That’s a rap!

December 16th, 2009

So we’ve been working very hard on wrapping up our debut album, and one of the few things left to do is get good MCs on our songs that need rap.  We already have Eligh from Living Legends locked down on two tracks, which is awesome!  And he’s a super cool dude, which makes it all even more awesome.  Last Thursday we fit in another piece of the puzzle, and it was one of the best days I’ve ever had in my life.  Through a long chain of SUPER random events, and persistence, we got hooked up with Rugged Monk from the Black Knights, and he is now officially also on our debut album.  So we’ve got the west coast Killer Bee, Wu-affiliate involved, which is great because we’ve been big fans of Wu-Tang since they came onto the scene.  Some friends and I went up to LA and picked him up from his front door, took him here to Encinitas, chilled out all day, he wrote and recorded a really dope verse, we went out to a nice dinner, and then we dropped him off back home.  What’s so cool about it is that the vibes couldn’t have been better throughout the experience, and Rugged Monk, like Eligh, is also a really cool dude.  And he’s funny!  We had a great time the whole day and a great verse came out of it, and this is very exciting for Inspired Flight.  Unfortunately for you fans you will have to wait till our album drops sometime in March to hear it.  But it’s all good baybeh baybeh!  So now there are only two songs left that need rap; two more missing puzzle pieces, and if all goes to plan, these last two MCs are going to be big!  So keep your fingers crossed for us, and I’ll let you know when we fit the last pieces into place.  By the way, the puzzle we’re making is a huge picture of OpenOptics carrying a turntable in his mouth, and wearing a Quidditch robe from Hufflepuff.  It looks really cool if you stand far back and take it all in.  I think OpenOptics looks better in Slytherin colors, but he was obsessed with Hufflepuff’s badger symbol…….either way it’s amazing how strong his jaws are!
