Summer Update   


So, it seems like an eternity since my last update.  I've definitely been puttin' in work this summer out in the Texas heat.  Let me catch you up on a few details.

If you've followed me anywhere online I would hope that you saw the Paradox & DJ Sean P record officially dropped.  Peep it on iTunes or at Sphereofhiphop.com for a physical copy.  Along with 12 songs, the album contains 11 instrumentals all produced by yours truly.

Outside of that studio project, I'm rapping up mixing and mastering for Sean Little.  Hopefully he will be announcing this album soon.  But, I will tell you all the beats are handled by a super talented beat maker most you are hip to.  And, you know I got a scratch hook on the project so I'll be posting that song when it's time.  I'm also starting a new mixing project for my homeboy Griffin.  I'm mixing an EP he's recording with SI producer Jaq, so you know it's quality material!

What's crazy is I was asked to hooked up a couple of rap features in the last two months.  I did a feature on a Dallas posse cut for Sivion's new record.  And, I plugged in the mic for a joint with MDA.  The song's called, In the Words of The Native Tongue, which has a verse about ATCQ, De La, & Jungle Brothers.  I was lucky enought to get the Tribe verse.  I spit only using song titles from their catalog.  I look forward to letting y'all here that one.

You know I got in on some cuts too.  I sliced together two new scratch hooks for my usual suspects, Whatson and the Bodega Brovas.  These are my people...support them!  I'll be posting these as soon as I can without being shanked by their industry goons.

Outside the studio my wax still spins straight despite the incredible temperatures.  You know I'm parting hard with fly couples thanks to my company, Something New Music.  And, I've been DJing a ton for Keystone Church.  They've been throwing block parties all throughout Keller & Fort Worth this month.  I've been DJing with them every Wednesday and Friday.  Check out their website if you want to drop in.  They also invited me to scratch with the band this past weekend.  The band has some super talented musicians and singers, and the video and lighting guys really turned it out with giant projections and falling scrims.  I had a blast.  I'll be DJing there select dates throughout the remainder of the year, so come check it out if your interested.

Lastly, I'll playing at The Bone in Deep Ellum September 9th with super emcee, Playdough.  Come check us out.

Paradox & DJ Sean P - Man vs. Self (feat. manCHILD) by DJSeanP

Sean P  
The Good Side (2009)  


This is my unreleased, second solo album from 2009.  I don't plan on recording another rap album, so I want to share these finals songs with you guys.  I shrunk initial album down to 6 songs and added to bandcamp.  Get it for free or stream it below.  Hope you find something pleases your Hip Hop tastes.  

Move Merchants  
"Live As It Gets" EP Download  


One of my most well received joints has been "Live As It Gets" from the Move Merchants record.  And, there's no mystery why.  It's got a monster line up of emcees with a hard beat and cuts.  I added it as a free download to the SoundCloud page.  So, if you don't have it, feel free to grab it below.

Move Merchants - Live As It Gets (feat. Theory Hazit & Playdough) by DJSeanP

Also, for all you DJs and remixers, here's a promo EP that we put out for the Move Merchants album in 2009.  It has the album, instrumental, and acapella version of Live As It Gets, Move Merchants, and Rain.  Peep the link for the free dl.  To get the whole album, visit MoveMerchants.com

Sean P  
"Stiles for Miles"  



First thing, I wanted to hip y'all to my updated youtube page.  If you're into youtube subscriptions, I'll be posting videos of songs to keep you up to date.

I released an independent solo album in 2007 under the name Sean P (without the DJ moniker).  The album was called "Stiles for Miles" and was distributed digitally everywhere.  I made physical copies to distribute for promos, but very few physical copies were available for sale.  Needless to say it flew under the radar. hahaha  It's a cool record of filtered samples, loud drums, and organic instrumentation.  The lyrics are highly reflective on life, and were meant to inspire.  There's a lot of experimentation in the album that strays away from my hip hop norms.  Reel to reel, SM57s, tube organs...etc.  The beats were made earily in the AM with no rest and the vocals were laid down immediately.
Download 'I Spit' on Soundcloud

"Stiles for Miles" is no longer on iTunes...just available at djseanp.bandcamp.com.  Check it out.  I should also have the instrumentals uploaded on bandcamp soon (for free).

Whatson "Introducing" 
feat. L.E.G.A.C.Y. &  
Cas Metah & Rasco  


The official single from Whatson - Introducing.  The full length album, The Medium, coming 2011 and features a grip of solid rappers.  Download the song below and peep the artwork for a list of names.


And, as a bonus...here's a sneak peek of another joint I cut on from this album. The Medium featuring Scibbling Idiots

"Don't You Know"  
featuring JustMe &  
Ruslan of theBreax  


Peep the new leak from the Paradox & DJ Sean P album.  'Don't You Know' features raps from two guys I've had the pleasure to work with in the past, and who are no strangers to this blog.  First is veteran mic controller, JustMe (of the Scribbling Idiots).  This is the second showing from an SI emcee on the record.  And, when it's all said and done, it's not the last (MotionPlus blessed us with a verse last week).  If you haven't checked out JustMe's last album - you should.  Tragedy & Dope, is a powerful record produced entirely by CunninLynguists' own sound-provider, Deacon the Villain.  Ruslan of theBREAX also gifted us with bars on this one.  By the way, his crew just dropped a fresh new video...peep it on youtube.  I'm excited that we got the opportunity to share a beat with these gentleman, so without further exploits...here it is.

Summer Update  


Man, there is no doubt it summer time in Texas.  Already with the 100 degree temps - got me feeling like an old man in this heat.  But, I just got back from the pool and then promptly proceeded to Lee's BBQ to down a chopped brisket sandwich.  So, we'll call it even.  And, I've been blessed to stay busy this summer.  As usual I'm steady DJing private events and parties.  Holler at me anytime - check the contact page.  Let's party.

The studio work has been relentless as well.  As you've seen before I'm working on an album with a cool guy, emcee Paradox.  My beats and his raps are all recorded at this point.  We are getting all the guest artist finished up right now.  So far we have guest appearances by: Freddie Bruno, Playdough, Sivion, Sintax (of Deepspace 5), JustMe & Wonder Brown (of SI), Braille, Griffin, Relic, IZK (of Blunt Force Crew), & Sammy Blaze.  The record should be done and available by August of this year.

I'm finishing up a mixing and mastering project for Sean Little.  I think he's still keeping that project quiet  - so I'll leave it at that.

I just finished recording scratches on a few dope songs.  The first is with, the always live, Bodega Brovas.  Man, these guys have been putting out a lot of dope music lately.  I'm really happy to do another song with them.  This one is produced by producer extraordinaire J.Rhodes.  I'll post when it drops.

The other songs are for an album by JustMe and Jaq (of Scribbling Idiots).  Again, I'm blessed to be working with these guys.  The joints have that true hip-hop essence.  Look for me to post those too.

Also, I'm about to start on a mixtape with Heath McNease called Nintendo Thumb.  He teamed up with one of gritty hip-hop's finest producers, For Beat's Sake.  Peep the leak at Sphereofhiphop.com, which features Playdough and ManChild.

Lastly, I'll leave you with this.  Playdough's video for "Ya Heard" directed & shot by Teddy Cool (Blue Pill Entertainment).  It's been getting some great press all over the net.  Check it out at CMJ.

See how many times you can spot my bucket head in the video.  Send me an email with the count and  I'll hook up a free album. :)
