Pole Shift

Pole Shifts Happening Faster than scientist traditionally thought.

Evidence On Mainstream news.

I use to research this before, the ancients mentioned such phenomenon that's why the Mayans were so big on the sun. Let's see what happens.

CNN - Capone n Noreaga

2011-02-07T06:56:00.000-08:00

CNN's (Capone and Noreaga's) debut album the war report was classic. It's nice to see some of the artist I grew up listening to is still creating and dropping music despite the majority of stations playing the same 20 songs in rotation. Enjoy!

This Chinese near year I'll be moving forward on the year of the rabbit. today I'm starting with cleaning the house, the car, only things I somewhat missed is the little red envelopes. Besides the Rabbit is the year of good fortune and prosperity, the perfect year to sweep away ill fortunes. Happy New Years to you all!

Prince and Friends

Prince was one of the artist I grew up listening to regularly. He sure has a 6th sense for talent Vanity, Appolonia, Susan, Brenda , Wendy, Lisa, Sheila E I wish there were such thing as a hot tub time machine I'd take a vacation to the 80's once every few months. But, here are some of my personal favorite Prince influence pieces. Personal 2 favorite camps musical genius's Wendy & Lisa and Vanity.

Unifying

2011-01-31T07:19:00.000-08:00

Being a freelance and independent artist after a while can make anyone jaded. Paranoia sets in and every where you turn people are trying to get over on you for your ability. In most cases from my experience it's true, a majority is consumed by their own selfish desires. But, one must recognize when a good deal is on a table and not let emotions linked from the past fog up judgment. Using logic to understand what's being proposed is important. It seems like that will be the theme of the month for this project I'm proposing. Unifying a divided community is a task that I find rather difficult, and I've yet to be successful in that venture.

Why We are Here ?

2011-01-30T15:39:00.000-08:00

Someone shared their insights with us today and mentioned that we're on this earth to find the perfect spouse. I don't didn't quit agree with that statement. It's suggested that loving each other is one of the few aspects to why we're on this earth, but it isn't the main reason. To break it down we're marked to die as soon as we're conceived, and the great thing about it is death discriminates no being on this plane of existence no matter what religion or degree of success you attain. there are roughly 6.8 billion people currently on earth. Imagine our specific species homo sapians been around for 250,000 years and we have strong historical evidence recorded back to roughly 10,000 ago. This would mean either of two things either there are trillions of souls that go to heaven or hell or there are billions of souls doomed to keep repeating the cycle until we learn and spiritual evolve from this plane of existence. I mention scientifically it's evident their are 11 dimensions and we experience a distorted of reality through our 5 senses. We're not put on this earth just to find a mate that's just a small piece of the whole puzzle. There's a more complex reason, an understanding all of us have the ability to acquire through reflection and leads to that state of being is hidden in different ancient texts.

Heavy On A&E

2011-01-18T00:36:00.000-08:00

Heavy premiered tonight on A&E

I usually am not a big fan of reality TV but after talking to my friend and the change I see in him from that experience I support it 100 percent. Big ups to all the people in the show and I hope you all maintain your new healthy lifestyles.

"A little about the show
Unlike other weight loss series, “Heavy” is not a competition or stunt, but is rooted in the incredible real life day-to-day journeys of the participants during a lengthy treatment program. In order to most accurately document these multiple weight loss journeys over the course of six months and present them individually in one hour..." -A&E

Thuggin it up

Mc Eiht Bio:

Music career ( Wikipedia )

Tyler grew to fame on the West Coast as one of two MCs in the four-man crew, Compton's Most Wanted. After enjoying increasing success with the group, which peaked with 1992's Music to Drive by, Eiht took a role in the hit movie Menace II Society as well as a high-profile spot on the soundtrack. The song, "Streiht Up Menace," which chronicles the unfortunate downturn of the film's protagonist within the pathological conditions of American inner city life, is considered by many critics, to be Eiht's magnum opus. The movie spurred him into a solo career, although his next two albums We Come Strapped and Death Threatz would be accredited as MC Eiht featuring Compton's Most Wanted. He was also part of the Tragniew Park Compton Crips.

