umhmm

Back in 2002, I recorded an entire album called 9 Situations in 3 days. Some of you have heard it, but I'm guessing most haven't. It sounds pretty good, considering it's 11 years old! Here's a heartbroken ass song from it, lol.

What kind of name is Joeypresents and who the hell is this character anyway? Well…whoever he is and wherever he's from, Mr. Joeypresents is officially the WINNER of the "Don't Think" remix contest. CONGRATS, Sir Joeypresents!  You can check out all the remixes at http://tinyurl.com/DontThinkRemixContest

Choosing a winner was not easy for us. There were over 70 remix entries and many of them were strong contenders for the #1 spot. After much deliberation, No Bird Sing and Sage Francis decided that Joeypresents' overall composition, mix and musicality earned him the blue ribbon. There are many honorable mentions to be sure, but a special shout out goes to Dilly Dilly as she was the only producer who made it into everyone's "top 3" list. What ultimately kept Dilly away from the top slot may have been the sound/EQ of the mix, but what we most enjoy about it is the original vocals she added to the project. There were in fact a few people who probably could have probably won this contest with a better overall mix. We can't be too nit-picky as we understand there was a relatively short amount of time for people to bang this remix out, but having a better EQ and overall mix should be kept in mind for future contests.  

In addition to the official SFR winner, we had announced that the person who receives the most votes at www.tinyurl.com/DontThinkRemixContest would win the "popular vote" trophy. That honor goes to Moxe of Spain who not only put an electro/danceclub twist to the song but must have put on a hell of a campaign as he got more than double the votes of anyone else. Joeypresents didn't receive a single public vote, which I find interesting to note. Haha. Funny how that works out. Alas, big ups to Moxe for being able to rally so many fans. 

Lastly, we want to reiterate how agonizing this whole process. There's a ton of talent out there, people from many different states and countries who deserve recognition for their work, so we're going to leave these remixes up unless it is requested by the producer to take them down. Additionally, feel free to put the music up on your own youtube and soundcloud pages. Thank you all for helping us lose sleep this weekend.

Oh, wait, can't forget why we decided to do this remix contest in the first place…
No Bird Sing's "Definition Sickness" album drops on November 12th. Pre-sale deals are at www.tinyurl.com/DefinitionSickness

Congrats once again to Joeypresents, Dilly Dilly, and Moxe.

STRAAAAAAANGE FAMOUS!

Tom Hardison & Kno unroll a new joint for the first time since 2010's "Around I Go" & "Rhythm Of The Rain" with "Rolled Up". Produced by Kno.

Rolled up, we already rolled up
We already rolled up, we already rolled up
We already told the whole globe just hold up
Lighters in the air for the fighters & the soldiers
Coughin up a lung put the fire to the Folgers
Back up in your face with some fire for your folders
WinZip'n listeners gettin stricken with Ebola
Kids trippin over facts we already told em
Last year, year before we already showed em
We already showed em
I already showed you that I'm capable
Unmistakable style, entity irreplaceable
Untraceable face, blunts'll stay away from you
Daily ritual, making magic's what I was made to do
Everyday, back shootin in the gym every day
Tired of making small change, time to be a heavyweight
Time to be a heavyweight? Big Girl calendar
Punch-Out, lend me an ear like Evander
Hand her, over for a 30 minute ride
If she 30 minutes late I probably shift the stick aside
And told her suck a dick and die
Might make us crash
Too worried bout the past 
The present won't be as bad as
Long as you change what you need to change
Quit reminiscing on how things'll never be the same
Cus they never will and they never should
I'm never goin back in time 
I love myself and I got something good
Rolled up
We already rolled up
We already told the whole globe just hold up
Lighters in the air for the fighters & the soldiers
Coughin up a lung put the fire to the Folgers
Back up in your face with some fire for your folders
WinZip'n listeners gettin stricken with Ebola
Kids trippin over facts we already told em
Last year, year before we already showed em
We already showed em
We already

Where the Weeds have Grown [VIDEO IN DESCRIPTION]

