Fobiah's Travels

A big catch up

2012-04-28T17:31:00.001-07:00

Well as u can see it has been a long time since I have actually wrote something on here so now am gonna. Well a has happened as you will know that life holds a lot for you that is just waiting right around the corner. Well after the release of the "workoutfobiah" we found that there was a lot of people that loved it including our group of course. A lot of people like "chillin & relaxin" and others loved "killin the beat" & "make you listen" and I can see why. (if you haven't already then check out the mixtape you will love it) But yeah we had a lot of positive feed back from it and not only that the downloads that we have is big for us spanning 219 downloads which like I said is pretty big for us. And anyone that has downloaded it I would give you a big thank you, we how to get others listing to it as well. Well apart from music, most of jan I was rehearsing for a play that we had to do as part as our uni course and the play was based on "Antigone" an old greek play. We started before the holidays but the whole of jan is when we were really on the ball with it. I played a wise old man which I liked and enjoyed playing as I did find a common interest (no homo) with that character. The play was on the 27th of jan and wow we had a very good response from it and I really enjoyed play the old wise guy. Well after the play lets so a week or so, I got a call from one on my uni friends about a play and to see if I would be interested in being a part of the play. So I was like yeah sure am up for that. The character that they wanted me to play was "god". Now I know what your thinking and I can assure that I was thinking the same but I did take up the role and thought that this type of role could help me in the future u never know. So got it to the full swing of the play and so I met the person that wrote it and what he wanted (Koop guy) and so I was just really looking forward to it. Performance and man it was really good a lot of people enjoyed it and loved it which is what you like to hear. Well after that its more music and now ATRCU we are now going to release our new mixtape called "Sharingan Squard" which is out 2morrow and boy this will be something different check it 2morrow, I will post the link. Also on music a, getting ready to get my 3rd mixtape out now as I have been sitting on it for a long time, but that was to deal with money and finding a good studio but boy again you are not ready for this mayn lol. I have also just came back from a 10 meditation course and man I really do recommend it to people, but only if you have a strong and an open mind. It's called "vipassana" and it is really deep, it reqiues you to do a lot of observing of yourself and learning about yourself a lot more. So yeah am back baby am back loool. I shall post vids up that you need to see and share it round and comment on them. It really helps loool plus I'll shout you out. Looool pinky promise.

Merry X-mas

>So the last time I was here was on the 15th of November, wow seems like yesterday lool. Well am here and back with more to tell you if you haven't been following me on what I've been doing. <br>
First up is uni, man the work at uni is too much and I mean that in a good way I really do enjoy it. Everything about it. Especially Wednesday lesson, probably because we are putting on a show and am excited about that. The show is spanning 3 weeks during January so if you lot want to come you can, Although I will have to get back to you on the dates and all. </p>
<p>My acting and music are I would say more or less on the same lines of each other but music is probably that bit forward. I don't know if you know or if I have mentioned it but me and my boy Workout were supposed to put out a mixtape on November but due to the both of us being busy with other things we had to push back our joint mixtape to the 25 th of December yep which was yesterday. I am glad that we pushed it back because we got to spend more time on it and I feel that everyone wi love it it has enough content on there for you all to enjoy so i know that you will enjoy it, I also thought to make promo vids for the mixtape and so we did that and made it into four parts and the last one being a day before the mixtape came out.

This is the link to the mixtape. (You will completely enjoy it)

ATRCU or the red cloud unit as I called it previously are now making big moves for the new year and now we have a full plan of what is going to happen. But of course I can't share that with you unless your with the team lool.

What I have planned is my 3rd mixtape yep that's right, that's what am looking on now I need to get it out and need to plan on what's going on on it. But I will sort that all out.

Now I know today is x-mas but I don't know why I just feel like every1 is against me or maybe that's just me but hey ill take a walk and clear my head later on.
Well now I will leave you with a merry Xmas and the final video of our promo, be sure to check out the other vids too.

Ok ok yeah i know it been long, but for good reason

2011-11-15T05:16:00.000-08:00

Ok ok yeah i know it been long, but for good reason. Ive started uni lool. But nah yeah i have n thats why i have not been posting anyting up really, uni is just killing me and other students. The second year is really packed but then again I didnt expect it to be a walk in the park I mean its uni after all.

Well from my last post i lot has been going on. Uni is one of them and music as well as acting lool o yeah. well music is moving up, my group Red clouds or how we are now known ATRCU have been moving up and making the group known. ever since the group meetings have been at my house everything has seemed to have moved forward. We are getting music done n getting a lot better.
First we relased our group mixtape and gave it to every one that saw us perform and we now have more people in the group now. So now its becoming bigger. Me and Elijah are still working on our joint mixtape and that had to get pushed back because of mine and his life style its all kinda busy on both halfs. BUT IT WILL COME OUT 25TH November, so you better look out for that. My mixtape is still being made, again its the times and uni that are in the way but it will get done but now it may have to be pushed back.

