TREY'S TIP OF THE DAY

2009-08-19T14:59:00.003-04:00

So every once in a while certain things catch my attention that I feel I should let yall in on and because of that, from time to time I will let yall know via TREY'S TIP OF THE DAY. So recently I ran across this gin called Beefeater 24. Its a 90 proof Gin and most potent Gin on the market! If you had a rough week this would be a nice way to shut it down and relax but stay responsible of course lol.

The next item I ran across is this new Blackberry ONYX. It supposedly has a better camera and a new trackball. Would you switch up from an Iphone to the latest Blackberry? Personally, I have both and see assets in each. What do you think?

TREY SONGZ PERORMS AT 'AMBER READY' EVENT IN NYC

2009-08-17T22:44:00.004-04:00

On Sunday, August the 16th, I was fortunate enough to perform for the Amber READY program which is one of the best tools in aiding in the recovery of a missing child and is definitely a real issue I will be supporting from now on. It allows a child's profile and identity information to be sent out in minutes rather than hours.

One of the statistics that was especially alarming to me is that over 40% of children abducted by non-family members are african-american. Please click the link above and check out more information on how you can be involved as well as the other alarming statistics that I came across while learning more about this initiative.

"SUCCESSFUL" VIDEO SHOOT

2009-08-11T16:57:00.014-04:00

What is your vision of success? Growing up we all have visions of what we want our lives to be like in the future but sometimes we lose that vision. Many times we find ourselves being drawn away from our own vision and sucked into what society categorizes as success losing our inner child that just wanted to be that teacher or firefighter. Although its definitely not bad to aspire to live lavishly, make sure that whatever your vision is that its just that, yours.

Everyone has a hustle in this life. Whether you're a corporate CEO or a dancer at Magic City, whether you live in the projects or somewhere in the hills, we all have bills to pay, families to feed and goals to achieve. No matter the scale, line up your vision and knock it down cuz at the end of the day, in some way shape or form, we're all blessed. So the next time you get discouraged or things aren't going exactly as you planned, shake it off, regroup and remember that is all in the pursuit of SUCCESS!!!

HONEY MAG INTERVIEW - MY COMMENTS

2009-07-30T16:14:00.014-04:00

While out on promo I've learned that my Honeymag.com interview is being heavily talked about. Although I've never read the magazine I thought the questions prepared for me were indicative of the type of magazine that Honey is. In response to my interview, I want to take this opportunity to apologize to my fans if anything I said offended anyone. I was simply being honest. The interview was done in fun and not with the intention of being shocking or offensive. For the blogs and people who take things out of context (conveniently dismissing my several references to safe sex), I do not have a STD nor do I practice unprotected sex. I look forward to using this misinterpretation as an opportunity to highlight the importance of safe sex to my fans. I've always practiced and promoted safe sex and even wrote a song about it (Store Run - 2007). I shared an isolated incident that happened 8 years ago when I was a teenager. Lastly, I did, as I do in every interview, answer the questions that were asked. Lighten up folks LOL :) BONG!

MIKE VICK GETS REINSTATED TO THE NFL

2009-07-27T23:12:00.007-04:00

So for those of you who aren't avid sports fans, let me clue you in on what the rest of the world is talking about lol. Shortly after being released from prison and now on house arrest, Mike Vick, after being suspended indefinitely from the NFL, was reinstated today with some conditions. For a more in-depth review on the details of the reinstatement check out ESPN.COM.

Personally, I feel as though Mike Vick has paid his debt to society. He admitted to his wrong doing, dealt with his consequences like a man and must now prove he's once again worthy of the respect of the NFL. Remember, every action whether positive or negative has a respective consequence. Can you handle the outcome of your actions?

Chris Brown Gives Sincere Apology on Camera

2009-07-20T18:43:00.002-04:00

Last month I put up a post after Chris Brown received his sentencing on his assault charges. Today, he finally speaks out and gives his formal apology to the public.

