New Track: King Author ft. Haleem- It's Alright 2020

   

   Peace, my brother Haleem and I decided to drop some data over Jigga's classic "It's Alright".  Just a little background on Haleem, his name was "Illy Vas" and was the founder of Noble Scity. If you followed my work you probably seen how much work I 've done with Zagnif Nori, who is my comrade and also a member. Expect to see us do more work. Stream the track below!!

Updates + 2020 Guest Appearances

  Peace world, I've been neglecting this page however that ends now. I don't have to tell you that it's been a crazy time and I will that everybody is good despite it all.  We have to do what we have to do regardless cause we have no choice other than continue on. Now to get that out the way, I have yet to release a project, however HiSpeed Network has been at work. We introduced a new member Southside Jonesy who released 2 projects "Stolyn Byx" and "Suburban City Life" and the vet Oak Lonetree dropped "The Loner" with Chairman Chow.  Click on the links below to get them!

  Now as far as me, although I haven't released a project yet this year, I have done plenty of guest appearances this year from albums, eps, compilations and singles. I didn't even realize how many I did until started typing this. Support the projects I was featured on if you could.

OAKINGADZ OUT NOW!! (Digital+CD)

   Peace, haven't done an update here in a while (I know I'm the worst) however life comes first. Let's get right to it, a few weeks ago Oak Lonetree and I dropped OAKINGADZ which was fully produced by EGADZ. For a short background, in 2015 Oak and I wrote and recorded, what would turn out to be, the first track to the project. Since Gadz was pretty much out the game at the time and we were both in between projects, I suggested we use the best beats of his that we never used and make a secret project that we wouldn't show Gadz until it was done to show him our appreciation for everything. 

    Oak was at the start of his sobriety getting his life together and I was already sober for about a year and 1/2, so working on this was both therapeutic and a bonding experience. The illest shit was showing Gadz, seeing his shock and awe, which made all that work worth it.

 

 OAKINGADZ is now available on this blog and bandcamp exclusively as a digital and very limited physical release that just dropped today!!! Click the link  below to get it!! As a brand, the entire team is working to end the year strong so stay plugged in....Peace!

New Project: Tap Out- Lord of all Worldz

      Peace, the HiSpeed team would like to present a new EP by Tap Out. Just for a brief history on Tap, he is my rhyme partner in a group called Beyond Measure for about 15 years which was part of a larger group called the CADETS. After the CADETS era ended, Tap did features on most of my projects and did shows with me as the HiSpeed movement took legs. Now he finally gets to drop his first project of this decade, let off his rounds and I couldn't be more proud.  I worked with him every step of the way just like the old days and exceeded our expectations of evolving his sound and overall aura. I'm honored that he would trust me enough to help direct him in making the best project he could.  The sonic back drop provided by Willy Low, EvillDewer, Raw B+Scientist, and Pace respectively, provided a wide range of sound to bring the lyrics to life.  Speaking of the lyrics, Tap is in top form.  They are strongly rooted in the teachings of Allah's 5% without sounding forced, preachy or corny, however it is clear that these are hardcore rhymes coming from the wisdom of GOD.  As for the supporting cast we kept in the family with The Dunnas(Oak Lonetree+Dese), Darkstar, Zagnif Nori and myself.  Everybody did an outstanding job in doing what they needed to do to make this project special. I am sure yall will love the EP as much as we loved making it.  The link to purchase and video for the Tap Out single is below!!!!

Mercenary Sessions 3: Japanese Holdout (LImited Edition CD) Out Now!!!

    Peace, I appreciate all the supporters who got a digital copy of MS3, you are all greatly appreciated and essential to the operation. On my last project, Mixed Reality, I decided to only make it available digitally. I was thinking there was no longer a demand for physical copies until quite a bit of people were disappointed there weren't any. Since this project was the last of the MS series and the only one that was actually on sale I decided it was fitting to make physicals for this one. The only catch is that it's limited so when they are gone....that's it!!! Either get it directly through me with Paypal or Band camp which you can click on both below.......if possible we can also connect physically and you can get off me like that.  Get plugged in!!!

Immediate Future Plans

       

       Peace, now that we took a look back let's take a quick look forward as far as my future work and the rest of HiSpeed Network.  First on the list is my project "Mercenary Sessions 3: Japanese Holdout".  This will be the final chapter in the series however I promise it will be the the perfect ending to the trilogy and the hardest one.  I don't want to give too much away however it will be coming soon.  My long time rhyme partner and brother in living mathematics Tap Out will be putting out his project LOAW(Lord of all Worlds).  Even though he's been featured on most of my projects, this will be his first project since the start of the decade which I will be overseeing.  Coming off the Bully Mammoth album Oak Lonetree is working on his project with Boston legend Insight. There is A LOT MORE to be said however all of that is classified until it is time......make sure to get plugged in....Peace!!!!!!

     

A look back @ 2017(HiSpeed Edition)

   Peace to all, if you're reading this that means you made it to 2018....congratulations...your pat on the back is in the mail.  Pardon the lack of updates, this thing called life is unpredictable and I strive to ride as well as create the waves as they come as best I can however at times I fall short. Let's get right to it, for those that haven't been following me on social media or any other outlets, 2017 was a great year musically artistically and exposure wise for HiSpeed Network.  We set off the year with Oak Lonetree's "Bully Mammoth" and followed up with my EP "Mixed Reality.

       

                                                                                     
   These projects had as making the the rounds all on blogs locally and globally with one of them being Insomniac Magazine which is the current breeding ground for big name as well as up and coming underground talent. We rocked stages all over Mass, RI and Long Beach together and respectively. We also hit as many local radio shows as we could to spread the technology like with our fam over at OverDog Radio and got a lot of play from something as global as Sirius XM from such legends as Tony Touch, DJ Premier(crazy) and DJ Eclipse.  Speaking of DJ Eclipse after 2 cancellations due to events out of everyone's control and not thinking it was gonna happen we were finally able to go to his Rap is Outta Control show and have one of the most surreal moments of our lives.  I still look at the pictures and am still amazed that with no connections, manager or publicist we were able to do certain things many won't be able to based on talent and pure intention.

   
    I also did a few features last year. I did one with for my G DJ Enyoutee's single series called "Head Hunting" with my brother Zagnif Nori.  If yall rock with me, that's a name you see a lot rockin with me and so yall know what we do every time we get on a track(not to mention blogs showed it love).  I also did a joint with my Gs Magno Garcia and Code Nine(Tragic Allies) over a Giallo Point beat for Magno's project called "Raise the Conscious".  This the first time we've all rocked on a track and with the help of the video this song got a lot of well deserved love since everyone involved did what they do on that.  The video premiered on Thanksgiving on Mass Appeal which has been showing our scene massive love. The last track I did was with my man Chronic Tone who I had always seen around and chopped it up with in random events, however when we were able to lock down a time to build at his lab(The Deli) we wrote and recorded a track that night to one of his beats called Word is Bond. Peep all of the features below. So with all that you should be caught up until the next update which will be detailing what till be going down for 2018....Peace!!!!
