Wow, hey guys. I haven’t blogged since November. It’s 2012! I wanted to post a quick life update. Things have been so busy & I am thankful for that. In December, I experienced something beautiful & life changing. A group from my church in NJ of 12 young adults (including my girlfriend Erika) and I flew to China. We visited an orphanage named Shepherd’s Field Children’s Village located in a town called Tianjin. This orphanage is funded 100% by donations from the US, and it houses only special needs children. These kids have been neglected, and some of them even left for dead. There were 88 children in the orphanage when we arrived. The goal at SFCV is to love these kids, teach them at the school located on campus, and help find them a “Forever Family” to adopt them. At the age of 14, an orphan is forced to go out into the world by either finding a job, or being thrown into an adult home. 14 years old…think about that for a minute. Most of them will spend the rest of their lives in those homes. My girlfriend Erika & I made a video the last day we were in China, that focuses on the children at Shepherd’s Field. Check it out in this post here, and please share it. You can go to chinaorphans.org and find out more about the orphanage. On the site, you can find info on sponsoring a child. It ends up being about 1 dollar a day. Everyone cannot afford to spend money, so if you wouldn’t mind, you can truly help by SPREADING AWARENESS. Please share the video I’ve posted above. You can also share the video thru this YouTube link. Thanks for listening to this rant. God bless you guys.

p.s. Leaving for Brooklyn, NY to start working with OnCue again on new music! Follow me on Twitter - @CJLuzi to follow the journey.

Can’t Wait dropped today. It finally dropped. We spent about a year working on this project. I feel like there’s a lot I could say about it, about this day, these die hard fans, but I won’t. I’m just gonna say… thank you. Mac has the #1 album in the country right now as an independent. His fans are committed. Spread Can’t Wait. You guys are such a huge part of this. I definitely gotta thank the Lord for continually blessing me with new ideas and inspiration for this tape. There were ~~a few…~~ many late nights where I was drained and stuck, but He brought it all together.

Here you go. This is “Better Than Before” by OnCue. Produced by me. This is the final music video before Can’t Wait drops November 16th.

if a person (like me) thought your beats were sick, are they affordable or do I now gotta have that Sony dough to get one to rap over?

DJ’s Mick Boogie & Terry Urban hosted an amazing project two years ago called “Viva La Hova”. It’s a mashup cd of famous Jay-Z and Coldplay songs. They have rereleased it, except it’s remastered. Also, there are two new bonus songs. I’m pleased to inform you that I produced one of those two new records. My song is called “Lucifer and Friends”.
