Traditionally in Haitian Households Good Friday is celebrated by a feast of different fish and salads….I remember when I was young I asked my friend Nate Hampton if he new what Good Friday was…he looked at me and said “The Good of the Friday” HA!! I always thought that was hilarious. Now I know it’s true.
Stay FOCUSED, POSITIVE and PRODUCTIVE
Buy/Listen to The Hit Single “Take Our Time (Right Away)” produced by Tye Hill from the soon to be released Ep “Ladies Love Mixtapes”
2013 has been exciting year for me. Amazing projects are on the horizon. Lets go down the list.
1. Ladies Love Mixtapes Ep
This will be released the spring of 2013. This project was inspired by relationships. This seven track..(at the moment) Ep is a loose story about a relationship between a man and a woman. This is a project that focuses on the start of a relationship to the start of a relationship. My intention was to create a project that had some type of loose narrative that would cater to women’s sensibilities and be more inclusive with respect to rap music and Hip Hop as a culture.
The bulk of the production is done Tye Hill. Eddy Lamarre and Crankz from Poland also provide solid production.
The lead single “Take Our Time” produced by Tye Hill is a smooth laid back track that is an introduction to the project and sets the stage for the rest of the Ep. Feel Free to Listen/Buy the track below.
2. The Guild A Hate You Can Trust
I collaborated with some of Chicagos best talent to create a project called “The Guild. A Hate You Can Trust” This project is the brainchild of Marshall “Mars” Lindsey and Dj Kwest On and is inspired by the Cartoon Network Animated Series on Adult Swim called The Venture Brothers.
This project enlists the talents of Nicole Sampshon (singer), Sean Ace (producer/rapper) and Cya (rapper) who form Brown Audio, Jus cuZ (producer/rapper), and Vision 77 (producer) and yours truly Precise… Check the Promo Below
3. The Anti Skinny Jeans Lp
I am super excited about this project. The Anti Skinny Jeans Lp is the brainchild of rapper/producer Rkitech from Long Island Ny. He has produced for notable artists such as Mary J Blige, EPMD, Redman and a host of others.
This project features the likes of Keith Murray, Buckshot, Hakim from Channel Live, Prime Meridian and ME…Precise. The lead single called “Back to the Basics” Ft Rkitech and Hakim fro Channel Live provides some good insight as to what you should expect. Check the video below.
….keep your eyes open for the“The Feeling” video ft Rkitech and Precise …listen to the song below.
So…as you can see 2013 is pretty busy and there are still a few projects that I have not mentioned. Do me a favor….listen to the songs…peep the promos and LEAVE A COMMENT, LIKE and SHARE!!
STAY TUNED!
Precise, Ideal, Creole
If you have ever had the chance to read my bio you would see that I started off as a solo rapper but then formed a group called Nubearth. The group consisted of myself, Creole the Individual and Ideal the Mad Sandpiper (R.I.P)
We made some amazing music. My brother Creole just posted a few videos with a couple of our joints.
The first joint Im sharing with you is called “For The Pickens” S/O to Big Rub on the production. We did this song in one room, with one mic and an Sp1200. WOW!!! Rumor has it that the SP1200 that we used was passed all around Chicago and people like Kanye, No Id and I know for a fact Extreme used it. We did this song in one take.
The next joint is called “Clouds Of Smoke” The back story to this one is actually pretty deep. If you listen to Creoles verse he touches on it. I was a bit more taken back by the situation and created the hook that you hear and my tone in the verse is kinda agitated. S/O to Big Rub for producing this.
It was so much fun making music then just because of the process. We would go to the studio with samples and come out with great songs. Check out “Clouds of Smoke” below.
I continue to make music because of these brothers. There is still so much to accomplish and I continue to hold the torch for Nubearth. This is my family.
ALL OF YOU ARE SO AWESOME!!! WE MADE IT TO THE TOP 12…they added 2 extra spots to the group cause the count was so high! We are almost there!!! I am so humbled by this.
I am so appreciative and grateful! Ryan Spaulding of “Ryans Smashing Life’ and Adam Duritz of “The Counting Crows” listen to the songs and pick both winners.
Out of over 3500 entries!!! I could not have done this with out YOU!!!! Lets focus our energy on this TOP SPOT!!! LETS GO!!!!! WOOOOOOOO!!!!

Welcome to the seventh topic in this series entitled What Ladies Love.
Last weeks question was “How do you know when the person you are with is the one?“Everyone has their own perspective as to who “The One” is. One thing I notice is that as individuals many of us have so many requirements or expectations when it comes to others. However the truest source of our happiness is within us. It matters how we see ourselves. What makes us who we are? Are we just one way or are there many facets to who we are?
