"LEXhibit A" PreOrder Promo from A-LEX-ANDER THE GREAT on Vimeo.

"Resume?" (Official Video)

"LEXtras II" coming soon...

Decided to drop another project being that I have some much in store for the near future. I was going to drop it towards the end of the year, but after the directer of the webseries I'm in decided on Nov. 4th as the season premiere, I decided to just tie everything together and cross promo. "LEXtras II" should be dropping around Halloween '16. For those who don’t know: The “LEXtraterrestrial” series are my actually albums, but then I also have the “LEXtras” series which is an EP/amalgamation of music that didn’t make the album. The EP consist of a mix of old and new music of mine.

A-LEX-ANDER THE GREAT plays "$lick" in #GrindTheSeries (Webseries)

As of May 7th, I was casted to play a character in a new webseries called "Grind". I was originally told by one of the writers at the time (my dude Q The Prophet, artist/minister I've met about a decade ago [about 2005] back when I first started running around the my city's underground scene doing shows, etc.) to audition for what was supposed to be the lead role of Elijah (Rapper with one foot still in the street). He sent me the script ahead of time and everything. I might have been the only one who already had the script at the auditions. After getting there another cat who goes by the name of Dre Rumble (another artist/minister) was in there killing the audition right before I got there. Needless to say they casted him, immediately. I still went in and did my thing not too long afterwards. They decided they wanted me on the show, but didn't have any characters for me. So they decided to create one for me. The director (Extreem, Award-winning director and Owner of What'z Really Hood DVD) sort of type-casted me (lol). Said he liked my look, then asked me if I knew any scammers, because I looked like one. lol I didn't know whether to take it as a compliment or disrespect at first, but because scammers are the new drug dealer (80s/90s reference), I figured he meant it in a good way. He then began to tell me how he wanted a scammer in the series. On the spot his son came up with a name; "Jeremy aka J-Cash". I decided to add my own lil' slanguage to it and call him "Cent sign to the A, Dollar sign to the H."... After a couple of months, they decided to change the name to "Slick". Needless to say I decided to change the S to a Dollar sign. Tried to be somewhat creative, being that I was really a fan of the new name. it is what it is though. I wasn't a fan of either name really, but "$lick" even more basic. lol Either way, I'm just happy to be apart of the cast. We actually started filming over the last 2 months or so, and finally have landed a date for the Season Premiere - November 4th! Mark your calenders!

This track right here was written/recorded in the Fall of 2010... Beat prod by Manykz (Same dude who made the beat for "I'ma Ride"). This track right here gets me amp'd. It's my approach to all things in life. Can't nothing stop me... You got something you tryna do in life (regardless of what it is) you can apply this track and make it ya anthem! And as you already know the bars are crazy as always so... I just figured I'll release it because I have put anything out in like forever... smh Hope you enjoy. I'll probably rewrite this entry later because I'm on a time restraint now, but anyway... Enjoy! Don't forget to hit me with ya honest feedback. It's always appreciated.

"The LEX-factor (A=MC²)" Video & BTS Footage

CLICK HERE FOR FREE DOWNLOAD OF THIS SONG This here was the 2nd vid I did (after "Do Dat Thang/Stay In Ya Lane"). The beat was produced by my nigga Gully. The video was directed by Eugene Bivens out of Cincinati, Ohio. He came all the way out to NYC to do a day and a half shoot with me and my niggas. This video was shot in 3 locations. Brooklyn (Brooklyn Bridge scene), Lower East Side (Performance studio/Green Screen scenes), and Harlem (Rooftop and hallway scenes). LEXcluding the scenes with the female, she was filmed in Cincinnati. This shoot was so funny for so many reasons. The stories behind this video shoot are endless (to many to get into) and hilarious. Everything from us getting kicked out of a restuarant to having to walk out of another restuarant, to finally getting Eugene's team/fam some food and then him dropping it in the puddle of rain on the way back to bring it to them. LOL It was comedy! Mainly because his ppl were torchin' it down in their whip waiting for the food to get back... So you know they had the munchies to the 3rd power. lol Then my nigga Ryteous pplz' Tee-Tee (who was our make-up artist for this shoot as well as my first vid) got sh?tted on by a pigeon. LOL All the while my nigga Watts was walking around lost in the rain, in Downtown Brooklyn tryna remember where he parked. Yet, he was walking around in circles acting like he didn't see us after he walked around the same block like twice. lol I mean you had to be there. It was hilarious. Mind you all this happened Downtown in like a 4hr period, during the 2nd half of the 2nd day of the shoot while we were eating and tryna burn time because it was raining hard that day, but as soon as it stop we got our bridge shot so... It all worked out (as always). SN: Eugene also has a different edit/version (1st draft) of this video uploaded on Youtube under the name "A-LEX-ANDER THE GREAT Music Video". Below is some BTS footage where you can also get additional info on the song/vid. Enjoy.

"I'ma Ride" (1 verse)

This track was written & recorded during the fall/winter of last year. One of the few joints that I've actually recorded and put out almost right away. It was sent/given to me by a producer who was making the beat available to any and everybody. Anyone who knows me would tell you I only like recording/writing to LEXclusive beats. I feel like if I'ma gunna hop on a beat that's available to everybody I might as well hop on a much more well-known industry joint. Another thing I don't like doing, but I'll get into that another time. It might actually be soon too (and you'll know why then lol). So, I decided it wasn't gunna make my next project which meant I might be sitting on it for a good min (like I normally do with a lot of my songs), but then I thought to myself if he's giving this beat to any and everybody somebody's gunna lay something down to it and put it out there on the internet before me. So, about 3 weeks after I recorded it, I decided to release 1 verse of it. Just to discourage anyone else who was thinking about tryna come off on this beat. This track is hard too so... Unless they're coming better than what I did on it (which I doubt), they'll only make a fool out of themselves jumping on the beat. lol Yet, even if they did lay it down, it'll already be documented on the internet that I layed it down first. lol So, in a nutshell, that's how I came about releasing this one... Hope you enjoy.

P.S. Shoutout to all my true fans of The Boondocks... The intro fit so perfect, I just had to do it.

Here's another joint you'll find on the "LEXtraterrestrial" mixtape. This vid was shot out in Jerz by my nigga Gully. I refer to this video as a "Photoshoot style Performance". The reason I do so is because originally this vid was supposed to be more of a stage performance video. I actually was gunna just edit up different performances I had of this song and make a video. But then @ the last minute I decided it'll be better if I added a few white screen shots throughout the video just to mix it up a bit and make it fuller. So, we did the scenes and during the editing process I gave Gully the stage performance footage to mix in with it (along with a stage performance he had already recorded of me like a couple of weeks prior to the video shoot), but he said he had enuff footage to make a dope, full vid so... I just let him do his thing and when I got the final copy of the vid. This is what it was. So I just rocked with it like that. While we was shooting the footage his set up was reminding everybody of a photo shoot so... Ultimately I just decided to call it a "Photoshoot style performance".

Song-wise this is one of my favorite joints that I've recorded. This song was recorded in the beginning of 2009, although I was sittin' on the beat for about half a year before that (smh). I just didn't know how I wanted to come off on it. But when I finally figured it out, I went off! I luv this track - the bars (especially the 2nd & 3rd verses), beat, energy, etc. There's actually a quote in this song that helped me decide the name of the mixtape. "Spittin' outta this world, call me LEXtraterrestrial" - A-LEX-ANDER THE GREAT.

SN: That's me screaming "C'mon!" during the chorus (in the background) sounding like a rockstar sample. lol

Below is one of the performances that was originally gunna be used throughout the vid. Enjoy.