Accepting responsibility is a hard thing to do but necessary when owning up to your mistakes. I think his apology is a real one and I'm happy he did it. But like I said before, there is only ONE judge.

GET FRESH FRIDAYS (LOUIS VUITTON HEELS)

2009-07-17T15:26:00.005-04:00

This SPICY SANDAL IN PATENT CALF LEATHER is definitely a game killer. I first saw Beyonce' rocking a similar version of these not long ago but I must give credit to an email from Kristine suggesting these joints. They're from the Louis Vuitton Summer '09 sandals line but you wont see too many in the streets with these as they hit you over the head for a cool $1890. How many of you ladies would make that STRETCH for these???

GET FRESH FRIDAYS (GSHOCK EDITION)

2009-07-17T00:44:00.005-04:00

Aight yall I know we haven't left you with much lately, so today you'll get two GET FRESH FRIDAY posts. This first one is all about the G-SHOCK. Seeing as though I rock a G-Shock here or there, I figured I might as well feature this once vintage item that has been reincarnated back into the mainstream. Also, I'm not sure if many were aware but for the ladies, Casio also features a line called BABY-G. The first two pics are from the BABY-G line and the bottom two are limited editions from G-SHOCK. Check out GShock.com for many more styles in both male and female. These tend to be more on the affordable side in comparison to the next item Im bout to feature.

Thanks to everyone that has been sending in their suggestions to seefurtherthEnIam@gmail.com, keep em coming!!!

How yall feel about G-Shocks!?

GET FRESH FRIDAYS

2009-07-10T18:59:00.005-04:00

Alright, now for all of you that don't know or if you're new to the blog, each friday we do what I like to call "GET FRESH FRIDAYS". Each Friday I post something new that I think is fresh from either a known or up and coming designer, or boutique shop and NOW is your turn to help me choose what I put up on fridays. If you think that you got something FRESH that you've either seen, designed or purchased yourself, send it to SEEFURTHERTHENIAM@GMAIL.COM (its and E intead of an A on Then) and IF and only if it meets the standards I'll post. Don't hesitate. You may be the next person that everyone styles themselves after.

2009-06-29T22:19:00.001-04:00

Many of you may ask, Why ANTICIPATION? Well lets break it down shall we:

An⋅tic⋅i⋅pa⋅tion [an-tis-uh-pey-shuhn] -noun
1. realization in advance, intuition; foretaste.
2. Musically - a tone introduced in advance of its harmony so that it sounds against the preceding chord.

Musically, I'm currently in a creative space like no other. I feel as though whenever a mic is put in front of me, I can do no wrong. At a time in the music industry where album sales are low, fans are fickle, inconsistent, or more into the various songs than they are the particular artist, I feel that I must give you a reason to love me. Embed in you a desire to love me and an appreciation for the music. I must show you that not only do I LOVE what I do but I also do it well.

The creation of ANTICIPATION began after I presented READY to my label the first time. I just started recording on my days off and the music felt great and decided that I'd rather share the music than let it sit and be idle. This is music without politics, without creative boundaries.

Troy (my mentor and founder & CEO of Songbook Ent.) and I have been making music since I was 15. There was a time when thoughts of monotonous melodies or redundant choruses weren't THE KEY to making a hit record. Music that just felt good. Although they're present at times the boundaries are endless in this body of work, giving you a (1) realization in advance to READY.

What do I mean by READY? Well, lets do this one more time.

Read⋅y [red-ee] –adjective
1. completely prepared or in fit condition for immediate action or use

I like to say don't get READY...STAY READY!!! But until then...Here is ANTICIPATION...
WHAT YOU WAITIN ON!? Are you READY?

