Welcome to The Realease

The Realease is a space in which words mix with convictions, sentences party with observations, and paragraphs flirt with shoutouts. This is where Hip-hop lovers speak candidly as intellectuals, where archetype meets archetype and find common ground. Here exist no censors, just truth. Actually, this blog is the act of letting go, the unleashing, the emancipation and the liberation of truth. So feel free to release whatever truth you may have. Welcome.

Throwback Thursdays: Ballet

At five years-old you could find me in a tutu, tights, a leotards, and a pair of ballet slippers shuffling around a Sante Fe, NM ballet studio. Those were the good days. Thinking back on those years, I am remiss for not sticking with ballet because I think I had serious potential to be one of those dancers that just make you go "wow" when you see them peform. Alas....

Nearly a decade and a half later, I found myself at the bar, grande plie-ing, feet in first position, feeling like my five year-old self again---except I wasn't surrounded by pint-sized prima ballerinas. Nonetheless, the return was nice. I felt the strength as I relev-ed and the quite zeal as the in-house pianist's fingers danced across the keys, filling the room with a playful melody that paced our excercises. Like Arnold Schwartzenegger, I'll be back and this time I just might be there to stay.

*rLa.

Ok so this maybe the tightest tape i've heard in a while....and i'm not just saying that because i speak some poetry on the joint. John Lass's new mixtape Out of the Box(soon to be released) really is pure craziness. I'll definitely be posting the official release date but in the mean time check the boy's flow

Daily Life

It's close to 4am on a Thursday night...I mean what can I say, it's spring break! My last spring break of high school & I'm sitting here with my co-author just vibin'. We've listened to a lot of dope music tonight and just marveled at the pure talent and creativity that people our age possess. Photographers, writers, dancers, poets, wrappers---anything really. Simply amazing. Be on the lookout, cuz we're here.
