Myself and Mr. Miranda are ready to drop our duo album “The Memorandum” this DECEMBER!

You remember the first single “Wednesday,” right?

“Planet Silk” is a tribute to the smooth, flashy styles of some of our favorite artists, from Big Daddy Kane to Camp Lo and beyond. It’s produced by AZ’s own Mute, and has scratches from the great DJ LES735.

Album coming soon, be ready!

Update #1 from Michigan:

We’re in Nebraska now, a place that I’ve never thought I’d be traveling through, and I had an opportunity to meet a man who has been supportive since day one, holding down 2 sites that I’ve visited ever since I knew what the internet was, RapReviews.com and OHHLA, the Online Hip Hop Lyrics Archive. Steve “Flash” Juon interviewed us at Legend Comics in Omaha, check it out!

Part 1

Part 2

The best thing of all is that both Chris and Lars are representing 2 huge and awesome causes, join the fight!

FIGHT CYSTIC FIBROSIS

FIGHT SUICIDE!

About this project (from K-Murdock)

Well party people, here we are again! This time myself and Random (bka Mega Ran) are back and need your help as we are trying to take our “Bits & Rhymes” live show to Europe as we were recently invited to perform at the famed London Anime Con which goes down THIS coming July 30th and 31st! The caveat was we had to raise the money to get over to Europe ourselves which is why we are back on Kickstarter

Ironically, both Ran and I have passports that have never been stamped ;( and feel like this would be a great way to expand the Forever Famicom experience we started last year stateside as there’s many fans abroad who don’t get to see us live… namely in the UK! Money we raise will go toward plane tickets, lodging and definitely memory cards for our digital cameras AND depending how much we raise in the end possibly bringing along extended music fam like Lost Perception, producer of the Final Fantasy 7 tribute project Black Materia, and Random’s longtime dj/producer DN3 to help make this experience more epic!

On top of performing at the Con, we would make the most of our European excursion by videotaping the whole trip to create a DVD (including any other performances we manage to do while in the UK, sightseeing, etc) which will then be given to those who back us at a certain level. We have even decided to do more fan requested commission tracks a la the last campaign.

Other perks for supporting this campaign include advance copies of BOTH our forthcoming projects: Ran’s TeacherRapperHero Pt. 2 mixtape (mixed by DN3) my new EP- The Ronin, which both won’t be out till summer! PLUS Ran and i have even decided to give away the actual microphone and sampler we used to record/create ALL of the songs for Forever Famicom to a pair of lucky backers!

We even got packages that will bring the Bits and Rhymes experience straight to you with us performing LIVE at your house/apartment/basement/backyard/office… and maybe we can even get in a few matches on Halo, Modern Warfare or Marvel vs. Capcom… pick your poison

AND we even have a “ULTIMATE FAN” package for 1 lucky backer where you can travel with us to London to be a part of this experience too!!! that means you’ll be in the aforementioned DVD we are making!!!

No matter what level u get in on, any support is appreciated and in the end helps us get closer to you all- the fans!

VERY IMPORTANT to note that if we don’t raise enough money to meet the stated goal ($2500), then any and all money WILL NOT be withdrawn from your account!

So it’s London or bust yall!

Ran, K-Murdock, Lost, DN3

also peep myself and Mr. Miranda’s video for Wednesday!

I did it. Today at work, I put in my 2 weeks notice.

I won’t be teaching anymore after this month.

I really did it. I’m shook.

the letter was typed, and sent:

To Whom It May Concern,

Raheem Jarbo

wow. I can’t believe I typed that. but I do believe it’s time.

With everything going on around me, it’s getting too difficult to maintain both at (what I believe to be) a high level. So, I’m taking the ultimate leap of faith and trying my hand at music full time.

So I set up a donation system for those of you who want to help keep the studio lights on… I’m super grateful in advance, and I’ll be sending out gifts to donors all throughout the year, so keep an eye out.

donate here!

*if you wanna mail me something, like coupons or Ramen noodles, get @ me for the P.O. Box address, haha.

I’m thankful of all the love I’ve gotten thus far, and I think it’ll continue, but it’s a scary thought leaving behind the only consistent thing you’ve had in your life. so yeah, I’m scared…cautiously optimistic, if you will.

I know it won’t be easy. Hey, who knows, maybe it won’t last…but one thing’s for sure. I won’t stop teaching. Thank you for your ears and continued support during this crazy transition period.

still your TeacherRapperHero
