Grind Time Presents

The two videos above are from the American rap scene called Grind Time which is a battle league created by rappers, for rappers, taking the previous privilage off a company called Jump Off who treated the rappers badly so they decided to break off and form Grind Time. Its very big on YouTube if your into this scene you will at some point come across Grind Time, and you'll stick with it.

They are pushing albums for these artists who are performing and promoting clothing lines such as IMKING who advertise along with 9FIVE Eyewear.

Concieted The small guy with the chris rock sounding voice is one of my favourite in the league.
Battling a guy called Illmaculate he breaks down the sylabols of his name, Ill and Mac to use against him "Once I let all the Guns and the Clips Blow, It'll be the first time you'll see a Mac running through Windows" The crowd goes wild. I could spend forever watching these battles, I think the quick wit and funny lines along with perfect execution win over the battles.

It might not be your thing but take a look anyway, it won't hurt.


Unfortunatly blogspot wont load this video, i will keep trying though.

My Lifes Deep Track

-My Lifes Deep
I live where tourists don't stay to Sight See
Night Streets where the bad Guys Meet
Rides Creep while your Eyes Asleep

9 to 5 Beef they Hide Behind Heat
Dirty Streets, yours are Nice and Clean
You don't have a clue what its Like for Me
If only you knew what my Eyes have Seen

Die if you Deek, watch the Rise of a Thief
Try and you'll See with the Size of my Fleet
Hot Streets, you'll Die from the Heat
You wont Survive through the Week

- I Keep my Rhymes Brief
And fill these Lined Sheets cause my Mind can't sleep
- I spend Time with the Beat
- Rewind and Repeat

Re-write each line till I Find what I Need
- Till I Write what I Mean
I grew up penniless not a Dime not a Bean
3 young kids my mum Tried and Succeed

Both parents working Time for the Green
I realised quickly that Life is Mean
- My grandma Lies 6 Feet
Cut the families root my heart Died in that Tree

Stayed strong for the family but Inside I Weep
Had to Rise to my Feet no Time to Grieve
Need to work hard for the Life I Seek
Reach my potential Highest Peek

I working hard 7 Nights a Week
I'm too hungry I'm Dying to Eat
I'm business strong while your Minds are Weak
Ladder propt up Time to Climb my Dream

Make a success my clothing Line of Tees
Expand its horizan Find my Niche
And when the clothes get popular Price Increase
Retire on a Beach thats the Life for Me

But first I'm escape these Crime and Streets
- I'm Grimey but Clean
I'm opening doors while your Finding your Keys
Your Behind the Scenes

No longer at the top spot your Time has Ceased
I cant think why for the Life of Me
God chose to put me in the Driving Seat
And I've got this conscience Reminding Me

My ambitions are dead bring the Life Back Please
Now your falling in love with the Rhymes I Speak
Inhale what I'm saying, Lines and Keys
- I'm a Rhyming Dream

(Needs a hook to it and finishing)

Fruity Loops

Fruity Loops is a music program me and my good friend Ray are using to make instrumentals and beats on. He's more of a master than I am but I'm learning bit by bit, its just persistence and repetition with programs. This program has so many hidden extras that we are newly discovering each time we go on. Great program to use for both professional and amateur use. I was also given another program called Deckadance, haven't had chance to use it yet as Fruity Loops is keeping me occupied for now. I'll post up instrumentals up I have made if I can work out how. Stay Tuned.

Grandma Track

The Only Lady
Old and Fraily, Hold me as a Baby
Talking in her arm chair Soly Saved Me
Try to be a good boy she Told me Daily

Without her its like my Souls Escaped Me
- This Hole it Aches Me
Makes my mood shit like its Cold and Rainy
Emotional lyrics this flow it Drains Me

Remind me back to the Olden Days She
Cooked beautiful food Sunday Roasts and Gravy
Stomach full up to the Most So Tastey
Grandmas food, you Know when shes Baked It

She loved her family and Hosted Amazing
She holds my target she Knows where I'm Aiming
- These Clothes that I'm Making
Follow that dream its Yours for the Taking.

Sony Music Acid

Sony Acid Music Studio is a very basic music program for beginners, its cheap and easy to use. I have used it to make instrumentals but I cant figure out how to display these beats on my blog. There is a website called sound cloud that enables you to display mp3s for all top see easily along with myspace so I will look into getting one of these and displaying the link. Music ACID has basic loops and samples along with melodies and beats made by others you can chop and change to suit your needs. It was cheap enough costing me £40 for windows a few years back and then i got a mac so I had to install parallels desktop onto my mac which was a pain but it has opened a few doors to programs like this one I didn't think I could again use. In summary, Music Acid, basic but great for getting started.

Bit of a Wifey One

How can I Describe when I Look in her Eyes
I've won the jackpot and I'm Loving the Prize
She changed up my game when she Shook up the Dice
She didn't want to leave when she Snook in my Life

She hates it when I'm shotting out Bud and the White
She hates sleeping without me I Hustle at Night
She hits the pillow in the dark I Touch it in the Light
She's my inspiration when there's Nothing to Write

I get the sexy girls man I Must be the Type
Likes my business mind shes Loving the Drive
Own my own clothing and I'm Pushing the Line
Expect a mansion on the beach in the Sun where it Shines


Shes got Nothing but Time for the Stuff on my Mind
She owns my heart now theres Nothing Inside
Am I Bluffing or Lied? Fix Up and Decide
I thinks she knows the answer when she Looks in my Eyes

Through the Toughest of Times where Nothing is Right
I was hiding she was counting down Shutting her Eyes
But I hid too well and she Struggled to Find
I feel like I've lost her and I'm Struggling for Time

Problems Multiplied with the Love in my Life
Fucked me up, and it, Cut me Inside
It was Bugging my Mind when the Love Should have Died
And yet here she was, Stuck in my Life.

Need a chorus, i'll get thinking. its coming. Think i want a girl singing on it actually.

Wrote This On Saturday 3rd July

I'll spit Punchlines to your Dumb Mind
Got myself a label, Done, Signed
Shooting targets easy like the Guns Mine
I'm dark like the night better Run to the Light

- Theres Blood when I Fight
I'll bring the fire set your Hood Alight
Being gangster doesn't mean shotting Bud and White
I'll slow down your shots, Bullet Time

Your scared, you thought I Couldn't Rhyme
Mistaken, you thought I Wouldn't Fight
Start the war, I Love the Hype
I'm a big boy, this P****s Tight

The next victims what your Looking Like
You don't ride no more like I Took your Bike
Straight business but with a Crooked Eye
How's he spitting venom but Looking White?

You really couldn't read the Book that I Write

Quite pleased with how this ones flowing, need to work on a chorus, something with a hook for the audience to get in to, I'll get working on a beat.