He states that he did not wish to star in comedy films in order to maintain his public image. He later only appeared in the low-budget movies "Reasons," "Thicker Than Water" and "Who Made the Potato Salad?" as well as providing the voice for Lance 'Ryder' Wilson in the video game Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.

He put out Last Man Standing, the first album accredited only to MC Eiht, then broke from the label for Big Beat/Atlantic. Eiht never ended up putting out an album on the label, instead eventually signing to and releasing the album Section 8 on Priority in 1999.[3] Eiht would hop between record labels and one-off releases in the next years, moving between independent labels Half-Ounce, D3 Entertainment, and Lookin' Up Entertainment from 2001 to 2003. He would put out records with Spice 1 and Brotha Lynch Hung in 2004 and 2006 on Real Talk Ent., releasing another solo album between them on West Inc./Native Records. His inability to settle at a label contributed to his joining The Warzone, a trio put together by Snoop Dogg and consisting of Goldie Loc, Kam and MC Eiht himself. In 2006, Eiht and the group appeared on the single "Candy (Drippin' Like Water)" on Snoop Dogg's album Tha Blue Carpet Treatment. MC Eiht also appeared with Young Maylay in Blaq Poet's new street single, Ain't Nuttin' Changed (Remix).

West Coast Rap Artist Dresta Da Gangsta

2011-01-12T06:20:00.000-08:00

Dresta Da Gangsta : Aw By Myself
Directed by: Bigg Sixx and Kennedy DeSousa

One of Compton's well respected rap artist is back. He had some classics in his roster one of them Compton City G's with Eazy E and BG Knock Out. It was a pleasure working on this project. Sixx and I got really experimental with this just like Da Chill's Video Forever Live.

Check Out Dresta : http://www.myspace.com/drestadagangsta

While Dresta was serving his ten-year sentence, he started writing lyrics and rapping.After Wicker's release, Eazy-E eventually discovered Dresta and BG Knocc Out, met up and recorded songs with them.Dresta and B.G. Knocc Out signed to Ruthless Records with Eazy-E. They both appeared on the Eazy's 1993 multi-platinum EP It's On (Dr. Dre) 187um Killa on single "Real Muthaphuckkin G's" (which was censored to "Real Compton City G's" in order to garner MTV and radio airplay). The song itself was a response to Dr. Dre's and Snoop Dogg's various diss records towards Eazy-E on The Chronic.

In 1995. Dresta and B.G. Knocc Out released their debut album Real Brothas, which remains their only album to date. At end of the same year, they made three guest appearances in Eazy-E's posthumous album Str8 off tha Streetz of Muthaphukkin Compton.

After B.G. Knocc Out's incarceration in 1998, Dresta worked with Death Row Records. Dresta appeared on two tracks from Death Row's Too Gangsta for Radio compilation, but never actually signed to the label.

Dresta stated in an interview that he is currently working on Dirty West mixtape series and on upcoming solo album, hinting possibility of Real Brothas to get re-released. Dresta also wrote a song for Dr. Dre's upcoming album Detox, but Dre didn't want to collaborate with him. He also criticized Dr. Dre for surrounding himself with mediocre artists and delay of Detox.

New Social Networking Site For Independent Music Artist

2011-01-11T00:41:00.000-08:00

There are many music sites out there reverb nation and sound cloud those sites are great and as a lover of music I believe all independent artist's should utilize those services. But, one major things for sure there is a new social media site for music artist coming up on radar called Star Draft Music.