The questions have been very general as of late, however this segment is called What Ladies Love. In the spirit of staying true to this segment I present you with this weeks question. “If a dress could describe your personality, would you be a black mini, a pinstriped business suit or a ball gown? Explain. (Don’t feel like you are restricted to these choices.)
I’m anticipating some great response to this question. Check out the responses below. Leave a comment. I’m curious as to what you think of yourself. :-)
Renee said: “Ok, I’m like a chameleon with styles. A business suit could be the better, although I’d be comfortable in all picks.”
Nakisha said: “The black mini represents my youthfulness and playfulness. I am a fun loving girl. That down to earth girl, I got your back your back girl. My ball gown is my mature womanhood. I am wife, mom and whatever my man desires of me. The pinstripe suit is the “I will kick your ass with my knowledge, conversation peace of mind and stamina side of me.”
Robyn said: “I would be a sundress, because they are sexy without even trying.”
Ebonie said: “If I was to have a dress that would describe me it would actually be a pinstripe suit mini skirt with an exquisite blouse underneath the suit blazer jacket. I say this because I wear so many hats. I’m a woman of diversity. I do so many things like most women do. We play so many roles in the lives of people around us and still have the time to look good, feel good even with that S on her chest. I can adapt and blend in anywhere, anytime at any moment.”
Now since I’m a guy…I would say that the best way to describe my personality is urban business casual. I think I just coined a new term…HA! I consider my personality all encompassing, meaning I’m not one particular way all the time. I think that’s the beauty of being alive. Our experiences help to shape who we are and our perspective. I feel as though when we are being who we truly are at all times that it will always align us with the right people. Now tell me what you think. Leave a comment below.
DON’T FORGET!!! “Ladies Love Mixtapes” the Ep is dropping in February of 2013!!! Take a listen/buy the lead single “Take Our Time (Right Away)” produced by Tye Hill below.

Welcome to the sixth topic in this series entitled What Ladies Love.
Last weeks question was “What is your idea of a soulmate? How do you know when you have found yours? Have you found yours?” What I love about doing this blog aside from being able to promote the release of my Ep “Ladies Love Mixtapes” is that so many of the responses I get are so honest and no one is pulling any punches. I never knew that there were so many different perspectives to the idea of a soulmate. Who knew that you could have met your soulmate and it does not have to be romantic. Thank you to all of you who took time to answer last weeks question.
This weeks question was presented to me by Ashley Webb. Here it is…..
Question
How do you know when the person you are with is the one?
Ashley is either looking for the one, or she has found the one. AWESOME either way. Check out a few comments below. Post comments. Im curious as to what you may think. :-)
Yolanda said: “When you love them for their perfections and flaws. They become your best friend and you can’t go a day without thinking about them and hearing their voice. You just know….”
Fabian said: “When that person fills in every part of you life that was empty and makes you better than before.”
Camrin said: “Hmmm, I believe I will know if the person is the one by the way they treat me not only while I am in their presence but also when we are not together. Is he just as attentive as he was when we first met? Is he selfless and appreciative in the relationship. Will he make me smile more than he would make me cry. I believe “the one” for me is not perfect but he would be the perfect one for me.”
Tanisha said: “So my disclaimer is that the answer to this question is currently still being defined and I know many may find too esoteric. However, “the one”? Im not even sure there is One. My simple answer is you cant know the one until you know who you really are. True love is not selective or exclusive. Exclusivity is not the love of God but ego. I think there is a perfect and divine mate for everyone and for me, you will know your true mate when you stop seeking. Seeking is the antitheses to happiness but most important when he reveals himself you instantly recognize yourself in the other. This is a big statement because so many of us don’t really know who we are? Everything I covet, love, trust, security and 100 other things I have to realize reside in me. You allow “the one” to come into your life because there is no ego, desire and wanting. The one will give me joy which arises within me vs. pure pleasure that can only be obtained in some seeking outside of me or through someone else.”
Pam said: “My Guy has my back , through good times and bad I know he is the One!!!!”
From my perspective I would say the person who accepts you for who you are totally is the one. I would venture to say that we have all entered into relationships with our “representative” painting the best possible picture of who we are. However we all have quirks and imperfections. Im all about building a partnership and a team. We have to know who we are inside and out. Only the ONE will be able understand this. Thats just a bit of my 2 cents. I am more interested in what you think. Leave a comment below!

Welcome to the fifth topic in this series entitled What Ladies Love.
