The other night I was digging around in my hard drive, I don’t even remember what I was looking for. I found a treasure chest full of old songs: half-finished numbers, freestyles, and stuff that I had forgotten how much I liked it when I did it.

Here are a couple of gems you’ve never heard before (both of these are freestyles, made up as I went along):

Memory Lane Freestyle
Download audio file (Sean-Ward-Memory-Lane-Freestyle.mp3)

I Needed You
Download audio file (Sean-Ward-I-Needed-You.mp3)

And some stuff you ain’t heard in a long time:

Funky Shit #1
Download audio file (Sean-Ward-Funky-Shit.mp3)

Say Goodbye
Download audio file (Sean-Ward-Say-Goodbye.mp3)

Basically I took everything, from the Paid to Party EP to all of this unheard stuff to stuff that hasn’t been heard in a while and put it all on the SONGS page at www.seanwardraps.com

Let me know how you dig it! Comment below!

Good one, America.  President-Elect Barack Obama.  We’re all very proud of you.

First of all, you put up two really great candidates.  Obama-maniacs went nuts like the world was going to come to an end if McCain had been elected, but everyone forgot about how he was such a darling of the media in the recent past on account of his ‘maverick’ status.  The poor guy got it in his head that he needed Bush’s crowd behind him to win, and started losing himself trying to woo them.  But the whole world is lucky for the fact that no matter who won, there would have been a good president.

Second, there was none of the nastiness that typically characterizes your elections.  I am more media-saturated than I have ever been, and I saw almost no really ugly attack ads until the last week or so.  There was definitely nothing like the Swift Boat Veterans For Truth or whatever they were called in 2004.  Both John McCain and Barack Obama conducted themselves well and the campaign mostly brought out the best in everyone.

And finally, you made the right decision.  Your election of Barack Obama was throwing in with the future.  A few haters have commented that people from around the world have no place taking any pride in Obama’s election.  But if we’re all going to come together and say “We’re all Americans now” in a moment of tragedy, why not for something positive?

We’ll be watching you for the next four years with great interest and enthusiasm.

And now enjoy a little ditty from Lee Dorsey!