As for acting man, been getting a lot of auditions and been filming for a lot of short films so that keeps me on my toes. Also joined an acting work shop on wed every week which aint bad so i can see where i stand and how over actors perform and think which I think is good if you want to become better.

well thats it so far and now looking back it really does not seem a lot but trust me it is a lot lool foreal it is. But now i'll leave you with 'Rap Beat Cannibal'. This is what the team have been on. so instead of writing about it i'll show you what we are doing.

again comment and rate it, o and share it too.

Busy week!!!!

2011-09-08T01:16:00.000-07:00

Yes i know it has been kind of long since i have posted anything and i have a perfect reason for that. Hey it was eid, and plus i was acting as well. Well to be honest i didn't really celebrate eid. ok now before you start to think that i was lying i wasn't, tho i celebrated my eid differently. You see i had to do some acting the three days it was eid so yep you can see what went down, i celebrated my eid acting while my family were munching down bag loads of food. If your thinking to your self "why is he complaining for he was acting" well thats becasue i love eatting i really do love eatting and thats why.

Well the acting that i had to do was for a short film called "Watch This" and the role i had was a lil party scene. Like the party scene in "House Party" were it was girls v boys well yeah i had to do something like that only difference is that it was a cussing match and so things kinda got a lil heated a bit but it was funny nevertheless. While i was doing that i stayed at my cousins "Kurtiss" because it was near his house and plus i rarely stay at his house. Hey family gotta stick together. So that was what my week was like last week and this week, well lets just see where it takes me. Looking to record a couple of tracks for me n elijah's joint mixtape. Man the excitement that is building up is too much i can't wait to show all of you. As it is i have finished one track and have started 2 new tracks, so the work rate is there don't worry i won't let you down (thumps up).
Oh snap i almost forgot to tell you guys. While i was doing my acting job i fell in love with a piano. It was in the cafe and i was like "hmmmm ok am gonna have a go at this" and as soon as i touched one of the white keys, i made a lil sample that could be used for a hip hop beat. Man when i tell you that i need a keyboard just to play around with and to make something up, man its too real.

But anyway i'll let you get back to what you was doing before my blog distract you. but i'll leave you with a acting video. Yes i know what i said. But this time since i've done a lot of acting, i'll show you something that i have done. So i hope that you enjoy this.
Its a short film about being "Young, Black and British".

Some of the last days of fasting

2011-08-26T08:28:00.001-07:00

Well its been quite some time since I have posted anything on here, well its only been five days but still that's quite some time. Between that time I have been kinda busy and yes I mean it when I say it lol. This week has been very interesting and busy at the same time which has kept my mind working up a sweat. This week my and my bro have been pretty independent which is nothing for me as am used to being alone and being with people. That's just how I work. I've had to take the role of being the man of the house which I actually enjoyed, cooked, cleaned, took care of things that needed to be taken cared of. Eh I'll be a sick husband lool. Wednesday met up with my team Red Clouds had a little chill session and discussing our music not only that my cuz came down too for the day and so I knew it would be a day to remember. And I was right because on Wednesday my cuz, my friend and my bros friend came round and we just made a night of it. Cracking jokes, watching films and playing ps3 (coz Xbox sucks). Made dinner for everyone and this went on till the night was still young. My cuz stayed over and boy was that a night lol. We didn't go to sleep till 5 in the morning. Well enough of what I've been doing, I wonna know what you lots have been doing and yes I mean you who is reading this right now thinking if am talking to you now lol. Well my next post will most probably tell you more about my acting as something is going down on Sunday, by I'll keep that as a hush hush. And know another one of my music videos. This track is called "Sweet Thing". It was inspired to me by two girls and so that how I made this track. So now I bless you with this track and again i hope you enjoy it and please feel free to comment and rate. Kool kool Snap I also forgot to mention this track is also on my 1st mixtape. Enjoy.

The week so far (the Prince of Wales came to Croydon)

2011-08-20T17:34:00.000-07:00

Ahhh the week so far, well from my last post. My week so far have been a productive week, near everyday i have had something productive to do or have made something productive. Most of my time i have been thinking about how many verses i need to write for my third mixtape and for the other artists that what to collab with me. Like in my last post my n my boy Elijah have discussed plans for our joint mixtape and we have been going back and forth with ideas that we what on the mixtape. I decided to make a list of tracks that i still need to write for, because i thought that i could be smart and remember everything that i needed to write for but nope lool didn't work for me. Away from music, work has been good to me, we had the price of wales come and visit Croydon though we all know he just came to make himself look good. And come on you know that i know that you know this, and if you don't then now you do.

