We are grinding here at SCR Entertainment, so while we diligently push through the workload, please be patient; you’ll love the new website!

A website we are developing which is essentially the whole catalog of SCR Entertainment is now in the works. The first 12 SCR releases dating back to 1993 plus all of the new works will all be available. At launch we will have over 150 tracks with more coming!

While the site is being completed, we are going to be adding a few albums on a new page on BanginBeatsByREL.com which is being worked on at this time. Currently, we intend to launch the SCR Vault site with the release of my first solo album “Spoken”, currently planned for December.

Here is a breakdown of the 5 most recent beats added to the site:

• Mo Fo U - Other Flavor
• Jazzy Funk - East Coast
• In The Hole - Club Flavor
• West Coast Funk - West Coast
• Symphony Funk - West Coast

All through September you can read my blog for updates and progress on the things I’m working on.

Take Action Now

We all desire to be successful and live lives full of that which we deem valuable. However, the frequency with which we hear others and, sometimes ourselves, say things like, “Someday I will…” or “At some point I will get around to it…” implies that at best some external event will make a thing possible, or at worst, says the fulfillment of a wish is your best chance for success.

Neither is accurate for anyone; the truth is, success is a choice and is available to everyone. What is achievable by one is achievable by all because we all have the ability to direct our thinking and actions. Remove everything from a man and what remains is the last of the human freedoms; the ability to direct one’s own thinking and choose one’s own attitudes.

No rule, culture, disability, or circumstance can stop a man from arriving at a goal persevered for with diligent action. Being present in today affords you the ability to affect all of the tomorrows to come. Today is the only place you really live and have any real control. Seizing the “now” requires action. Oh, the many articles and books that have been written on the subject; great are their number.

Clichés aside, I feel it valuable to restate here what is of vital importance for your career in general and life as a whole. This is wisdom in the truest sense; think what you will, but know this truth: success will not wait on you, nor will it chase you. Opportunity is always within reach, but you must stretch out your hand and reach for it.

Here I highlight six action points which can serve as useful reminders that all you desire is on the other side of action:

1. Action alone will move you toward your dreams, your plans and the achievement of your goals. Action makes success possible.
2. Action because now is where you live. Yesterday is gone and tomorrow is unsure, so grab the opportunities of now.
3. Action determines your value in business and to multiply business you must multiply wise action.
4. Action is necessary. When you are hungry you eat, and when thirsty you drink. Action is required to attain and enjoy both, as it is for success.
5. Action will secure opportunities which will be missed without action. Success will not wait on you nor will it chase you.
6. Action improves courage, strengthens resolve and shrinks fear while at the same time reveals the unknown and empowers faith in the process.

Natasha’s album is currently on the high heat burner. Be sure to check the blog for updates.

Beat production for BanginBeatsByREL.com continues to be the priority until the first goal is met: 60 World Class Beats! We now have 27 on the site.

"Spoken", my first solo album is slated for a December release; just in time for Christmas. This album will be a mix of all the musical flavors I love; spoken word, rap, neo-soul and lounge / down tempo tracks.

I'm an artist doing what artists do; creating art. Of course, it's hip hop, and my hip hop roots will be felt. I've already begun production, so as things are developed I will share them with you. I have added three more tracks to the project. The total track number has again changed. At this point I’m considering 15. This will mark album number 13.
