A documentary style vignette, this is a visual expressing my views on the lack of diversity in mainstream Hip Hop today.

Forgive the brief hiatus. I have been swamped for the past few months just sorting out this puzzle we call life. I sometimes need to step away to gather my thoughts and assess my actions. Without this, I’m just a rudderless ship. Anyhow, I return bearing a surprise.
Many moons ago when we used to sell our music on the street, I met a British gentleman by the name of Frazer who said he would contact me to collaborate on something. Years later, true to his word, he contacts me and I work something out with him and his talented crew. This is the result of our meeting of minds. Check it out and let me know what you think.Shouts to @FilthyUKing, @shankfist, @EL_PERRO_ROJO.

Knowledge is one thing, to literally use it yourself is another thing entirely. Back to my favorite analogy, we all know exercise is good for you, this is common knowledge. How many of us actually do it? How many of us actually make use of this common knowledge?
Physical exercise is one thing. What is the mental equivalent of this activity? It would stand to reason that if the body can get stronger from conscious use, so the mind can do the same.
Realizing this fact is what has made me the Lucky guy I am. I have realized that in life, there is no rulebook as to who you’re supposed to be. As human beings, we constantly shaping ourselves by our ideas of who are are. As those ideas change, we change right along with them.
Through conscious manipulation of these ideas, I have come to understand how I shape my self in my vision every day. We all do it as human beings, whether we’re aware of it or not. Being aware of it, I know now gives you the power to do something about it. Not knowing it exists, puts one in the very precarious position of being tossed to and fro by any and all external forces.
Hence, my reason for being L.U.C.K.Y. is the fact that I know now that I make myself in my own image.
Luck Is A Miracle
I’m a miracle happening,
Pure lightning striking.
At times I mike it,
Just so you like it.
I’m proof there’s magic,
Here poof you have it.
I’m lightning striking,
Twice at light speed
With thrice as much heat.
Makes me pure chi precisely
Just call me Lightning
Lucky Lightning
So calm it’s frightening.
He’s so enlightening
Racing thoughts at high speeds
To drizzle you light speech.
I’m quite deep.
At my peak,
You can actually watch me
Walk out of my body casually
Curiosity might peak.
So I show of my soul
Just by slowing my flow
From sunrays to rain fall then snow
Otherwise I might combust
And the outcome: dust
Thus, I conduct
My train of thoughts to stay on course
I write so you’ll ride with me a bit.
Lucky Logan is flying this ship;
Captain McCoy, I’m in command, ya dig.
Shaping my life in bits,
While jotting my manuscript.
My critics are quick to quip:
“Man you flipped!”
Absolutely, I’m now a grand master of it.
I was born equipped,
But my wings got clipped:
Yard bird, I’m reborn to flip
My thoughts till they’re all in sync.
It’s pure instinct that makes me distinct.
I am therefore I think.
-L.P. McCoy
This is a new visual for “Heaven” a song from Mixtape One. Edited by Selorm Denu, this video expresses the central theme of the song quite well. Please check it out let me know what think. Check out Mixtape One below.
Falling in love is such a beautiful thing. Falling out of love is how you discover is there was ever love in the face place. This video expresses this idea so well; it is a very fitting depiction of “Lover’s Estranged” produced by Logan P. McCoy.

Here is a new recording I thought I’d share with you. I have decided to abandon conventional song structure to do whatever I feel like doing. This is “Bodhisattva”. I posted the lyrics earlier here. Check it out.
The beat was was an inspiration from a song called ”The Foe” by Joshua Aciares. You can listen to his song below.
It’s an unseasonably warm November day in New York City. My intention is to take the Brooklyn bound express train, then transfer to the local train right across the platform at the next stop. This would save me the hassle of walking the few blocks I would otherwise have to to get to the local train from where I am now. Simple enough.
As the express train pulls in, I catch a glimpse of a pretty young woman cradling what at quick glimpse appeared to be a baby harness, with a very ugly baby in it. Curious to find out more, I bypass the car I’m closest to and hasten to the car bearing this questionable figure. Much to my relief on her lap was a blue canvas duffle bag with a cute fury dog in it. The dog looked like a giant Yorkie, and to be honest it was cute. It kind of looked like her I thought as I sat facing her on the opposite side of the train car. She’s not too bad on the eyes.
Apparently, so did the guy sitting diagonally across from me pretending to read his magazine. It seems like he’s really trying to get her to notice him. He could stop glaring and smiling. All this is funny and entertaining to me. Maybe it’s all just in my head but the whole interaction was funny. You can tell she loves her dog. It’s the way she’s holding it with such tender care and affection. The guy notices this too and just keeps smiling with one eye on the magazine and the other on the woman. She is oblivious to all of this, at least it looks that way. She hasn’t turned her attention from her dog once, since I got on the train. She is all into her dog.
As if suddenly realizing she might have missed her stop, she gets up and walks to the map. She scans it perfunctorily then inches her way to the nearest door. The guy appearing somewhat saddened, returns to reading his magazine for real as he now has her back to look at. Knowing that the doors open on the opposite side at this stop, I start musing again, “I wonder how long it will take her to figure out she’s at the wrong door”. I thought, “I bet she’ll get it quick she seems like a smart woman”. Sure enough, as the train pulls in to a complete halt, she turns around and detrains. I smile to myself thinking I knew it.
The conductor makes his announcement and the doors close; the train starts to slowly pull of. About two seconds later, it’s hits me like a ton of bricks as the train picks up speed and I, watching the station scroll faster and faster past my eyes, realize I should have been right behind her. I ended up being twenty minutes late for my appointment. Mind you, I started out being early for my appointment. But I learned a very important lesson. We are always paying attention, but a lot of times to useless things.
I am more mindful of what I pay attention to now, attention is too high a price to pay for the worthless.
