A cameo appearance of THE SWAT TEAM and a 13 year old female in GAINESVILLE, FLORIDA with a rare disease called CLEAR CELL SARCOMA. D'AISHA PORTER, diagnosed at age 11 is one out of ten children in the U.S. with such disease. She is the second case in the Country to enter ST JUDES CHILDREN HOSPITAL and Doctors have declared that there is no more treatments that will cure D'AISHA. Her parents are currently seeking out any help for D'AISHA and has opened arms and welcome KARMA B. FLAME, NOVACANE and the entire staff of RAILROAD RECORDS with hopes to come together to raise awareness on D'AISHA's behalf. THE SWAT TEAM had a chance to be headliner on a benefit show for D'ASHA, performing this original track they wrote especially for her and shooting this video while there. MS PORTER says, "it's now between them and GOD".

So, this is some new territory for tbp...i'll be giving my unsolicited opinion on music, videos and topics...this is the 1st of 2012:

thoughts:

it's a video, so i'll talk about that first...well done, looks really pro, and that's a nice change from some of the absolutely hack videos that are flooding the net...this thing looks like it could be broadcast asap. 

like the track, like the theme, story and the artist has a believability...interesting flow, although i'm not sure its consistent...seems like his style is developing and he is searching for his identity...it may be time to just believe in his own voice and use it...shows a lot of potential.

it's a little long. wouldn't mind seeing/hearing a radio edit comin' in about 3:30..the little girl is awesome...i'd love to see more of this quality on youtube, but it's such a crapshoot i don't bother searching.

Description on youtube:

"For some choosing a career is not always taking a right and following the signs... sometimes taking the the detour is your only choice in order to have a chance to get your foot in the door of an industry that is not looking at where you went to school for a shot at one of the most sort after careers in this day and age. This is the story of Man-u-ill an CT artist that is currently in the midst of his journey. This look into his life , his art and future career is one that is often lived but never told."

