Blog #3: Upcoming Projects for 2008

What's good, folks?

It's been a crazy day, but I'ma let you know what I got cookin' up in the lab:

As you know, none of the songs that are on my MySpace will be on my upcoming mixtape, but don't worry.

  • Expect The Great American Paper Chase on February 19th
  • Also, I will begin work with my follow-up mixtape Raw Material hosted by Mick Boogie.
  • I have 2 collaborative mixtapes in my plans as well. One of them is featuring Canadian MC and all around homeboy GDup. The tape will be called Nashville, Ontario. The other
    mixtape will be featuring my homeboy from the Bronx, Vithym. Expect our boy, fellow Bronx MC Black Magic to be heavily involved in this currently untitled tape.
  • Aside from the collaborative mixtapes, There will be a collective mixtape from my group Fresh City. The currently untitled mixtape will finally hit the streets. My ace boon koons KDV, The Prophet, Mario and I are looking for a summer release.
  • The Family is also coming together for a collective trifecta of mixtapes. First, there's the 2-disc Theory of Relativity collection. Disc one will be The Orphanage with strictly solo cuts between each member; thus, Disc two will be Family Matters with collaborations between the Fam. Expect that any day now. Also, Mark II is dropping a V-Day Invasion, which is a collection of love songs by the Family. Expect that on Valentines Day.
  • Finally, I plan on beginning work on two EP's, one aptly titled The 8-Track and an untitled thirteen-track EP with my homeboy from DC, Lannie.
2008 looks like a pretty busy year. Expect good music from me and my people.

Peace & blessings,

Mac tha Knife

Blog #2: Lil' Wayne and the mixtape

What's good, peoples?

I've been a frequent user of datpiff.com for over a year now, and I've noticed something:
It's apparent that the mixtape game was oversatuated with Lil' Wayne copies, right? Stans didn't get mad. They were just like "let the DJ do his thing" and alotta people got fed up with gettin' same shit different name. But now, a few days ago, DJ KPR dropped a mixtape of Lil' Wayne disses. It was new. It was different, but alotta people got pissed. Worse than that, alotta people were sayin' stuff like "lame how a no-name DJ tryna get attention off Lil' Wayne's name". I mean, wasn't this the same shit we were complainin' about months ago when they were makin' carbon copies of the C3 sessions? It seems biased, but whatever. I'll be back with more blogs to hit you with. Peace

Blog #1: Introduction - 2008 til Infinity

Hey guys,

This is the one and only Mac tha Knife aka Nashville's Finest MC. I decided to open up a blogspot so people can read more of my thoughts besides what I put on wax. I'll start this blog off with my plans/goals for 2008. The Great American Paper Chase will be out by the end of this month (God willing) and I plan on pushing that hard. Also, I have two EPs in the works. The first one is an 8 track preview of my album, thus the EP shall be called "The 8-Track". The second EP will be a 13-track collection of joints over beats by my homeboy Lannie, currently untiltled. Also, Fresh City will finally come back to the radar. Expect music from us very soon. The Family mixtapes should be out shortly as well. I'ma be a busy guy this year. Also, I'll be updating this page with news and whatnot so stay close. Peace
