Fun Fact
Kazakhstan’s Minister of Communications and Informatics has blocked the Tumblr site because it contained 60 sites of terrorism, extremism, and pornography in 2015.
i wanted to be a visual artist until a teacher told me i “couldn’t draw,” and that i should “focus on something else,” and for all she knew, there was a masterpiece inside of me. it’s something that, even with my crushed Basquait/Dalì dreams, i’ve never been quite able to shake. i always knew i wanted to make art - i went through a Fred Sanford/Harriet the Spy phase once - even when i didn’t know how. i used to escape into the neighborhood, convinced i was a Power Ranger, blithely unaware of the dangers i regularly placed myself into. see: even as a kiddo, i had a vision of the world i wished to exist in. and i always knew i had to create it.
i had been deliberating with how i wanted to dive into the recording of my EP, #FLESH, while keeping the process both accessible and mysterious. since my INTENTIONs were to dive into for the next three months, i decided to set them officially during this (October 2019) full moon. a common thing that has been surfacing throughout this process has been “how?” and hopefully, by sharing it, i can not only show what i’m working on, but express the inspiration for each song, the things that inspire me, and finally, the complete EP, an introductory opus, if you will.
for this project, i had to write, produce, and record myself. of course i’d like to have collaborators and their input, both creatively and intellectually - would be GREATLY appreciated it but after many many years of waiting for, depending on, and deferring to others, i think it’s time i show far better than i could ever tell. i created this and am writing this post, both to introduce you to the world of @iputahexxonyou and to hold the human behind the INTENTION accountable.

Iconic. 😞🙏🏾👑 #BlackExcellence #HighCulture #Repost @questlove ・・・ Dude. #AndreHarrell man. He gave you the best soundtracks of your life man and you didn’t even know it. We never gave him his flowers. He redefined the party! Def Jam was the artform. Bad Boy was the attitude Death Row was the muscle But without even knowing it? Uptown was ALWAYS the party. I’m sitting here going through my crates STUNNED at the amount of six degree to Andre records I’ve spun weekly on a regular basis for the last 35 years yo. The is a staggering loss. We never gave Andre Harrell his flowers. Name em: Al B Sure/Heavy D & The Boyz/Guy/. I mean mentoring Diddy alone brings in Jodeci/BIG/Mary J/Father MC/Christopher Williams—-and even in those names the success with THOSE artists come Missy/Timb/Neptune’s But let’s not stop there: first time we really paid attention to Halle Berry was in a Harrell film called Strictly Business Let’s throw “Candy Rain” in there or Lil Shawn’s “I Made Love”—-I may be dating myself but man Mgruff’s “Before We Start” got MUCH play round my way. Jeff Redd (who brought Blidge to the label) had a banger with “You Called And Told Me”—-“Touch It” from Monifah STILL bangs to this day. & back to Diddy, I’m absolutely w/o a doubt certain that he feels his success is also Harrell’s success so in a round about way there is no Bad Boy w/o Harrell. (Lemme also remember Daryl Chill Mitchell’s “Hip Hop’s Here To Stay” another classic uptown jawn. Horace Brown too..... Too Many Classics Let’s not forget NY Undercover & all the clever music moments in each ep. We never gave him his flowers. This isn’t even half of his achievements nor does this even bring to light the people’s lives he changed or his loved ones left behind. He literally introduced a new sound to the world (the first new jack swing projects were on Uptown)—-wait hold that——his label changed music TWICE because hip hop soul’s music picked up where New Jack left off and on the same label. Such a short time to paradigm shift music TWICE!!!!!!!! Damn man. We never gave him his flowers man. 😣 https://www.instagram.com/p/B_9hlrolcMq/?igshid=vhgp03lzsiml
