EvergreenOne & Todd Sykes

this past weekend, todd and i finally started the recording process of our first album. we have been writing songs and playing shows for a solid year now, and finally have a list of songs that are worth calling an album. im super stoked on the project.

we had john mccrae, a professional sound engineer, set up shop down at my crib in the north end of tacoma, this weekend. old town/stadium district. here's the view.

we worked on the album all weekend. on friday, it was just myself and john. i layed my vocals on 4 solo joints that are all produced by todd sykes. i couldnt find my pipe, so i was smoking pot out of a pbr beer can during the session. some of the songs that i worked on were "90's shit", "sugar", and "filet de soul".

on saturday, todd came over and we were super productive. we got through about 6 joints, and got to kick it with the homies all day. some people who came through were fice, a-hyppa, eddie, leighton, kalen, and my old man. saturdays are my dads day off from dialysis, so he was able to stop by and sit in for a while. i made him check his blood sugar, and then made him a sandwhich.

we finished tracking vocals for 11 songs. we are hoping to have about 16 or 17 songs on the cd, but who fuckin knows. it took us 9 months to pick a solid set of beats that we feel comfortable with. this is my first album/meaniingful music that i have ever put out, and i am super exicted about it. dont ask when the release date is, because i dont know. hopefully, it will be soon.

i'll leak a song soon. something funky.
