My Book

It's been a long time... I shouldn't have left you....

Hello all. In the post below you will find a link to a recent interview with Speech if you are looking for AD stuff, but I wanted to take a second and point out one of the reasons why this blog has went to seed as of late. Basically, in December 2011 I began work on a novel and in the last four or five months, that work became overwhelming, leaving me little time to work on anything else during my free moments. To attempt to motivate myself, I decided to switch the scope of this site to all old-school rap. This was a stupid idea. If I didn't have time to write about AD and Speech during a down period, what made me think trying to churn out a post a day was a good idea? So yeah, that lasted about a week, and even that was a miracle.

So, with that in mind, while it is a long-shot that this would be something that would interest any stray readers that come across this site, I did want to share with you the efforts of my work: a novel title On the Backs of Dragons. As you can probably guess, it is a fantasy, though I would say it goes pretty light on many of the hallmarks of the genre. For example, there are no elves or wise wizards, and no prophecies about chosen ones nor are there any trinkets that need to be destroyed to save the world. At it's heart, it is an adventure story, and a very simple one. It is being published by me through CreateSpace. If you would be so kind to check into it, I would appreciate it. If not, thanks for reading Highway 85, and I promise it won't pop up again here!

Interview With Speech

Hello all, long time no see. There has been a dearth of Speech and AD stories as of late, but from what I understand, they are in the process of recording new stuff, which is always welcome. In the meantime, here is a little interview with Speech with Chuck D's website Hip Hop Gods, which is a great site to follow for us old-school fans.
