LOD Songs: Decade Instrumental

Haha, I guess I'm making up for lost time, not posting and all. This beat didn't work out in its designated home & I had no other plans for it, so here's where it'll live, for now! Check it out- called it "Decade"

LOD Songs: STC Instrumental

So I decided to call the segment that I tweeted about (@_StephenSpencer) "Light of Day (LOD) Songs." Including songs that, for whatever reason probably won't see the light of day. I promise that the reason will never be lack of quality.

Between not having the session for this anymore & it just being old, I figured this would be a good instrumental to start the LOD songs with. Check it out! Comment, mention, post, RT, share, dance, eat, nap, w/e feels right!

It Really Has Been Too Long

So 'nuff of the talkin!

What it do!?

Eyyy! Apologies for being MIA, good people. Its difficult to find sessions that we can film when you're so focused on placing each song. I'm happy and proud to say that many more projects are coming up, some of which I am guaranteed to post up here! Starting with this.

This is a video of a session for a song that we built around, writer, G-Smoove's (@G_Smoove) song concept. He came to us for the instrumental and to help come up with the lyrics, so here we are! Having fun doing what we love. Take a look! #Proud #GoodTimes @_StephenSpencer. Follow my homies/teammates @DenaliNOVA & @Theory_SK, too! Dope folk, they be.

Random & Meaningless May Update, lol. Why not?

¡GodPod&WhoKnowsWhatYouMightTry!

Aight there's this dope blog, godpod.tumblr.com. They describe the dopeness they post, in their bio, better than I ever could; but there's SO much dopeness on there. GodPod recently got a hold of one of my instrumentals and put a really cool/kind post about it. Big shoutouts to GodPod for that. It's a big privilege to be amongst all that good music. Much appreciateddd. Check it out!

1.24.11

Monday it is! Fortunate that things are working out so soon. Feel free to call at any point during the day. I'm leaving stupid early and won't be gettin in 'til crazy late at night, so phone calls will be necessary, useful and appreciated lol.

Oh oh oh ALSO. A cool idea I had: Since it's a long trip, if anyone wants to/could make me a CD mixtape of dopeness, I think that'd be the illest thing ever. Cool way to help time pass by; hear some classic music or maybe find out about new artists/songs. If you can, hook me up! That's it for now. Talk with you soon!

Where We Stand

I wish I could put more up. The move is taking up a lot of time. Once I reach point B, I will do my best to get some good music/news up as soon/often as possible.

On the day of the move, I will be driving solo for 15 hours. Don't ask why, but this was my choice, haha. Some kind of symbolic start to a new chapter. Who knows. Regardless, I'll put up here the day that I will definitely be moving. It keeps changing. The only guarantee is that I'll be gone before February.

The day I do finally leave, if you have my number, feel free to call me up. Remember, 15 hrs solo. I ain't goin anywhere. This may be the one time I enjoy being on the phone for long periods of time, lol. If you don't have my number and wanna shoot me a call, msg me or contact one of my friends that do have it. It'd be good to hear from you!

Apologies for not having any music attached to this one. Soooon. Thanks for reading!

p.s. If you can make it to the NJ area this Saturday, good ol' Josh is throwing a going away party. FB fam, go to the invite on my wall and hit 'attending'. Twamily, just ask, lol. Peace.

What's goin on y'all! Aight, so if you're with me on Facebook/Twitter (@_StephenSpencer)you've probably seen some of these already; but maybe not all of'm. I recently had the opportunity to work with Jersey based rapper, J Star. He's a good friend of the person who got me into music. It took forever and a week, but we finally were able to get the time to collaborate on some solid Hip-Hop! I started on an instrumental that turned into the following:

Soon after recording the song and releasing the this video, The FAM Records/ J Star camp followed up with this promotional video, to get the energy buzzing for the single. They did their thing!

Now with all that being said, here is the finished product! Recorded, Mixed, and best of all? AVAILABLE FOR DOWNLOAD! Much respect to J Star and his whole family/team over there. Rumor has it they'll be making this his single and making an official music video soon so keep an eye out. Play/Download/Enjoy!

The Other Side

In hindsight, the title of this song is kind of ironic. I'm always releasing music that I make, producingly (yeah I make my own words up. Don't judge me). This is the first time I'm showing y'all a finished product from the other side (riiight?), the songwriter side of things!

Super excited for a bunch of reasons- new opportunities, new music made, new lyrics written, mad stuff. I wanted to show you guys how I write. Reading the lyrics is one thing. But to actually hear it, finished... gives solid understanding of how the writer wanted it portrayed.

That being said, I give you a song I wrote, titled The Other Side, performed by, the ever so talented, Ms. Terry Lovette (@OOOSHECUNT). Feel free to follow a brother (@_StephenSpencer)! Any questions? Holla at me wherever you find it easiest to reach me.

Bittersweeeeet!

'Evening Y'all. Hope all is well. As some of you know, Sharmelle Hunte and I were scheduled to be guests on Shovio.com's "87 Blocks From the Apollo" online radio show, yesterday at 7pm (if you tuned in, thank you SO much. They had more viewers that normal, I heard. You are appreciated). Due to a collision that took place... approaching the GWB... DURING RUSH HOUR (REALLY?), we weren't able to make it to the station in time.

The show went on as it must and turned out fine. They played our music, really gave us a good word, and we got positive feedback from all angles. If you missed it, like we did, here is the link to the video of the show. Its roughly a half hour clip and we start getting mentioned around 20:22.

Big thank you to Ysmael and Jorge for their support and kind words, as well as the positivity they gave on the music after the show. Y'all are ill for that!

Good Day!!

Yo Yo! Hope all is well with y'all. Yesterday was a pretty dope day! I had my people swing through for the day just to kick it. Kickin it, in the studio, turned into them gettin the idea to do some cover songs of some of their favorite joints (inspiration is never hard to find in a studio, haha).

So they (Sha (@SHazzyLove) and Terry Lovette (@OOOSHECUNT)) got their vocals on, and I (@SSPhD) picked up the instruments, and we went at it! Beautiful time rockin out with'm. Shout out to my homeboy, Bassell who came through out of nowhere n got on the Trumpet and Josh P. who was kind enough to lend a lil rainstick action, lol. Love my people.

Here's a cover of Tweet's "Smoking Cigarettes" that Sharmelle and I did.

This is the cover of Floetry's "Feelings" that we did featuring Terry Lovette.

Hope y'all enjoyed! Your support for them and I doesn't go unnoticed and is GREATLY appreciated.

Who Knows What You Might Try Mathematics

Whats goin on ppl?

Hope all is well with y'all. Recently I reached my 500th tweet on Twitter (@SSPhD). For things like that, when I catch/ remember'm, I like to do little things as sort of a mini celebration. I'm always lookin' for reasons to celebrate, haha. Sometimes its just a link to something new or a shameless blog plug, but I wanted to accctually do something for this one. So, I created a Mathematics video for my newest instrumental!

It's titled "Who Knows What You Might Try". Kinda hard to tell by what is shown, but it was designed as more of a sexy time track. However, there are smooth elements to go along with some sweeping transitions and a guitar lick for the hook. Hope y'all enjoy it! As always, be sure to tell a friend or post this where you see fit. The unsigned hustle isn't complete until someone has heard it, enjoyed it and passed it on. So, if you enjoy, please do help with the hustle. Your ears and support are more appreciated than I can ever tweet/ blog about. 'Nough said. Have a listen!
