COMING VERY SOON!!!



So like...yeah. "Not Enough Time" will be out in a few more weeks, give or take a week or something like that. This is probably one of my sloppiest endeavors as far as coming up with a release date, but who cares??? Seriously! Nah, but I'm just waiting on my homie Amor Jones to submit his verse to Take My Time and I'll be able to determine the exact day. Until then, enjoy the title track Not Enough Time on myspace or on the very nice blogs that posted the track. I'm too lazy to put up the links but a simple google search of J.Nolan- Not Enough Time should give you an idea of where to hear the song.

Flashback....


From Me to U
I wonder who actually copped this album...I know I did. If anyone knew me in 10th and 11th grade, they knew I thought I was in Dipset. lmao
Can't believe I lost that shirt. I'd still wear it just to be cool. smh
Oh yeah, just gotta thank Turbo for posting the "Soul Brother Pt.2" video on his blog.
Uhhh, who wants to see the cover for "Not Enough Time"??? Get ready for February folks. March at the VERY latest. Let me know...

2009: "Not Enough Time"


Yeah...that's the name of the next 'street album' as some would identify it to be. I'm looking to release it in February if D.Jae Roots can get back to Atlanta to record it in January. I HATE coming up with dates and pushing them back. Anyways....I don't want to post the cover for it just yet. I just want to plant the seed in your mind that it's coming.

A Thought....



I should probably blog more on here, huh??? I don't know man, no one really even knows that I'm out here as far as the blogspot scene goes....That's pretty bad. I do a daily blog on myspace and my content gets friggin wiped out after a certain amount of posts and whatnot. I've lost some pretty valuable entries that will never be seen again. OUCH! I'm gonna start referring people to this blog. I think it'll open up the opportunity for folks to understand me better...my other stuff is like 'accomplishment 1', 'accomplishment 2', and so forth. That's not really what I'm about!!! Not that I'm deep, but I'm not that light in the brain either. lol

OKAYPLAYER??? Yes!

Dude/dudette, I first must admit I google myself and everything I'm involved with like a million times a day...And at times I get tired of the same stuff coming up but seek and you shall find, right? Indeed! So like...I found the hottttttttest shiza ever! The Up-Bringing 2.0 was mentioned in the OKAYPLAYER blogs yesterday!!! The Blogarhythms section. I'll copy and paste what dude said and provide the URL to where you can see for yourself. Anyone that's into hip-hop should know how tough it is to get love on OKAYPLAYER....Remember 'Get Em High' off The College Dropout? Talib said shorty "Always got something to say like a OKAYPLAYER hater." Well, there was no hate....Its all love dogggggg!

Here's the text: "If paying for records just isn't for you though you might be interested in The Up-Bringing 2.0 the new digi-release from New Haven, Connecticut-born, Bay Area-raised, Atlanta, Georgia-based 19-year-old named J.Nolan, which he's giving away as a free download! It's not even a mixtape, but a 21-track collection of all original tracks composed in collaboration between him and his cousin, beatmaker Young B Da Producer. The young upstart, a student of the Kanye West and Lupe Fiasco school of Rap, still has a lot of growing to do, but The Up-Bringing reveals him as a confident, creative kid who has a ton of potential. Admittedly it's refreshing to hear a young artist with such a straightforward take on Hip-Hop rather than latching on to whatever the hot underground trends or commercial fads are. Young B made him a stack of sample-based beats, many of which put an original spin on familiar records and grooves that have already been famously sampled, and J.Nolan poured words all over them until he had more than an album's worth of songs dealing with the life, love, fears, hopes and fantasies of an authentic teenager who dreams of being a rapper. He realized his dreams on his own terms, and didn't have to Soulja Boy himself in the process.

THANK YOU EVERYONE!!!

Man, I gotta give a huge thanks to everyone that's posted the "Soul Brother pt.2" Video on their blogs and websites and everywhere in between! I'm pretty sure there's plenty of people asking "who the flip is J.Nolan?" and I don't blame you for asking...It would seem like this video came out of nowhere. Contrarily, it did not! But that's for another discussion. So the thank you list, I really want to shout everyone out on my next project too cuz it's really a pleasure to be getting the love from everyone....These are all the people that will be named!
The List: Spaz The Writer(spazthewriter), Sean The Robot(Amajanese & LupE.N.D.), Judah(forthedmvonly.blogspot.com), OnSmash.Com!, Mustafa(the director), Metal Lungies, ItsHipHop.Blogspot.com, TheHipHopChronicle.com, YungDrew.com, DailyMotion, Rhymestyle at HipHopStateofMind.com, Chuck@musiconplay.net, Andy@ArtofRhyme.com(thanks for the artist blog man!), and Different Kitchen(for posting it even though you didn't enjoy it. lol). The list will likely be longer when I record "Not Enough Time" since the video's only been out for 2 days now.
Thanks!!!!
