Alright 'Amidst The Darkness - The Prequel™' is out now and off my plate (pshew! *wipes forehead*) If you haven't got a FREE copy of it, get it HERE NOW! (plz&thxu)
Glad that is out of the way! Now, its time to talk about this new beat tape that all of a sudden I'm putting together!! The name of it is going to be "Makin' Redrum for Coffee - The Beat Tape&trade." Take what you want from it...
All I know is that its gonna be a new type of beat tape that will not be compared to ever. I'm listening to all the artists that I get down with & then I tailor a beat specifically to their style of flow and instrumental selection. Which means, I am actually listening to more than tow of each artists songs.
Artists I have made for so far consist of: Sharks In a 3 Peace Suit (Tequila Brown, Matty Slims, & Nordy Derk of course), Megabusive, Solis Cin. Sampling some of the music no one would ever think of pulling a sample from. Also, I'll be creating originals.
This idea stemmed from Nordy Derk asking for a beat for his new album (BE ON THE LOOKOUT FOR IT - Get a taste of it here!!) The rest is a wrap. I started makin for the rest of the crew.. Makin that redrum. Now you get it? I will be making for a bunch of artists. If they've done anything with me I got 'em.. Then the Beats/songs will be compiled with and without the lyrics dropped on them.
Not sure when this is gonna drop, but I know its coming!! Peace!
Alright people, here it is.. In its entirety.. "Amidst The Darkness - The Prequel&trade" available on BANDCAMP.COM, REVERBNATION and LAST.FM and many other sites to come (that will be another post when it happens) til then grab it RIGHT NOW from these sites!
So, what now? Enjoy the album.. It is the beginning of a transitioning Myc Ripley, because where I'm at now; is not where I was then.. Hence the name ATD. I haven't had that much clarity about myself until recently and in that I have found that both of the concepts for this and the next drop were totally relevant!!! I say this, since I wasn't really wanting to put this out there.. Honestly its a journey in its whole, follow me as we go down the dark path towards the light!!!
During the last week, I've given some sneak peek previews of the rough mixed version of ATD to various people in circle & there was actually some great feedback! *Sounds my own trumpets!!* Here are some:
ON1 says, "Just listened to it through man and there are some slappers! I would take that electric blurp outta 'Try 2 End Me' tho, kinda rough on da ears. Other than that, the album is pretty solid my dude. Insidem and Leave Her are my favorites right now. Imma go through it again tonight. Oh and Top Knotch, that song is hella funky too. the synths are saucy."
Solis says, "ATD is Dope fam!!! Slaps all day. Back to back. My favorite track had to be Amidst the Darkness tho. The beat, the rhyme schemes, the meaning. All around a dope track!!! It didn't stop there. 2DoMe, My Sable. Slaps kept coming. Myc Ripley's flow is like water.. Salute!!"
MedsRx says, "Oh and u wanna talk lyrics? @mycripley comes thru with some of that real acrobatic turf talk! Wordplay for days. Myc Ripley "Amidst the Darkness" get it. "Dead in your Arms" is real music. Listen to the evolution of a man... Mr. Myc Ripley. Tracks like topknotch are straight slapptastic!!"
Arkain says, "'Insidem' is tha bizniss!!!! Hold up, hold up I retract my last statement! Amidst the Darkness as a whole is the Bidniss!!!! Gettin Faded!!!!! Dead in your Arms, damn bruh #Solid!!! Top Knotch GOOOOOOESS!!!!!!! Thank u for puttin me on the exclusive preview list!!"
WITH ALL THAT SAID.. ARE YOU INTERESTED YET? GO TO REVERBNATION and LAST.FM NOW!!!

Well, I know many folks have been waiting for Myc Ripley to drop something since "The Adventure of Jack Rabbid&trade" in 08.08.2008.. Its been about two years!! Personally, I had to find some peace of mind before and after I tried to take myself out the game permanently. So, now I am back and ready to get the 2nd half of the year crackin'!!!
