift that I still cant believe has been given to me, of all people. I will remain to be appreciative and humble. Thank you all.

About The VMA's
Hey guys,
I am back. It has been a while. I decided to type this blog because I know ever since I was younger that there was always an uproar the next morning after awards on who should and shouldn't have won. In the case of the VMA's, I would like people to realize something. That contest is a numbers game. Yes, the Video Music Awards is a numbers game and a POPularity contest. Why do I say that? Because every artist who won sold records and are household names. Example: The Best New Artist is Lady Gaga. (Her fellow nominees were 30H!3, Asher Roth, Drake, and Kid Cudi). Lady Gaga sold over 3 million copies worldwide of her debut, The Fame. 30H!3 sold about 300,000 copies. Asher Roth sold about 150,000 copies. Although Drake and Kid Cudi have big internet and mixtape buzzes along with appearing on other artists albums, they have yet to come out with official debut material (Both are releasing their official debuts on September 15th). Lady Gaga wins by numbers.
Second example: Best Female Video. Taylor Swift sold 4 million records. Lady Gaga sold 3 million. Katy Perry sold 2.5 million copies. Kelly Clarkson sold a little over a million. Pink sold 1.2 million copies. Taylor Swift wins.
I am not doing this to shoot MTV down or anything, I am just being realistic. MTV is the center stage for America. It gives America what it wants. Viacom owns all three major music networks (BET, VH1, MTV). Each network has its core audience. The BET demographic is for urban audiences. The VH1 demographic (except for the reality shows) is for older audiences. The MTV demographic is for everyone. MTV is the melting pot for the music networks. Basically the demographic the musician appeals to, is the network they will be upheld and featured on, and MTV signifies that you made it.

Im Sorry People, I Have Been Busy
Whats good y'all? Haven't forgotten about y'all, but I have been making moves otherwise. I have finally started the Kwan Lee Network. You can go check that out here. I have also been pushing my music more. It is not easy to do everything I do myself. I am currently seeking management because I feel I am at that next step. For people to actually dig my music is real dope! That being said, I have to make it up to you guys that check out the site on a frequent. You know I have some videos to put up soon. I have switched the style up as far as that goes too. I love my Youtube, but Vimeo has an advantage. No time limit.... More on that soon

Repost from Kandyyams
I was on Kandy's blog and i read this...
How Come You Didn't Want To Be A Doctor?
I'm ALL for self promotion, but I wonder if these same people realize that the music industry isn't the same anymore. You can't just be "nice on the mic" anymore. You have to have that buzz about you that can't be denied. Nowadays, A & R's are looking for the people that have the internet going crazy. Why? Because the internet has become the source of all media. Record companies aren't willing to take that chance on those that don't have that buzz going on already.
People aren't going out and buying albums as much as they used to in the earlier days. Why else would it be a big deal when Weezy sold 1 million albums in his first week? People were shocked because an artist hadn't done that in a long time. And to top it off, his album got leaked from here to Iraq, so doing those numbers was a great accomplishment.
Back in the 90's during the Bad Boy, Deathrow, Def Jam era, if an artist was signed, they were forced on us, making us go out and buy their albums. It was never a question who was going to go platinum and who wasn't because in those times, every artist did numbers.
Now-we're in the era of "make up a dance and tell people how to do it in the song" on a nice beat. Yes, I'm talking about the Souljaboy's, the GS Boyz, and the B Hamp's. A new, fun song is all fine and dandy, but when that's what your whole album is based on, I'm less likely to support your career. I appreciate artists that have the skill to put words together to make me think about the deep stuff. I appreciate the actual skill of it all.
The "Up and comers" are trying not to go that route, but without it, they are going to struggle with getting a deal. And there's the "Catch 22".
Not only that, but the overall appearance of these "up and comers" are not quite up to par. Diddy made Big Mike lose weight (he could stand to lose about 50 more pounds) back when he was still trying to make the band. A record company is not going to risk throwing their money into someone that isn't appealing to the public.
With all that said, I ask, "how come these guys never wanted to be a doctor or lawyer?"
Im sure I know the answer to this question. Its the same reason why I didn't want to be a doctor or lawyer: because studying Radio Broadcasting was cheaper. I do have a passion to do radio, but I have no plans on limiting myself (that's another blog post).
No, I'm not an A&R, but I definitely could be. I have a musical talent and I have the ear. And some people just need other hobbies.
I know these up and comers have the passion to do music, but I fear they don't understand its gonna take a lot more than being "nice on the mic". They have to do shows, youtube themselves, make their own little street teams and flood their neighboorhood with their music. Sending links to Diddy via Twitter (or any celebs on Twitter for that matter) is just not going to work.
And like my second father Ed Lover once said, "rapping aint for everybody".
But maybe I'm the only one who feels like this.

