Phresh Bad Boy News
Apparently "Forever & A Day" doesn't really mean forever and a day...
Translation; Forever Living In The Moment
soooo as many of you know Day26 has left Bad Boy.... *listens for moans* this quote took from the band “Bad Boy is always our family, but we're with Atlantic right now…we really want to get people focused on the artistry, on the music. I think a lot of people lost it with the entertainment of the show. So now, we really want to show people what we're all about, that we do our thing whether it's on stage, in the studio, writing and producing -- we do it all.” Sooo your blaming that failure of an album on you getting to much exposure WOW didn't see that coming. Well get your last goodbye because this group will not survive without Diddy... Ohh unless their women high heel "Eight2six" line does well .... -_- very sus. My opinion
the show made you everything you are now if you guys would
have just came out like a regular group you would not have the many fans as you do now. Thanks Diddy
have just came out like a regular group you would not have the many fans as you do now. Thanks Diddy 
In other news D. Woods has finally released a video to a song that has been circulating for 3 years now... "Legalize Me" is now a video... not a good one but [pause] nah its just not good the quality is very poor the video really doesn't have any meaning and yeah it flat out sucked.. chuckles now ii can't lie ii did like the song when it first came out... but now not so much the video really killed it for me...

Phresh Unsigned Artist "Ulises"
BOPA's Phresh Artist comes from Dallas, Texas. Reader's let me tell you something-diversity in today's music world is essential. When your type casted your career is pretty much over; thus, "one hit" wonder ratios are high which makes it a lot harder to get noticed by record companies. This brings me to my whole point. Ulises style has many stages and that's rare; of course when you see the photos you think, "Oh another pop artist," but you couldn't be wronger (new word deal with it). Ulises is a true example of a diverse artist indulging in R&B, Hip-Hop & Pop. When I first heard Ulises music I was like "Whoa, he sounds amazing." I think he sent over Fever and that song alone had me hooked; I would always be on his myspace and website reading and following where his career is heading and I can see nothing but the best in his future. Ulises isn't like the alot of the artist out now, many of the artist out now probably couldn't tell you how to mix master engineer or any of the technical work that goes into music, they can't tell you how any of its done. Ulises is not a dummy to music; he attended McNally Smith College of Music one of the most prestigious music schools. There he graduated with an Associates Degree in Music Production. He not only learned how to work with programs like Pro tools, Reason, and Logic, but also managed to learn how to run studio gear like; SSL consoles (4000 & 6000), Digi boards, and Radar. Ulises is truly amazing. I caught up with Ulises he agreed to do an mini interview with me to help expose his musical craft and let the world know who Ulises is.
BOPA- Ulises first let me say thank you for taking time to let me interview you I appreciate it.
Ulises- Definitely, no prob.
BOPA- When did you know that music was something you wanted to do?
Ulises- I always knew from a very early age that music was my passion. I pretty much grew up in a music filled environment; my mom’s side of the family was always heavily involved in music especially at church, so she kind of helped create that musical platform.
BOPA- And how did you get your start?
Ulises- I was always pretty musically active. Whether I was in band or participating in a school show, I was always on the get go. It wasn’t until I was in High School that I knew I really wanted to do something within the musical field. I began working with producers, recording at studios, and writing my own songs just to try to start building that professional foundation. I decided to pursue a degree in Music Production and soon after graduating high school, decided to fly off to Minnesota to attend McNally Smith College of Music.
BOPA-If music wasn't an option, what would Ulises be doing?
Ulises- I would have liked to do something with in the science field; I’ve always been interested in the cosmos and the galactic life. So much mystery, so much space. I feel like there is so much to learn and uncover that many of us might not yet know. History and Math were always interesting to me as well. Honestly, I just like to learn. I’d probably be involved in a career that wasn’t monotonous and had some kind of challenging excitement to it. I feel like we are capable of so much, yet sometimes don’t really embrace our power.
BOPA-What do you wanna achieve in the long run with your music?
