IN CELEBRATION OF THE BRAND NEW TIM & ERIC’S BILLION DOLLAR MOVIE RELEASE, I FIGURED I WOULD SHARE WITH YOU THE MUSIC VIDEO I MADE WITH TIM AND ERIC’S EDITOR FOR BOTH TV AND FILM, DJ DOUGGPOUND. DOUG ALSO EDITS FOR THE TV SHOW PORTLANDIA AND I THINK HIS STYLE IS CRUCIAL TO THE AESTHETIC OF BOTH PROJECTS. THE VIDEO WE MADE TOGETHER A FEW YEARS AGO I THINK QUALIFIES AS A “FUN ROMP” THRU FUCKED UP/INSPIRING CALI CULTURE. ENJOY!

WATCH THE VIDEO ABOVE.

THANK YOU FRIENDS FOR A SENSATIONAL DECEMBER TOUR OF AUSTRALIA AND JAPAN. ABOVE IS ME PERFORMING A BRAND NEW SONG CALLED “21 ON THE 101″ IN OSAKA FOR SOME RAGERS. GET READY TO GET DEEP INTO THE THUNDER ZONE IN 2K12. LOTS OF NEW PROJECTS. MORE INFO SOON. THERE IS NO ESCAPE.

THIS IS WASSUP WITH JUICEBOXXX IN 2K11.

-A LOT OF TIME IN THE STUDIO WORKING ON A LOT OF NEW MUSIC. MORE INFO ON THAT WHEN IT IS READY. I HAVE TO SAY, I AM REALLY PSYCHED! A NEW DIRECTION IN RAP ROCK AND A NEW CHAPTER IN THE NEVERENDING JOURNEYMAN SAGA THAT IS JUICEBOXXX.

-I STARTED A BRAND NEW “ANYTHING GOES” LABEL CALLED THUNDER ZONE ENT. THE FIRST RELEASE IS A 7 INCH BY ONE OF MY FAVORITE RAP GROUPS G-SIDE FEATURING A REMIX BY JAVELIN ON THE FLIP. YOU CAN ORDER IT RIGHT NOW HERE. IN THE FUTURE THUNDER ZONE IS GOING TO DO ANYTHING WE WANT TO DO, INCLUDING ENERGY DRINKS, PRESS ON NAILS, TEE SHIRTS AND MORE.

-LEAVING ON SATURDAY FOR A TOUR OF AUSTRALIA AND JAPAN! IN AUSTRALIA I PLAY SOME DATES WITH THE LEGENDARY BIG FREEDIA PLUS THE MERIDETH MUSIC FESTIVAL. FIRST TIME DOWN UNDER. AFTER THAT 7 SHOWS IN ONE OF MY FAVORITE PLACES IN THE WORLD, JAPAN! I REALLY LOVE IT THERE, THE KIDS HAVE A LOT OF ENERGY AND THE OVERALL VIBE IS VERY INSPIRING. MORE INFO ON BOTH TOURS HERE.

-THIS THURSDAY IN LOS ANGELES I PLAY A SHOW WITH DAN DEACON, XBXRX, FREEZEPOP AND DJ FRANKI CHAN AT THE ECHOPLEX. ONE OF LESS THAN 10 US SHOWS I’VE PLAYED THIS YEAR. SHOULD BE A RAGER.

2K12 IS GOING TO BE POSITIVE I CAN FEEL IT.

I DON’T WANNA GO INTO THE DARKNESS.

IF YOU HAVE A DREAM AND YOU ARE WORKING ON THAT DREAM THEN YOU ARE LIVING THE DREAM.

I’M 10+ YEARS DEEP IN THIS MUSIC SHIT AND I CAN SAY WITH CONVICTION THAT I LOVE THE ESSENCE OF THE GAME. NOT JUST THE BRIGHT LIGHTS BUT THE HIGHWAYS. THE RADIO. THE TRUCK STOPS. THE RAGERS.

LOOKING BACK, IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN EASIER FOR ME TO QUIT DOING JUICEBOXXX AT A CERTAIN POINT AND START A NEW PROJECT. THE MODERN MUSIC LANDSCAPE IS A BEAUTIFUL THING BUT SOMETIMES IT FEELS LIKE IT DOESN’T REWARD JOURNEYMEN. WELL, I’M ABOUT TO CHANGE ALL OF THAT. THIS ONE GOES OUT TO THE DREAMERS.

ENTER THE THUNDER ZONE.

THAT’S RIGHT. BACK ON THE ROAD AFTER A LONG TIME IN THE CUT. NO USA, JUST AUSTRALIA AND JAPAN. IN AUSTRALIA A FEW DATES WITH BIG FREEDIA AS WELL AS THE MERIDETH MUSIC FESTIVAL. IN JAPAN MULTIPLE SHOWS IN OSAKA+TOKYO AND ONE IN NAGOYA. I COULDN’T BE MORE PSYCHED. TONS OF NEW SONGS. HUNGRY FOR THE HIGHWAY. TOUR DATES BELOW.