Star Draft Music is a social networking site for unsigned/independent music artist and music enthusiasts you can post music, videos, photos , events and look network with other music artist and/or music lovers. Star Draft's Music's mantra is to support independent artist and honestly I don't know about you but I am tired of hearing the top 10 artist's everyday repeatedly with about 20 song rotation on the radio. This is one of the many tools which will tap into a rich sea of millions of talented music artist's to be discovered. Star Draft is in the works of developing a new module called Star Draft Music Tv that will be used to showcase independent artist's in the for front, as well as having some familiar faces being presented via interviews.

As some of you may know KEN215.COM has been inactive for a while. At once KeN215.COM covered all types of events throughout the Tri-State area, with Mr.All Business, Baby Gurl, Life of the Party, Lester and Rebel Ent. , Tina and then promoted while at Qba's . After successful run, and covering a few exclusive events in LA with Shay White and coming back to Philly I realized it was time for me to start the new phase and then after taking hundreds of thousands of pictures manually in low light situations I became ready for a new mission. I'm working on the archive for the data base to post some past events for you wonderful supporters I think I may have a good 300 thousand pictures. I must thank all the wonderful photographers that helped me and contributed to the cause

For the past 7 years I lived by , " Life's too short to die with regret, do what you love to do."

For the past 4 months I've added another concept to that quote and decided to soley trust my intuition and not let other factors affect my decisions. I had to make some really drastic life changing decisions and it's led me to do a last minute trip to L.A. that same instinct dropped a lot of good deals on my lap enabling me gig, after gig driving seemingly endlessly till a few days ago. I had countless hours reflecting in my car driving through state to state sometimes in silence other times with classics from artists such as Michael Jackson, Jimmy Hendrix, Prince , 2 pac, Notorious big and more... till 4,000 miles of driving from Philadelphia, Pa - Los Angeles, Ca during that trip I almost got hit by a bike falling off a car in the highway , and I nearly hit a car that just flipped over in a storm on the highway. and all the random stops in between recouping and bam had an epiphany.

" Life's too short to die with regret, do what you love to do and share that joy it brings."

My passions has always been to be an artist but more specifically to create... I been soley shooting to perfect my "style" and now I'm ready to use what I've spent my whole life hopefully share the same joy I feel when creating. So, I decided to get back to my own personal work the type of pieces I created waking up on a just because, gut feeling tip.

How to find you Technique as a Photographer! ;)

2009-04-18T06:05:00.000-07:00

Portrait/Editorial - Images by Kennedy DeSousa

One of the many challenges starting out as an artist is finding your technique! What is that special vibe in your work that people can see YOU? That is key because anyone can put a camera on auto-settings and take a decent picture but if you want to go beyond the average and really be known as a Photographer then try these steps!

1. Know Your Camera Inside and Out

This is crucial. When you have a camera it's like a long term girlfriend or a wife. You want to feel here out and know her inside and out to keep the relationship fresh and smooth. Practice on manuel mode religiously practicing on automatic may help with polishing you eye in composition but that's it.

2.Try new Things

Yes guys try new techniques after a while you'll feel certain formula's that work but while your practicing always try different things so you'll have more techniques to add to your style.

3. Look Outside of Your Self

This is hard for I say 8 out of 10 artist. Take CONSTRUCTIVE critism objectively and use it to help guide you. Really look at it from an outside view and then apply it internally this might really help you.

4. NEVER think you mastered it all

Once you think you mastered it all it closes your mind from hitting your Tru-Potential.

5.Anilize the work around you

Professionals spent a good part of their lives if not all of it trying to find their technique you can learn a lot analyzing their work and comparing it to yours. Not copying it but seeing their strengths and flaws while look at your own.

6. Work Towards Working Effortlessly

After a while when you find your style it will flow out of you effortless. If your more intuitive you will feel it out through you eye to fingers if your more technical you will know the gauge through the light from numbers. Either or whichever your approach if you follow those rules you will find what your looking for, but becareful there is a find line between working effortless and being cocky. When you feel it out deep inside you'll know when you hit that level of comfortability.

Peace,

Kennedy DeSousa
