My people, what’s up??

I want to apologize for my lack of posts, I’ve been a busy man lately. No worries, I’M STILL HERE DOING MY THING!! I appreciate all of the comments y’all have been dropping, glad you’re diggin’ the content.

I’ll start by giving you an update as to what’s been going on..

I’ve been running around like a madman trying to finalize everything for the release of my mixtape, Reflex Rhymes, which is dropping JULY 25th!! I’ll be doing a release party the night before (Saturday July 24th @ Rogue Bar in Fayetteville, AR) and then digitally releasing the tape for free DL on my site (and a few others) on Sunday July 25th. The mixtape is a collaboration between yours truly and Mr. Get Right himself, DJ Benzi. Benzi is a new-age style DJ, mixing hip hop with an electronic element that is TOO crucial. To date, he’s done projects with Kanye West, Pharrell, Kid Cudi, Lil’ Wayne, and Mike Posner. Needless to say, I’m honored to have my material added to this list. Be on the lookout!!

As the rat race seemingly never ceases or slows down, I’m always in the process of thinking “What’s NEXT?” So although the mixtape release is approaching, I’m currently in the process of acquiring new beats from producers for a solo EP that I want to release early fall. Word to producers— GET AT ME!! I’m also anticipating the arrival of  a new MacBook Pro so I can test my hand out on the beat production using Logic. The next Pharrell in the making?? Ha, we’ll see how it  goes.

I recently knocked out a photo shoot with my band, Hardaway & The Commoners, courtesy of THE Janie B. We’re working on the creation of a band press kit that we can send out to the media/venues/labels and updated pix were one of the final pieces to the never-ending puzzle. Feels good to be one step closer. Here’s one of my favorites from the shoot

Again, I appreciate all of the support from friends & fans, y’all keep me going. If you’re on twitter (who’s not on twitter??) then hit me up  @colinhardaway. Keep it cool, keep it classy
