First post of 08'

And it's a solid month late...
Greetings once again from your friendly
neighberhood activist, yours truely, the
B-U-D-Z. I know around here we have a tradition
of not making post for a really long time,
then promising everything will be more common
place when we do, then not doing it; hopefully
I won't be doing that again. And by that
I mean hopefully I can keep this a bit more
updated than I used to, one of my many resolutions
for this year.
So lets get into some news shall we? Obviously
I am a bit behind schedule with my mixtape.
My original plans were to kind of just shoot
the sucker out in a month or two using some
lyrics I had written but never found a song
for, recycling some lyrics from songs that
ended up on the cutting room floor, etc.
What I found out though once I got going
was that working with high quality beats
I was turning up the heat myself. Suddenly
using old lyrics seemed unworthy and I began
to write an entire album from scratch. The
process has churned out some of the best
tracks I have ever made, and has really
inspired me to do the best possible job
on this still ultimately free album. The
downside though is this means taking more
time on it.
This was all made even harder when my laptop,
which is essentially my studio, crashed
in early December. First I attempted to
convert my PC into the new studio with no
luck, I eventually had to break down and
by a new hard drive, which took a while
to arrive due to the holidays, and then
re-install all the software (Including about
6 years of windows updates) onto the damn
machine which added even more time. It now
appears to be running well, and I will be
doing my first recording on the new hard-drive
(which is slightly faster) in the coming
week.
I have a couple of tracks with fellow underground
Wisconsin artist, and old friend, Mo
Foley in the works right now, as well
as two tracks with Big C, a track for DJ
Electro's mixtape "Bumpin 10 feet
under" and a verse on a super collab
for the same project. (My buddy Special
Agent C and I will also be helping with
the CD art/package, which will be very pimp
when it is all said and done)

Oh and if you haven't already, go check
out the first single for the Eve of a Revolution
Mixtape, "Raise Your Fist In The Air"
on the Dark
Ninjas myspace page!
Peace out,
-Budz'

Finally Some News
|
|
|
It wouldn't be Dark Ninjas.com if the
updates didn't come almost monthly now would
it. We've had some site issues lately so
the site was down for a bit then unable
to be updated for a bit longer, but by the
time you're reading this everything is good
to go again.
In
site news I added the Bio for Odic Khan,
check that out here.
Kid I've known for a while now and we did
a track together called Bushism. Think you
can guess the subject matter. You'll find
that track as well as many others featuring
a whole shit ton of talented mother fuckers
on the "Dark Ninjas Project" album.
I also updated 5:am's bio to include todays
major news announcement; an exclusive online
track from me and 5:am called Wannabe!

www.Myspace.com/DarkNinjas
www.Myspace.com/5am203
Make sure you check out that carpet bombing
of wackness.
The other big news item this
week is the announcement of my solo project.
Now I've been advertising on the left side
of the site here for a while about the "And
a Revolution Occurs" album, but what
I've never said before is that AaRO is acctually
just volume 2 in a 3 album struggle for
freedom!
Thats right, the first volume, "Eve
of a Revolution" should be available
by the end of the summer absolutely free!
Thats right, I said free. EoaR, unlike AaRO
will be a mixtape of some of the hottest
mainstream beats, a few old school beats,
and a few beats taken from some of the undergrounds
hottest producers. The plan is to release
this album before the Dark Ninjas Project,
then comes the verbal assault that is "And
a Revolution Occurs." The third volume
is to be named at a later date and time.
Peace out,
-Budz'

