07.20.2007:  dj honda produces track for Garcia's new album,                      "Life Unscripted"

Garcia: Life Unscripted

When you think of the Miami Hip-Hop scene, the first thing that comes to mind is Trick Daddy, Pitbull and Uncle Luke. Lyricism is something that was unheard of coming from Miami, or so it would seem. Underground rapper, Garcia is here to set the record straight on this misconception with his sophomore album titled Life Unscripted (Latchkey).

Life Unscripted, which is the follow-up to his critically acclaimed debut Anti-Social, brings the listener a mixture of east coast, south and Latin music. On the track “Clear My Mind,” produced by DJ Honda, Garcia tells a heartfelt story about his father’s infidelity to his mother and how he dealt with this disappointment from his biggest role model. The track features Opera Steve on the chorus.....

Namco Bandai Games’ The Fast and the Furious Video Game Secures Pioneer License

Press Release -- This Content Was Not Created By GameSpot

Posted Jun 1, 2006 9:43 am PT

SANTA CLARA, Calif., (June 1, 2006)- Global video games developer and publisher, NAMCO BANDAI Games America Inc. announced today that its upcoming racing title, The Fast and the Furious, based on Universal Pictures' summer feature film release, "The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift", has secured the worldwide trademark rights to the Pioneer license. The Fast and the Furious game will take advantage of the Pioneer license by showcasing Pioneer's popular automobile performance system, the AVG-VDP1 System, which measures a wide range of performance data. Developed for the PlayStation2 computer entertainment system and PSP (PlayStationPortable) system, The Fast and the Furious will be available summer 2006.

The ultimate accessory in gauging vehicle performance, Pioneer's AVG-VDP1 Vehicle Dynamics Processor is able to detect a wide variety of real-time vehicle performance data — including acceleration, lateral G-forces, estimated horsepower, and torque, in addition to speed and RPM. Additionally, the GPS locator provides current vector information, as well as current location by longitude, latitude, altitude, and distance to destination. The results are then displayed in vivid full color graphics on a connected Pioneer Audio/Video monitor.

"The Fast and the Furious will be a completely immersive drift racing experience and we are thrilled to be able to include Pioneer's AVG-VDP1 System in the game in order to add to the authenticity of the game," said John Whitmore, NAMCO BANDAI'S Director of Internal/External Development. "Measuring acceleration, G-forces, horsepower, and torque, the AVG-VDP1 System is one of the most popular performance gauges used by car enthusiasts today, lending another element of realism to the cool underground drift racing world of "The Fast and the Furious."

The Video Game Inspired by the events of Universal Pictures' upcoming film, The Fast & The Furious: Tokyo Drift, this game will immerse players in the underground world of drift racing. Set in a world related to, yet separate from, the movie, the game features a ground breaking drift mechanic that makes drifting accessible to both beginning and veteran racing game drivers. Gameplay features revolutionary new systems like the Drift Indicator that make The Fast & The Furious the most accessible yet realistic drift game ever!

Perched at the forefront of the drift racing phenomenon, the video game combines ground breaking gameplay mechanics with unprecedented speed and authentic underground cool, positioning this game as the must-have racing title of Summer 2006...

04.23.2006:  Look out for dj honda's blazin' beats on MTV's "Yo Mama" show

Wilmer Valderrama In Search Of Funniest Jokes About 'Yo Momma'

Trash-talkin' series is one of many projects 'That '70s Show' actor has in the works.

But don't expect any hidden-camera antics here, folks — this show will be strictly in-your-face raunchy.

"I'd been trying to do something with MTV for a while, so we came up with this crazy idea, and now I've created this monster. Basically, we've been using some of that rap-battling phenomena, but [replacing the rap with comedy]," Valderrama told MTV News recently. "We're going around the nation, [finding] these street kids who can clown each other.

"[It's a half-hour] comedy show, [and basically] the whole 22 minutes everybody says 'yo momma' jokes," the actor continued. " 'Yo momma's so fat, so dumb, so stupid.' It's become a really fun show to work on."

Valderrama's quest for the country's funniest trash talkers, who will battle for cash prizes and advancement in the competition, will begin airing on the network next year.

Meanwhile, the 25-year-old actor, who has spent the last several years donning polyester garb as lovable and quirky exchange student Fez on "That '70s Show," is starting up the series' seventh and final season. Fans can expect the cast to push the envelope in its last run, sans Kutcher and Topher Grace, who opted not to renew their contracts for another term...

Get ready for dj honda's blazin' beats on MTV's "Run's House" show premiering May 18, 2006 in the 10 Spot

Season 2: Run's House is the second MTV reality series to feature a past-his-prime music star, his wife, and his teenage children. The first was The Osbournes, which paved the way for reality TV families to come. But don't expect the Simmons family of Run's House to use four letter words in every sentence or throw meat over their neighbor's fence. They are a different kind of MTV family -- the kind that schedules talks about the birds and the bees, plans high school graduation parties (alcohol-free, at that), and go to church (Dad went from rap star to Reverend). Their lives may not have the same level of excitement as the Osbournes, but the Simmons have the stuff to make an enjoyable TV show....
