L.O.C Covey (Ello Covey) #lifeonchill

However you do it, keep #LIFEONCHILL. This is the L.O.C aka "Ello Covey"

L.O.C Covey, easier said as "Ello Covey" is the byproduct of unoriginality, biting, hating, negative energy, and the force feeding of social norms. To all that we say "Chill!!"

Our Motto is "Life On Chill." Constant Heat Instilling Longer Living. The heat of passion, drive, desire to create a legacy. The heat is the chill.

You can only control your existence and how you react/conquer situations. Situations and life are better handled on the chill. I believe most would agree.

The tagline is "That L.O That L.O.. If you know me, say HELLO!"

Basically, keep #LifeOnChill and use that heat to drive you forward. Peace to all kings and queens. One Love.

THE NEW AND IMPROVED SLAPP FACTOR

Since The Slapp Factor™ began, it has been promotion for everything Myc Ripley. From music to personal experiences that were few and far between, I have decided to take the blog a lot farther and start debuting/interviewing breakout artists other than myself and my Sharks In A 3 Peace Suit, Sharkstyliens, and L.O.C Covey family. That means more content and definitely more slappers from all over this huge world of music. Going forward, this year I would like to feature an artists every couple weeks that you all should lend an ear to. In these times, a share, a like, retweet, or anything of that nature helps an artist, because you never know who will be the next person to see and take to their music. Coppin’ the music is for sure the goal, but support plays its part in many ways. WE ALL OUTCHEA!! So, let’s make it happen!

Shout out and nothing but love to all that have been riding with Myc Ripley and friends. I do what I can for all of you out there when it comes to this music. At this point it feels right to step back and show off talent aside from mine. I’ve had ups and down since my last post some worth mentioning other not (that’s another blog post in itself) just know that I’m still on the grind and have many new ventures in the making. From California to overseas in many different areas, I’m still making it happen. Pushing this dream while wide awake. This is the new Slapp Factor with Dave Slappelle™. Enjoy!

Oh yeah, Nemesis album is still available for free download at bandcamp. If you would like to order a physical disc. CLICK HERE

After the highly anticipated arrival of 'Purify The Album' last January. Myc Ripley [ME] is returning again in the new year to bring to you the second installment to the album. "Purify The Album : Lost Scrolls" available at his bandcamp site on January 13th, 2012 [1.13.12]

YES!! It is Friday the 13th. That doesn't matter though because it is a sacred day.. If you know your history and have done the research you would've known by know that 13 is a sacred number (ie. 12 disciples & Jesus or 12 Knights & King Arthur) Why do you think all the institutions have deemed it as an 'evil' number? Just to hide the true significance. Still, that's something you can find on your own time.

Lost Scrolls is the remaining songs that were not able to be placed on the first album. It will contain 13 tracks [12 & 1 bonus], production by Dave Slappelle, Healthy Fresh Productions, Da Ill Suspect, Dubs Attic, Sean Blak and Phya Armz Ent.. have to say it is definitely a refreshing thing to come from yours truly.

Dammit!! Since April???

Whats up urrybody? Happy New Year! The last time I had time to get down was in April.. Good Lawd! Sorry to keep the information withheld. Real life called and I had to answer.

Well... Since then, other than trying to be the best father possible. Your boy Myc Ripley has been recording and finishing some more solo projects. Also, Shastyliens has recorded songs for their EP dropping real soon.

There has been so much going on, I don't even know where to start. April, May, June... Oh shit! Summer was off the hook! We moved into Mission Ale House (currently Freddie J's) and established the fact that #dubstep is a force to be wreckin with. I'll be makin that transition also! Dubstep Massive WHA GWAN!!
I have a good amount of ideas coming at y'all!!!

Sharkstyliens had an awesome year of networking and shows. MUCH RESPECT TO THOSE WHO HAVE ALLOWED US TO WORK WITH YOU!!!! We did run into some stagnant times and setbacks, but who doesn't? It's all about how you bounce back that determines if you're a ball or square. Y'dig? We did a couple shows to end out the year (props to Heart of Chaos and Mr. Fritzo) for giving us that opp!! It was a great way to end 2009!

Even more is cracking this year!! We just threw and performed at our first show of the year with the help of Denver Nytez and Mountain Charleys Los Gatos. Its all gel'n folks. It's a blessing! So, get ready to be inundated with #sharkstyle!!!

Personally, I'll be working on finishing up some projects started in late 08 and all of 09. Then I'll be on this #dubstep tier somethin fierce. I have a song for all in my next post.

These are the genres I'll be touching this year #dubstep #glitchhop #hiphouse #freshRock and #freshop. The last two I'll be coining myself as I drop the unorthodox on ya. Until my next post (which will be soon). One Love & blessings from above!

Myc Ripley - Part 2

Who is Myc Ripley? Really..

