MKJ :: Michael "Mikey J" Asante

So it’s been another busy week (By NOW I am hoping you expect nothing less of me which for ME would be a nice expectation!! LOL **awwwww** ) , with the last 2 studio sessions spent with the lovely @delilahmusic working on what is our take on what I would call a “New Age” SLOW Jamm EPICNESS! **jheez!!**

And She Put me on this yesterday her MixTape  ”2-4am  if you ain’t got it pick it up HERE

The UK Female Allstars VIDEO Dropped this week and this  Blog by http://www.dangerousminds.net  sent to the site by “Ron Nachmann” caught my interest Pretty bold and definitely a HUGE compliment for All involved.

Read HERE

After the read I thought I would say a few things to get how the project came about…. I was HIT up by Maurice at @soul2streets that 1Xtra were looking for a Track for A FEMALE ALLSTAR track for 1Xtra Live heard the names of all involved and thought I know what to do with this ONE!! And the rest is history!!

Stumbled across Review of N4TAL by a JacobRobAJ  and wanted to feature it in today’s Blog.
Once I watched it , this comment from him really had to be highlighted.

Watch The Full Blog Below…

And the bad day….. Well ….Got locked out my house this morning, so had to go to the studio to wait till someone gets BACK in amidst other things…. BIG up @sostarglobal (My Manger) he was on the phone at the time so got the FULL force of my frustration amongst our REGULAR business convo! LOL

AND I’ve BEEN thinking!! In about 2 Weeks gonna do WIF2 (What Im Feeling) Mix for ya, if u missed the last one pick it up HERE

But in the Meantime check out this…. Just love the chorus!! This will Defo Be on WIF2 ( DONT WATCH THE LONG INTRO!! ITs worth the wait!)

If you didn’t hear me on the ACE and VIS show earlier this week listen HERE

Obviously listen to the Great Show that is the ACE and Vis’s 1 XTRA show but go in around an hour in if you wanna hear  ME and my interview straight away….

BIG (LOL) Slip of the tongue on INTERNET RADIO ‘LIVE’ but hey I guess I am only HUMAN!

Have a GREAT Weekend, hope my day gets Better!!
