What's In A Name? ('Grandeur Pulse' Release Date - Official)

What's In A Name? ('Grandeur Pulse' Release Date - Official)


If you're a Registered Member on here, or follow me on Twitter (@Lekhem_ if not ;-]), then you'll know that I confirmed my next release date this week.

The day that I decided to make this mixtape, 'Grandeur Pulse', I already had the release date in my head. I decided to go with the 21st December 2012. In all honesty, my main reason for that is, because it's been the date that's thrown around that the 'world is meant to end' and all of that malarkey!

From the film '2012', to other forms of media, that date has been associated with this for years now and I felt to poke fun at that in the best way I know how. One of the great things about that, is that it lands on the last Friday before Christmas - I couldn't help myself, lol. With that being said, you'll all be able to enjoy the new music right into your festive season.

Mark your calendars, advents, all that good stuff - 'Grandeur Pulse', my new Intrumentals mixtape - 21/12/12...

The Next 'Grand' Design...

The Next 'Grand' Design...

Hey everyone!

As announced last week, to close off 2012 I will be releasing an instrumental mixtape (EP) all produced by myself. The aim of this project is to show growth as a producer since 'KrateDiggin' and a musician as a whole.

Throughout this year, while working very hard as an artist, I've been working on my instrumentals as well. During the last few months I would, from time to time, speak of a new sound that I've been working on and Grandeur Pulse will be a perfect opportunity to give an example into what that is all about. The name ‘Grandeur Pulse’ gives an indication into that, but it's something that I will explain closer to the release date...

The look and sound of this project will be a very sleek one, but there will be more info to come on that as the days become closer!
Until then, the ‘Lin Feng’ instrumental is a taster...Made to signify the return to my production duties for the remainder of 2012, as explained last week, my inspiration behind it was the whole 'Wu Tang Clan' type of hip hop that was heavily influenced by a lot of martial arts films.

I wanted to make something like that as I've always loved the sound and being a natural fan of a lot of Eastern aspects (martial arts, art, etc), I felt it only right to continue that in my own creative way. I've got a few more instrumentals with that sound and will be releasing them over time.

We've got much more coming between now and the release ,so make sure you stay with us...

Preparing for Grandeur...

Preparing for Grandeur...

Hello LekLaners,

I want to start this off by wishing you well, hoping that you had a good weekend and that you have a productive week coming.

We here at ESP Ltd. are currently going through a small period of reconstruction, even reinvention if you will. During this time, as you've already noticed, we have been a little quieter than normal. We thank you for continuing to diligently support us as you always have.

As a personal THANK YOU from myself on behalf of EVERY member of ESP, I've decided to give an insight into some of the new works I've been doing, so I'm going to be releasing a new body of Instrumentals.

The name of the project will be 'Grandeur Pulse' and as the name indicates will be an example of the new sounds that we're creating over here. I'll be releasing the project just before the end of 2012 to round off what has been a very busy, productive and interesting year to say the least.

Kicking things off with 'Lin Feng', this latest release is influenced by the old skool hip hop that used the Eastern samples I've always loved. Like Wu Tang, but in my way, I've been told by the Queen of Trivia that the name has many definitions that all describe me personally, the most fitting one being 'contrasting qualities in nature...being creative or artistic in a practical way'...I think Ms. ESP might be trying to tell me something...

Listen, enjoy, comment and share, the first taste of what's to come from me in the next few months:

All the best to each and every one of you.

Once In A Blue Moon...

Once In A Blue Moon...

Hey People!

The Queen of Random Trivia, Ms. EricaSharlette is always telling me these random facts about things that have me thinking for awhile after we've talked.

The latest is about a story she read in the news about tonight having a rare blue moon that only shows up once every two and a half years, causing that well known phrase to come about...She asked a question that I to think about at the time and I thought since it's been a minute since I talked to all of you, I'd tell you what I came up with.

Every Once In A Blue Moon, I'd like to be on a beach during the night time, with a bunch of friends around a camp fire. I know it's one of those 'cheesy' moments that they depict in movies all the time and all, but they never showed it the Jamaican way...There's actually something really cool about it.

Good weather, good friends, good food and the like, all put together, makes for a great time; everyone can relate to that. Experiences that are referred to as 'Once In A Blue Moon' are the ones that are embedded in the memory for a long time, so let's try to fill our lives with more 'Once In A Blue Moon' moments...

Feel free to share yours below, why not hit that #OnceInABlueMoon hashtag on twitter and compare what you got? You never know who you might share that desire with.

Hey Everyone,

Hope you have enjoyed the London 2012 Olympics. It’s been such a great experience and one that will live long in the memory. Team GB had an excellent 2 weeks, coming 3rd in the overall tables for medals won (the best Team GB has done in modern history).

Jessica Ennis, Mo Farah and every other member of the team did themselves and the nation extremely proud; exhibiting the determination, drive, passion, commitment and valour that real champions show. The whole nation was in unity as they cheered and encouraged all the GB athletes through their various challenges and it was evident that their massive roars of applause helped to motivate them.

Team USA have done really good as well, with the Americans being in the top 3 of overall medals won ranking. Michael Phelps from Team USA became the greatest Olympian ever right here in London where he’s picked up a total of 21 medals throughout his illustrious career.

Team JA, as expected, has continued to dominate the track and field events of the Olympics. Bolt went on to become a record-breaking sprinter with yet another world record (4x100m) and also the first sprinter to successfully defend the 100m and 200m gold medals in back to back Olympics.

All 206 Countries that participated in the Games did their best for the nation and their countrymen. I'm especially proud of the three that I call home. It’s been a great 2 weeks for sport and the world as a whole. All the athletes from the various countries have done well to make this Olympics event one of the best ever. It’s been a great display and I’m looking forward to Rio 2016.

1Love