Ulises- Well, I’d like to be able to connect with people on a different level; to be able to use my power for something good and positive. I’d like to motivate, engage, and inspire people. Money comes and goes, but the long-lasting connection you could establish with a person via a song, or even just talking or what not, can change or trigger something within them that could help change there world and maybe even ours.
BOPA-How do you feel about the mass spread of illegal downloads?
Ulises- I’m not opposed to it. On the contrary, I’m completely honored to hear and know that people are downloading my music. My goal while creating music is to help inspire or change someone’s life in a positive way. I just want them to enjoy music as much as I do, so I’m definitely all for it. In short- I approve! Ha.
BOPA- Where do you see yourself in the next 5 years?
Ulises- I see myself being peaceful and content with everything going on within my life. I picture myself happy, full of life, and energy.
BOPA-If you were stranded on a desert island, what three items would you take with you?
Ulises- Music, Family, & a Survival book
BOPA- Alright so your Sophomore album "Musically Promiscuous" is available on itunes as well as your first album "Projection Beautiful". Tell me what inspired "Musically Promiscuous”?
Ulises- I like ALL types of music. Therefore, I felt the need to do an album where I included a little bit of everything- kind of like a buffet of songs. I wanted to showcase what it is that I can do and how I can play around with my voice, production, and lyrics to create a variety of interesting proposals to the listener.
BOPA-Do you have any shows coming up?
Ulises- Definitely. There is one coming up soon here in December in Downtown Dallas and one closer to New Years.
BOPA-What separates you from the male artist out now?
Ulises- The fact that I know what I’m doing and am heavily involved in EVERY aspect of my music from the conception to the completion. Even after a CD is completed, I like to be a part of the artistic team where we come up with ideas and decide what songs to perform at shows, what we’re gonna wear, and what choreography we’ll end up doin’. I really just like to be heavily involved with everything that I’m doing.
BOPA-Is Ulises single?
Ulises- Definitely; I am very busy and haven’t had enough time to really commit and give 100% of myself in a relationship. It’s difficult to remain focused and goal-oriented, but you can’t always have your cake and eat it too. Haha. A few sacrifices here and there, but I’m sure in the long run it’ll all be worth it.
BOPA- What do you do on your spare time?
Ulises- I like to spend time with family and friends which is very important; they help keep me grounded and remind me of who I am and where I come from. They help me grow spiritually and make me appreciate what I have.
BOPA- What is your favorite genre to record?
Ulises-I honestly like to record all types; the more challenging, the better. With Pop tracks, I like to experiment with my voice and create sounds and effects that’ll add an extra edge to it. R&B and Ballads can have so much emotion within them and that’s always a plus. Hip-Hop tracks can be full of energy and just wild. Ha. But I think that Ballads/ R&B ones are definitely my favorite because of the fact that so much emotion goes into them and that these can remain classics.
BOPA- Ulises I want to thank you for taking time to do this interview with me. I truly do appreciate it.
Ulises- Definitely. No problem. I appreciate you taking the time to do this.
BOPA- Is there anything you want to tell my reader's
Ulises- Just want to say thanks for taking the time to read this interview. Be sure to check out my music atwww.ulisesworld.com Something I like to reiterate to anyone and everyone: knowledge is power. Be true to yourself; don’t let other people’s actions define who you are. Don’t be afraid to ask questions or demand answers. Individuality is something that makes us unique. Love yourself- flaws and all. On another note, I hope you enjoy my music and are able to identify with it at some level. Haha. Thanks once again. Uli is out!

"Fame Monster" in stores November 23rd
I am now a hardcore Lady GaGa fan...pick your mouths up let me tell you why. there are soooo many artist now alot of them lack originality a style of their own. They are all on the same band wagon. Honestly it's annoying. But Lady GaGa has many singles and they all have been number one. I think it may be her wild style that has me hooked, meaning you have no idea what she would do next the music world needs that...alot of artist lack that.
