Unoriginal Post...
This vid is everywhere but I actually do check back to Con's vids because he's a mad lucky dude to be on tour with these geniuses. Like how you get to video tape this? To experience this? Needed it on my page so I can always find it.
Haha, Head bops in unison.

Been On To This Boarders Music for 2 Years...
....and he is going to blow soon thanks to appearing on Santogold's album.
His Name Is Trevor Andrew and he's a Pro Snow Border from Canada. In 06' He started his band in Brooklyn, NY... round' my hood Williamsburg and Over East in Bushwick. Yeah I actually grew up here and I have as many issues with "hipsters" as much as the next native, but I fucking love his music. Every track; the whole lot of em'...
The video above was shot on streets all too familiar to me. I mean seriously these are streets I just drive past everyday, to get to and from my neighborhood... I never thought they looked that good at all... in retrospect I thought our neighborhood was pretty crumby and grimey. As a youngster I remember that "The North Side" was deserted save for some obscure people living illegally in "warehouses," and a couple Polish Drunkard bars. Boutiques and Thai restaurants popped up everywhere around 97' and just quadrupled from there. While that happened; the crappy illegal half-done warehouse spaces, that more "Bohemian" people lived in...were re-done into actual legal housing due to heavy attention from officials.
AND THEN BOOM!
Skyscrapers and condos blocking my view. Mind you, I only live a block away from the water front... An influx of dirty people and albeit lice in the neighborhood that probably has oil in the ground water?! Blah! A million dollars to live down the block?! For a "scene"?...
I can't front its super cool and chill out here, and I've met some awesome people, but I don't understand why you want to live in Brooklyn. I personally love it here because I see That Bridge and I know I'm home. I have a lot of still shots in my brain of staring at that crossing from my window through the many "growingstages of my life.
But honestly... it's really just a shitty looking, half done, bridge, over a body ridden river to another shitty, project ridden part of the city that got gentrified. The view actually sucks, unless you were down by me way past "The South Side", and you saw our NYC skyline view. Yet, once the twin towers were gone it might as well be Chicago you're looking at.
Anyway point is, I'm over seeing people struggle to live here. I'de much rather get my money's worth and move to another state or even COUNTRY and buy A million dollar HOUSE there and live well and send my kids to good schools. You will not catch me at the age of 35 STILL living in WILLIAMSBURG, BROOKLYN. Mark My words.... Well I just did. :)
Want more Trouble Info? CLICK HERE..... His bio on there is pretty cool.

Not supposed to get too personal on here but...
It's 5 am, I am retardedly sick and just had a long horrible night.
My advice to anyone with a heart? Never give it away to another human being. Keep it closed up until you see that someone is truly right for you and will treat you as a high priority.

KLEP Gave Me This Idea.
It's always been fun to trace samples. Here's a taste of some songs that have documented sampling of The Isley Brothers Classic: "Footsteps In The Dark" after Ice Cube's "Today Was A Good Day"...
Slum Village "Call Me" Feat. Dwele
MOST SLEPT ON RAP GROUP OF ALL TIME. WHERE ARE THEY?! If you don't have this album please refrain from calling yourself a "Hip Hop Head."
J Dilla "Wont Do" Off "The Shining"
Nough' Said.
K-Os "Heaven Only Knows remix"
Now that's enough to start your download engines today. I think all these sample were used quite well. :D

The Return?
Nah, This is something new. This is the re-birth.
This last week got me thinking and changing. I've Morphed into a much more capable and determined A.
Albeit a little harder and colder too. But the water falling this morning was my baptism and I will never be the girl I was 4 years ago. But that's growing right? You get wiser and change. So I've changed and in my view... For The Better.
Fuck Lames. Step Up Your Life Game.
