West Coastin'

Big Up Irish Producer Danny Diggs who recently got placement on the new Killah Priest album. I have said it before too many people sit on their laurels and wait around for shit to happen for them, "Nobody gives it you, you gotta take it"

Danny has been around a few years and is not short on self belief which is needed and shows a few others what can be done if you put your mind to it..

While I think of it Danny used to work alongside another Irish producer called Mista Sick, I first met Mista Sick about 6 years ago, the guy used to get death on a certain forum for his production style (He was way ahead of the game when it came to down south hip-hop too, he must have been the only person I knew with Chamillionaire, Three 6 Mafia, Lil Flip and all them on tape in 02) but he kept at it and has worked with some big names and has produced music for a B.E.T series.

Anyway...Props to Danny Boy from the West Coast...Galway :)

Notorious Movie

I'm really looking forward to this, Biggie is my hero.
Brooklyn Rapper Gravy plays the lead, Gravy is famous for signing a massive lucrative deal with Warner a few years ago, then being shelved, then being shot, then ghost writing for Foxy Brown. Not that I'd say he cares, He has an acting career now.

New Angerville

Shout out to Angerville...
I did a track with these guys when I was out in Toronto for some shows a while back, and although Canada is colder than cold, these guys can heat it up in the booth.

Their new ish is called 'Stop Frontin' and even though the genre of dissin' fronting rappers is kinda tired at this stage they keep it fresh on this and the video looks really nice. Shout out to Fortunato's wife who likes to play bashment reggae at 7am and my man G who drove me around T Dot..These guys work damn hard



You can check more music from the guys here

Rob Kelly & Republic Of Loose

This is an exclusive (No Clue)as I haven't laid my vocals yet but there is going to be a collaboration between myself and Mick from top rated Irish Funk/Pop band the Republic Of Loose on the album. The Pro Tools Session is in the post as they say and it's a Mike Donnelly beat so its a good combination..

Shout out to the Loose...

DJ Semtex & Rob Kelly

Me & Semtex linked up last night in Belfast @ Thompsons. Thompsons is THE Spot.Shout Out to those who reached. Sem murdered it on the 1s & 2s - That's the difference between him and these fly by night club dj's - Semtex is a thorough hip-hop head and although he played club shit too - his selection was so nice.

Shout to the owners of the club too who kept the drinks coming, don't try go drink for drink with Semtex though he will body you on Jack Daniels...(you would think he was Irish)

We put our heads together and came up with a genius idea, I'm giving nothing away yet but 09 IS SO MINE (I'm gonna copywrite that shit btw)

Sem is keeping schtum too http://djsemtex.wordpress.com/

New Kanye

Love Lockdown

Premiered this on the VMAS.
I don't give a fuck what anyone says about a) Autotune being played out or b) Any Kanye west hating because as far as I'm concerned, he is doing pretty good as far as geniuses go and is now for me, THAT GUY when it comes to whose LP I eagerly anticipate every year

Anyone who doesn't love this is mad at themselves.

New S.A.S & Cam'ron

Told ya this would unfold...S.A.S back with Cam'ron after their split from Juelz.
(Cam'ron recently sold Juelz' contract back to Def Jam for 2 mil)

"Nothing Long"

Free The Krutch

My good friend Frankie Krutches is currently serving a sentance in a New Jersey Prison for assorted Scallywag behaviour.

Frank was originally a member of Dipset and many will remember him for his infamous "Krutch Dance" in the video for Cam'ron's "Hey Ma" before falling out with Jim Jones & Cam at a later stage.

Frank and I became friends a couple of years ago when we were both rostered to a TV Show called 16 Bars, A perfomance based ppv event that was scheduled to take place in the Hammerstein Ballroom, unfortunately (or fortunately whatever way you look at it) the show never materialised but we still kept in contact and began to do some work together.

I owe Frank a lot, he plugged me into the mixtape thing and opened a lot of doors for me. He has been doing a lot of work with Cassidy lately and opened up a brand new studio "The C4 WarRoom" in his new jersey home, where everyone from Cassidy,Maino and Red Cafe have been recording, when Frank gets out I will be over to record some new material with him.

We had a ball when him and his assistant Eddie B (No Pillow Talk) came to Ireland last year, we ended up doing an impromptu performance in Spirit on a Friday night, Snoop was in town so the crowd were expecting some of his entourage to be in town so when he came through and performed it was a bonus for the crowd who gave him the full celebrity treatment. LOL @ Frank & Eddie B driving around Dublin in a rental.

If anyone wants to write to him in Jail hit me on the myspace and I will give out his address

S.A.S Split from Juelz' Skull Gang

Following recent rumours that Juelz Santana got robbed in London, over an alleged £70 grand debt to some UK promoters for shows that weren't performed, Juelz made an appearance on www.worldstarhiphop.com stating that he still had all of his jewellery and that all was good in London, strangely enough he didn't mention his London Affiliates S.A.S in the video.

Word has it he was surrounded in a hotel and things were about to get ugly and Mega and Mayhem from S.A.S helped sort out a tense situation but Juelz didn't acknowledge that in his video and this has led to the duo breaking all ties with Juelz.

Spoke to May last night and this is about to take an interesting turn :)

Out on I-Tunes September 30th Please do cop this and show support. Ammo has invested a lot of time and money into this project and has high hopes for it, some people are mad sceptical on how it will do but I hope it does well for him.

King Apparel

Rob Kelly in XXL Magazine

For those that don't know I was in the September Issue of XXL.
Shout to Mel my publicist (and part-time mentor) for making this happen
I have had a lot of moments in my career so far that people would consider a big look and this was certainly one of them. Props to the folks @ XXL Magazine for the nice feature and shout to Evolution Apparel for the custom Jacket.

I have now been in XXL & HHC so if I can add 'The Source' to the CV I'll complete what would have seemed an ambitious hat-trick at the beginning of my rap life... :)

Kellovision

"Kellovision" is a documentary about me that I have been threatening to release for the last few years :)









It basically contains a lot of footage shot by my man G.Leech, following me around on my travels doing live shows etc









I have to say I haven't been as dilligent with the camera as I should have been and I have let a lot of good ops pass but there is a lot of good ish in there, which is currently being edited by my man Yung Rexy, who will be hitting us with a trailer soon to launch the Youtube Channel.

I will be updating the channel frequently and some stuff to look forward to is me doing some stuff for Vlad TV and the making of the new Video for the first buzz single off of "Kell's Kitchen"









Here was the last video shot by the Lambert Brothers "Dropkicked"

Shout out to my man Boxer Andy Lee who came to the video as well as a gang of models including Claire Tully
