There are strategic and business reasons why Khalil is doing the tribute album he's doing. The same with Claude and YOUR projects especially. The project has to make sense on a few levels. A Dilla tribute tape is a NICE idea, but the timing is waaaaaaaaaaay off. Busta already has Dillagence 2 on the way...which is why I want Zach and Ron to do a BUSTA RHYMES vs. BUJU BANTON tape with Kev & Grap hosting. YOUR project is more important that doing a Dilla tape right now.

Oh, and NO COMPILATIONS. Yet. Again, it's a timing issue. Remix projects need the right timing too...let's not go too crazy with this yet. We've ALL got full plates already by just hanging out with my old ass.

Right now, I'm thinking about 2 more projects directed at women.; ▶ Reply to This

Heron Gibran Bio

Heron Gibran is a bit of an enigma. A true renaissance man. It hardly seems fair to call him a rapper. The word isn’t large enough. Does not encapsulate him. If you talked to him for more than five minutes about hip-hip, the state of affairs in the music industry, politics, religion, whatever…you’d understand. Rapper does not do him justice. While he considers himself a Washingtonian, Heron was actually born in the Bronx, New York. Around the same time he was born, a new street culture was emerging. As he grew, hip-hop grew. As hip-hop expanded, traveled, became more sophisticated, international…so did he. Lately, he has been working closely with long-time friend and colleague, Asheru (creator of the Boondocks theme song). Together they have performed all over the nation’s capital. Along with producer/emcee Aychell, they formed the hip-hop super-group, Black Lincolns, and released the breakthrough single “The Hustle”. Heron has also contributed music to the forthcoming Boondocks soundtrack. Over the years he has released several solo projects, the most recent being The Amnezia Haze EP. This underground classic gem is an eclectic collection of tracks, some of which were recorded overseas in Amsterdam. It also features “By Any Means” and “Dance With Me”, both produced by DJ Khalil of California’s Self-Scientific, who has also produced for The Game and Jay-Z. So…between globetrotting and helping to vitalize the DC hip hop scene and teaching graphic design to inner-city children with special needs, Heron Gibran simply defies categorization. He is anomaly in a musical landscape where simplicity rules. But he’s creating his own rules, and making coverts one handful at a time along the way.
