The Up-Bringing 2.0

Yeah man.....J.Nolan and Yung B Da Producer are finally back in business with this music. Which would be me and Yung B aka cousin B bka your new favorite producer.....With "The Up-Bringing 2.0", that is. So yeah...We're putting the project out on December 1, 2008 which is less than two weeks at this point. A full week and a few days or whatever. It's a pretty nice thing we have going man. Maybe we'll get some of the recognition we deserve with this one. Maybe not. Whatever, I don't do music for opinions although its nothing better than realizing that someone new considers their self a fan of my work. Now that's priceless. Anyway, make sure that YOU download it and burn copies for all your family members throughout the holidays. It'll probably be the first album anyone cherishes on Christmas within the last 5 years! lol, Anyone that's slept on my past projects needs to wake up quick, fast, and in a hurry.....You think I use too many commas??? lol

ElectroRock V4

Turbo is back to kill the game again with the 4th installment of the ElectroRock series:

12/4/08.....12-4=8

Slightly Moved...

"my friend Vicki says hi and that she thought your name was J.Nickels.


&& she loves your music. "

That was kinda cool. I don't get many people that say hi and love my music at the same time. Normally it's hi, who are you? And my name is obviously J.Nolan. They don't bother to ask what the J stands for....Oh well. Or hi, check my music. WORSE. Whatever, that was cool.

Something You Should Know...

I'm about 85% sure that I will abandon the whole mixtape scene when I get into the music industry. I know that abandon is a strong word but whatever, I will. I mean at first yeah I'll do some mixtapes or at least partake in some. The act of doing full ones though, NO! Like after my first album...it's a wrap man. I've released like 7 in the past two years and they've recapped just about everything that could possibly be stated. Technically its 7 albums due to the subject matter. So I just want everyone to understand that. Not many people will see this post but I don't care. It's the internet, someone will see it. I'm not gonna front man...I'm TIRED. Like physically and mentally drained. I didn't really notice it until today when all I wanted to do was be away from EVERYONE and half-sleep. That's not a normal thing for me. For one, I'm ready to start working on my next project(s) and I haven't been able to begin recording. Studio withdrawal is a problem for me. I can't reproduce new music if I can't hear the new music I already need to do. It's like kicking someone after they're obviously dead. POINTLESS. I'm someone that thrives off of feeling. And I feel like shiza right now....The mixtape game is really killing me, if I never killed it I wouldn't have the small support I have now. But at some point you get tired. I'm at that point. I'm sure that mixtapes will not be something I frequent once I get in the game....

The Zshare Crisis...

For all the people out there that have been trying to download my mixtapes off of my myspace page and getting failed results, I apologize! Zshare has been undergoing maintenance and things have been uncharacteristically weird on there as of late. Well, after a few complaints I had to do some "applied problem solving" and create new links of the mixtapes.....Here they are:

All is cured.....Right?

Big-Ups to Turbo...

For featuring my "I Am Not a Rapper" mixtape on his blog about a week ago.
Here's a quote from the post:" i've yet to hear the whole thing but what i HAVE heard, very nice.
Usually within a few seconds into someone who sends me their music, I turn it off.
lol.
not this, though.
dope."
Definitely deserving of a Big-Up, wouldn't you agree???

ELECTROROCK VOL.3: VERSES VERSUS VOLTAGE


And here's a song off of ER4 in video form:


As you can see, I have a great deal of respect for the Scrambling Scholar. Pretty much the only unsigned artist outside of my immediate team that pushes me to strengthen my lyrical content...
Check it!!!

My Ideal 1st Album........

Even though noone probably cares....The idea just popped into my head on who I want to work with on my debut album whenever God blesses me with the opportunity. I have enough music to compensate for like 12 albums already. haha
Anyway, I want Just Blaze to do my intro. Or Yung B and have Just do track 2. He always has the best intro/track 2 ideas. I'd like to have Madlib produce like 3 joints on there. Dude is too creative. I wouldn't mind the "single" being one of his tracks. And this Hudson Mohawke guy....My GOD! I'd trust a whole album done by him just on some ill-next-level-type ish. You'll hear me on 2 of his joints on my Melophobia project next year. They're off his instrumental album, but I have his contact so hopefully I can chop it up with dude. I always wanted something from Kanye, but it'd have to be out of his soulful collection. I'm trying to be that next big thing so I always need someone that can push the envelope to create classics. And honestly, I wouldn't need anyone else other than Mac Morrison. That's 7 producers....I don't want my sound to be like a collage. lmao
Yeah man. I'm thinking about having my debut be like 19 or 20 tracks. Everyone is doing 11 track albums these days that only have 3 good songs. I want EVERY song to be noteworthy. I swear man......If and when the time presents itself I will be so ready being that I've dealt with a lot of uncharacteristically sour apples already in the limited time that I've been around in hip-hop.