Disgustful,
Infiltrate the scene with a buss full,
we be on them schemes cuz the pockets aint enough full,
the phones for contacts but dont trust no contracts,
and keep yourself around the ones you think will have your back,
Curtain twitching looking out the window sitting itching for a bitch and sniffing shit and then reciting writtens,
I let the doggys live but i bite the kitten,
are you that hungry kids - seems every thing you write was bitten,
the paranoia can destroy ya but it keeps you safe,
deploying down like paratroopers quick there is no time to waste,
i see that grin on your face but now the smiles erased,
out of your comfort zone and now your in a vile place,
The crime rate escalates as the days go - On,
but your not getting strap unless i say so as - Long,
as you get the fucking doe out when your meant to,
then its all good and ill make sure the shit gets sent through,
So get it out my rents due,
I've got something round a million mother fucking sins but ill only repent 2,
the 1st is stealing from my people of the working class,
the 2nd is not sticking my dick in every single birds ass,
Ask around you'll hear fuck all of me,
and its ironic that thats the way that i need it to be,
from the city where the 2lt bottles cream in - they're called fuckits,
and if  your drunk well then your steaming,
watch the lock throw it down like its irish ebonics,
and when he's cooking up a beat gotta cherish electronics,
with the drunk kids always trying to start shit,
catch a beating like a packed spliff your taking hard hits,
regardless I'm as harmless as sum dud Es,
the kid is melted but best happy with new guddies,
Over obsessive see the words as weapons keep on stepping forward see the knowledge as an item that i keep collecting,
blows think they're hard as fucklike an erection
but step into the ring and get boxed like selection

Its like fuck all the bloonz cuz I'm only being half assed anyway,
I could make it any day  (X4)
 ;)

Devine Carama is a nationally renowned, 2022 Emmy Award-winning hip-hop artist, author, educator, community activist, & motivational speaker from Lexington, KY. He was most recently featured on Good Morning America and the Jennifer Hudson Show after a video of him teaching emotional intelligence to young boys went viral. He is the new director of the Mayor of Lexington's youth gun violence reduction program, ONE Lexington, which has launched several new initiatives in its first 2 years under his direction. 2023 saw a considerable drop in homicides and shootings in Lexington and that progress continues in 2024. Devine is also the founder and director of a youth-focused nonprofit organization called Believing In Forever Inc. 
In December 2018, Devine performed outside in the cold for 48 hours straight to raise awareness for his annual youth coat drive, "A Coat to Keep The Cold Away". Over the last 10 years, Believing in Forever has facilitated the collection and delivery of over 22,000 coats to children in Central and Eastern Kentucky. In 2017, Believing In Forever led a citywide effort to collect thousands of gallons of water to combat the Flint water crisis. In 2020, Devine walked across the entire state of Kentucky (Pikeville to Paducah) to raise voter awareness. 
Other Believing in Forever initiatives include Sons Of Single Mothers Mentoring Days, Senior Summer Jam,  "A Coat to Keep The Cold Away" Youth Coat Drive, Community On The Corners, Poetry In Motion Youth, & Quarantine Care Packages (during the pandemic) more! In 2020, he started “The Luna Library” in memory of his late daughter, Kamaria Spaulding, which provides FREE black history/character-focused books for children within the Lexington area. To date, the Luna Library has given away nearly 1,500 books to local children of all ages and is a featured collection at the Lexington Public Library's Northside Branch. Devine is also featured at the University of Kentucky, where he teaches a course called “Lyricism & Leadership: Hip-Hop & Community Change”.
Musically, Devine has worked with and/or opened up for acts such as Rakim, Big KRIT, J. Cole, Talib Kweli, Nappy Roots, LL Cool J, Black Eyed Peas, Canibus, De La Soul, Little Brother, & many more. His music has been covered in major music publications like The Source, Vibe, & Complex Magazine. In 2010, Devine became the first rap artist to ever perform at the historical Lyric Theatre. Most recently, Devine was the first 2-time winner of NBA All-Star, Dame Lillard’s “Live Cypher” Rap Contest. Devine is also a 5-time “Lexington Hip Hop Artist of The Year” award winner. 
In 2020, Carama brought black girls and women together (middle school, high school, and college) to create an album called “The Black Girl Project”, which focused on the journey of maturation for black girls coming of age in a society that doesn’t always value them. Devine’s intersection of hip hop, education, and activism continued in 2023 when he collaborated with professors at the University of Kentucky and Rutgers University who were doing a fatherhood study analyzing the disenfranchisement many fathers feel in the justice system. Devine collaborated with longtime producer, JK-47, and R&B artist, Bryce Jamel, to create a song called “Invisible Father” which artistically brought to life the data in that study. Later that year, Devine did a 1-week residency at one of Kentucky’s most prestigious higher ed institutions, Centre College, where he taught classes, lectured on social justice, hosted a student open mic, and performed 2 shows on campus.