Alrighty then... Last time we left you, we were speaking on Myc Rip and the moves he's been making the last couple of months. (Actually years, but we'll get into that.)

Myc Ripley is that one guy. You see him in the back of large crowds doing his own thing, but you still can't help notice how magnetizing he is. There is definitely something about Myc Rip.

So... The until now, consists of a great deal of things. There is no more Inf8nitbeatslump and/or DLC Crew. THERE IS NO CALI'S FINEST. There are rumors, but it is what it is.



Now, there is just Myc Ripley and #lifeonchill.

**QUICK PLUG**
You can see Sharkstyliens LIVE! Wednesday nights holding down The Cypher™ W/ Audio Dru, DJ Luicidal, both of 90.5FM KSJS and DJ Abe from 9p-2a Back Bar SoFA Downtown San Jose CA
**QUICK PLUG**

Ok, back to the real. Since all the bullshit between who really wants to do this and who doesn't. I've been working non-stop on building a solid network. Yet in still, not to many real grinders are out there. It has been a blessing in the making though it's still being made. I roll with it. When I say "working" I have been doing exactly that... Working. I keep a 925 and maintaining two projects that are still taking off.

I also have kids, but who doesn't in this day and age. They are really my inspiration! My A-Team.



This is what keeps me pushin' this eye wide open dream I live.

My new project is called "Purify - Th'Album" and mixtape will be called "Amidst the Darkness." I'm doing some slapp collecting and conceptualizing for both these projects as we speak..

Next post will touch on each of my past projects individually.. Starting with "The Slappelle Show - Season 1"
LISTEN AND DOWNLOAD HERE or JUST DOWNLOAD
then continue with Season 2. this bio is circa 2009.. the story is still continuing.. follow on twitter and such to keep the full updates!! Thanks for taking the time to find out who Myc Ripley is in 2014!!

Myc Ripley - Part 1

Born November 10, 1979 and extremely Scorpio, Myc Ripley is true to his being. A native of Los Angeles, Myc Ripley (born B.Stuart) found himself in San Jose around the summer of 1993. Being with family, essentially escaping the grime and nonsense of the city of lost angels.

"Although , I have the heart of a lost angel, it feels good to be in an area where folks can't see you." - Myc Ripley

Myc Ripley began writing lyrics in '93 being influenced by Method Man's Tical project. Ultimately, it was his mothers constant playing of old reggae dancehall dub cassettes.

"BIGG UP MOMS!!!! 'cause she still hasn't stopped blastin' the dancehall." So then, as you can tell the family background is that of Jamaica. All reggae artists has provided some type of inspiration and/or portrayed an influence for Myc and all the music that is created by Myc Ripley.

In 1999, Myc Ripley wrote and recorded under the name of "Cozmick Da Ayth Wonder" for Calico Park Entertainment (CPE) in a duo group named "Flewid" where teamed with good friend "Sonick Da Ill Trooper" made a maxi single of never released tracks. Upon CPE vacating Palo Alto, CA looking for label sponsorship Flewid was left high and dry, eventually evaporating. Sonick moved to the dirty south and Cozmick tried to venture into his own production scheme.

By 2001, Cozmick Da Ayth Wonder hath become Mr. Mychogg (mike-hog) Ripley and started recording for himself in his own little shack based in Eastside San Jose where he formed The DLC - Dysfunctional Locol Crew, wanting to be a west coast Wu-Tang, DLC consisted of 4-5 members and couldn't gather collectively. So, Rip started recording himself and recorded over 150 unreleased and floating tracks to date. In that process, DLC phased out and Inf8nitbeatslump (Infinite Beat Slump) was formed. Rip's tracks have featured artists within the camp consisting of Smash Atoms, Krooked Keyz, BL, and ebreeze 3g for the sweet vocals.

Couple of years passed, Rip started dabbling in the production realm. Where he started recording more in depth and creating a mix of different music.

By 2003, Krook recruited Ace (Rauce Boss) Raustine (now Raustine D. Rauce), forming Cali's Finest between the two of them. Krook and Rauce had been rhymin together for sometime. After formally meeting, Rip offered to record Cali's Finest as their sound engineer, since he had been working on his own projects. In turn was invited to be a part of Cali's Finest making the duo a trio in the blink of an eye. They recorded "Knee Deep" The Mixtape under Muddy Water Entertainment in 2007...

*MORE CALI'S FINEST NEWS TO COME*

From then until, Myc Ripley has dropped some mixtapes. A trio entitled, "The Dave Slappelle Show"- Seasons 1, 2, also Bootlegs and Bleezies. Then there is his latest 2008 mixtape, "The Adventures of Jack Rabbid". These projects are available at different sites for purchase and free download.

Presently, Myc Rip is working on yet another solo effort and mixtape that seems to be a lifetime in the making.

"BIGGUP and NUFF RESPECK in major way for the minority. WEST COASTIN 4eva eva!! If it ain't slappin I don't want it!!"
