Shout outs to DUPES and J (in the words of Caribbean Carter "FLAWLESS!!)

Temptations

I am a HUGE Motown Fan, Heck I even like Micheal McDonald and his super Caucasian doobie brother self. The music of that time well it made me who I am today mix in a lil sing along songs from Disney and you have one seemingly well adjusted individual.



I just had to put that out there. Its out there it was embarrassing but its true. Now on to the MUSAK BUSINESS.


Dec. 3 2008 Cherry L School Tour was on and popping. VFCSS well "WE ARE THE BEST" Cherry L took it back to were some of it really started and surely inspired the future leaders of the new cool.



And who better to keep the COOL in check but my buddy Cherry L. The school tour continues on Tuesday 9th Dec. 2009 and goes on from there. I will keep you posted.

New Music is in the works, Kim Whyte and Twizzy got some fly singles on the way and I'm talking like NASA fly these two young people are about to change the face of the south of St.Lucia and all I can say is "Hi Haters"




Christmas singles are out the Jab is Outta the Sac so support it download it spread it sell it. I will post some links as soon as I can.

The season is on and my vision is strong so its time for me to get my CYCLOPS on!

Dupes

Oh Christmas Tree Just Christmas Me

The Gift List is getting longer. I have got some functional gifts to give the ONLY DUPES you know.



I'm not even playing this time here are direct links: Beats By Dre In Ear Headphones

I'd have to be SUPERHUMAN!!!

"Made out of Stone Made of Steel to not feel what I'm feeling. To Not Luv Ya Baby, Luv Ya Baby" you see that song that is my song.



Many people question my origin the origin of the name DUPES. Man its a long, long story that starts with that song off the last good album (in my opinion) Ginuwine released.

Sometimes I do accomplish 'Kryptonian' feats at least in comparison to my peers, but it takes so much from this man. Sometimes it hurts to shut people out and not let them into whats goin on and how it feels just to be what and who I am. Its hard when emotions and integrity at times has to be an afterthought as opposed to a divining rod (its that lil Y shaped stick people look for water with).

I have definitely been rambling these days a little lost on this path that I call life and some call destiny. At this point if you make your own luck well I am stuck somewhere around Formula 31 reaching for the 51. My batting average is down and I'm pitching way outside of the strike zone.

Sometimes you wish you could just flick the switch and stop being that ROBOT (at least I do) The TIN MAN wanted a heart I'm tellin you now "Mr. I Need An Oil Can". The weight of a heart (a loving one at that) is a hard load to bear so be careful what you wish for.

I'm thankful though for the times i feel like this cause in reality it can only get better. Right now I just gotta convince myself that its true. This blog has been a bit personal these days and little less corporate I wont apologize for that cuz even with out the "super" I still gotta be "HUMAN"

PEACE

I Got a Dark Skin Friend ... Look Like Micheal Jackson

And I'm not talking about my cousin from a previous post, ever just have a day a weird day, that just made you feel, well weird?

Yesterday 26th Nov. 2008 was just one of them days. I had a few meetings with some interesting people, some people made me think, some made me smile, but I gotta send this out to the one person that made me laugh (trust me it was a loving laff I promise not my MANDARKISH *dexter reference* EGO MANIACAL ONE).

My mind was opened to new ideas and interesting new things and although some of them cant get me BLING BLAOWW - I can prolly bling bling. I still gotta figga things out in that big head of mine and see how much of my bravado that can be subdued. Its hard to teach and ole dog new tricks and although I don't look it I'm a GROWN ASS MAN DOG.

Does that mean I'm a man-dog or just a man and calling you dog? (maybe i should have used the randy jacksonish DAWG) I'm not sure but if there is any offense I will take it.

Didn't sleep well last nite "Good Thoughts" were peppered throughout my nightmares. Some thing I always say to those I love is "DREAM A LIL DREAM" so at least if you didn't sleep all to well you can always have that. I needed that last nite I think I got some shut eye between 5:30am and 6:30am but I'm steady on that grind gotta pay that LIME ... bill.

PEACE and LOVE

My Mind is Right, How About Yours?

