Brendon Starr

I cyah lie but Michael Jordan's Hall of Fame acceptance speech has to be one the most empowering, inspiring and real things I've ever listened to. Yeah he was a bit obnoxious; he called out past opponents and coaches on the various times when they made his life hard and/or doubted him but what's more real than that and also said "there is not 'I' in team but an 'I' in win. Still, his main point was preserved which is, when people try to pull you down, channel it into your success. Feed off that hate yo!

And talking bout success, today I'm featuring a very talented Trinidad rapper here who goes by the name of Brendon Starr. He has a free mixtape up called "The Set-Up" (check it here) which is not only a super-bargain in these recession times for the price of free but a good listen either way. The delivery, flow and heart is there along with his beat selection so trust me when I say you will enjoy this one. Remember the name people, Brendon Starr, and check out that mixtape and spread it right through Trinidad. Face out.

Roxii - A female rapper making waves

Yo ppl, waz de scene. Today I have something for allyuh that in Trinidad is not the norm and most times unexpected - unlike the budget. I want to introduce for allyuh or rather re-introduce local female rapper extraordinaire Roxii. If you have been following up on my blog though, you may notice that Roxii was on the third edition of my Underground Trini Freestyles feature and handled herself like a champion with ppl saying she even rough me up on de mic (daz how tings does go sometimes).

All that aside, she has a new single to promote dese days called "Ghetto Cry" which you can listen to here. Additionally, she is going to be a guest on a local hip hop show called "The Rapture" between 4pm and 5pm this Sunday on 94.1fm Boom Champions so make sure and listen out for Roxii live. If you didn't know, Roxii is part of the rap association of Trinidad aka RAPA which doing big tings this year with many more ginormous tings to come. So support mih girl, doh stick. Face out.

Hitchhiker's Guide to Uwi...coming soon

Yo ppl, Face here. It's been too long since I blogged, between getting my mixtape Recession Music out and finishing my album, so I will apologise but let allyuh know to expect real stuff out in September. As we speak, the mixtape "Recession Music" is on sale right now for $20TT so you can hit me up @ 7663443 for a copy.

Other than that, Hitchiker's Guide to Uwi is still coming early September. I have purposely kept a veil of secrecy over this album but I can promise you that it's going to be one of the strangest and best album you have heard from a local artiste in years. At its most obvious, this album is going to be the first ever based on the topic of uwi and one of the few concept albums coming out of Trinidad with all the crazy concepts and wicked lyricism dat you can expect from Da Face. So look for it in September and keep your eyes peeled on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/ArtisteDaFace) for more details.

And in the meantime, just listen to some of my previous releases. I have a special remix for "Raining Shots" for the album but you won't hear a word from me about that till later. Trust me though, it big. Face out.
