Continuing the tradition from last year's "Love With Love", we got a new song up for everyone's favorite romantically flavored corporate holiday.
Free download at Bandcamp for the lonely!

Been a while since the last update. Got quite a few things in the works. This is one of them.
The Black Dog Sessions is a growing collection of live studio performances of Witness songs as arranged by myself and my touring band, The Family Secret. The EP's tracklist will be assembled through fan requests over the course of the next year while we're putting together the full length album. So if you have any of my songs you'd like to hear live, we want to hear them. Hit the comments. Hit Facebook. Hit on your friend's girlfriend by telling her you wrote these songs for her.
"Watercolors" from The Everafter LP
"Yesterday's Wake" from The Evermore EP
Additionally, the songs are available for purchase on Bandcamp as the album is being assembled!

It features works from Marcus D, Dela, Terry Callier and the work of some other fantastic musicians. Best part? You can download it for free courtesy of The Word Is Bond below.

I've been lucky enough to get quite a bit of press in the last months. Interviews, reviews and articles. Rather than putting them on my Facebook wall and distracting you from the almost-funny cat pictures the kid you once had a class with is posting, I'll keep them contained here in a series of posts.
XXL: I was inexplicably featured in a short interview on XXL magazine's site. Wow. I took the opportunity to answer all questions as seriously as possible. You can read it here.
Complex: Complex magazine and I talk about some behind-the-scenes stuff regarding the commercials, my less-than-ideal dealings with celebrities and discuss whether "underground" exists anymore. You can read it here.
DoesLikeMusic: A fine review of the Philadelphia date from my brief East Coast tour with my live band, The Family Secret. Read it here.
Potholes In My Blog: A very nice review of The Everafter LP. "Witness leaves nary a detail lost, which is a trait that most folks would fiend for in an MC." Read it here.
Rap Reviews: A shining, incredibly detailed review of The Everafter LP from a website I grew up reading. "Like any great jazz record, it's unquestionably tasteful, and Witness reaches a new level of charm with his bedazzling lyrical portraits, innovative vocal approach, beautiful beats, and verses that are nothing if not sheer poetry." Read it here.
Mezzic: A single girl's opinion of The Everafter LP. Flattering. "Comprised of only ten songs this album may be short, but it is emotes a sensuous vibe that leaves you wanting more." Read it here.
My Portable Mind: Another review that was far too hilarious to leave out of this round up. Knife attacks, not-quite-safe-for-work photography and a track by track appraisal? Gold. "Even if you aren't attracted by slick instrumentals, brutally introspective and endearing lyricism and a voice so velvety that it makes Snoop Dogg sound like a prepubescent drag queen, you'll probably dig at least a couple tracks on here." Read it here.

Witness shirts have been in the making since the beginning of time. So I'm relieved to announce that limited quantities of the first shirt designs are finally available over at the Witnesshiphop.com Store! Printed on American Apparel Unisex Tees and available in red and brown. If you're not feeling it, happen to be a Republican or just suck at making out, fear not, because more designs are on the way!
