Vidz: KJ-52 talks mixtapes & double standards

KJ-52 was in Houston recently and sat down with me for quick one-on-one interview.

In this clip, we discuss mixtapes, double standards in Christian hip hop, race matters, that DaSouth.com "Pastor" comic, and protein bars.

KJ-52 is a Punk!

In the words of Big Brother's Jeff: I "got got!"

A few weeks ago KJ-52 Tweeted that his blog was hacked the same day he was to release a full stream of his upcoming 52 Television album. Instead of the music, there were photos of some dude named CC Bonz and his new tats.

I felt sorry for KJ and even reported this during one of my segments of The Wade-O Radio Show.

Turns out Tweezy was getting his Ashton-Kutcher-Punk'd-on and it was all a promo tease for the Chris Carlino (aka CC Bonz) character vlogs that tie into the storyline of the project.

I'm a bit embarrassed, but love it all the same. Call me a sucker for the viral vid/meta-marketing stuff. And this one worked.

Check out the intro video for the Chris Carlino "Choose-Your-Own-Adventure" type story. And if you chase the rabbit all the way down the hole, you'll be rewarded with a preview video of the "Let It Go" song. Love the stop-motion/still photo clip.



Also catch a leak of "Swagged Out with Tags Out" featuring Da' T.R.U.T.H. over at Rapzilla.com.

The album drops 09/22/09.

Free DL: KJ-52's "The Office / 52 Television Prequel" mixtape full mp3

If you wanna hear KJ-52 get loose, be sure to grab his FREE "The Office" / 52 Television Prequel mixtape here.

It’s definitely cool to hear him flex over some hot beats from the likes of the Clipse, Jay-Z, and Timbaland.

Also fun to hear some soundbites from one of my fave TV show added to the mix. Too bad he didn't include the "Warehouse Rap" with DJ Jazzy Flax.

And believe me, dude goes off.

You talkin smack,
Wheel of Fortune cats,
I'll call you Pat,
You never Say Jack

-"Flava in Your Ear" freeverse

Like that other white MC he's always getting compared to, I think Angry KJ > Poppy KJ

Enjoy.

52 Television on the way

KJ-52 recently Tweeted that he’s completed his next album.

52 Television will be released on September 22.

As you can see from his iPhone screen shot, early song titles include “Adventures of Tweezyman,” “Rope,” “Headlines,” and “Let’s Go” featuring Trevor McNeven of the rock band Thousand Foot Krutch.

Watch KJ-52 live in studio - "52 Television" streams all this week from Seattle, Washington

Did you know that each Monday night KJ-52 has a live video chat?

Always a techy early adopter, Tweezy has now combined his weekly audio podcast and video devotionals into a more personal, interactive web feed.

In these sessions KJ answers fan questions, participates in the chat, and leaks new music and videos. To get in on the action, point your browser to www.mogulus.com/kj52 on Monday nights at 8:30 pm Eastern Standard Time.

All this week (not just Mondays) the stream will be showing KJ in the Tooth & Nail studios in Seattle, Washington with super-producer Aaron Sprinkle. They'll be working on KJ's next album conveniently titled "52 Television."

And, I spoke to KJ tonight and he told me this Mogulus video stream may be the future of the viewable 52 Televison show.

He plans to get his church's production team behind him which will improve both the visual quality of the episodes and provide additional wisdom to help answer the tough spiritual questions and issues that arise from the live chats.
