D'Angelo comeback???

We have been waiting

D'Angelo is trying to get his music career cranking again, and is reportedly getting some heavyweight help. Big names like Prince, Cee-Lo and Raphael Saddiq have surfaced on the comeback project. Well lets wait and see.

A 23-year-old man is in hospital with serious injuries after his car crashed through a church roof.

Whats the flipping point?

The unnamed motorist was driving his Skoda Octavia at high speeds through villages in Saxony, eastern Germany, when he lost control at a bend.

The car then sailed 100ft through the air and smashed through a church roof. He must of been driving at some superfast speed, some people just can't handle fast cars. What you think your name is? Lewis Hamilton?

Flakes are so flakey!

What do you think?

I brought a Flake for my friend this morning, I couldn't believe how grateful she was for it, she said she felt like royalty whilst eating it as it looks so expensive??????...she is a nutter!

I personally don't like it because before you even get a chance to take a bite, it's all over the floor....it's just crumbles too easily. I want to feed my belly not the floor.

Old School Friday! Real Hip-Hop at its finest.

THIS IS TRUE HIP HOP AT IT'S FINEST!!

Who the hell is Joaquin Phoenix?

Who the hell is Joaquin Phoenix?

I Heard that this guy called Joaquin Phoenix retired as a actor to become a rapper?????.....I'm like who the hell is this guy!
So then, I typed in his name in Yahoo to see if there were any other pics.
Damn! it's that guy....why? why now?....I heard that he left the partygoers stunned when he performed 3 songs....I can imagine.
But boy, he said he has always wanted to Rap...I wish him all the best.

I'm digging for some footage...will try and put it up soon.

Barack Obama a.k.a "The Coolest Brother"

OBAMA HAS DONE IT! 20.01.09.....such a historical day and I'm so blessed that I have been able to witness it.
As he walked out and the crowd cheered, I felt a sense of Peace and a new beginning.

People ask me "why are you making such a big thing over it, it isn’t like he is going to do anything for us as were not American"

Are you serious????? And these are black people who are saying this. The fact that he is of ethnic origin “A BLACK MAN" it's a bloody big deal. To think that the United States has a black man for president is unbelievable and such as achievement.

Thank you Mr. Obama for encouraging me and making me still believe that anything is possible. You were a boy with a dream and didn’t give up, there’s not much difference between me and you.

There are no excuses as to why you can not achieve anything, pursue your dream. If in doubt…look at Obama!

Thank you!

Vans!

I have a fetish!

I have to confess, I own too many pairs of Vans. They are all I wear. From New School to Old School.

Half cabs to authentics, laced to unlaced.

They are the only shoes that represent me and fit me well.

Each day I will be posting up "Vans of the day" ones that I think are hot!

Starting with these

Vans Sk8-Hi Vert Pro Hosoi Pack
One sports a predominantly black colorway while the other features a red color scheme. Both colorways will be available tomorrow at HUF.

These are so dope! the red ones come over better, even though I tend to go for black. But in this case...it has to be the red.

Iv'e got to get me a pair!

Why I do this!

Words of encouregment

Listener

"Girl I just listened to your whole mixtape. Got about 2 minutes left, anyway. I'm on "Wouldn't Trade You For The World"....my gosh, that was like the best mixtape I done heard. I enjoyed the interviews more than anything, and Superjay just totally wrecked that beat. You really got skills, especially being a producer as well. You truely are blessed. I can't wait for Kay Young EP, the mixtape and your album. You had me wanting to hear the full version of the songs and everything. Which I really do NEED to hear now that I mention it. You definitely got yourself a new fan right here. See usually I don't even be listening to the new artists and stuff but I took a chance with you and I'm glad I did. You got good concepts, hot beats and catchy hooks. Your music is perfect. Can't wait to hear more."

I replied

"I mos def appreciate your kind words, and it's such a good feeling when someone feels your music. It just inspires me to create good music.I will try and get it to you in mp3 format if you like.But yeah...I'm glad you enjoyed it.Speak soon and let me know about the mp3 format.PeaCe!Kay Young"

Listener replied

"One things fa sho, and two things fa certain...you have got talent!! I mean, I haven't enjoyed listening to a CD like that in a very long time. Your music is so different from what I'm used to. Your one of a kind. I'm definitely gonna keep up with your work. You're actually saying something in your lyrics and your concepts are so interesting. You were right, a lot of people can relate to the things your talking about and that makes people enjoy the music even more. And as far as the mp3 format goes....don't even sweat it. I'm sure you got betta things to do then worry bout that, and as long as I can enjoy it on my iPod, which I am, I'm satisfied. You truely are, UK's hardest artist."

I replied

": ) man thank you foreal!and don’t worry, ima get that mp3 format to you."

Listener then replied

"Anything for my new favorite artist. I'm actually bout to listen to it again and put it on repeat. I can already tell just by that CD, that your upcoming projects are gonna be even better, and I know that because its gonna be full songs. See, The Introduction was just a sample of what you can do, but once I hear the album I know I'ma be in love with it. I mean, I'm still wildin out over how good that cd was. Best 30 minutes of 2009 as of now lol. I mean that though. And u know what I really be trippin on? The fact that you producing a lot of these tracks that you doing. I mean, you mentioned you're a fan of Kanye, and when I think of you I think to myself, Kay Young is the Kanye West of the UK but even better. So much talent. So, so much talent."

So yeah, there you go. Its words like this which does inspire to continue making good music. I know that I said that my blog was going to be about me behind the Music but what the hell.................Music is a big part of my life and to not talk about it is like not being able to breathe.
I'm a big Kanye fan and to be compared to him is like wow!! Because he is great at what he does and I want to get to his level of greatness.

So thank you much and much appreciated.

PeaCe!

Kay Young

Posting in 2 days! (Preparation!)

Ok, so it's a New Year!

2009 feels like a good year, new start, the New- New.

Went back to work on the 5th Jan : ( to be honest, I can't wait to leave. I have been working a proper job since I was like 15 and I'm tired of the whole 9-5 routine, same ol same ol, day in and day out. But don't get me wrong, I am grateful for the whole experience. I just want to focus on my music full-time, instead of having to just slot it in.

I've purchased a couple new items, a Mpc1000 and a Mac book Yay!

Now I have access to blog on a day to day basis, instead of having to ask if I can borrow someone else's real quick

This is gonna be a quick one though as I have to get up in like 5 hours, so I'm going to love you a leave you.

Blog soon

PeaCe!

Kay Young

Blog Virgin

Kinda knew to the blog world!

Kinda new to this whole blogging world
First of all let me just say my grammar isn’t great and I hate proof reading, but enough with the excuses. Ok like I said in the re-introduction blog, it's seems like people want to know a little more about me, about Kay...... Doesn’t mean I'm going to tell you everything though. I'm a very closed person, there’s only so much I want people to know about me but at the same time there is so much I want to say and I guess I can not do it all through music. So yeah...I'm excited about this.

This is me behind the Music!

Allow me to re-introduce myself....my name is

The Re-introduction

Hello!
Some of you my know a little about what I do and some of you may not.
I am 22 years of a age, born in 1986 South-East London and I'm an artist/producer under the management of Top Boy Music.
I grew up in a musical family so I guess there was no escaping.
I was raised to respect others as long as they respected me and realized from a young age that everybody is different and we should respect other people's differences.
But yeah...you can check me out on my myspace for more updates, features, pics the whole shabam.
http://www.myspace.com/kayyoungmusic
I have The Introduction mixtape available for downloading which is FREE.
But ima a stop there as I decided that this blog what about getting to know me on a personal level other than music....ya dig lol!
