MLB Trade Deadline 2013
On top of writing music I am an active pitcher and avid sports fan, reader, listener, and watcher… particularly ESPN Radio 98.7 FM NY and Pardon the Interruption. One of my many dreams is get my own radio show there and incorporate rapping about the sports news, with cameras filming for ESPN HD. My teams are the Yankees, Broncos, Knicks, Penguins. I hate the Red Sox, the Raiders, and despise the Nets. Here is my first Yankee Krayblog.
At the trade deadline, I think the Yankees needed to get another bat. Brian Cashman should have grown a pair and traded for someone else, like Michael Young or Justin Morneau. Why not make a blockbuster move and give fans more to talk about than biogenesis? It’s Mariano Rivera’s last year so i don’t care about your prospects for a legend. No prospect has really become a star since Cano since Joba and Hughes are sadly coming up short when this should be their prime. They could have been traded in a deal, but of course a deal wasn’t made.
Now all Yankee fans have to just root for A-Rod’s lawyers to get him off so he can win back the Bronx and prove every sports host wrong. He needed the power needles and hulk pills to be the home run king, which would immortalize him… but he’s still a damn Yankee and can (probably) pass a drug test now. If he passes, what greater story than winning the world series in Mariano’s last year when everyone has written you off?
You’re our favorite cheater A-Rod, and richest. Repeat 2009. 13 is the number on your jersey, now make it your year too. Help the Yankees catch the Red Sox if you’re not banned from showing up at the field. Jeter doesn’t want this to turn into a Kobe and Dwight situation if you know what I mean. How would you like getting traded back to Texas or Houston? Good luck finding clubs like New York down there.
Meanwhile Soriano, Jeter, and Pettite can pretend it’s 1999 and get us ring # 28. Go Yankees!

Decided to use this website as a blog to track this journey to self-fulfillment. Here’s the first Ka Rikka Rant:
Ok so now it’s time for the darker, more relentless side to come out in the music a.k.a. Ka Rikka. After pitching on the mound today and throwing straight heat then hitting like a monster in BP, it occurred to me that all I wanna do is strike people out while using any God-given skill that can prove superiority/legitimacy with no room for debate. I just released this pop love song Juicy Pants (Like Summer Love still my fav pop one), so now I’m gonna do a polar opposite with the next song. 4 of my fav skills so far: throwing a baseball, writing/articulation, always knowing what women are thinking/their opinion of me (also a weakness), knowing how to piss people off when I want to. Hmmmmmm, ok I got it. Yes definitely. You will see this week on Tyga Remix 3.
My weaknesses: always knowing what women are thinking, being impulsive, can’t sleep at night, refusal to throw innocent under the bus for self-gain, absolutely suck at drinking/hard alcohol messes me up for days, can’t dance at all (good thing I can spit fire), only care about what female strangers think/literally don’t care if any guy hates me who I don’t know/respect, addiction to buying exotic animals, the need to always pursue a girl who’s a challenge (ever since 2nd grade), willingness to be going down with ship (also a strength), selflessness (could also be a strength, but it’s done more harm than good so far).
Strengths (other than my 4 favs): Self-awareness, being totally genuine/not fake, knowing my mistakes (#1 is throwing a show near Paterson, NJ for people from the rich 201), knowing what people want to listen to/what keeps their attention (mostly aimed directly for girl audience), relentless will to succeed, built-in six pack, people skills, public speaking, essay writing/bullshitting, keeping her wanting more/ability to satisfy like no other when sober, willingness to be going down with the ship/never quitting (this does not mean I won’t do a job outside of Word Up ’95, in early talks to work for CBS Sports/NFL and am getting Boiler’s License to be head custodian of school. Every other Word Up ’95 venture takes up the rest of my time).
Areas for improvement: I need a new wardrobe, anger management, gain like 10 pounds (on the way), learn how to get drunk without regretting it/or just don’t ever drink again, saving $ while still investing in career, making amends with people affected by my past mistakes, take more time to appreciate those who do believe in what I’m doing…which is definitely you now after reading this.   That’s it for tonight. Word Up ’95 Style.
-Krayon Koz (Ka Rikka)
Word Up ’95 is here to prove that people will indeed flock to this idea, and profit can be made for whoever believes in it enough to lend their time. The long-term goal is to have one area where all the animals, music, and sports can be while also being totally portable with Ford Ranger pickups to tow whatever needed. Krayon Koz will continue to work hard for this goal while also expanding on the clothing line that is ‘Word Up ’95 Style’ available on the MERCH page. The long-awaited album ‘No Lawyers’ will drop in 2013 as well, and it is guaranteed to be something that changes pop, hip-hop, and music as we know it.
spoiler alert: Krayon got his ear for melodies by playing cornet since 1st grade, and will bring back this skill to the album ‘No Lawyers’ to push the limits of what is mainstream. Special guests and his resurrected use of harmonica that were used in both previous albums (The Krayon Project, Karikkulum) will appear as well, along with other surprises in both the videos and songs that cannot be written in words. Word Up ’95 could not be more excited for 2013!
2011:
Word Up ’95 is born. After Krayon Koz works diligently for months in the studio, the full-length album ‘Karikkulum’ is released and distributed with over 4,000 copies handed out for free. KrayonKoz.com is launched, Word Up Rodeo has formed and the new studio building is in full blast. Krayon’s dream truck has been purchased in June of this year as he continues to work toward his goal of launching the full-time business in May of the following year.
