The Anything Manifesto

Anything
is an expectation of the unexpected
based on the idea of desperation
the demands
the pressure
the need
this album was a diamond
made under extreme pressure
the pure desires we have as a generation
I thought about it today I wanna write a song called "Terrible 20's"
its like the terrible two's all over again
but 4 a decade
we are under the pressure 2 be cool,be remembered,get an education,be
well read,live on our own,be sexy,be perfect, be flawed,have
money,have a career,be seen,know how 2 cook,be famous,be successful,be
someone,find someone, be married its the most human time of our lives
all in one decade
the expectations are unreal
so is the album
we are under the pressure 2 do Anything
Anything being the name of the album
the album made under expectation
its a product of its time while trying 2 be ahead of it
it will sound beautiful
its proof we are all beautiful
we are Anything
given a chance
The undiscovered
The unexplained
Anything
its so uncertain that we want it so bad
Anything
an unquenchable request
We are the possible
The Anything
we aren't what they said we are
We are Anything we decide 2 be
And I have.

"Anything." is on the way.

"On" Radio: Def Sound - Last Song Of My Life (W/Strings by Kyle Malkin)

Why not make the last song of your life on your 1st full project?
"Something." was my 1st... Sometimes I forget about it...
Many of you never got your ears hoooked on it
This selection is dark introspective and each line is written as a last greeting to myself and others like me..
"Wave goodbye to the Hello's"
This song brings out my ALL in every line, every time I have ever performed it...
A a composer and good friend of mine Kyle Malkin added strings to his favorite song on the record and recently emailed it to me
I slipped and re fell in love with it.. I hope you do 2!

"On" Radio: Def Sound - Pocket Full of Dreams (Snippet)

Def Sound is a REALLY weird rapper who thinks he's a poet
who records incomplete songs
and puts them out on his REALLY long named blog
and sets no trends,
makes song about nothing because its easy,
has no bars,
breaks no ground,
is really just trying 2 make what everyone else is already making and pass it off as new
In fact by the end of the year he thinks he will have 2 new Mixtapes out
one called "Loose Change Vol.3: Love Sold Separately" and "The Same Mixtape the Mixtape"
Both will be wack
and is REALLY Sarcastic.
Hope you guys hate this song as much as I do!

"On" Radio: Def Sound x The Tomorrow- Junkie (LIVE Rock Remix)

Greetings intronet heads.
Its Def
and ummmm I have been sitting on this audio since "Something." came out
WAAAAAAAY back in May of 08
I feel its finally time 2 let the idea out the bag due to the dopeness of the shows
and the boredom of the over flooding of studio music ALL over the place
I will be one of the first on my local scene to record and release not a mixtape but a live album Titled "The Natural."
Which I plan on recording in June in a loft downtown
waaay more intimate setting wouldn't you agree??
(and yes you are invited)
But for now here's a preview of the liveness with my band The Tomorrow @ The Temple Bar (Simeon Shigg on keys, Mike on guitar, Will Hawkins on bass, Kev "Roosevelt" Moore II on drums, additional vocals by Novena Carmel, Poetic, and YG)
Please mind you this was our first performance EVER as a band together
with just one rehearsal the night before.
Somethings are just Natural
Puns intended.
Enjoy and spread the word like legs....

Def Sound The Natural x Spliff Interview Part 2

Welcome to the part Dos of the Spliff Interview
OK back 2 your regularly scheduled program


Spliff: What is it like performing at the Spliff/or what are you expecting out of performing at the Spliff?

Def Answer: Performing @ the Spliff back in April of 2008 was my first solo rap performance to be honest. That experience was quite crazy because I know people thought I was about to do a pretty little poem and BAM! The beat drops and I end up passing out on stage...I felt both myself and the crowd were experiencing something refreshing and brand new @ the same time. I thank Val and Verbs for giving me that shot.
I feel this time around the crowd knows all they can expect is thee unexpected from me.


Spliff: What is the Spliff crowd to you/or what would you like to get out of the Spliff crowd

Def Answer: I don't feel like I have to get anything but their attendance and open minds I will do all the giving. The Spliff crowd is a room full of gifted people donating their time and attention to something they all believe in. For free!!! Where else can you get that? I will go on record and say it should remain free it's a part of the venues entire allure where else can you see the world next whoever or whatever for free?? You can't put a price on it.


Spliff: What does the Spiff movement mean to you, LA, Hip Hop, music?

Def Answer: It means humble beginnings for many like myself it's a home for the same and the different. It's the perfect mix of fresh, free, and love for the rawest artists in Los Angeles. It's the most important venue in Los Angeles in my opinion. Maybe I am bias you gotta love home its where your heart is.



Spliff: Here are a few words for you to either write a personal definition for or just write the first thing that comes to mind or how it make you feel

1.)HiP HOP

Def Answer: The voice of the misunderstood and unheard.

2.)Music

Def Answer: Unlimited universal language medicine and movies we just cant see.

3.)MCs

Def Answer: Overrated.

4.)LA

Def Answer: A city sooo foggy its home to a sky so full of stars there's no more sky to limit us cuz we are all already stars right? I promise to make the rest of these shorter Haha.

5.)the DJ

Def Answer: The forgotten.

6.)Art

Def Answer: Everything.

Fin.
