Whats going on Blogerooners ??..
I thought this whole blog thing would be much easier than it actually is, I cant believe some people actually find time to do this every day or a couple of times a day, cos I'm just about mnaging once a month..
Well here's this month/week/day's offering.. Hope ya like..
Well since the release of 'ON MY JAI'S-THE PRELUDE' I've been kinda flat out, trying to MAKE IT HAPPEN.. I made that my motto at the beginning of august, like kinda affirmed it to myself and Ive seen some real changes. Like a sort of renewed clarity, although some of the things havent seemed like blessings at the time, they have turned out to be just that.
I've been writing some new bits and bobs.. working with a few SICK producers ( Shouts to Dego Brown / Self Taught / Dojo ) Also written some piff with my boy Vivid... He's Hard.. If you dont know about him you need to be checking my myspace top friends.. Also working with a female vocalist known as Jaide Green who's one to watch out for, urrrrmmmm who else ?? Ohhh LoDGE !! Big up my boy Logic he's grinding at the moment and his work rate and creativity serves as a constant inspiration to me
... so MUSICALLY things are cooking nicely.
What Else ???...Well... I've nearly completed my tutor training now... and will hopefully be teaching my first course soon, Ive been reading a lot into Reiki Healing also n I'm feeling drawn to it with a passion so I'm feeling that will be my next quest.. You know im always on one ..
What Else??... Hmmm Im tired... Waffling like a muufuka
Nite people... Mwah x

A week in September...
Well Well Well..
The leaves are falling off the trees and its kinda chappin' and the month is 9 !! September, theres something refreshing about this time of year in my opinion.. like that tired feeling you get when get back to your apartment after a day at the beach..(YEAAAH I KNOW IM CRAZY) like people slow down a lil bit and prepare to stay home a bit more.. and the hype of summer seems to dissolve into a cosy evening in front of the TV..
But BOIIII... i aint ready to slow down just yet in fact this week has been manic..
Tuesday 08/09/09 I celebrated the release of ON MY JAI'S-THE PRELUDE my first solo release... we had a launch party @ Stanza in west london with performances from me, Nutty P, Cross Bone T, Genesis Elijah, Pariz 1, Wordplay..Snuff & Bounce held it down on the decks and it was a real vibesy night.. I felt i celebrated my release nicely.. THEN.. on wednesday 09/09/09 ON MY JAI'S-THE PRELUDE was in stores, ITUNES.. EVERYWHERE.. and since then my email, phone, facebook and everything else has been crazy.. If you havent got it yet... why not ?? Thats my baby right there, a lil taste of what I'm about and who I am. I feel as an artist its good to have your record represent you to the full and MINE DOES...
Got into Twitter this week too.. its quicker that going on facebook..altho Facey will always be my main squeeze loool.. follow me tho JAIMUSIC
For now im out.. MWAH MWAH X

On my Jai's ... all the 9's and all the other palava..
Yes Bloggy Dargys !
Havent written many blogs have i?? Well heres one for today. Been stupidly busy recentley as I'm releasing my latest mixtape ON MY JAI'S-THE PRELUDE, on my own! But I can now give you the official release date of 09/09/09. NOW ive decided this should be the day the world gets to hear my project , I believe that 9 is a very special and important number, there is no number stronger or higher than 9 ... number 10, 11 and 12 are simply repeats of previous numbers... As much as im a crazy joker I also observe,plan and strategise everything i do in order to suceed and elevate, Releasing this project on 09/09/09 gives strong universal support and infinate potential.. ANYWAYS...
What have I been up to ??.. Too much, no cake baking going down since ive been better :0( I decorated my bedroom recentley, didnt realise how HARD it is... and also realised why women stay in really unhappy marriages for decades-decorating is traumatic!
But its looking real nice now, got the curtains up finally on sunday and now I dont wake up at 5am with the sun blinding me everyday. My lil crib is looking nice now. but yea ...HARD WORK.. not for the faint hearted... Thanks to L & N who helped me out :0)
Other than that I've just been trying to make people KNOW ABOUT MEEEEE... WHO I AM AND WHAT IM TRYING TO DO OUT HERE and yeah not tdoing to badly at that. Ive entered into an online competetion called THE CORDLESS SHOW which basically you enter, the public vote you and the person who gets the most votes wins... and performs on the CORDLESS SHOW and also accompanies them on a nationwide university tour. I'd really love to win but the experience itself has been great and some of the comments people have written on the page have been really inspiring and encouraging -THANK YOU .. if you are yet to vote, it closes on 20th August so GET ON WITH IT :0)

I've also got quite a few shows coming up in the next few weeks, check my myspace for regular updates and fresh shows and I look forward to seeing you all down there still !

Last but not least, my first mixtape alongside Diva Spark is now available for free download on DAT PIFF.COM ...Cop that and catch up before the new one drops...

Banana Cake Wednesday - Blog #1
What is happening ?? Its been a while since i've written anything remotely 'bloggish' but I feel its a good way for me to express what goes on in the crazy mind &world of me (JAI / JASMINA) Also as I'm getting busier musically, I have less time free to be involved with a bag of different sites so I feel as long as I stay in charge of this one, it will keep our relationship a bit more personal and allow me to retain my random edge and talk about whatever I want to..
Well today, I have renamed Banana Cake Wednesday, No real subliminals people, its wednesday and I sincerley intend to bake a banana cake :0)
My Grandmother gave me this reciepe and as i'm indoors recovering (I've been pretty sicky lately) I thought i'd give it a go.
The last fortnight has been challenging to say the least, at a routine hospital visit they discovered I was quite seriously unwell but trying to remain positive i'm a lot better now and have learned a lot about myself in this short 14 day hibernation that I was forced to endure.
The most annoying part of it is that almost as soon as I fell ill, London decided to pretend to be Miami for a hot sec and the weather outside has been beautiful, Sunshine, summer breeze THE LOT ! and now i'm starting to feel a little better the gloom has resumed ! Hope it comes back ..
The last 24 hours has been a wacky rollercoaster ride of emotions but I'm glad I rolled with it (no pun intended) I spent some long overdue quality time with a good friend who I dont see enough, she came to check up on me, brought me some healthy stuff (she's very alternative) and we talked about nuff different things, watched films and she even made me cups of tea :o) Now thats love right thurrrr... NB: This might be your first encounter of me.. but remember me and tea... we go WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY back... So anyway my friend, we'll call her 'Sense' for now, brought a lot of laughs, positivity and sense to my day. I hope that one day I can do the same for her.
So now its 17.12pm.. I can hear the distant screechs, laughs and cries of kids playing in my estate, a slow bassline coming from a nearby house with every window open in some kinda attempt to invite the sunny days back, and inside I feel kinda peaceful like I'm getting better a lil bit, so i guess thats good. Gonna sign off for now and head to the kitchen, so that banana cake wednesday doesnt remain, simply- wednesday. I'll post the recipe below just in case the culinary wizard within you is screaming for something different.
Stay Blessed.