NEARLY EVERYONE HAS PLACED THEIR HAND ON A MUSIC INSTRUMENT OR SUNG ALONG WITH THEIR FAVORITE SONG AT SOME TIME IN THEIR LIFE. FOR SOME, IT'S A NEAR "OUT OF BODY" EXPERIENCE. TRANSFORMATIONAL, EVEN AT A REALLY YOUNG AGE. THIS MIGHT BE YOU. OR YOU MIGHT BE THE PERSON WHO WORKED OUT A LITTLE RIFF OR CHORD PROGRESSION ON A GUITAR AND YOU THINK YOU'VE GOT SOMETHING..MAYBE YOU DO, MAYBE YOU DON'T. BUT YOU WILL NEVER REALLY KNOW UNLESS YOU TAKE THAT INSPIRATION FROM THE START, TO WHERE MANY, OR REALLY MOST, FAIL TO GO: THE FINISH. 
HAVE YOU EVER BEEN TO A CONCERT WHERE YOUR FAVORITE ARTIST WALKS UP TO THE MICROPHONE AND SAYS "I'M GOING TO PLAY YOU A SONG FROM MY NEW ALBUM! BUT,IT'S NOT FINISHED YET, I'M STILL WORKING ON THE LYRICS. ALSO, I MIGHT SING IT IN A DIFFERENT KEY WHEN I RECORD IT, BUT I WON'T KNOW UNTIL I GET TOGETHER WITH MY PRODUCER AND HE TELLS ME WHAT TO DO"? I DON'T THINK SO. 
HAVE YOU EVER BOUGHT A NEW SONG ON ITUNES THAT COMES WITH AN EXPLANATION AS TO WHY THE MIX SOUNDS DULL? I DON'T THINK SO. THERE'S NO TEXT MESSAGE THAT COMES WITH THE TUNE THAT SAYS "THE SONG STILL ISN'T MASTERED BUT I WANTED TO SELL IT TO YOU FIRST". 
UNDERSTAND THAT THE AGENDA HERE IS TO HELP YOU FIND YOUR WAY TO A FINISH. TO THAT END, THIS AGENDA APPLIES TO ALL ARTISTS. THE BASEMENT BAND, THE BEDROOM GUITARIST, THE "ONE GIG A MONTH BAND", THE ALT-ROCK BAND WITH AN INDIE LABEL DEAL, THE INTERNATIONAL SUPERSTAR ARE ALL THE SAME IN THE CONTEXT OF MAKING ART. SUCCESS, AND HOW YOU DEFINE IT, IS UP TO YOU. SUCCESS TO SOME WOULD BE TO HAVE ONE SONG RECORDED, MIXED AND MASTERED READY TO BE SENT TO FRIENDS BY EMAIL OR POSTED ON A PERSONAL MUSIC WEBSITE. TO OTHERS IT MAY BE TO ACHEIVE ASTRONOMICAL SALES OF THEIR WORK AND TOUR THE WORLD SUPPORTING IT. TO ANOTHER IT WOULD BE HAVING A FINISHED SONG THAT THEY CAN STRUM ON THEIR GUITAR FOR THEIR GIRLFRIEND OR BOYFRIEND(WITH ANY INTENTION OF EVER RECORDING IT, OR SELLING IT).  
IN A WAY "THE FINISH" IS ACHIEVED WHEN THE SONG OR SONGS IS READY TO BE LISTENED TO BY AN AUDIENCE(EVEN IF THE AUDIENCE IS JUST YOUR DOG), WITH NO CAVEATS...NO, "WELL, I'M NOT QUITE DONE WITH THE VOCAL", NO-"THIS ISN'T THE FINAL MIX", NO-"IT'S NOT MASTERED YET", NO-"I'M STILL WORKING ON THE ARRANGEMENT" ETC, ETC. 
THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF BOOKS, PROGRAMS AND WEBSITES THAT OFFER INFORMATION YOU CAN USE TO HELP TO SOLVE THE MYSTERY OF SELLING YOUR PRODUCT, BE THAT A SINGLE SONG, ALBUM OR WHATEVER YOU DESIRE. HERE, I’M DETERMINED TO HELP YOU FIND THE OPTIMAL WAY FOR YOU TO DELIVER. IF IT'S NOT FINISHED, IT CAN'T BE ON ITUNES . IF IT’S NOT FINISHED, IT CAN'T BE IN A LOCAL RECORD SHOP. YOU CAN'T OFFER IT AS A FREE DOWNLOAD ON YOUR WEBSITE, EVEN IF YOU ARE SO GENEROUS. IT WILL JUST BE TRAPPED ON YOUR HARD DRIVE OR TAPE DECK, OR ONLY IN YOUR HEAD, FOREVER. 
IF YOU FINISH, GOOD OR EVEN GREAT THINGS ARE POSSIBLE; YOU CAN SELL YOUR ART ON ITUNES, AT YOUR SHOWS, IN STORES AND ON YOUR OWN WEBSITE. OR, YOU CAN GIVE IT AWAY! MAYBE THIS IS WHAT YOU WANT TO DO. THERE IS NO WRONG OR RIGHT, BUT YOU DON'T HAVE THESE OPTIONS IF YOU DON'T FINISH. 
FINISHING ALLOWS OTHER THINGS TOO. IT ALLOWS YOU TO EXPOSE YOUR ART TO THE MASSES, OR JUST TO FRIENDS. IT ALLOWS YOU TO MONITOR THE RESPONSE IT GETS FROM DIFFERENT AUDIENCES, RADIO STATIONS(IF YOU'RE LUCKY) AND LISTENERS. WITH THAT FEEDBACK YOU CAN DECIDE TO DO THINGS DIFFERENTLY THE NEXT TIME AROUND OR, MAYBE YOU'VE HIT ON SOMETHING AND THE FEEDBACK IS GREAT........MORE ON THE WAY SOON
