September is officially here. My fantasy draft went well today. I landed the number one pick so lets go Titans! Labor Day, which is also my birthday, is a few days away. I had this week scheduled since the beginning of the series. Wu-tang was one of the most influential groups of my era. The production was raw and gritty and soulful and simple. I picked a few and Distant made me a lil mix to go in on. Enjoy.

Ciz 52 Freestyle Week 36 “Wu-Mix” by 2ew Gunn Ciz

Welcome to Virgo Season! My birthday approaches and I have to say this is my favorite time of the year. Its harvest time. Its time to clear out dead weight and prep for the winter and new year. Tomorrow is the beginning of Sucker Free September. Week 35 borrows from the instrumental masterpiece that is Teflon Don. As a Free Agent in the game I played off the previous title. Its time to make changes and weigh options. I apologize for my tardiness. I was wrapped up at work down in Miami. Shout to Coast2Coast and iStandard for throwing an educational and fun filled event that was pretty epic. We learned, networked, and partied. Nice. Check it out. Pass it on. See you next week.

Ciz 52 Freestyle Week 35 “Free Mason” by 2ew Gunn Ciz

Hey ladies and gents. Welcome to Week 33 of the 52 Bar series. Life is real and it plays out in my weekly’s. I wanted to pose a few questions and give some food for thought if I may. How do you know when you meet the right person? Is that person right for the moment or are they right forever. Some for a season is how the saying goes (kind of) and if you haven’t been with a person forever how will you know what its like to see it? I guess its like believing in God. You cant see it but you know it and if it turns out it wasn’t then it wasn’t God lol. In the meantime play on playas and playarettes. Enjoy the rest of the summer. RIP to the big homie Pimp C. Catch yall next week.

52 Bars 52 Weeks Week 33 “International Players Anthem” by 2ew Gunn Ciz

Whats good people? All is well with the team. One of my OG’s came home
and reached out and told me how he loved what I was doing and
requested that I hit DMX’s first official single from “Its Dark and
Hell is Hot” and I thought why not. Beats like this remind me of
better times. Its also good to get away from the industry people and
the internet and hear from the streets. Lots of my supporters don’t do
email or twitter or facebook. This one is for them. Feedback is always
appreciated. Make sure yall vote for Nico the Beast, Lexx 9Eleven,
Money First and Hiphopdx in the UMA voting. Im sure I forgot someone
or some people. My bad. I’m still jetlagged! Chicago showed us a great
time! Later folks.

Ciz 52 Freestyle Week 31 “Get at me Dog” by 2ew Gunn Ciz

As the heat wave continues and electricity bills rise, the energy definitely went through the roof for me this past week. iStandard showcases in Philly and Atlanta followed by an early morning flight back to Philly to prep for Nico the Beast’s “The Beast Within” album release party had me on my toes. Speaking of Nico, jog on over (running at this point would be uncivilized) to www.NicoTheBeast.com or hit iTunes and cop up on what is truly a classic release and a personal journey filled with ups and downs from one of Philly’s finest emcees. Shouts to Symbolic-One aka S-1 for totally going in on this beat. Check for him and future music. He’s a friend of the fam and one of the realest men I’ve ever had the pleasure of chatting with. Ye’ did his thing and now its my turn. Hope you enjoy. Stay tuned for more and keep cool! Peace.

Ciz 52 Freestyle Week 29 “Power” by 2ew Gunn Ciz

Welcome to the 28th Week of 2010. Its hot right? lol. If you live somewhere that is sub-90’s then get at me so i can make travel arrangements. After a wonderful two nights at Fluid Night Club in Philly listening to dope beats from some of the best unsigned producers around and taking in wisdom from industry staples such as Digga, Illmind and Omen, I dropped by the studio to lay my BMF Freestyle. Shouts to my role model, Rhonda Nicholas and my step father turned real father, Paul Nicholas. I want to be like them. Y’all know by now I’m always one to buck trends but at the same time I grew up with, around and under certified North Philly gangsters and I know there ain’t no money like fast money. I’m still blowin it. I just switched the hustle. Catch me in Atlanta next week at CW Midtown blowin some more. Just make sure when you blow it, that it blows in a direction that will make you more! Get it how you live. Live how you should. I’ll see you guys next week.

Ciz 52 Freestyle Week 28 “BMF” by 2ew Gunn Ciz

Pardon me as I exhale. Week 26 marks the halfway point on this trip and even though it’s halftime, Im not taking a breather. Large Professor crafted a beautiful cut on which Nasir Jones laid his lyrical wizardry upon. Honestly I knew that I would be using this track when I originally decided to do the 52 week series. Thanks to all who are still listening and thanks to those who tuned in at some point along the way. The audience and the feedback is truly love. 2010 is at its middle point and we’re still here. RIP to those who aren’t. Have a blessed day and check me out next week. Peace!

Ciz 52 Freestyle Week 26 by 2ew Gunn Ciz

Welcome to Week 23! The Neptunes dropped this hard bouncy track for
Game’s Red Album and I had to jump on it. The Devil must have come out
and touched the sun and made it extra hot this week because it was
blazing outside. The side effect of that is crazy violence. We lost a
beautiful young lady who was very active in Philly’s music scene,
Sabina Rose O’Donnell. She was murdered 3 blocks away from where I
lived just a few short months ago. A 25,000 dollar reward has been
offered for any info leading to her killer. Donations can be made to
http://pytphilly.com/sabina . After a lifetime in Philly I’ve realized
that the senseless violence in this city is evil, counterproductive
and downright disgusting. I’m sick of funerals and memorials. Change
the mindset people. Life is precious. Every single life is precious.
Kiss a loved one and keep them close. Enjoy your week and check me out
next week. Try to guess week 24’s track. It shouldn’t be too hard lol.

R.I.P. to my favorite emcee of all time, Christopher Wallace aka The Notorious B.I.G aka a bunch of other names that helped start rappers come up with a bunch of different aka’s along with the Wu. I dedicate this weeks 52 to him. As i rocked Ready to Die and Life After Death all week i thought of which beat to use… then I popped in my favorite Big mix and “It’s All About the Benjamins” came on and it transformed me back to my room during the high school era  listening to the track for the first time on the radio. I was already hype knowing Big was on it with the LOX and Puff so i was rocking till the beat dropped into a bridge that drove me nuts. Wow. Biggie is still in my regular rotation and always will be. We miss you kid. Enjoy folks and tune in next week!