Vacation...
I don't know who's watching Kwan Lee TV or not, but I'm taking a break from all the side projects I'm doing to focus more on music. In a month I put out 9 official episodes. It was supposed to be once a week haha! I'm not abandoning it, because I think it is a great idea. Especially now when I found out that World Star charges for exposure and I'm doing it for free...
This recession is gonna break a lot of us, but at the same time its gonna make a lot of us. As I'm listening to a beat I'm going to do for Purple Pain (yeah I'm gonna have to do a solo). I didn't want to because my raps aren't that great to me. I wanted to feature my production because I'm known for that more than I'm know for rapping lol.
Stay tuned man. I'm focusing back on the music so hopefully some good comes out of that.

Don't Think I Abandoned The Website...
What's going on guys? I haven't wrote anything up here in a while. I've been busy doing videos and doing the Kwan Lee TV episodes. Mind you I do this mostly myself. So its kind of hard to multitask. I have another site I'm running as well. That's blockaholic.ning.com.
I have no blog team or no video crew so its like I'm a one man band when it comes to posting things and stuff. I'm gonna keep in touch though and start writing more blogs on my sidekick though. Belei dat....
For now, I hope you guys are enjoying what I am posting on the site. I appreciate the fact that people take time out of their day to sit and watch the site. Purple Pain will be finalized as soon as Elus gets the studio back up and running. Its about 80% done! I'm excited man. I can't believe people are hearing my music and like it. It amazes me...
A lot of good things have been happening with this music so fast. Its like a blur. And friday was a memory I will never forget. I was at my man Sean Conn's house for a lil get together and Sweet Tee (a pioneer of hip-hop for women) came though. I let her hear the beat I sampled her song in. She's like that's dope, what record is that? In my mind I'm like, you gotta be kidding me. So I said take a guess. She still didn't know. I told her it was her record. She was like wowwwwww. She digged it. And possibly wanted to get on the record! WOWWWWWWWWW! To meet someone who's music I sampled and she digs it is amazing! Hopefully that goes well....
I'm about to go shoot this video though. its gonna be up tonight! I'm out this mug, peace!

The MTA Is Buggin!!!
So I'm at work getting ready to leave and I see the news on. Just got word that the MTA is increasing fares again. Like 2 dollars wasn't already enough....
Here are the rates:
One way fare: $2.50
One week unlimited: $31.00
One month unlimited: $103.00
I don't remember the exact numbers for toll, lirr, and the express bus, but I know they went up as well...
I'm thinking to myself, why all these increases? I thought public transit was for reducing pollution in the air. It seems like I'm polluting their pockets with money. Things are not getting beter. Milk is $4.00, bread is almost $5.00, cigarettes and beer have turned into luxury, its real crazy out here. Let's not even talk about rent....
The average American my age is living check by check. And imagine if they have kids. Along with living on their own. Its hard out here for us and we are the richest country in the world.
People swim for days and walk through deserts just to experience the "land of opportunity." Its not the 80's anymore. The game is over. Wall Street has been knocked down with a financial sledgehammer, and instead of us having flying cars like the movies that came out when we were kids portrayed, it is looking more like the wasteland in Mad Max everyday.
Plain and simple people. SMH

Tried to go on an e-vacation, but...
Yeah I tried to go on a vacation from the internet. Didn't go as planned. With me working on the team's new website (blockaholic.ning.com), its been time consuming. In my short 40 something hours off, I still managed to make music though. Still was on my twiter though!!!
I still am falling back a bit though. Need some real personal time. Haven't been spending as much time as I want to with shorty. So I'm gonna do more of that.
On another note though, I may be hosting Elus's On With The Show Volume 3. Hope that goes through..... that would be a good look. Check out the homie elus at www.signmycheck.com!
I'm out. Ill be back. Peace!!!

What's Been Going On In The Past Couple Of Days With Me.
As the readers know, I threw a tantrum late Thursday night. I was livid about not being able to perform at the China Club and even more livid that no one even tried to come out (some people got a pass from me). As I'm walking to the train station that night, this bouncer from the strip club asks me can he buy a cigarette from him. Something told me to just give him one. I did, and he got me into the strip club for free.
So i go in there, looking at the dancers and all that, when an idea striked my head. Why dont I ask the DJ if he could play my song? I did, and he showed love. I wasn't expecting that at all. To top that off, the strippers start vibin to my shit. Then the dudes in the club start vibin to my shit. Im like WOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW! These people dont know who I am or what the song is, but they are vibin! So u know I had to walk around like yeah I made that. I got a lot of props. Then the stripper who danced to it named GiGi was like she liked the song and I need to come back with it to give to the DJ.... Havent been back yet though. You already know how that goes as far as having a wifey is concerned. But this is another opportunity for me!
In addition to that, I finally finished my tatoo. Well the first one at least. I got the king and the crown done at Manny's Tattoos (75-10 Jamaica Ave. Woodhaven Ny, 11421). If you go there, ask for Manny. He has great prices! Gonna get the team name on my arm soon!

