5 years ago I dropped an album called “Sixteen” that I released on my sons’ 16th birthday, only on a platform called Bandcamp. After I founded my nonprofit I had raised so much money through my personal Venmo and PayPal that they ended up banning me from using their services. Unfortunately, Bandcamp’s only payment option was through PayPal so I had to take the album offline. But I’ve been working with my boy @thedjzone to remaster and re-release the album this year.
Here is the intro song called Extra-Ordinary! Produced by my ace @5thsequence

13 years ago me and my guy @5thsequence dropped our very first music video and single together called “Third Eye’s Blind.” It’s off our full length album titled “Circadian Rhythms” which is available on all streaming platforms! Shooting this video with so many of the homies was a blast! Full video is on YouTube.

13 years ago, me and my partner in rhyme @5thsequence dropped this video for our single “Over & Over.” It’s off our full length album titled “Circadian Rhythms” which is available on all platforms. We got some international love for this one! If you love that golden era boom bap sound, you’ll love this project!

Solo Saturday Afternoon! Had to check some records and Jumbo on the 1s and 2s playing Vinyl at Living Häus Beer.
Thank you Jumbo, you are a Legend! I remember you helped me with my anthropology project in High School at Lincoln making a beat with samples from Didgeridoo sounds.
My rhymes and our track ironically called“Saturday Afternoon” with 5th Sequence:

/album/soul-assembly
Soul Assembly is a remix project connecting Portland’s contemporary beatmakers with Albina’s historic musician community. It is the first in a series of releases featuring music from Albina Music Trust’s archive: sampled, reimagined, and flipped.
Historically, Portland’s “Soul Assembly” was a 1968 program developed by the Black Student Union at Jefferson High School. In the wake of Martin Luther King Jr.’s assassination, the BSU responded to widespread racial tension in the community through a series of public presentations highlighting the cultural identity of Black Portlanders. These theatrical, music-driven assemblies toured in Portland Public Schools and public auditoriums in the City Of Portland, educating audiences with respect to the customs, pride, and creativity abounding in Albina’s Black community.

WHAT’S GOING ON #4BARFRIDAY MC’S 🗣. If you’ve been freestyling with us for a while we hope #YKWTII ⌚️!
Only right July’s been packed with heat, it’s the middle of summer time 🔥. We look forward to seeing how you’ll close out the month tomorrow 👀, but we can’t look over this talented 7/14 group:
One of our original spitters, @IAm.IV , set the tone and is joined by @Realityx10 , @ShellSneedMusic , & @5thSequence for being named the best MC’s of the 7/14 Challenge 🏆.
This Winner’s Circle group was well balanced. While Shell Sneed & IV smoked their beat selections, while Reality & 5th Sequence flexed on em’ acapella style 💪. In both cases, the bars were all there.
4BarFam its up to YOU to decide who had the best verse of the week. Drop either 1️⃣, 2️⃣, 3️⃣, or 4️⃣… LETS GO👇❗️
“There’s bound to be crossed boundaries, no lost crown to me. I learned to be different than the broken s**t surrounding me. First hand accounts agree, the rest are sound asleep 😴. About to meet whoever aligns with me at the mountain peak. Divine in my autonomy, he who cast shade spirals downwardly like black holes do in a galaxy 🌌. I stay above event, horizon, that’s where I been. Infinite I Am always in tune with the HIGH plan 🤲.”
It’s been a couple months since our guy @5thSequence dropped a #4BarFriday verse for us but he came back on point 👌. Did his thing with these acapella bars for the 7/14 Challenge.
You can count on 5th Sequence to spit bars promoting love, empowerment and positivity. It’s a fresh perspective as much of ‘mainstream’ hip-hop promotes the other side: violence, drug use and ‘beef’ to name a few.
Thoughts about this quick verse? Let us know by dropping either 🔥 or 🗑 below 👇❗️
