Here is a blog from out of the archives. Just a little run down of my history from a dj, who has put on a show with me and is also a long time fan. Respect Heatwave.

I'm sure you must have heard of it
Quite a lot of you may have experienced it
Sitting down to write a lyrics
And you come to a line and you can't think straight and get a fix
Now matter what you try it seems like you can't find the line
To flow with the beat it just won't come to mind
Now what can you do to stop this happening anytime?
The answer is follow what I am doing right here and write everything in rhyme
2 bar 4 bar 8 bar or all the way down the line
Just make sure your message rhymes and you words flow to a natural patern and time
So anyone reading it or hearing it will have your words sink deep into their mind
As you have held their interest and entertained them combined
Getting your point across and sticking to the subject while rhyming should be your everyday exercise
So you are ready to write a rhyme anytime the opportunity materialise
With no worries about writers block making your mind paralyse
You grasp the challenge and up to the plate you rise
So as you can see
This is just a taster of what I show you in my book How To MC
Ain't many who have lasted so long in this business as me
And can still churn out hit songs 21 years on from the first one and have a glittering history
So check out my book at my site www.cato9music.com
And if you are serious about being a rapper or an emcee or you deal with music production
The tips that I show you in this book is an investment in your own career that I am passing on
As I must know something to have made so many hit songs
Check it out and I hope this advice helps you if you suffer that condition
Just exercise that creative muscle and those symptoms will soon be long gone

I have started work on my next album which I hope to have released for
the third quarter of the year which will be called "Ganja Man". As one
of the most famous ganja smokers in the world with more hit ganja songs
than any other artist it is full time I did an album which is fully on
the theme of the Holy Herb.
The first tune from the album has been completed and a clip of it is here on my website for you to listen to. Mi No Go No Further is the title of it here, so let me know what your opinion is on the first track and also the album idea.

Thanks to all my fans that have been requestin my latest hit with Chase and Status all around the place
Big up my friends from Facebook, Kontakte YouTube and MySpace
I wonder if you noticed that my tune Ruffest Gunark had been heavily censored on the radio
Yet I bet they would play Bohemian Rhapsody and not edit out the violence portrayed in that tune though
Still I give thanks for all of my fans who have made the tune popular
Ruffest Gunark is one of the tracks on my new Jungle album "Champion DeeJay"
That features producers like Benny Page, Marcus Visionary, Shy FX, Chase & Status, Ray Keith and the Serial Killaz
Make sure you check out my new blogs here regular
And make sure you check out the album Champion DeeJay as well and when you do just holla
