JKING & PWISH - READY

¡Hola, como estas! haha I know, I know- it's definitely been some time since my last release, but this should let you know I haven't forgotten about YOU, and that I appreciate your patience. FOREAL.

I typically do NOT unofficially remix another artists' work (let alone remix another remix) unless I'm feelin' it THAT much- but in this case, the vibe was right and I really enjoyed Eric Bellinger's rendition, as well as the original record by Kent Jones. I honestly could not help but put everything else aside to create this. Another BIG reason for the remix (to the remix) is to showcase my ability to hang with a Top 40 songwriter- who is Eric Bellinger, and also a Top 40 artist such as Kent Jones; All while representing where I'm from #UTAH, which is who I dedicate this T-MiX to. All my #UTAHANS.

I'm very proud of where I reside as it is a big part of who I am as an artist. And I don't take pride in that just because I was raised here, but because it's also the most UNLIKELY of places for someone like me, a Hip-Hop/R&B songwriter and first generation #Polynesian-American, to be successful in the music industry. 

Anyway, the last time I did something like this was with Drake's "Girls Love Beyonce", and that record came out nearly 2 years ago! 2016 has been a much slower year for me, but the plan is to turn that around starting with this record.  (I'm done ranting). THANK YOU, FRIENDS! More coming SOON. TRUST.

Hi Grade

Welcome yet again to another DARK HORSE/KELEGii presentation. Glad you’ve decided to take the time to stop by. Whatever influence; the universe, the secret, higher intelligence, luck- possibilities are many, but whatever it was that brought you here, I’m grateful nonetheless. Whatever it was that brought you here, I’m confident that it was not in vain.

Tonight, I have a record that’s backed by the most unlikely story of any one I’ve worked on before. It’s actually pretty funny, so make sure you’re sitting down when you read this.. It’s not that funny, but have a seat anyway because it’s long haha..

Typically, I get a good amount of correspondence each day, in different forms. The amount is not too overwhelming, but it’s not just a few either. Here and there I get inquiries about collaborations, but for one reason or another, they don’t always pan out. In fact, most of them only become so much as a thought before they dissipate into the air from whence they came. In this particular case, with Mann One, it was the exact opposite. Mann resides half way across the world on the continent of Australia, but because of the internet, lucky stars and drunk confidence, he was able to connect with me. YES, my friends, you read right- my dude was tipsy when he sent me the snippet that begot this whole song haha.. 

He had sent me a video of his recording session and even through that recording, I could sense right away that the song was ALREADY a great one, even without me. From there, I immediately hit him back to let him know that I was interested. Now, after a lil’ bit of time & work on the song, here we are with its release.

Because of where I’m from (UTAH), I tend to forget just how big the world is. Just when I thought I had a grasp on it, I’m corrected by reality, and in this case, reality is that I have brethren at a great distance doin’ exactly what I’m doin’. Mann and I are both of Polynesian (Tongan) descent, but outside of that, he and I are worlds apart in more ways than just distance. With this specific joint, I was hoping to find a balance between both worlds by countering his delivery, which is in our native tongue, by gettin’ at it the way I would get at any other record- but still compliment his take at the same time. This was our result. As an artist that strives to be versatile, I’m hoping that this song shows just that, the pride I have in my ethnicity and in my country (USA).

It was a fun record to create to- and I believe it’s the FiRST of its kind for me. Mann One went all the way in on the song, so it was only right that I meet him on the same level. And again, #KELEGii came through with the amazing artwork- very grateful to have the uso in my corner. That goes for YOU as well, listener. I’ll have another one for you not too long following this release, so please stay with me as you have. ’Til then, my friends. UP n’ UP!

Segment II:

Congratulations! Your being here means that you liked the first track of the Dark Horse Double, and are now engaging in the listening of the second and final record.  So I'm glad you're here. Thank you for that.

This time around, I wanted to try something different. Instead of playin' it safe with just a single, I decided to go with a 2-song release. I have many shelved records, but I've found that releasing singles don't leave much room for any of 'em to be unappreciated or unnoticed. I put countless hours into these 3-4 minute songs, and I feel they're better received and even better understood when released one at a time.

People frequently ask if I'm goin' to release an album anytime soon. TRUTH is I have enough of my own music to make up a FEW albums, but I've grown very fond of my current process. Not only that, it's been doin' quite well for me these recent years- so why fix what ain't broken? Maybe I will release an album, maybe I won't. The luxury of being independent (which I know I'm overbearing with the fact, but frankly I don't give a shit) is that I do what I want, when I want & how I want. I pride myself in that freedom. Everybody wanna sign (their life away) to a label because they don't wanna get the work done themselves. I actually do this, NOT just look like it- that's more than what a lot of fellow "artists" can say. More than likely your favorite one.

The reason I bring these points up is because they play a big roll in what you're hearing. "You Get It All", as well as every one of my other songs that you've heard, are brief insights to who I am and what I experience- and of course they're mingled with bits of imagination & creativity. The good, the bad & the ugly, transparent in all my work. The more hands that may become involved with MY music, the more MY music loses its credence, substance and rawness- and I won't have that.

More onto the song itself, the "You Get It All" concept is based on a one-sided relationship. Mind you, all relationships are one-sided at one point or another (least that's what I believe haha)- there's a lot of give & take, as they say. Throughout the song you'll hear that I'm takin' shots at my woman, but I thought it was only right to twist it up towards the end. Even left an unintentional freestyle in the damn thang haha.

That is all for now, my people. I continue to do what I love because of your support. I'm flawed in many ways, but you definitely got a toko stuck in his own grandeur at times, which is not good for the fire, but feels good regardless. Thank you and BLESSAWP 10FOLD.

You Get It All