Last week I asked “When is the right time to introduce your mate to your children? How do you do it?” I can tell by many of the responses and the comments that I read that our children are paramount in our lives. We should take precaution when involving them in our relationships. Many of the choices we make for our own lives affect our children deeply. Thank you to all of you who took the time to answer last weeks question.
This weeks question comes from my cousin Cool V. I think thats awesome because the ladies have been asking fo some input by the gentleman. So…Here it is!!…..
Question
What is your idea of a soulmate? How do you know when you have found them? Have you found your soulmate?
Cool V has had the privilege of finding his soulmate. WAY TO GO CUZ!!! Check out a few comments below. Leave comments. Im curious to read what you think. :-)
Ebonie said: “To me I think people misconstrue what a real soul mate is. To me it’s not a perfect person it’s not the perfect man is the person who takes all of your fault and looks at you for who you are and said I still want to be with that person I can be with that person forever no matter what if they’d never changed from this day forth that is the person for me. And vise versa. Everything in your being attractions to this person no matter if they make you mad one day piss you off to next that person is forever connected to you by some type of force and if it’s not something that you can let go. You will fight to the ends of the earth to stay with this person. And that person will also fight for you. What you lack they make up and vise versa. That’s my take on it.”
Danita said: “My idea of a soul mate is someone who you honestly are not seeking out but someone who lives you for who you are. The love that is shared may be unknown to the woman but as it says in the Bible…a man is suppose to seek his wife and not the other way around. You have to be patient and wait. You can not rush or try to make someone your soul mate. It’s natural!!”
Charlene said: “Good question. I believe you will just know. It is something I can’t put into words. I believe in soul mates only because I have seen people so connected to each other they must be soul mates.”
Gwen said: “A soulmate is someone who is totally connected to you mentally physically and emotionally. You know you have found that person when they instinctively know what and how you are feeling as do you there is an ease of communication..and yes i have found mine.”
Carmella said: “Our souls must be connected to God in order to be directed to our Soulmate. You must both put God first in order to Love each other! Remember God Is Love! I knew I found mine when his love for God was as deep as mine! I also believe the eyes are the key to our souls and the truth. No matter our differences our flaws we will stay strong as long as our foundation (Which is God) can not be destroyed. What God put together may no man tear under! So stop looking for perfect love in imperfect people and let him lead the way!”
I love that these ladies are being so honest. As for me, at one time I thought that I did find my soulmate.However I was mistaken. I still believe they do exist. Sometimes I think I forced the issue as if I wanted this person to be ment for me so bad that they had to be my soulmate. I must admit I am kind of a romantic at heart. What I think is important is that the idea of the search has to be eliminated. I feel as though we are always connected to the people that we should be connected to. The moment that we come across the one who is the mate for our souls, our soul will tell us. I get excited just thinking about that moment. Anyway…I want to read what you you have to say about the subject. Leave a comment below. –Precise

Welcome to the first in this series entitled What Ladies Love.
Question:
What is your idea of a great first date?
I received a few answers from some close friends.
Tara said:
“My idea of a great first date would be: Sunday morning church service followed by good conversation over a nice brunch and a movie to end the afternoon!”
Qi said:
“Its would involve lots of laughs flowers Dark Chocolate :) & wine~”
Nicole said:
“A relaxed setting, great convo and a few drinks.”
Samantha said:
“Respectfully, he comes to pick me up. His smell and dress excite me to look even more forward to who walks beyond this presentation. He opens doors, has me walk on the inside, everything done as a gentleman would. Upon driving away, immediately he lets me know that he knows his music because the sounds of Eric Roberson and Frank McComb are the background to our conversation to dinner. We eat over live jazz. He’s attentive, he listens, then responds accordingly. Steppin’ our little 2-step afterward could reveal physical chemistry that compliments our comfort and conversation thus far. And at this point he has referenced several things he’s noticed about me, but have never left my lips to his ears. We then leave to to walk the lakefront to just enjoy each others company. We talk music, politics, God, and a few “When I was little…” stories. He brings me home, showing that he expects nothing in return, but expresses how we must do this again. We hug just before I go inside. :-)”
Shyi said:
“A man that knocks on the door when he picks me up. Looking nice with a rose be it white or red. Dinner at a nice restaurant. Dancing. Something like reggae or romantic like salsa. Or see sum belly dancing or a belly dancing class where she can show a sexy side. A walk in the park. Then talking on the way home as he walks me to the door. Gives me a kiss on the cheek or forehead.”
Opinions vary on this one. I would love to hear what you think.
Feel free to answer in the comments.
