Uncool Laurence: My Cool Story

28 08 2015

RedSkyDraft

Here I am less than a month before I reach a milestone in my life, turning 30. Before I did that I had to achieve another personal goal of mine which was to put out more music. After dropping my first EP, The Wave, I felt like there was still more for me to do and develop as an artist.

This time around I focused more on my delivery and flow, original production, and of course the pen game is vicious. I titled it My Cool Story, to further give the world an idea of who I am as a person and my experiences. I got a little bit of everything on here from a song about relationships, to a personal ode to my father, and even some comedy from my bro Ant Dogg.

I’m impressed with my growth as an artist and I feel you will share the same thoughts on my latest project. Enjoy muthafuckas!

Uncool Laurence: The Wave EP

11 11 2014

TheWaveResized     Over the past few of months I’ve been met with the adversity that life hands us to test, and build strength. My thoughts were running rampant in my mind, which led to me falling back in love with writing, hence it’s my way of self-expression and finding tranquility. I took all my thoughts at the time and created metaphors and witty punchlines to share my feelings with the world. I then picked out beats that matched my emotions and smooth rap voice, to create my first EP, The Wave. Read the rest of this entry »

NextUp: U-N-I

4 08 2008


In the early 90’s, West Coast Hip Hop was introduced to the world by the likes of Ice-T, NWA, The D.O.C., and many others. Since the West Coat branded itself as the gangsta capital of hip hop, many artists like Snoop Dogg, Tha Dogg Pound, and The Game helped perpetuate the reputation of West Coast gangsta rap. While a majority of artists from the West Coast typically represent the street life of the West, a new duo in hip hop is coming with something fresh and new. Meet U-N-I, two dope and innovative MC’s who hail from Inglewood, CA. U-N-I consists of intelligent emcee Thurzday, and Y-O who rocks a signature Mohawk. Not only do they possess dope rhymes, they have a unique fashion style and are big time sneakerheads. Read the rest of this entry »