We also had youth groups paint a wooden wall in croydon to show people that are not from Croydon that Croydon is still a nice place to visit. Friday was a good day too, spent the day with my ex. Look i know what some of you may be thinking but me and her are kool (yes i know i spelt it wrong but yo it looks better like this) plus it wosn't just me and her, it was me, her, her two cousins and my bro so we all had a good day. Also for the past three days i've seen my habibti, i know that some of you may think thats a bit much but for me it really aint. I guess its just how you have a relationship with that person and how you build together as a couple.

But yes enough of that for now, and lets pay attention to another track for this post.
Again this track is old and it on my first mixtape which you can get from this link here -> (http://www.mediafire.com/?u928oxycrrcxdcg) ITS FREEEEEEE!!!!!!
This track is called"Don't Come To Me Pt.2" and basicly this is a track where I will show you my skill as an MC and how I command the beat. For this I will show you my Flow, Punchlines, content, wordplay, rhyme scheme and then just totally killin' the track lol.
so enough with the talking and here is the track.

Please feel free to rate and comment. kool kool

A new week, A new beginning

2011-08-16T16:10:00.000-07:00

Yeah I know its not exactly on a Monday for me to be calling it a new week. Mybad I've been busy on Monday and Tuesday, like am guessing most of you were lol. But nah its still a new week and a new begging and it is definitely a new beginning for me. On Sunday my boy and fellow red cloud member "Elijah workout Baker" came round to record and to discuss plans for our joint mixtape we will be releaseing.

Sunday was really a productive day as we manages to record 3 tracks in a day. I know to people that don't do music it won't sound a lot, but you'll be surprised by the ammount of work and energy we put in to it. To get 3 tracks done in a day is something big. But anyway enough with that, as I said it was really productive. After recording we discussed about how many tracks we gonna have on the.mixtape and what it should be called. I don't really wonna tell you that much lol but I can tell you this it's gonna be a 10 track mixtape full of madness and everyone will love it. I promise you that. O snap I forgot to tell you lot, on Monday I was filming some showreal footage from my theater play called "360" so all of you will see some more of my acting. Ooooo yeah.

Now this video am showing you is a track that I did after "Fobiah's Just Gettin Darker". Back when I wrote this I was very proud of myself for thinking up something like this lool. I hope u enjoy it and like it. If not then just turn it off. This track is called 'Open"and please feel free to comment and rate it.

Friday........ just one of my favorite days

2011-08-12T16:06:00.000-07:00

First of all i would like to say sorry for not posting anything yesterday like i said i was. Wait... why am i saying sorry for its my blog loool (nah am still sorry lol), but yes i was busy yesterday so thats why i didn't. Anyway today for me was a nice day and i hope it was for anyone that is reading this now. My day started nice and early as my habibti came to see me in my home town (it was a new experience for her). After that i just went about my day but it wos so chilled and relaxed. But anyway enoughof that, I was thinking about which should i share with you first. ooooooo sounds like a secret don't it. Well sadly it ain't lool, nah what I mean is which should i show you first my music????? or my acting??????. Well i picked music first (yep that was a rhetorical question). So i am now going to show you my music from where it started to now where its now come to.

So for each new post i put up i'll show you my music with a little history behind it, coz am just that nice lool.
First up is a track that i made i think in 07 or 08, i loved the instrumental and then i went to work with it. so here we go. If i haven't said it already i'll say it now. Because am a conscious rapper i wanted to get across to people my message and how the youth of today are lost.

Croydon riots, 2011

2011-08-10T15:15:00.000-07:00

Ok so, so far in London it has been a war zone between young people and the police. The past couple of days has been mad in London going from one place to another and then ending up with London being out of control. The madness also came to my home town of Croydon. So far I think Croydon has suffered the most damage. The madness has caused alot of problems for other and fo myself. Today I was meant to do some acting and spend the night with my woman watching transformers 3, but due to the riots and the after effect of them we couldn't go. Don't worry habibti in due time we'll go. But anyway during the riots my boy and fellow red cloud member "young made" released his new mixtape called "the Cheese Wave" which is for all the weed heads out there, why? Just coz it is lool but yes his new mixtape is out and I will supply everyone the download link to check out the mixtape. Even though this hasn't really been a juicy post I will do one 2morrrow so for now enjoy young mases's mixtape

360 Rehearsals

2011-08-04T17:10:00.000-07:00

Today after work, I went to my drama group rehearsals called '360'. At first i thought it was going to be long for the fact that I was fasting all day and travelling in London takes a lot out of a person. But when I arrived I didn't feel like it was going to be energy draining, in fact i enjoyed every second of it. My rehearsals are on Wednesdays and Thursday but I mostly attend on Wednesdays as Thursdays seem to be a busy day for me. But anyway back to what I was trying to get at, I attended the Thursdays rehearsals and I met some new people within the drama group. It was a nice site to see, just new faces to work with and to see how you can improve yourself.

