Today I did a complete update... although not the type most of you were hoping for... Instead I did a basic strip down of the site. Its a pain in the ass to upload content to INDRecordings.com, the MySpace joints, and Reverb Nation(Still Under Construction.)

So we're gonna chill on here and keep it moving along on the myspace and reverb sites. For now...

A little news ... Kae G recently took a short break from life in the lab to rock alongside Fortune and recently aligned dj crew "The Stone Groove" (more about them later.) The show was bananas and I would at this point be promising you video of said show except... Kae G got drunk and dropped the camera just hours before the event and ... there you go; no video. But aside from that mishap by all accounts it was a night to remember.

Kae G's album, yet to be titled, is said to be gut wrenchingly close to completion. Kae G recently let the whole crew here a few choice cuts of the album. The general consinous on the album is "shh... if you talk too loud he'll start over again!"

Fortune's mixtape recently finished a round of re-recordings and should be set to get mixed soon .. and possibly cut by DJ Icirus and/or DJ Sonar (Stone Groove.)

Suga Hill's sophomore release is selling well by last calculation and as of today is up for sale RIGHT HERE on INDRecordings.com. So if you haven't already; pick it up.

And in closing ... as promised The Stone Groove ... DJ Sonar and ScrunchyFace FlatBroke! The cats are ill and put on one hell of a show. If you get a chance to check 'em out, with or without IND alongside make sure you do. The rock a podcast on ITunes titled "The Pay Day Podcast" and the last edition, "15 Mins of 45s" was hot fire ... check it out, listen out for some Fortune tracks dropping on there soon!

Thats it for now, and I don't promise and regular updates coming up... things have been slow with Kae in the lab, and Fortune and Shillz in the street... But if somthig' pops you'll hear either here or the myspace so... be on the look out!

Hello World, I'm Kevin ... and this is my inexplicable keyboard.

Last night was crazy wild and thanks to the help given by Chris
(aka "DJ Nig") and Butch, Fortune tore down the IceHouse in Summerville last night.

We got to show some love out there to Hal, and his brother Sean Cone for coming out, copping a CD. As well as Daniel who picked one up last night!

Everyone showed IND nothing but love last night, and a good time was had by all.

Hell even Nikki Skuffles snuck into the club to show support...

So... more to come soon, keep check us out, COP THE EP! Check myspace.com/fortuneind for pictures, and we'll have some video coming soon! Check back later this week. Peace!

Hello WORLD ... or at least to the two or three people who read my incessant ramblings ... I'm-a-keep this one short - ish...

YO' first off ... FUCK UPS! Roll with FED EX! UPS will straight up hand your shit to anyone! How Fortune ship five grand worth of joints to Dready and they let some little old Hation church lady sign for it ...?

Especially considering she lives ACROSS the street ... and may I add this is NY people ... across the street ain't the Johnson family ... its the Johnson's, the Washington's, the Smith's, the Mitchell's, the Ortiz's, etc etc ... how they pick just some random lady out of a six story apartment building son? Shit is crazy type wild ... but whatever ... roll with FED EX or DHL if that's your thing ... just don't fuck with UPS.

Any way I gotta take this time to give a BIG BIG up to Dready who is DOING IT up top ... the lost ... and luckily recovered shipment is the second IND had shipped to my man ... and he is MOVING 'EM! Yo' ... word up if we don't have distribution by next YEAR! The industry is blind son, because the motherfucking numbers ARE THERE!

MORE ICE is wrapping up shortly and should be ready for release by the end of September... word is Fortune has already murked beats such as ... The People, Can't Tell Me Nothi'n, Black Republicans, State of Grace, Like A Champion, and many more.

ALL THAT ... is not to mention the FIVE original tracks that are supposed to hit the mixtape including a DANGER BANGER called "LIFE" and four other Kae G produced joints ... it's gonna be crazy!

Thats all for now ... whoa ... whoa ... EXCEPT I almost forgot ... Kae G, and Fortune will be in NEW YORK motherfucking CITY to celebrate the EP, and MIXTAPE release as one! Date, and location to come. Stay tuned.

Four days into the release of "The Tortured Souls E.P." numbers aren't looking bad for a project with absolutely no budget! I haven't seen any official numbers but I'm hearing several hundred have been snatched up so far.

Oh yeah, word up to everyone out there at the Noisy Oyster over on D Road. Kae G The Original Seed was out there with Suga Hill tonight having some drinks and promoting the album. Several copies moved out there so ... big up to Nikki Scuffles for putting that together, and everyone out there who picked up a copy of that Fortune dope-ness!

Rumors are circulating around that Suga Hill will be back home in the Bronx wrapping up his forthcoming, "Diamond in the Ruff" around August.

Also I'm hearing word that Kae G, and Fortune may be joining him around September. Where Fortune may be meeting up with former IND Recording artist Vision to work on a joint venture focused on moving copies of "The Tortured Souls E.P." and promotion of the forthcoming LP in, and around Brooklyn.

Word up ... plus you know Suga Hill got the BX on smash ... so big things in the works, but who knows ... these are just rumors going around town.

No news yet on the video shoot ... I can't yet confirm there will be a video, but I'm hearing that if there is one it MAY be "Fire" off the E.P. ... which would be CRAZY son.

So in conclusion, Fortune project doing well, Suga Hill coming soon, and they don't tell me shit!

Stay tuned, support INDependent Hip Hop