I WAS SUPPOSED TO PERFORMING AT THE CHINA CLUB BUT I COULDN'T GET THE NECESSARY PEOPLE REQUIRED FOR ME TO GET ON STAGE (35 PEOPLE. AND 90% OF THEM I ASKED HAD A BULLSHIT EXCUSE)! SOME PEOPLE GOT PASSES, BUT ALL OTHERS, NIGGAS DON'T SUPPORT MY SHIT. BUT WANNA RUN ME DOWN ASKIN ME IF I'M COMIN TO THEY SHIT.
I'M LOOKING AT THESE PERFORMANCES RIGHT NOW AS WE SPEAK, AND EVERYBODY TALKIN THE SAME THING. HOW THE FUCK YOU TALKING HUSTLIN ON THE STRIP ALONG WITH 99 OTHER NIGGAS? ALL OF YALL AINT GETTIN MONEY. I'M SICK OF THE PHONY RAPS. GETTIN MONEY AND U STILL IN YA MOMS HOUSE ASKIN HER FOR METROCARD FARE. SMFH.
WAIT TILL I FUCKIN GET ON. EITHER PRODUCTION WISE (WHICH IS LOOKING MORE LIKELY) OR RAPPIN I'M GONNA PROVE THAT I FUCKIN BELONG IN THE UPPER ESCHELANT. I KNOW I GOT IT, I JUST NEED SOMEONE TO SHOW THE MUSIC WORLD I DO!

I Can't Auto-Tune Elus!
So I'm in the crib today playing around and I have an idea. How would Elus sound Auto-Tuned? I already experimented with my vocals and a sample of Mala's and they came out good, so why not?
I did my trademark smirk and I got to work. I did the glory days song we did together. I auto-tuned the home Heat, came out good. Me on Auto-Tune sounds cool for some reason (its like a mix of Ron Browz, 50, and Kanye, sweet).
Then I get to Elus. No robotic sound or a hint of one. Damn. I tweak some settings (his voice is deeper than t-pain's). No avail. I try to turn up the pitch. No can do. I am stunned. I even went as far as putting Mary J Blige on the Auto-Tune (hint) and it came out great.
So I closed up everything and hit the big homie Elus up letting him know he can't be Auto-Tuned (that flow is unique yall, powerful!). He still has it on his away message lol!
This Shit Is Fustrating Sometimes
You see that picture up there? Thats what i feel like doing right now! Screaming. Why? Because I feel like I'm supposed to be at a further place in my life right now. Dont get me wrong im not ungrateful, complaining or anything, but AARGH! Shit is going in a cycle. For real. Example: I'm trying to perform tonight at a great venue, and instead of being selfish, I tried to put the team on. THEY DONT WANNA DO IT! LIKE WHAT THE FUCK! NOTHING IS HANDED TO PEOPLE UNLESS YOU GOT A CONNECT! THE RECORD DEAL IS NOT GONNA FALL IN YOUR LAP. YOU HAVE TO WORK FOR IT!!!!! SHIT!
Damn why couldn't life still be like this:

Happy Valentine's Day
Happy Valentine's day to everybody! I hope everyone is having fun in some sort of way. If you're bunned up, congrats. If not, its not the end of the world.
I spent a lot of Valentines days as a teenager alone. Trust. I seen dudes in high school go all out, but that wasn't me. But this year, I got my girl by my side. I love her. I don't need a gift from her because she is a gift to me.
Its crazy everytime I think about how we met. We met right around this time 2 years ago. I remember it down to the place she was sitting. I didn't think she would like me, or even talk to me. Never thought she would be my girlfriend. And now look lol! Things happen for a reason I gues..

What's Up With The Beauty Of The Week?
I tried to do this thing to big up women and make them feel good about themselves on the website. However, a lot of females be frontin! I'm not asking them to send me any naked pics or even photoshop them on naked bodies!
All I'm trying to do is promote. Put people on in a sense. I don't know who's checking out the website and may be like "Oh, that girl looks good let me contact Kwan so I could get her information."
I'm trying to give anyone who wants to get on and is trying to work at making a better life for themselves a shot. There are a lot of beautiful women jobless or have jobs and want to live a better life, and all I'm trying to do is help them do that. And I don't discriminate as far as size or color goes. The only rule I have is that you must be over 18!
So if you're out there, and you think you have what it takes to do so, please contact me. Kwanlee347@gmail.com

Hit me up and from there we can talk business...

