"Post Euphoria EP Volume 1"

Hey Readers & Fellow Bloggers :) As you probably know, I help head up the street team for Fill In The Breaks run by my guy Ecid. If you aren't familiar with FITB, it is a record label based out of Minneapolis that makes Crazy Awesome Experimental Art-Based Hip Hop music that is like nothing you have ever heard before. My guy Ecid dropped his new EP "Post Euphoria Volume 1" early and it's FREE! It kicks ass and you should download it NOW! You WON'T regret it, I promise :) Here is the link to the deluxe version on iTunes also which features instrumentals and a couple more bonus tracks/remixes making a total of 14 tracks you can buy for only $7.99 if you want more than just the regular free version available for download at ecid.bandcamp.com.

Hope

When u feel like there's no one to turn to? When you feel like the one u could turn to had now turned on u? When everything u do is for someone, but they act like you're not worthy enough to do a damn thing for them. When your whole world feels like it's turning upside down. When you have a feeling in your gut that you're going to get seriously fucked over. When your lied to. When your looked at from atop of their eagle's nest. When you're made to feel like your best is absolutely revolting and disgusting. When you are talked to like a child. When you feel your dignity slipping. When you let your self-respect get stomped on right in front of your eyes. When you have worked SO GODDAMN HARD to get where you are at n keep screaming, n Screaming, n SCREAMING!!! to try and shake you off your feet, but that doesn't work so now they pull, n Pull, n PULL, n push, n Push, n PUSH! All the while sticking pins n needles in u to see what it will take to break u. I feel myself slipping. I feel my old desires calling in times like this when I feel so fuckin degraded that its a wonder Im still here alive n believing, NEVER letting go. I CAN'T LET GO! I CAN'T LET GO! I CAN'T LET GO! I CAN'T GIVE IN. I've searched ALL my life so I just CAN'T! So I hope cuz HOPE is all I can do. That n continue to be flexible, but my flexibility has stretched so far that sometimes I swear that I m bout to snap into a million little pieces. Its all Sad! But I have HOPE , even if HOPE doesn't have me

Define's FB Music Page



So I just published my Artist/Band FB page. Call me behind the times, but I'm from the days of MySpace and we hated FB for it's difficulties it presented for us artsy and noise-makin folk. Taking a hiatus definitely presents you with a reality check in technology and social network technology, I can say that much. Some of you know me, some of you don't, some of you may think I'm new, and some of you have even taken me for granted in the past. Well I guess we all live and learn. Anyways....I'm back! I've been back, slowly worming my way back into the system and happenings for awhile now.

As this page is new and I am going to try and publish something every day on it, I also have to do the same for my other online pages, in addition to producing new music. Add it everyday life and relationships and family and all that good stuff and yeah so don't get mad if I miss a day here or there. I appreciate the understanding. Maybe hopefully one day soon enough I can actually develop a following that will actually care enough about what I just said. LOL!

So here's my new FB page address: http://www.facebook.com/definesmusicpage

You can check out 1 or more of the 6 beats I uploaded to the legendary MySpace last night at the following address as well if you are interested: http://www.myspace.com/definetheartist

The beats I uploaded onto there are NOT new however, just an FYI. They are from 2007-2008.

You can find me also on my regular FB page at: http://www.facebook.com/erickdefine

Thanks for reading and stay safe if you're being affected by this crazy-ass winter snow storm.

Peace,

Define
