Architextual Design is finally here!

My good people. Two things.

1. This Tuesday, November 30th, my album 'Architextual Design' is coming out from Tru Ruts. This is my best foot forward as a solo artist. My first real, full length album. A concept album. An album about pyramids, family structure and the social, artistic and spritual foundations on which we stand. It's epic, it's funky, it's clever, it's bouncy, it's somber, it's introspective and it's party music. It's Architextual Design.

I produced and recorded the whole thing my self with help from friends and family. There's guest rappers, singers, beat makers and poets. I did the album design and I took the photos in Mexico.

Show love and download it. Share it with your friends and spread the word. This is the cultivation of my work as a human being to date.

2. Friday December 3rd, I'm celebrating it's release at Hell's Kitchen in Downtown Minneapolis. I have a killer line up, a bad ass dj, some video in the works and maybe I'll even have cd's for sale. Cross your fingers.

If you only come to one of my shows this year, this should be it.

$5. 18+. Parking ramp next door (cheap).

It wont be the same without you.

Hey folks, I wanted to share a few links with you and perhaps catch you up on some free music that I am immensely proud of. Take a listen and feel free to download this hard work (for free), and of course, share with anyone you think may dig it.

Here's the 3rd and latest track from my Boombox Emporium, a free monthly music series. Check out the two tracks from September and October, too. These are thoughtful, playful and carefully crafted tracks, not something thrown out to meet a quota of new material. Lot's more collabs and other goodies to come.

Next is my latest halloween music adventure. This is my first collaboration with Dameun strange as we unite to form "Strange Perspective". This is more Dia de los Muertos than Halloween and it jumps off of a Jazz Funeral concept. It's playful, smart and efficient.

In addition, and in closing, the 'Architextual Design' campaign is on and poppin'. My full length solo debut is revving at the gates for a 11.30.10 release and a wonderful show 12.03.10. featuring MAYDA, GUANTE, FRESH SQUEEZE, HEIDI BARTON STINK and THE RUBE. I can't tell you how great this will be, because it truly is something you'll need to experience yourself. I t just won't be the same without you.

Thanks and Love,

Pyramids remix!

"November’s installment of ‘See More Perspective’s Boombox Emporium’, an eclectic, monthly free music series, presents a spectacular remix of a Chicago underground classic. ‘Pyramids’ interweaves loose cultural allegories of See More’s Mexican heritage and its relationship to African history while drawing parallels to ancient civilizations and modern day hip hop. The inspired, electro-funky remix, featuring an upgraded chorus and a new verse, delves deeper into these multicultural undertones and brings out the idea of how hip hop and its practitioners are building cultural monuments for the ages. Just the kind of casual, big picture yet party appropriate philosophy you can expect from SEE MORE PERSPECTIVE. Ganzobean has been busy producing tracks for local legend Musab, touring with the likes of Abstract Rude and just released a free EP dedicated to Jack White."
