From Aceh With Love, Joe Flizzow of Too Phat

We've been saying Joe's been real busy lately. Just cuz you don't see him in the local news and events, it doesn't mean he's not been doing anything! Simply put, Joe's been keeping "international" lately. Last August, Joe Flizzow and DJ T-Bone headed up a concert in Aceh with Big Poi (Phlowtron), Cat Farish and his B-boys to support. "From Aceh with Love, Joe Flizzow of Too Phat" was a huge success. Check out these links for more info:

Joe Flizzow in Tattlelife.com's "Table For Four"

Awhile ago Joe Flizzow was invited by Tattlelife.com to have dinner with them for their regular article called "Table For Four". In Table For Four, the writer, Erman Akinci invites three local celebrities, personalities or friends to have to have dinner with him and talk about subjects of interest to him. So, Erman Akinci invited singer Camelia, DJ Gabriel and Joe Flizzow to talk about the Malaysian music scene. This is was was said about Joe,

"I found not only a passionate artist but also a savvy businessman to boot. His
knowledge of his art & his craft really impressed me along with his deep insight into the challenges of merging hip hop culture with mainstream Malaysian culture. What he said to me towards the end really made an impression. Joe: One thing I love about rapping...hip hop is more detailed...music, it has the ability to really send a message. He can say that again."

Flanegan Bainon photograph's Joe Flizzow in Australia

Joe's not back yet from Melbourne, but we've got some pictures for you through our new friend/photographer Flanegan Bainon. He's a 1st year photography student at RMIT, who wrote to us last week to help him contact Joe in Australia to ask if he could photograph Joe. Within a couple of days, Flanegan got his hook up with the Kartel crew in Oz! Joe then invited him to a function held for university students in Melbourne where he was able to document the night. The party was on a boat. You can read Flanegan's personal account of the whole thing at his own blog Joe Flizzow Kartel-o Shuffling Melbourne yo~. Flanegan if you're reading this, best of luck at university and don't forget to call us whenever you come back to Malaysia!

We've posted some additional pictures sent to us. All by Flanegan Bainon.

Updates

Really sorry we haven't been updating this blog but its been hectic lately. We'll be posting some stuff up soon about where Joe's been and what he's been up as soon as we can some photos in! In the meantime, some side news....this was sent to us from the "Miss Lebanon Groupies" club (Malaysia) who gave her a KL cap as a souvenier while she was down here in KL recently.

Nadine Njeim was here to promote the "Hearts Of Lebanon" concert held on the 27th of August 2007 and also promote her cause to aid the children of Lebanon.

Anyway thanks for the photos Nadine groupies! Always good to see friends of the world wearingKL on their head! You can see Nadine compete in
Miss World 2007 this December!

"KL, KL Big city of Dreams.."

"...why do we have to wear caps with letters for cities we
don't even come
from? One day people are going to wear KL caps and be proud of
it...."

Joe Flizzow, 2004

The KL cap is a realized dream from conversation to reality. A true example of the power of visualization, the power of believing and courage to execute.

Today, many people KL are wearing the KL cap - not just Malaysians, but tourists too. The spread is unbelieveable but for Joe, it was something that was meant to be, because he saw it so clearly in his head.

This is is only the beginning from Joe & his Kartel Records.

We thought this was an appropriate piece to post up this month. To inspire, remind, reflect. Visions and good intentions will take you places!

Selamat Hari Merdeka Malaysia!

Get It Done (Force Ones)

We've been getting a lot of requests for lyrics to Get I Done - Force Ones single.

So here it is, just for you....from Joe Flizzow, Kartel Records

Joe Flizzow ft. Young Ariff Get It Done (Force Ones)

Verse1 (Joe Flizzow)

My white on whites lookin real
nice,
6 other pairs that I keep on Ice, (woah)
Top shelf (woah) all rare, (woah)
Matching colour cap for every single pair, (woah)
It ain't a lie, y'all see why,
I stay fly even when i dont try,
I must confess (no) i'm heartless (no),
Coppin size tens till they aint none left,
(Yeah) y'all hold ya breath everytime I break em out,
Watching my feet like it was a stake out,
Check em out, Check em out,
Cos there aint that many,
Limited edition Nikes one of twenty,
Low cuts, plenty, Mid cuts, many,
When I hit the court prefer the highs than the semis,
Numero uno El
Presidente,
In my Air Force Ones, call me JFK

Chorus

Ya'll know how we gets it done,
Laced up in our Air Force Ones,
If you love it ladies do the run,
Get it done in ya Air Force Ones

x2

Verse 2 (Joe Flizzow)

Sneaker pimpin aint easy,
Got so many kicks on ice, that my closets is freezy,
Cream on chocolate, ladies love em,
Witnessing a level of style that they aint accustomed to,
Got the LV customs too, Guccis got em,
Extra pair just to bust em,
A dozen in my suitcase at the airport customs,
Tighten the laces of my "fresh out the boxes",
Schoolin these dudes how to properly rock em,
See my kicks is whiter than when i probably bought em,
Premium Pixie, Premium Citrus,
Frankenstein, Halloween,Cartoons, Stashes,

Ya'll cant believe it, peep my Undefeateds,
Ya'll can't miss in these pairs of West Indies,
Its Joe Flizzy, Kartel I be bossin,
Watch me operate in my operate in Air Force Ones man

Chorus
x2

Verse 3 (Young Ariff)
Gimme all
fruity colours, tasty lemon limes,
with the ill greens lookin like mint on the side,
Cream is white on whites, steppin sorta outta sight,
Crispy clean sheen for any crumbs than wanna bite,
Pull your tongues out, taste the flava berry red ,
to all the Nike heads,
that stay laced to go to bed,
Wake up fresh to death brushin gums and grooves,
As it moves near the shades of each pair is like new,
Anything on the shelf will pay the coldest price,
All imported so precise,
Stayin sharp is the vice,
i dont need to tell you twice,
Know we bold selectors wreckin every section,
puttin soles on ice,
Run the town, pound the ground,
Kill a sound, wid me Air Force Ones,
Seen,
All around, slack up de dance,
Bringin fiya, with the illest colours,
Rough,
Steppin Razors, with changing laces,
Don't check mi size with any lightweight stuff,
So,
Clear the way up, we comin blazin,
Cuttin dubs up with our Air Force Ones,
Brr

Chorus
x 4
