Ashkon-Live at Rockwood

An ode to the Bay Area that features a loop from Men Without Hats' "Safety Dance (U.K. Remix)" masterfully flipped by Jimi Barrz, with additional mixing and engineering by me and my pseudo cousin, Lester Mendoza, A.K.A. Trakshun. This song was started years ago in LA and has seen many different incarnations....this is the final version. Turn it up. 

Bay Boy

Collaboration with one of the Bay Area's finest, my homey Equipto.  Produced by the impeccable, DJ Silly Kid. Scratches also by DJ Silly Kid.  If you listen close, you'll hear that he's making the "San Fran" sample say "San FranCISCO" with his scratches... dude is insane.

Another title run coming gonna enjoy
Been reppin dubs ever since I was a little boy
Pull up 25 footer count it 3 points 
warrior ground where they go to get destroyed 

We splashing we splashing we splashing we splashing 
all the all stars pulling up
Known to make some noise
Can Chase us outta Oakland can’t take our voice

You was talking shit in the beginning
Now the playoffs coming but your season ended 
I knew it piss em off to see us winning
That’s a thizz face ain’t nobody grinnin 

Draymond, Boogie, Klay Steph and KD
Best starting 5 that they ever gon see
Need more titles my pinky lonely 
But this one ain’t for Golden State This one for THE TOWN

Draymond, Boogie, Klay, Steph and KD
Iggy, Sean Q Cook and Looney 
Bogut left the Australian League
Had to come back out to Oakland win one for the Town

Everywhere I go
You can catch me on the block like I’m Manute Bol (rip)
Believing since Baron let Utah know 
Slam dunk pull your shirt up let your belly show

Back when we were still on the come up
Before the upper deck cost the big bucks
Pouring jim beam in my drink cup 
Stack Jack shooting at the...

Now it’s our time and we winning every year
Breaking hella records even haters gotta to stare
They try and disrespect us, tell us that it isn’t fair
they just crying cuz they jealous of that trophy in the air

Had a few parades but I want more now
Shots from the tunnel cuz we got bored now 
Smoking competition Don Nelly more loud
Strength in numbers three peat this one for the home crowd

Draymond, Boogie, Klay, Steph and KD
Best starting five that they ever gon see
Need more titles my pinky lonely 
But this one ain’t for Golden State This one for THE TOWN

Draymond, Boogie, Klay Steph and KD
Iggy Sean Q Cook and Looney 
Bell, Jerebko, Mckinny and Lee
Thank you for the memories, this one for the town

Wow. (Town Edition)

My take on TI's hit "Whatever You Like" complete with electric guitars and anthemic vocals.  One of my favorites of the remakes/remixes I've done.  Appeared on my 2009 project "The Showcase Mixtape" 

Whatever You Like (remix)

In 2010 I teamed up with Portal A productions and made a music video for a reinterpreted version of Journey's classic "Don't Stop Believing" rooting on the San Francisco Giants, who had just made the playoffs for the first time in 7 years.  The song and video went on to become a viral sensation as the Giants won their first world series in San Francisco.  Can't lie, I really enjoyed singing this song.  Hope to record some more power ballads in the future.

Don't Stop Believing (SF Giants 2010 Playoff Anthem)

Remix of Trinidad James's All Gold Everything in support of my San Francisco 49ers

Red and Gold Everything (Chopped and Screwed 49ers Remix)

This feel good, tongue-in-cheek, R&B, slow jam was my first viral video back in 2008. Produced by me and the homey Trakshun.  Song inspired by real life events. If you're from the Bay or Santa Cruz, you know what's up with this one... yadadamean???