Now, heading up to July 25, 2010, I have compiled two (2) albums for your listening pleasure!! Many of you have fell through to my Reverbnation page (player on the sidelines------>) and have visited various site that I am on.. I WANNA SAY, "THANKS FOR THE SUPPORT!!!" The FREE DIGITAL DOWNLOAD is specifically for you.. hahaa! Also, for others who stumble across it..
This album will be a prequel to my "debut" album (so to speak) called "Purify The Album&trade" (artwork after blog post) which is a compilation of trying to separate the dirt particles from the water cycle (flow) of San Jose and worldwide. This will be a physical CD so when you see me make sure you cop it or get it online for about 5 bux. Maybe even lower, who knows?
BUT GO NOW TO BANDCAMP and vibe out to the title track off the album!!! Also, be on the lookout for me in the streets with that "PURIFY THE ALBUM&trade" on 08.08.2010
Well, my last post was last month. I figured I would've been back since then, but I had nothing to speak on. Anyway, I thought I'd post just so y'all know all is well. I've been back for 2 months now. Sharkstyliens are getting ready for the summer. I think I should as well. With that said, ya boy is good. No need to worry. I'm gonna get to puttin these tracks in order and start droppin em, because once I start it not gonna stop! One love.. oh blogged from my phone.. Peace and love!
Let me start by saying, "I'm not crazy!!!!" Now that it out in the open, I can state that was denial playing a huge role in my life. For those of you that know me personally, would probably beg to differ; but it is true. Your boy is not all there upstairs. Since my last post I have experienced a Liminey Snikkette's type twist of unfortunate events.
On my ten day hiatus to the psych ward or loonie-bin lock-down, for lack of better words, I learned how to accept and forgive. You ask, "what caused this hiatus?" I answer, "one failed suicide attempt om Jan. 18th caused this hiatus..." You ask, "Why would Myc Ripley (B.Stuart) want to kill himself?" I answer, "thats a good question."
I really couldn't grasp the whole concept myself, until I was put in intensive psychiatric evaluations to understand the severity of what I'm dealing with. What I'm dealing with is Manic-Depressive Bipolarity, more on the depressed spectrum of things. I wish I was a manic, I would need more calming down than lifting up. Factors in my life that I thought weren't there really were. It's kinda funny because I have many songs about this issue and never really sought help.
I had a hard time releasing this one. End sidenote.**
Anyway, it was the way I was perceiving and had been perceiving a great deal of things. I was not under the influence of mind altering drugs.) There was a chemical imbalance in my serotonin levels.
Regardless of what I need, besides pills and a shrink according to all the PHD's I've been around the last ten days. I feel the best way to accept this is to bloggy blogg blogg about it. It isn't the best subject, but it is my subject for the moment. So...
This is what happens when you body is not healthy, you spirit and mind start to fade as well. As Matty Slims would call it.. "CHI." Well, indeed my chi was deathly fading. For the last 3 years, I had been working 40hrs a week, attending school 30 hrs a week online eastern standard time (last 2 yrs), tryin my fuckin hardest to be a full-part-time-gimme-extra-time father, and Myc Ripley. All while not sleeping or eating as much as I should be. I had a very bad case of "DRIVIN TIL THE WHEELS FELL OFF" both in outside life and internally. (Every car I've owned has took a crap and then been replaced.. I don't do the fix it if it broke.. If it broke go get a new one.. You know??)
The ball containing all these factors got a little too big to carry and I drop the ball. With all this goin on I was bound to hit the end of my road. That's the long story short. Oh! For those that are going to or want to criticize, THIS WASN'T FOR ATTENTION!! I get enough attention, I'm a good person to everyone.
In closing, I would like to thank all those who partook in the #FreeMycRipley thread. Speical #SHOTUOUTS to @mattyslims @allahustle23 @ashleythizzdale @fadedNXratd @dayum_sof @gnarleybynature @reyresurreccion @soliscin @megabusive2010 @luicidal @mrfritzo
One love. I'm home, got my pills and I'm ready to get back on it!
