Soo.... I've BEEN meaning to get this footage up, but between locking in the studio, planning my next moves, and sorting through the SFW & NSFW footage, it's been tough. Me and some homies recently took a 7 day trip to Brasil and got some quality partying and promo in... I'll just let the footage speak. This i
On the plane en route to Rio de Janeiro
Airplane food... it was actually GOOD!

From Yours Truly, titled, "In Luv Witta Villain" produced by LCD. This is just one of the many songs I've been knockin' out recently, so be on the lookout for more. This is just to continue to feed you folks needed something to ride out to this summer!
The NEW HOTNESS!! Kia Shine and his newly signed group The P.R.E.P.S. bring you a QUALITY summer banger, produced by the homie LCD, Mr. Bout Dat Money! Make sure you download the track and note the beginning of something CRAZY for not only Kia Shine (Album 2000Shine coming soon), but also The P.R.E.P.S., as well as the homie LCD!
A lil diddy I dropped to the "Hammer Bros." track from the Cool Kids' most recent mixtape, Gone Fishin, hosted by DJ Don Cannon. Check it out and put on...
For SOME reason I went to sleep at 4:sumn AM and woke up at 7:00. It's Raining. I check my Twitter and see this from Rev Run:
"Good morning Kings & Queens! Be confident! Be classy! Be kind! Walk around as if u have an invisible crown on your head!"
Don't know why, but with that, I couldn't help but to think of this song...
On this rainy day, I encourage YOU to be SOMEONE'S light today. You can't shine on everyone, but I hope that you can illuminate one person's life. Lord knows Im trying :)

New ish from Foyolyfe (Test & Hotdam) with the New Vision Band. Crazy cover of the classic "No Woman, No Cry" with a Go-Go twist, even down to the lyrics (I didn't realize 'til like my 3rd listen). Be on the lookout for these guys, and we got some FIRE cookin' up... TRUST!
Just got back from MIA w/ LCD & Lil Dee. Hell of a time! Sun (sometimes), beach, black people, drinks, music, hookers, and foolery. I'll let the footage do the talking!
Just touching down at the airport.
Getting ready to head to the famous Wet Willie's for drinks.
Walking through South Beach, "The L.@.Me Mixtape" LITERALLY in stores! You can see the world famous DJ Clark Kent at about the 1:55 mark. Made sure to chop it up w/ him and hand him a mixtape. Much respect to DJ Clark Kent, cool dude.
Shouts out to the homie Jeff, I SERIOUSLY didn't plan the video like that and it worked out... Maybe I am pretty cool... *shrug*
This is what happens when you have good product.
Next stop, Rio de Janeiro in June, then Toronto in August.
Been away from blogging for a second, didn't have my charger for the laptop. However, I'm sittin' the crib (I should be packing for Miami tomorrow w/ LCD & Lil Dee) but I wanna make sure y'all get this instant classic! Yours truly along w/ Raheem DeVaughn - "Walk With You", produced by LCD's little brother, Thelonious Dre.
And just for history purposes, here's the footage of me and some homies listening to the song from ATL when Radio Raheem leaked the track at WKYS 93.9FM (Wednesday, May 13, 2009)
Doesn't it feel good to be a L.@.Me? I'm just a vessel, YOU GUYS are making the history!
Cool interview by DC's own, Wale. Of course watch the whole thing, but look out for a mention of yours truly at about 3:35 when asked who else is doing it in the DMV.
Gotta respect that... he didn't have to mention me...
BTW: I may be late on seeing this ESPN Feature,
but I personally think it deserves to be run back...
Had to save this one for a good day, my graduation from Howard University's School of Communications! The big one is tomorrow, but here's a lil gift from me to the L.@.Me's via the homie Ricosuave. Quality project, great production (even got LCD on there), concepts, the whole package. Check it out by clicking HERE!
The big homie LCD brings something for the ladies and fellas alike to ride to! This is a HIT! Spread the word and feel honored to be a part of history!
Ice the Villain...
MC, Howard University alumnus, and breath of fresh air out of PG County, MD.
Remember when you were a child and everything was fun and carefree? Remember when "responsibility" and "reality" kicked in and you realized that life was more than recess, and lunchables? Fast-forward to today...
Welcome to "Venom City". Disease, poverty, hunger, political unrest, and even worse, wack ass music. Things aren't the same anymore. Good thing there's Ice the Villain. Don't think "villain" in the sense of "bad guy", "gangsta", or "ignorant rapper", but when everyone from the once-trusted politicians to record executives are brainwashing and feeding poison, the one bringing something different is probably gonna be viewed as the evildoer, huh? Guess that's me...
This page reflects the lifestyle of randomness, flyness, foolishness, and most importantly, QUALITY in every sense of the word.... feel free to peruse the site, comment, and ask questions...
If You Don't, who will?
