Awards...

Happy 2014 ya'll! I hope this year will be a good one! So, it is new year's day, and do you know what that means? FOOD. RAP. LOGAN'S HOUSE! Here's what's on the food menu.
Logan's Famous Bacon Wrapped Turducken. (A Turkey stuffed with a duck that is stuffed with a chicken.) Delicious!
Fresh Cornbread
Potato Soup
Crabcakes (not exactly traditional...)
Apple Pie!



Last Night we set off some awesome fireworks. I just love blowing stuff up. It's so 'Murikan, and the holidays just don't feel the same with out explosions! :)
Zambia Fun Fact: Zambia's Independence Day is on October 24.
I thought that fact was cool.

Speaking of Zambia...donations are down sadly, so please keep giving!
I just got a call from Da' Bittah' Magician! She will be back tomorrow.

 Everyone is excited that the Hit single "N.Y. Rate of Crime" has been nominated for a N.Y.C. Underground Rap Award for end of the year singles. It has also been nominated for G-Dep Award for Excellence in Rappin'. The completion for each is tough. For the Underground Rap Award we are up against The Sexy Raisins' single "Camouflage", the Bad Boyz of Staten Island's "Rap n' Roll", and the Feverous 5's "Gangstah' in Da' Hood!". We don't know who else has been nominated for the G-Dep Award, because they only release the names of the nominees one at a time, over a period of 10 days. Grandmaster Spaghetti and Da' Bittah' Magician are the first to be named.

 This is a picture of the coveted N.Y.C. Underground Rap End of the Year Single Award Trophy! The Award ceremony will be at Semaj James' Bar, the 14th Street Baldies. It will be on January 13th at 4:00 Pm- 7:00 Pm. Bring yo' Swag with you! Tickets are $3 a person and they go fast. Book online at The bar's brand new website. Grandmaster Spaghetti and the Dah' Bittah Magician's award time should be at about 6:45.

The G-Dep Awards are held on January 10th form 9:00- 11:00 Pm just outside of Rick's Bar's back employee entrance. It is free, but the seating is limited. Grandmaster Spaghetti and Dah' Bittah' Magician's award will be the first. No outside food or beverages, only items purchased at Rick's Bar can be brought past the chain link fence.

 This is where the G-Dep awards will be held. I sadly won't be able to come due to a change in work shifts at the Denny's I work at. :(
Oh, and some more bad news...the Studios that are producing Keepin' It Fresh have pushed back the release date to sometime in early February.

This is a picture that Dah' Bittah Magician sent me from her family's house in Westwego.

 Happy New Year! Sincerely,
                                                                    Michael Benton.

One Zambia, One Nation

Hey! I got the pug. I named him Big L, and he is SOOO adorable. We are having a lot of fun with him. I brought him to one of Grandmaster Spaghetti and Da Bittah' Magician's gigs at the Eagle Bar. I'm thinking about making Big L the official mascot of the gang.



Isn't he cute?
Here is the Zambia fun fact: The Motto of Zambia is One Zambia, One Nation.

Oh, we will be spending New Year's eve and New Year's Day with my cousin Logan. He loves to blow stuff up, so it should be a lot of fun!

  I know this pic is from last year, but hey I love fireworks!

Fun and Family

Happy day-after boxing day! Dah' Bittah' Magician is still with her family in Westwego. She should be back in a few days. I spent Christmas at Grandmaster Spaghetti's place (well, Patrick's place actually). Santa left us some great gifts. I got many wonderful presents. But, the greatest gift of all was the $500 dollar donation to our Zambia fund. Oh, and just because our Badass Mountain Products Video said we are just going to give money to buy present for the Zambians, we are going to do more. We want to sponsor a village. We have not secured which village it will be, but we have contacted some people about it. Zambia fun fact: Due to The British ruling Zambia before it's independence, English is one of the official languages of Zambia.




I plan to have more fun facts.

 I have also picked a pet. This is a pug I will get. I cannot decide on a name yet...but it will be after a rapper.

  Thanks,

Christmas Eve Cookies!

Merry Christmas eve, ya'll! All today I've had God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen, Jingle Bells, and "Busta Cap" running through my head. Da' Bittah' Magician made cookies...

  They are delicious. We also heard about some people in Queens selling cookies and donating the money to Central African Hunger Charities. Way to go! We are thrilled that people are starting to help the needy. Mmmm...another batch of cookies. What's that? Grandmaster Spaghetti just busted a sick rap about the cookie monster! Way to go, Grandmaster Spaghetti! Oh, I guess this will be the last batch of cookies. Da' Bittah' Magician has to get to the airport. Bye,Bye!

This is the official YouTube channel.
 Kittens in Pajamas! This is a great book, and a perfect holiday gift. This hard-core novel explains humanity's struggle to survive in the form of not-so-happy kittens wearing fluffy pajamas! I got this book for Grandmaster Spaghetti!

I also checked another present off of his list by getting him this lawn chair.

Great!!!!

I had the gifts for Da' Bittah' Magician sent to her house in Westwego. Here's what she will get...

Logan loaned me some money for these gifts. My shitty jobs at Denny's, Quiznos, and Cafeteria Café aren't exactly ideal for buying nice presents/gifts/whatever.

I also got her this epic poster. She LOVES hyenas.

MERRY KWANZAA!

Car shopping

Well, guys our donation drive at the gas station went well. We got $30 to give to Zambia, and $10 to go towards a new van. We lost our gig at The Glory Nightclub, but that's ok. We are back at Grandmaster's loft apartment in the city. We've added some throwback songs on YouTube. Patrick helped us get a new van. We have three options. Here they are...

1. Patrick's Favorite.




2. Da Bittah Magician's Favorite.


        

3. Grandmaster Spaghetti's Favorite.



I just love cars!