As the rehearsals went on we had some new faces arrive for an audition or what I thought were new faces. What I saw was two actors that I had seen before. Kassidy (I think I spelt his name right) and Hugo. Kassidy was in the same play that I was in called 'Chances' and Hugo I met at different parties that involved a lot of actors so you know it was a drama party lol. But anyway it was nice to see them again, really did make my day.

After rehearsals the journey back, I had some long think about the way humans behave and how we operates and how we interact with each other as a whole. I remember my mum (like all of you) saying you must not talk to strangers, but funny enough on the tube going home, I felt like everyone was the same and everyone is linked to each other some how. Not in a scientific way, but in a way where you feel like you have understood something and have been spiritually up lifted because of your understanding. I amaze myself at times when I remember that am only 20 and my life has just started and I have already past and learned things adults are still figuring out. Saying that remember here is where the birth of Kadeem Fobiah Boyce a Raptor (Rapper/actor) started and everyone that read this witnessed this loool. Man i need my own book lol.

Lyrics to How Would You Feel?

2011-08-03T09:50:00.000-07:00

05 December 2010

HOW WOULD YOU FEEL?

Am tellin u this coz I’ve got no one to turn to
Hearts full of emotion.

(1st verse)
Spend a day in my shoes and hear my history
then try and walk on without feeling any misery
they look down cause they think my life isn’t a mystery
I put on a brave face but it’s emotionally killing me
Labeled a misfit from care so stereotypically
Ignant to my emotions but love to judge on me physically
How would you like it if our lives decided to switch roles
Growing up to bein told
You lost ur parents at 6 months old
You’re born without a world so you’re essence depends on being cold
Deaf to you’re changed life that will slowly start to unfold
Moved from place to place like there’s no more places to go
And through the places you’ve moved you feel the different environments
Don’t have that whole support or security of a family
And expected to carry on like it never happened so idly

(chorus)
How would you feel if you were living their life
Being a new born and to be newly denied
But others still wonna gives us that awkward eye
And act like were the real reason of why we ain’t right
But still not all of us are really the same
Some of us have a dream and like to hope for a change
Remember that am a human too
But do you have any idea of what we went through

(2nd verse)
Many times in my life I’ve made up false bonds
Switchin different workers as if they were different songs
Some treated me good while others were straight idiots
Floatin around so much you find it hard to get intimate
Like you’re life been placed in theirs hands and your’re just affiliate
You want someone to understand you’re position
To help you try and find what you’re been longing n missing
Like seein your mum happy and just dancing in the kitchen
Or lookin at past pictures just finking and reminiscing
Living this is hard and most of it’s unpredictable
Gaining trust from teachers when you’ve been bullied at skool
And so you suffer this outcome like it’s just one of the rules
Verbally tortured by others cause it’s a powerful tool
Not all of us have it bad with people that are this cruel
Cause some of us have the power not be taken a fool

(chorus)
How would you feel if you were living their life
Being a new born and to be newly denied
But others still wonna gives us that awkward eye
And act like were the real reason of why we ain’t right
But still not all of us are really the same
Some of us have a dream and like to hope for a change
Remember that am a human too
But do you have any idea of what we went through

2011-08-02T16:07:00.000-07:00

In June of this year I released my second mixtape. It's better than my first mixtape, I think my style and my writing is evolving, my experiences in life are constantly changing and now that I have reached 20 years my life has truly begun. I am more confident in myself and in life in general, auditions don't phase anymore I see them as fun, my brother Dammir comes along to the auditions to. We both did the Streetdance 2 only as extras, however I was determined to be noticed, even as a extra. Mum said she saw me when they did a feature on Streetdance 2 on BBC London News. So it worked! Ha! The audition in Rickmansworth was a result of being an extra in Streetdance2, its for a feature film called the The Wedding Video, ok I am a extra but at least I got paid!!!

It is now the month of Ramadan, a time of spirituality and a time of reflection which is also a good time to write more lyrics.I have soo much in my mind that I just want to put down but I can type fast enough.

Here is the link to my second mixtape, listen to it, download it and enjoy it. Also give me feedback so that I can improve futher! Peace!

Virgin Blogger

2011-07-31T01:58:00.000-07:00

I am new to this, one might say a virgin blogger. Many have gone before me and many will come after me. Anyway WELCOME to my blog.I am a Bajan Malaysian rapper and actor,I am also a university student studying Theatre. Since its now my holidays I have been relaxing and going to auditions. I went to a casting yesterday out of London in zone 6 or 7, in a place called Rickmansworth. I love the place, quiet and tranquil, don't get me wrong I love London but occasionally its nice to come out of the city and into a quiet place.
For now I shall get acquainted with my new blog!
