8 Days To Record

2010-09-07T17:20:00.000-07:00

For everybody sending me messages asking about the meaning behind the project and the details on it, I thought to break it down a little...I know Big K.R.I.T. made a track titled “Hometown Hero”. But anyone that's been following me knows we came up with this project the beginning of '09, it took so long to finish this because of changes of studios, and me wanting to perfect this. I thought the name alone stood for something big, now it's becoming bigger than we planned it to be. I felt like this is a project for everybody I know, have met, everyone in my city, and all over. That's a hometown hero. Not saying I'm saving my city...but I am in a way. I got 8 days left til I have to turn this project in, so right now as I blog this via the studio, I'm mixing and recording final tracks. I kept it light on the features, its more so about me, LaVish. I'm proud of every song off this. October 26th y'all!!!! Tell a friend

October 26th

2010-08-25T10:48:00.000-07:00

I'm not fond of dropping dates for my releases, but expect this on time as far as my knowledge goes. “Hometown Hero”. Anybody that's been following me knows I been pumping this for awhile now. I recently got a distribution deal with iHip Hop, I won't say all the details on that, but I'm blessed for the oppurtunity. We got a lot lined up for the near future, new site coming so I won't be on this much. I been putting everyday into this project, working with the right people for the right reasons. Everybody wanna work with the right people for the wrong reasons, meaning just for the buzz and exposure. I'm not big on features, so whoever I do feature will be out of love and respect for their music. October 26th is looking like the official release date, via stores, itunes, etc. No more free downloads. I think I've given enough free music away, now its about support and see who really appreciates the music. I'm not looking to sell a platinum album because I know I'm not there yet, but it won't hurt to distribute my own shit and get us poppin. That's why if you got something you highly believe in, don't short yourself on how far you can take it.

2010-07-31T18:44:00.000-07:00

I feel like I'm Dr. Dre working on Detox. Something people been waiting on for forever. I don't like talking about what I got going but for the people paying attention, I guess they deserve to know a little something. The process of Hometown Hero is a crazy one, every song I learn more about myself. I feel the difference between this and my past mixtapes is more aggression, more about Dijon, and not LaVish. I looked back on those projects and told myself people deserve to know the real me, it gets deeper than what I'm wearing, or what girls I'm messing with. Listeners now can't be cheated, they shouldn't be. I wanna show people who I am as a all around artist. Not rapper. I produced a lot of the album because I had some shit to say that no other producer could offer. It's my story. It's who I am. I got some motivation and drive from watching the people who I admire as people. And artist. Most rappers now paint a facade for you, I just want to give those who know about me and even more so the ones who don't, a reason to fall in love with my message, my story, my glory. I'm not perfect, so I may say some shit you may not agree with, with songs like Women Be Shopping, but it all makes sense and hopefully everyone can enjoy. All of August I'm just going to be pushing this project and perfecting it as much as possible. Spread the word for me. New site coming soon as well. In the meantime, be cool.

Been absent from my blog lately, out here working on the project and a million and one other things. I've learned to keep what you got going silent, everyone doesn't need to know your business. As long as they can see the work and what you're getting out of it, that's enough. These past few weeks I've been learning a lot, but it's all been lessons learned, no complaints, just growth. Hometown Hero, coming soon.

For everybody that doesn't know, that's my official project. The single 'Cranberry Juice' will be out this month, (if the Lakers win I'll drop it then). So for this summer that's my main focus. I'm keeping the features all to a minimum, and a lot of the production is coming from me. I'll be sure to keep people updated on everything I got going. And, www.whadduplavish.com coming real soon as well.

Life has been good and progressing a lot lately. People seeing my vision, there's still some to lack the need to give me my credit. Its all good in my opinon. I feel "Hometown Hero" will be something everyone will love. From songs like "Women Be Shopping" to "Been Wavvy" its an all around different project. I'm looking to drop it this summer. And "You Came Up" video, this Tuesday.

Haven't been on my blog shit much since the tape dropped. Pretty good success, I'm thankful for everybody who downloaded that and told a friend. Now I'm working on the final project, "Hometown Hero". I plan on this being a 16 track album full of original music. I got a couple new features yall may know about. This is something I'll be spending the next 3 months on. Something to really reflect me so people can find out who I really am. Expect some videos and a few leaks in the meantime. First single off it is "Cranberry Juice" produced by LAUSD. I'm doing a lot of the production on this end. In the recording process I been listening to a bunch of my older influences, to bring back that old feeling. Feel Me ?
