A Night to Remember (SOBs in NYC)

2 nights ago I performed at the LEGENDARY SOBs in New York City! It has been one of the major highlights of my career so far, just because of how legendary SOBs is to music, not just hip hop. I walked the halls backstage and saw old posters of Kanye, Common, and many others, promoting their SOB shows back when they were trying to get put on and it just made me feel like I am one step closer to greatness!

It was a GREAT night! Dame Dash, Terry Urban, XXl, Vibe, Universal Music, Def Jam and MANY more all had reps in the audience! It was a night I will never forget!!

[NEW] “The Audition” (Artwork)

Here is the new (and final) artwork for my project “The Audition EP”!!!

The reason why I chose to change the artwork is because I felt the previous artwork was too safe. No one was mad at it. No one said “what the fuck is this?” Anyone can have a picture of themselves with text, and for a second I let myself fall into the norm.

Ive recorded over 40 songs since the release of the first artwork and tracklisting, and the entire project has gone in a different direction. It shows more of my personality than anything Ive ever done, and the artwork needed to showcase my personality as well. I truly, 100%, without a doubt believe that “The Audition” will be one of the top 10 projects of 2010! I really want to say top 5, but the blogosphere would go CRAZY….lol. But Ive put A LOT of work into this project. Its hip hop! More hip hop than anything Ive done prior….and on March 23rd, everyone will get to judge for themselves!

Hope you guys love it!!!

Piano Stairs!!!!!

Sometimes staying up late on iChat, people can send you really creepy messages…or really cool ones. In this case, my friend Makensy sent me this REALLY cool vid.

Dope.

Nicki Minaj Covers Fader Magazine

I’m not the biggest Nicki fan. I dont see why she does all those voice changes and mumble shit, when she didnt used to 2 years ago. and I raaaarreeely like the way she dresses, but this cover is actually VERY well done!

Props to Nicki and Fader!

Shawn Chrystopher – The Audition Commercial #1

The first commercial for my “The Audition EP”! Shot by The Mighty Fifty!! This commercial is visually amazing, and not just because Im in it (partly because of it..lol).

This commercial basically expresses EXACTLY how I was feeling creating “The Audition”…and it literally just blows my mind!!!

I Witnessed History

Last night, me and MyFavoritePersonInTheWorld went to see the Lakers play the Bobcats. May not seem like a game of any relevance, especially in February, but it was a game only 20,000+ were able to experience in person. I was SUPER happy to be one of them.

No one wouldve guessed that Phil Jackson would continue coaching after the glory days in Chicago unraveled. No one wouldve guessed that he would come to the Lakers and win a championship his first year. And not ONE person couldve guessed that not only would Phil STILL be the coach of the Lakers (10 years and 6 finals appearances later) but that he would become the GREATEST COACH IN LAKER HISTORY (in regards to wins).

The Audition EP (Artwork)

Here is the final artwork for my EP “The Audition”!!!! I am SUPER fuckin excited about this project!! I’m listening to it now and I truly believe its the BEST collection of music I have ever put together!!

My dudes Mick Boogie and Terry Urban have chosen to be apart of this, and its only right because their The Press Play Show on Shad 45 was the first big radio show that ever gave me an on-air interview.

MARCH 23RD!!! IT’S GOING DOWN LIKE THE CATALINA WINE MIXER!!!!

Tracklist below…
