213Magnify
June 30, 2006 06:39 PM PDT
213 Magnify featuring Will.i.Am of the BlackEyedPeas (Will.i.Am /B.E.P. Instrumental, Recorded @ Benyad's House circa 1995) This is the first solo project that I did. I was staying in echopark right across from the lake and back then I would record lyrics on the answering machine. The chorus is an old school freestyle that I recorded on the answering machine and fortunately I wrote it down. This song is an absolute gem. It is like jewelry that never gets lost, I had only one copy of this song on tape for a long time, and when finally technology got even better I was able to digitally remaster the song. Therefore, 213 magnify is digitally remastered, and absolutely a favorite of mine. I am pleased to preserve the collaboration with Will.i.Am of the Black Eyed Peas. Lastly, 213 is an important song becuase it portrays the vision of a student, I was a freshman in High school when I recorded this song, flash forward 10 years, still making music, but now from a teacher's perspective... |
Podcast SummaryA voice of a Teacher. Educational Media. About enriqueEducation is essential, and public education serves millions of children across the nation, and billions worldwide. In many of my songs I made a concerted effort to intertwine and sway the listener to new ideas and vocabulary. Many words yall'â„¢all know, but I wanted to include familiar diction to make it a part of everyones conventional wisdom. My intent with this album was to express my concern for education and its current state of affairs. Being on the frontline, I see things that Americans are not seeing and must be reported. I am a teacher in Boyle Heights, educating young minds who along the way has swallowed facts and now is spitting out a strong opinion. The issue, "Why are students not meeting nor exceeding the standard? Many issues than stem off, like ACCESSâ„¢? The bottom line is public education does not give all students a competitive advantage. Technology is essential, especially laptop computers, it is the tool that all students must be equipped with because it gives opportunities that are limitless when comparing it to many of the already resources available in the classroom. (i.e. books, notebooks, pens, and glue). Basically, the purpose to this educational mixtape is to offer listeners a verbal assault, knowledge, a showcase of diction & syntax. I want you to find your favorite track, play it over and over again and know why you like it. For more insight, you can also check my POV @ www.myspace.com/teachinlaâ„¢
