The Wait Is Finally Over...

The wait is finally over... SideStreet KED Feat. Muffy "Hey U!" The Official Video. Shot & Edited By: Jaeson "Dirty" Williams of The Dirty Boy Social Club Produced By: Organized Noize Written By: SideStreet KED Courtesy of: SideStreetMusicGroup/DungeonEastRecordings/DungeonFamily From The Forthcoming Project By SideStreet KED Entitled "The Push Button Future"



They say "Anything worth having is worth working for". Well, if they don't... they should and this video is proof of that statement. I've faced obstacle after obstacle surrounding this song, video and project overall including lost session files at one point, system crashes, corrupted hard drives, getting kicked out of the W hotel (The original video location) for obvious reasons, blown ad deals, contractual dis-agreements etc... The list goes on. There were people, "Friends" & "Family" that suggested that it just wasn't meant to be but, in my heart I knew that it was. Sometimes we stumble and we need help to get back up. Sometimes there's no one else around to help you so you have to get back up on your own.



Life has a way of giving you just enough to keep you wanting more. The morning of Day 1 was crazy! Most of it was spent in a cloud of smoke trying to track and collect the last bits of a checklist of items while on the phone with Muffy going over details.



I really wasn't sure what to expect before hand. I usually just go with the flow so that day was no different. The girls were already at holdings, the crew was on set, the W Hotel had been paid and the key to the corner suite was ready for pick up. Muffy & I Arrive ready to work.



As Muffy, The Girls & I change, Dirty & The camera crew begin to load in at the W. That's when everything goes wrong. The W Hotel realized what we intended to do in their fine establishment and deemed it not to be welcome. So, after a long drawn out explanation and a few cuss words Not to mention 75% of the all girl cast leaving upon hearing the news (I guess they only do videos shot in hotels) we change locations and continue on.



What we ended up with was an awesome group of people that came to have fun. The shoot ended up lasting all day & when it was over there was feathers everywhere! Think... Morning after a rave party. New friendships were formed, new projects formulated and Life had happened.



I would like to thank Muffy for being a part of this song & helping me to bring it to life. I would also like to thank Folami. I wouldn't be able to do any of this without you being there with me every step of the way. I would also like to thank Ray Murray for creating the perfect soundscape for "Hey U!" & last but, not least and at least not forgotten... That dude Dirty and The Dirty Boy Social Club for putting it all together.

AKA: The War On Normal

AKA: The War On Normal... If you missed Dirty Hollywood v13... You have no life! The one year anniversary of the Dirty Hollywood Showcase was Freakin Awesome!!! If you didn't know... SideStreet KED is Crazy!!! Self Diagnosed with Multiple Personality Disorder it's hard to anticipate which one will show up at any given moment but, at Dirty Hollywood last Thursday all of them came out to play. There's SideStreet, The wild one that likes to smoke, drink and have a good time. There's KED, The most sane of the bunch that usually keeps everything in perspective and likes to deliver subtle messages to the crowd. He's very educated, well rounded, cultured & has a college degree. KED is energetic, loves art, music & film, plays guitar & bass & is most known for his charm & wit. Then there's The Effn. Hot headed & Conceited with little to no regard for anything other than himself with a mouth that tends to get them all in trouble. There's also The GangLeader, A Street kid raised by various Thugs, Hoodlums & Gangbangers. Along with The Effn, The GangLeader is known for giving them all a bad reputation. The Avenue Kid is a 15 year old revolutionary child prodigy. Leaving High School for Higher Education he's well studied in a wide range of fields from History & Culture to Poly Sci but, at the current moment he seems to be enthralled in the study of The Chaos Theory. Although known for being a smart aleck, He's most known for rambling off useless information about the most random subjects at the most appropriate or inappropriate times. Most of them get along most of the time because they are all fighting for the same thing... The Destruction of Normal.

Performing at a Dirty Hollywood is always fun. It reminds me of the old Drunken Unicorn shows I performed on like Fuggin Awesome and Thi!nK N3w... when there was an energetic crowd, A stage full of prima donnas & Yelawolf was hanging upside down from the beams on the ceiling. The energy felt good. Boredom had to feel the asswhoopin' I dropped on it that night.