GET FRESH FRIDAY "MJ EDITION"

2009-06-26T21:21:00.001-04:00

Aight Yall things are crazy so I'll keep this one short. The legend that IS Michael Jackson didn't limit his inspiration to music. He exploded thru the stylistic sense of popular music and took it to another level. From Aviators to leather Bomber Jackets, The military inspired jackets full of jewels, and who could forget the penny loafers with high waters and white socks? LOL :) This time don't wait 'til Halloween. If you haven't already, I encourage everyone to find that white glove that we all have hidden in our drawers somewhere, put it on, and raise it high. Its true we're all sad but its time lift your head up put on your favorite MJ record and "ROCK THE NIGHT AWAY!!!" ITS TIME TO CELEBRATE!!!

What is YOUR favorite MJ accessory?

MICHAEL JACKSON "NEVER CAN SAY GOODBYE"

2009-06-25T18:45:00.000-04:00

First the facts. Nearly two weeks before Michael Jackson was scheduled to revive his career...You know what, forget all that. The news can give you logistics and by now I'm sure everyone knows. In fact, I think it would be safe to say that you are not human if the news of MJ's death doesn't effect your heart in some way. To say that this moment is surreal would be an understatement. Let's take a moment to reflect.

Some say the "King of Pop" but lets just be real. Michael Jackson is the King of Music as we know it today. He's the greatest entertainter to ever live. I use to kinda joke around and say that when a baby was born, he/she would know Michael Jackson. All of your favorite artists today listened to, appreciated, and in some way were influenced by his music. If I made a list the names would take up the whole page, every genre included. We all can recite numerous lyrics and with over 750 million records sold to this day I'm sure most of the world could sing as one. Take a moment to think, When was the first time you did the moonwalk or spun around in your mirror? How many times did you do the signature MJ scream, Wooohooo, Heeeheee!? Is it possible to even count the number of us who dressed up like Mike for Halloween? Or even portrayed him in talent shows? Won dance contests with his moves? From 5yrs old to the elders whose time is almost up, we KNOW Michael Jackson. Some of us have painted different pictures in our mind when we think of him but whatever picture you paint, its a masterpiece that's left an impression in our hearts and in music as we know it. TODAY, June 25th 2009, will forever be, "The Day that Michael Jackson Died". You'll remember where you were and how you felt at the exact moment when you heard those words. Michael Jackson's LIFE was music so whichever picture above represents MJ in your lifetime, remember him well.

There's no way I could do justice sharing all the moments we remember in one post, so let's do it together. Share you favorite MJ song, moment or experience. Lets pay respect where it's due and know that he's in a better place with our true KING, our Lord and Savior. Rest in Peace brotha.

Chris Brown Reaches Plea Bargain For Felony Charges

2009-06-22T19:02:00.000-04:00

After initially pleading 'not guilty' in the initial court hearing, today Chris Brown, his lawyers and the Los Angeles district attorney's office reached a plea bargain in which he pleaded guilty to felony assault charges. According to CNN.com the deal includes 5 years probation and 180 days of labor intensive community service which measures out to over 1,400 hrs of service.

Not condoning the behavior at all but whether the mistakes small or large, we ALL make them. Some forgiven by 'man' and some not. Ultimately, God is the judge.

GENESIS

2009-06-16T00:00:00.000-04:00

Genesis - the beginning of it all. I was a kid with big dreams. At the age of 15, I met Troy Taylor, My Producer, Mentor and founder of Songbook Ent. He lived in Jersey while I was a high school student living in Virginia. We kept contact throughout the school year & I'd come to Jersey for whatever school breaks we had AND the summers to hone what had now become my craft. While I loved music, like anybody does, making music was new to me. You will hear the Immaturity and youth in my voice, you'll hear me learning how to record. This is Trey Songz PRE - Gotta Make It. Most of the songs you will hear were recorded in a basement in Teaneck, New Jersey. I slept on a fouton, I woke up to loud music and was made to think of melodies and concepts before I washed my face or brushed my teeth. I could make 10 bucks stretch for 2 weeks because I'd rather not burden my mother. I drove a 88 Honda Accord that had 2 different color doors with no radio back and forth from VA (or Baltimore) to Jersey. This is only one chapter of my story, you'll learn more as we grow together. I want my fans to know my musical path, know the work I put in and see my growth. Know that ANYTHING is possible. If u believe in YOU like no one else could ever have a work ethic to match and u cannot be stopped. With that being said...I give you GENESIS.