I Think Rap Is Going To Recover
For the past couple of years, hip-hop being dead has been a hot topic. I personally think a lot of gimmicks and beef killed it. At one point beef was in your promotion plan, and you had to be a big-time hustler to sell records.
Those days are dead. Beef keeps those beef records spinning, but when the quality of the other music accompanied with it sucks, then what? If your hottest song is a "fuck this rapper" record, what happens when that beef dies down? You're the guy in the hood with what eventually turns to the old benz and a gold piece that represents the era you were relevant in.
Don't get it confused with the rap pioneers who built this game though. I always respect what they did and some are still doing. I'm not talking about them. I'm talking about these dudes who was sellin massive mixtapes in 03 and now they promotin parties or something frontin like their bread long.
When it comes to gimmicks, there is so much to talk about. I'm gonna simplify it. This cb4 type bullshit that's been going on for years has fucked up the game. You're talking that cocaine cowboys talk when you've never stood on a street corner unless you were waiting for the bus. Talking bout you're a killer when the biggest gun you've ever seen is the one the cops carry when you callin them on your neighbors because you weren't invited to the party. SMH
We're gonna breathe life back into this game because we real!

Nah, XXL Mag Didn't Say That
I am a fan of good music. If it isnt good, i dont listen to it. XXL mag did a reveiw of this mixtape. They called Theophilus London a nutcase. With all the bullshit they have co signed over the years (Meoshe Jeans, fake Jordans on Soulja Boy, those advertisements in the back), you would think for once that they would know good music. Ovbiously they dont. Listen for yourself and you determine what it is.
I personally like it because its different. Ive seen Mr. London perform and he has energy. He always has a great set. The beats have me going crazy. My favorite beat on there is Aquamilitia, but the song I like the best is Always Love U. The first time I saw him perform that, I was dying because he took a girl out of the crowd and danced with her. This is something everyone can listen to. Its on my iPod right now with that list of Kanye, Pharell, and Christian Rich.
So without further ado, Download: This Charming Mixtape
Listen to one of my favorite songs on the mixtape:

Speakin My Muthafuckin Mind
I think its really time I started being visible. Being invisible is cool, but sometimes I just wanna pop out and be like what's poppin! I'm on some new shit to others, old shit to me. Fuck it. Conforming to the bullshit is not working for me. Keeping it a hunnid when I black out is not enough. Me being reserved is dead. Because it has gotten me little. Time to be seen for a minute then fade to black again. I have more wisdom now and I really feel like its my time and those along with me!
Gotta shout out NYSD for launching B+C Magazine. They did it. Me being in the magazine is a long shot, because I don't think I meet the criteria lol. I'm not famous enough yet. Don't think for a second I'm not a head nod or a handshake away from it though.
I'm about to fuck this secret society shit up, because its fucking up the game. Wait, it has already. A dude like me gotta take mine because its not gonna be given to me. I've been doing it my whole life. Only thing I was ever handed was a bullshit story. A whole bunch of that was good but's. A whole lot of that's aights. Numerous look overs and politics because of who I was. But it reared me to be the person I am today. I learned from youth not to depend on anyone. I'm going in how I came out. Alone.
You think this shit gonna make me stop though? Hell no! I gotta keep moving no matter what most of these people think. For every person that hate me, there's 5 who don't. Trust.

My Philoshopies
These are the 20 philosophies I have lived by since I was 15. That was the year i really grew up and started seeing things a lot different. I will follow these rules for the rest of my life no matter how far i go and how successful I become.

3. Think with your head and not your heart.
4. Things aren't always how you want them to be
5. One persons pains can be someones deepest pleasures.
6. Seeking to fill a void will always make another void.
7. Hiding your pain can seem like a mask to those who relate.
8. The pursuit of happiness has many roadblocks.
9. Weakness can be seen in a persons greatest strengths.
10. Happiness is an inner and outer feeling.
11. What you don't know won't hurt you, but curiosity will kill you.
12. Love is like life. It can expire at any moment.
13. Jealousy envy and hate can be closest to you, and you not know it.
14. Life is what you make it, but some people have control over a lot
of peoples lives.
15. The devil comes in all forms, even yourself and your ways.
16. Lust can lead to complication
17. There is no such thing as being secure.
18. People that don't understand, try to mask it
19. Greed can lead to trouble.
20. Being brought back to reality can help.