THIS IS A WAR ON ALL THINGS NORMAL. The enemy's most powerful weapons are Common & Regular. People, please protect your minds. Be Different. Think New. Boredom is the Devil!

Be entertained. Join the fight to enjoy life! Stop being controlled by Mass Communication. Why find enjoyment only in the things that we are told we should enjoy? Why not seek out the things that bring us joy for ourselves? Do you enjoy my music? Have you ever seen a live performance? Have you watched my videos? Do you follow me on Facebook or Twitter? Learn the Freakin Words!!! Everybody Sing!!! If you came to be Boring then you are a soldier for the Normal army. I will destroy you.

Wake Up!!! We are under constant attack. Our most valuable possession is our time. Use it wisely. SSK

Atlast Clothing

After The Release Party For Adrift Da Belle's New Mixtape "Drift Chronicles" at Indigo Bar last night, I decided to head over to Eastside lounge for the Wratchet Party hosted by The DBSC. Out Front AtLast Clothing was set up with a merch table full of limited edition AtLast T shirts. I've been following them on Facebook & Twitter for a while & I've always liked their work so when I realized who they were I got excited! Anyone that knows me, knows that I have a certain taste when it comes to fashion & style so, when I see something that I really like I try to support it. As a kid I didn't know any better and I would buy into brands that were popular. I guess that was to be on the safe side. Now I buy into brands for various reasons but, quality is what I consider to be the most important. As a kid I was the same way with music. I started off buying into popular brands then developed a more defined taste as I was exposed to more music. Now, I've learned the power of the purchasing dollar. I've learned that you have to buy into what you believe in. Help it grow & nurture it to make sure that it will continue to be there. In a world where money rules, many ideas, inventions, concepts & talents go unnoticed due to lack of funding, exposure, advertisements etc... We have to support each other so, staring at the AtLast Clothing table in front of Eastside Lounge last night, already sold just trying to decide which shirt I'm going buy, they say "SideStreet KED? I've been following you since like '08. Have one on the house." The Effn. Check out Atlast Clothing On Twitter:

The Effn In Tokyo...

Whuttup Tokyo??? It's The Effn!!! I usually post those words to twitter upon arrival in every city but, I'm not sure I've received quite the same response everywhere I've been. In the past 12 months I've done more traveling than ever before. Although I've told myself that I would start blogging about the places I've been, I have to say that Japan has inspired me to start now. I was moved by the passion for culture, art, music & fashion that thrives there. It started to remind me of how Melrose & Little 5 Points used to be in L.A. & Atlanta. What's missing now that was there then?

It really didn't matter that everything was written in a different language. From the moment I stepped off the plane I felt at home. Tropical weather, palm trees and a city that seemed to be 3x bigger than New York. Somehow, They still manage to maintain the quietest, most friendly city I've ever visited. Growing up in the states, I was heavily influenced in my beliefs about Japanese culture. While there I realized that I knew little of the Japanese concept of religion and decided to visit some of the Shinto Temples around Tokyo.

After visiting the temples and familiarizing myself with the Shinto way of thought, I began to gather insight into the Japanese culture and philosophy. I cleansed my mind with the water from the fountains. Offered my respect & prayers at the altar and played some music on my guitar... All before noon.

Lunch in Japan??? This should be interesting. Actually, I love sushi! Certain kinds anyway so, we go to the SelfServe Sushi Bar in Akibahara and Lush on Sushi & Asahi Beer.

After Lunch, it was time to hit my favorite spot in Tokyo... Harajuku "Where the Kids come out to play" (Yeah, I just made that catch phrase up). It's like a Shopping, Fashion, Art, Music explosion. I go into Spinns and get mobbed with cameras. After about 45 minutes, a bunch of photos with the staff and GOD Harajuku... I leave out with a new bag, a lego watch and a few misc. items. If ever in Tokyo this store is a must visit.

Tokyo is a city full of action and I won't even begin to mention the part about being there with Nile Rodgers and Chic Rocking 2 Shows a night at the Blue Note Tokyo... The energy was insane! But, I guess I'll just say that the whole experience was full of "Good Times" and leave it at that. The Effn.