Ahh talent, how do you define talent? Is it a skill that you are blessed with, develop and share with the world? or is it just what it is TALENT a product a dream sold to the weak minded to make them believe in themselves and aspire to achieve more?

Man..... Heck if I know but I'm gonna say this I'm a talented hard working dude man and I'm working my talent hard. I associate my self with talented individuals and I keep it popping pimpin!!

In the past two weeks I have been working with some extremely talented individuals and being a musician a producer a whatever shit a "Hardworker" I can tell you where exactly the talent lies but these people have skill are motivated and have drive.

The BURDEN of being a producer is harnessing this talent molding it growing it and developing it. Investing in people is a tedious experience one that should not be taken lightly. I respect my TALENT and the talented people i work with and I hope that I can be their "Old Ben" Kenobi I resent the term 'OLD' but shit you gotta get there when you get there.

For the people I worked with in the past 14 days Mad Love Mad Props and Mad Respect! You are all stars.

NOW ON TO THE FUN -----
FIRST RELEASE for the XMAS SEASON off the JAB EN SAC RIDDIM HERE and HERE

"I Love it, You Love it, We Love It Thats GREAT!!!!!" Icy Dude

Check My Fructis Flow!!!

So I Have been producing ads for some major companies recently and at times it can be really HIT OR MISS most times these days I miss. But that is the game here is the review I received for the most recent production.


"Hi Sherwin thanks for your submission. Here is your bullet point critique


*Nice job on this one Sherwin.
*Production is cool, but the music goes off beat early on which takes it out of contention!
*Could you have slid the vocals over a bit/
*I like the fact that you can hear a bit of the old melody in it too.
*Music is tight overall. We love your transitions from chorus to verse and vice versa.
*Overall, it comes down to the vocal sync. But nice job on the music independently.
*Your subliminal synth textures are cool. We hear everything and you got production chops most definitely"

I am quite proud to say that I got this review and I will continue striving towards musical excellence.

This is not a GAME people its a LIFESTLYE!!!

DUPES

Take A Look @ Me Now!!!!!

Against All Odds
I am like, thinking right now, I mean right now, whilst i listen to Howard Stern on my broken down IPOD touch, that Im on my walk about. Walking about, Manhattan, New York. Walking amongst "The New Yorkers" and all I can say is "its different" people stay on the move.

Everyone is about what they are about and they just keep on moving. I see so much when I look at people and I read so much. 19 yr olds that look like stock brokers, 60 yrs that dress like "kick pushers". It's fly and I like it. Right now the movement is offline and online. I have made some serious connections and have already produced a banger (AKAI, Thank You!).

Just keep googling, you will see me somewhere soon. I promise.



Oh by the way new Cherry L single is UP on the myspace check it out

Hmmm......

"Honesty Is Such a Lonely Word......." Billy Joel



Look I'm known to say alot, I'm also known to not say much, but I do what I can to be honest, GYMRMUSIC.COM you would think when you come here you would get music and stuff like that. It happens but most times i just take a chance to breathe really and be real really.

Am I a producer? Sometimes I don't know, I make beats i know that, I have developed a couple of acts and been the all round go to guy for so called "hits". So by they you would figure hey yeah Dupes does his thing. Honestly, I don't get paid, I don't chase fame and at times I'm humble. One thing I do know is that i have fun doing what i do.

This blog entry has got no treats for you guys really (I hardly ever do). I will touch on HOUSE OF WAX JAZZ @ PULSE, this past Thursday 8th May 2008. Dude i think after all the drama that ensued in getting this event off the ground eventually the show was a success. It was a chance for fans of HOW to be in a personal setting and interact with St.Lucia's up coming BRAT PACK. Turn out was decent although some people may think otherwise. We stumbled to a start but once it started heck even I had fun.

I'm gonna post some pics later hopefully today if this connection holds up. I got no good words for the CLUB nor the CLUB OWNER until he pays his dues. Apart from that I hope everyone enjoyed the show.


PEACE can't work without WAR, Cuz with out WAR what's there to be PEACEFUL for?
