GOOD DAY AT THE PLATE

Today I had a baseball game. I DH'd the whole game. I went 2 for 3, with two rbi's, one stolen base and one run scored. I used my old trusted bat "Joe Black"! He came through for me. The score of the game was 12-3.

Now I am in the studio listening to a beat I just made and contemplating what I will write and record over it. I holla at y'all when it's done.

FROM THE CHEST

What's good. I went back into Casino Beno Studio yesterday!! That's two days in a row!

I recorded two new songs. One I had written and already produced but never recorded. The name of that song is "Open Up". It is just a song about me not giving up, because "One Verse can make the Universe Open Up to me in a way that I want in regards to people hearing the message in my music."

The second song is called "From The Chest". That song I wrote the beat on the spot and then wrote the rap. I like recording like this the best, because it is the most spontaneous experience and there is no over thinking. It is just the realest experience.

You can hear the songs at the following link.

I hope you enjoy them.

I LIKE WHAT I HEAR!!!

So last night I recorded four new songs. And today, I listened to them over and over and over again. That is a pretty good sign that I like them. LOL
I posted them up on my website at http://www.eadymusicgroup.com/benosongaweekproject2.html.

I left my studio feeling better than I had in weeks. I drew inspiration from a video that I saw on www.dajaz1.com. It was a video of P.Diddy and Lil Wayne talking about their work ethic. And it inspired me, because you get out of this, what you put into it. So I made my mind to put everything I have into this. Shout out to Diddy and Wayne for even sharing those motivational words. Who would have ever known the impact they would have on my life at this time. I can't never knock them. LOL.

Now I am back in the studio. Let's see what happens next!

One Love,


Beno

What do we have here?

Thursday, June 26, 2008
Last night I got back on my horse and recorded FOUR songs.

The first song was called "Hit Da Studio" in which I took a sampleof Tupac from "To Live and Die in L.A."

The second song is called "Tomorrow Never Comes", because it doesnt. The only thing we have is the here and now!

The third song was "Main Attraction" by Mario, which is an unreleased song that I just hopped on and recorded.

And the last song, is called "Gotta Get Me".

I started at about 6 p.m. and finished at about 12 p.m.

I'm Back. This is not a hobby!

Wednesday, June 25, 2008
Today I am getting back on my grind and recording my music. I plan to go hard everyday. I am not going to take my eye offof the ball! It is so easy to get sidetracked from your dreamsand passions, doing things that are important. Like chilling out,watching TV, working late, shopping, etc. But nothing is moreimportant to me than making my dreams come true, and provingthat this is not a mere hobby for me. This is my life. So I amnot sure what this recording session will hold or what song willcome out, I know I will be bumping something new come tomorrow.Pray for me!--Beno

R.I.P. Chad Butler pka Pimp C of UGK

A lot can happen in a week. Within a two day span, I learned that Spice 1 was shot and almost killed. And then I learned that Pimp C had passed away two days later. I am praying for both families, because, I can only imagine what they are going through. God is good. I know Spice 1 will make a full comeback, because he has always been grounded in the faith and in prayer. I also feel the same way about Pimp C. I really came to like Pimp C more and more as I read everyone of his articles in Ozone Magazine. The name of his column was called "The Chronicles of PIMP C". Since I promote the magazine here in Albuquerque, New Mexico, I really felt an allegiance to what he was doing, and he did it very well! His column became the first thing that I would look to in the magazine, and the first thing that I would promote about the magazine. He was a true believer in himself and what he had to say, and a role model in that regard. Pimp C was able to come out of prison, and take advantage of all of the opportunities that lay before him. And whatever he did, he did it to the fullest, not worrying about what others would think. And what I really appreciated about him was his ability to admit to his mistakes and apologize and keep it moving. Many people love to take people's words out of context and make it bigger than it is, and this was the case many times with PIMP C's Ozone Articles. But he definitely stood behind what he was saying, and when he knew people could not understand what he was really saying, he was diplomatic and smooth enough to acquiesce a little bit and keep it pushing. PIMP C and Bun B exemplify loyalty that is rarely seen in the music industry today. You cannot think about PIMP C without thinking of BUN B. You never heard Bun B or PIMP C speak ill of each other. They only supported and encouraged each other to do and be better while representing people of the world who chose UGK to be their voice. So I feel that Bun B should be surrounded in prayer and given the proper respect that is due to him for the example that he and PIMP C set for every rap artist new and old!I could continue to speak on this, because I see so much good, even in the midst of this hard time for The Butler family. But I will say Rest in Peace PIMP C. I know you are among the best that the earth has ever seen and looking for a studio to record in in heaven. May you continue to look and offer guidance to our generation from a better place. You said you had a pocket full of stones…! You turned those stones into diamonds and rubies for all of us to us. Thank you brother! Job well done!
Respectfully and Prayerfully Submitted,

Beno-other, M.B.A.

What's up family. I just wanted to drop a link to songwriter/singer Canary Sterling's song Closet Freak. It has been getting good feedback, but I would like to know what you think.

We hope you had a great Thanksgiving. And for those who were brave enough to get up at four in the morning and go shopping, that is mad impressive.

Thankful for another Thanksgiving

Happy holidays for the people that celebrate them. And for those that do not, not a big problem. My message today, is whether you celebrate this particular holiday or not, is that we can and should still be thankful. A lot of times, we forget the "reason for the season". We must admit, that we have come along way from where we were. Many things have improved. Better technology, bigger, flyer automobiles and greater freedom to act a fool. Yet and still many of us are not thankful for the many blessings that we have for dolo and the blessings that we have to share.

So on that Thanksgiving day, as you sit with your favorite drink in hand after stuffing yourselves silly, be thankful at this moment. Be thankful that you are in a warm home, surrounded by people who love you and cared enough about you to share this particular day with you.

Being thankful should not just end with the end of Thanksgiving. Make everyday a day to be thankful, even in the times of trouble. For you know where your strength comes. Be thankful for the good and the bad, because there are lessons to be learned and strength to be gained in your experiences.

I pray that you have a joyous and wonderful thanksgiving day and that you remain thankful for the year that is passing and the year to come.

One Love,


Beno