DEATH OF AUTOTUNE KELLZ MY RESPONSE

2009-06-09T13:37:00.000-04:00

First off, anyone who is familiar with my history knows I'm a HUGE R. Kelly fan & have been inspired by him since my early beginnings musically. So while some may take this as disrespect, those who truly listen to the lyrics will understand my urging him to go harder. I've been compared to R. Kelly since my career began while we all can recall R. Kelly stepping on the scene sounding AND looking JUST like Aaron Hall. He demolished his sound and then went on to build his own which was a mixture of many others. We all are familiar with his signature adlib "Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh" which he grabbed from Lenny Williams & let's not forget the "Bump & Grind" remix which started his Isley Brother's Vibe. Soon enough he assisted Ron Isley in becoming Mr. Biggs & while keeping Ronald close he kept him on his toes. The R. Kelly we all grew to love was innovative, witty, & trendsetting. If you were to say that R. Kelly has excited you musically as of late, I would question your ears. When I heard JayZ's "Death of Autotune" my first thought was when will R. Kelly stop using it; The King of R&B with a autotune filled mixtape (not to mention a auto tuned "Double Up" album) disappoints me. If throwing rocks at the throne wakes up the King, consider them thrown.

Will Trey Songz Surpass R. Kelly As The King Of Remixes? Published by MTV News on Friday, June 5, 2009 at 3:44 pm.

R&B singer Trey Songz’s third album, Ready, was supposed to drop this June, but it’s been pushed back to August. However, Songz is still working hard in the studio, releasing remixes of today’s hottest songs via Twitter. Some include Beyoncé’s “Ego” and Cassie’s “Must Be Love,” as well as hits he renamed, like Jeremih’s “Birthday Sex” to “First Date Sex” and Pleasure P’s “Boyfriend #2″ to “Girlfriend Can Come 2.” Since then, his fans and followers on Twitter have compared him to R. Kelly, who is also known for his remixes of popular tracks.

R. Kelly was recently featured on Mixtape Daily ->
Mixtape Daily for his first-ever mixtape called The Demo Tape, a way of reintroducing himself to fans before his new album is released. Collaborating with DJ Skee and DJ Drama, Kells remixed Lil Wayne and Young Money’s “Every Girl,” a track Trey also remixes and released on Twitter. So who did it best?

I asked a few people in the newsroom to listen to both versions (I also warned them about the explicit lyrics!) and took a poll of whose remix was better. Devout R. Kelly fans couldn’t even get past the first five lines of Trey’s version because it’s simple — R. Kelly is R. Kelly.

Those who preferred Trey’s version thought Trey had better vocals and lyrics. Trey’s wordplay was more clever because he has something to prove, whereas R. Kelly’s lyrics were uninspired (kind of resting on his reputation), and his use of Auto-Tune makes him seem dated.

Even though folks in the newsroom chose sides, the general consensus was that if Trey were to sing R. Kelly’s lyrics, he wouldn’t be taken seriously. Trey’s style reminds us of R. Kelly in his prime. We can’t forget that R. Kelly has an amazing track record of remixes!

So is R. Kelly still the King of Remixes, or should he watch his back for Trey Songz?

ABOUT TREY SONGZ: In 2005, a young man with a voice far beyond his years stepped onto the scene before the world was equipped for one of his kind. With the release of "Trey Day" his sophomore release on Atlantic Records last fall, it is clear that Trey Songz is here for the long run. After much success for the single, "Can't Help But Wait," Trey received his first BET Award nomination in 2008. Just recently Trey Songz was featured in the GAP Merry Mix It Commercial for the 2008 Holiday Campaign and also received his first Grammy nomination.