Over Due Update
|
|
|
So it has been way too long since an update
of any significant meaning. I wish DN could
be my only responsibility in life, but sadly
it is far from true and we often fall a
bit behind in keeping you guys "in
the know" around here. With that in
mind, here is the best I can do to update
you on whats new. (That kind of rhymed)
Still trying to put together the finshing
touches on the "wannabe" track,
basically just need 5:am's verse, again,
to make it 100%. If things don't get done
in the next week I'll probably just release
a more ghetto quality, but still overflowing
with freshness version of our "carpet
bombing of whackness" sometime soon.
An old acquiantance of ours has come back
around, this time instead of rapping he's
producing, and I'm hopefull that a couple
of his tracks combined with me and a few
other artist vocals may prove to be the
final chapter in the production of "The
Dark Ninjas Project."
On that note, me and Big C are hoping to
collab a few more times in the final half
of this process. We already have two tracks
planned, one a very offensive (the way I
like it) take on the bible's use throughout
history, and the other a track we are possibliy
doing for a friend of mine's indie movie
"Take a Shot" called "Light
up the Room." The song should appear
on the album either way, but we will keep
you informed if it becomes part of the movie.
On the note of movies, I will be partaking
in a contest called 48 hr film the weekend
of the 20th in Madison, Wisconsin. I am
looking for any artist that may be intersted
in having their music in the film. We are
looking for all types, but the music MUST
belong entirely to you and you will have
to sign a release form giving us permission
to use it. Time is essential, so if you
are intersted, hit me up at Budz@darkninjas.com
or drop me a line on myspace at www.Myspace.com/DarkNinjas.
Peace out,
-Budz'

Why We Fight!
|
|
|
Yo, what up fools? Budz here, been on a
bit of a hiatus the last month or so, which
is really just a fancy way to say been to
busy to do shit. Got a few new banging beats
done, going to be matching them up with
artist I think can do the best, most dope,
job on them, and hopefully be cutting a
few new tracks soon.
Thought I'd start off by telling all of
you to check out this amazing documentary
I was privy to watching the other day. It's
called Why
We Fight, and it examines the imperiallistic
mind-set of America in about the most balanced
way anyone can tell us how fucked up we
all are. The web page is http://www.sonyclassics.com/whywefight,
so go check it out then tell a friend.
You may, or may not, notice a few small
changes with the whole Dark Ninjas thing
too. Original plans to release both a Budz'
McGee solo album and the Dark Ninjas album
may be a bit too much to accomplish in my
already hectic schedule. So what you may
see is an album that makes a bit more sense
to the casual observer. So don't be surprised
if you see "Budz' McGee presents Dark
Ninjas - Dark Ninjas Project" come
album time. There'll be a couple of solo
tracks mixed in with all the collabs. Either
way, it'll come hard.
Lastly, be on the look out soon for a brand
new track that may only be online, I haven't
yet decided. A little thing I did with 5:am
called "Wannabe" aimed at a few
too many individuals to call it a battle
track, so we'll just call it a "carpet
bombing of whackness".
Peace out,
-Budz'

Welcome to the new Dark
Ninjas.com!
|
|
|
Greetings Everyone, it's Budz' back on
the DN.com website and it sure feels good
to be updating something that doesn't have
the words "myspace" in the URL.
The site is still going under alot of construction
and I have a few plugs to fill, both online
and off *insert induendo*, but we should
be up and running at full speed in no time.
In honor of the site being up and running
again we have 3 tracks up for download,
including one premiering with this site.
The soon to be underground hit, "Underground
Warriors" featuring Intrinzik,
5:am, Greenhand and myself! The track is
pure fire, so make sure you download that
before it ignites our whole web server.
Don't forget to check out
the exlusive remix on the "Underground
Sound"!
Also available is the already platinum
download track "Set
It Off" featuring Kippa and myself,
and the track that started it all, "Get
Up (Blaze it Up)." All of this
can be found in the MEDIA
section.
In addition to that we've also got a brand
new shirt of the month, celebrating the
huge collab that is "Underground
Warriors" in the online
store. Since it's already late august
I'll extend it's time frame a bit. But it'll
still only be there till Nov 1st so if you
like what you see, don't waste time counting
them pennies.
Hopefully this time around we'll keep updating
a bit more frequently, including stuff in
the Secret Stash,
the peverbial vault of random crap for you
to enjoy. So keep checking back and be on
the look out for new tracks!
-Budz
