Throughout the beginning of writing Marvelous World Of Color, I was really frustrated with Hip Hop. Both as an artist and a fan of the culture I was, and still am to a degree, feeling like maybe my time with Hip Hop was coming to an end. Most people don’t have any idea what we go through as artists continuously being “on the verge” of achieving the dream of being able to make a living wage off of what we do. When Rodney first gave me the beat for “Go” I was looking for a way to vent and find some direction in my uncertain future and this beat was the perfect platform for that. Marvelous World Of Color drops August 11th, 2010.

WHEN WE WERE PUTTING TOGETHER J. CARDIM’S NEW MUSIC CARTEL-PRESENTED AND EVIL EMPIRE-HOSTED DICE MUSIC GROUP: THE IN CROWD, WE KNEW WE WANTED TO INCLUDE ONE OF THE SONGS J. CARDIM PRODUCED WHEN HE WAS WORKING ON O.D.B.’S POSTHUMOUS ALBUM IN 2005/2006. WE ENDED UP RUNNING WITH “ALL OF THE TIME” (TRACK 11 ON THE IN CROWD) BUT WE WANTED TO LET THE PEOPLE HEAR THE OTHER ONE. IT IS ALSO WORTH NOTING THAT OUR FRIEND, THE ULTRA-TALENTED PRODUCER DAME GREASE ALSO PRODUCED AN EARLY VERSION OF THIS SONG AND CAN BE HEARD IN THE AD-LIBS ON THE CHORUS. ITS A SHAME THIS MUSIC DIDN’T COME OUT WHEN IT SHOULD HAVE, R.I.P. TO ONE OF HIP HOP’S GREATEST ARTISTS AND CHARACTERS.

Smokey Robotic and his group consisting of 4 members (Seer, Father Dude, Konrad, & !llmind), create music that fuses pop, dance, electro, experimental & hip-hop. A genre Smokey likes to refer to as “Superfuture”. The first leak off this 12 track debut album is an up-beat, melodic, catchy tune called “Forever My Love”.

Forty years ago, a two-foot robot exploded out of a jukebox then disappeared. Recently, he re-surfaced and put together a band to perform his music. Finally with an official release date, the debut album “Smokey Robotic” LP will be available for free download next week! Stay tuned.