JB FLOWING OVER ONE OF THE SICHEST BEATS OF 2K11: HUDSON MOHAWKE’S “THUNDER BAY”. I WAS GOING TO USE THIS FOR MY UPCOMING MIXTAPE “BEYOND THUNDER ZONE” BUT THAT TAPE HAS TAKEN SOME TWISTS AND TURNS SO I FIGURED I WOULD JUST PUT IT IN THE GAME RIGHT NOW.

JB FANS KNOW HOW IMPORTANT THE THUNDER IS TO MY EVERYDAY LIFESTYLE SO IN ADDITION TO THIS TRACK BEING AMAZING THE TITLE STRUCK A CHORD. RECORDED IN A CLOSET IN A ROOM BEHIND THE JOLLIBEE. QUICK AND SICK STYLE. I HOPE YOU LOVE IT. LISTEN TO IT ABOVE, DOWNLOAD IT RIGHT HERE.

I WILL BE DOING TWO DJ SETS IN THE LOS ANGELES AREA THIS OCTOBER. COME OUT AND HEAR ME PLAY ? MUSIC AND PRE-GAME BY LISTENING TO MY NEW-ISH MIX “GO TO THE CLUB ALONE”. BOTH OF THESE SHOULD BE SOLID NIGHTS OF QUALITY CONTEMPORARY ENTERTAINMENT. C U IN DA PIT!

OCTOBER 4TH “IHEARTCOMIX PRESENTS…” AT LOS GLOBOS WITH “SPECIAL GUEST”, BLEACHED, PROECT ME, KILLING SPREE DJS AND BOB BRUNO (BEST COAST) DJ SET

OCTOBER 24TH “SEAN CARNAGE PRESENTS…” AT PEHRSPACE WITH THE ERIC ANDRE SHOW LIVE, DJ DOUGGPOUND AND MORE!

MY PHILADELPHIA BUDDIES ANDREW JEFFREY WRIGHT, ROSE LUARDO AND TED PASSIONS HAVE A TELEVISION SHOW FOR COMCAST ON-DEMAND CABLE THAT TEACHES KIDS HOW TO TELL JOKES. IT IS CALLED “JOKE SUMMER SCHOOL” AND IT IS HILARIOUS. WHATS MORE, THEY BROUGHT ME INTO PHILLY TO WRITE THE THEME SONG AND PERFORM IT ON CAMERA! DOING THE THEME SONG FOR A CHILDREN’S TV SHOW IS SERIOUSLY A DREAM COME TRUE. CHECK IT OUT ABOVE, I SUPPORT EVERYTHING THESE THREE DO, FROM ART TO TV TO PERFORMANCE AND BEYOND.

“GO TO THE CLUB ALONE” IS A DJ MIX I MADE A FEW MONTHS AGO THAT I HAVE BEEN SITTING ON UNTIL NOW. UPTEMPO MUSIC TRYING TO TELL A LIL’ STORY ABOUT HEADING EAST AND WEST FROM THE HEARTLAND IN SEARCH OF SOMETHING. NOTHING REALLY TOO OBSCURE OR NEW OR OLD OR COOL OR UNCOOL AND A LITTLE BIT BLOWN OUT. MAYBE SOME SICK “BLENDS” I DON’T FUCKING KNOW. THIS THING IS REALLY LONG AND YOU KNOW IT ALWAYS RULES WHEN DJS TALK ABOUT “TAKING YOU ON A JOURNEY” BUT WHAT ELSE CAN ANYONE REALLY SAY? THIS MUSIC SHIT IS A JOURNEY PEOPLE.

DON’T BE AFRAID, GO TO THE CLUB ALONE.

WHERE DO THE YEARS GO? 19-YEAR-OLD JUICEBOXXX THROWING DOWN IN THE MIDDLE OF A SPANK ROCK SET AT A TODD P OUTDOORS PARTY IN EAST WILLIAMSBURG, BROOKLYN. SINCE THEN 5 YEARS HAVE PASSED AND A WHOLE LOT HAS CHANGED BUT I KEEP ON RUNNING.

FOR SOME PEOPLE THIS SHIT IS OVERNIGHT BUT FOR ME IT IS A JOURNEY AND I AM A JOURNEYMAN. FROM THE HEARTLAND. I MIGHT STILL BE YOUNG BUT I’VE SPENT A LOT OF TIME HARD NOSIN’ THE HIGHWAY AND THAT IS POSITIVE. A LOT OF NEW JB MUSIC HAS COME OUT OF MY YEARS ON THE ROAD AND CAN’T WAIT TO SHARE IT WITH ALL YOU RAGERS! STAY TUNED, THE SAGA CONTINUES.
