WAPP.

YO! I wanted to put up an instrumental here to show what some of my Hip-Hop sounds like. A lot of you have heard the slower r&b music (Thank y'all SO much for the support on the joint with Sharmelle). Maybe you've been to the myspace (/stephenspencer) and heard music there.

The thing about the myspace music is, for the longest, I've literally been having meetings with some of my closest friends, just to decide what music should go up on there.

(When you put complete songs on the internet, people can steal it, easy! So my friends would decide what songs were considered "good enough" but not the "Cream of the crop" in their opinions. That way, if someone stole it, it wouldn't be the worst thing in the world.)

But, I called my good friend, Zach Alias (I swear I only know a few Zach's lol), over to see what he felt was a hella dope track, straight up, so i could put that on here.

Here's what he selected. All feedback is good feedback. Hope you enjoy!

OK! Now to the music!

My Homegirl, Sharmelle. You meet her and her personality speaks for her. You know she sings before she sings, you know she's cool before she speaks. We talked about doing a project together and were slow to start it. Once we did, it was the fastest, most effortless process, and we came up with this...

I'ma quote some Outkast to describe her voice. "...Smooth as a hotcomb on nappy ass hair."

Stats:

Verses written by Sharmelle

All singing by Sharmelle

Instrumental by Stephen Spencer

Hook written by Stephen Spencer

(Snapple fact: This is her first solo song. Que?!)

Tell your people and their people. Enjoy!

What's in a name

Aight, so the blog is "Stephen Spencer, PhD." The PhD is sort of a combination of a nickname that I got, and the way I/ a couple of my folk view our love for music.

"PH" is a nickname I got from my homeboy, Zach Lawrence, from college, because I spell my name like "StePHen". Clever, right?? Lol, not really, but I like it and it stuck (Yes, if you call me PH, I will def respond).

Putting a D at the end of it is meant to look like a Doctorate type deal. A couple of my ppl and I see ourselves as biggg music nerds. Nerds>good grades>thooooose degrees! Aaaight? If there was question on it, I hope that cleared it up. Not sure if I'ma start going by "Stephen Spencer, PhD" yet or not. Kind of a dope concept... Time will tell. If you have my info, gimme your opinion on it! Much appreciated!

What Uuup!

What's goin on peoples? I gotta admit, I'm not much for blogging, but I do think there's a dope advantage to having one place where updates can be kept for someone's most recent events and successes. So with that, this blog is born!

I won't be venting or sharing any personal feelings, here. However, I will be putting up projects that I've either produced or written lyrics for as they come up. Hope you enjoy the ride! It's a crazy hustle and its MAD fun to be a part of.
