TO EVERYONE KEEPS ASKING WHERE MY MUSIC WENT, WHY RANDOM ALBUMS HAVE BEEN TAKEN DOWN AND WHEN IT’S COMING BACK TO DSPS, I WISH THE DISTRIBUTERS WHO REMOVED IT WERE AS INTERESTED IN ANSWERING THAT QUESTION AS YOU ALL ARE ASKING IT. OVER THE PAST FEW MONTHS DISTRIBUTORS HAVE TAKEN DOWN RECORDS IV'E MADE AND RELEASED YEARS BEFORE AI WAS EVEN AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC. ALL THOSE RECORDS CLEARLY HAVE RELEASE DATES, APPARENTLY THE PEOPLE REVIEWING THEM DON’T CARE OR HAVE THE TIME TO DIFFERENTIATE. I’VE SPENT COUNTLESS HOURS AND SLEEPLESS NIGHTS WORKING NON-STOP & BUILDING THIS CATALOG AND AT THIS POINT TO MUCH TIME HAS BEEN WASTED MONTHS WAITING FOR ANSWERS. MY LOVE FOR MY MUSIC AND THE RESPECT I HAVE FOR EVERYONE WHO LISTENS AND SUPPORTS DESERVES MORE. IT’S EXHAUSTING TO HAVE YOUR WORK TAKEN FROM YOU THEN BE EXPECTED TO POLITELY WAIT FOR ACCESS TO IT, ESPECIALLY WHEN YOUR NOT A BIG ARTIST & HAVE TO DEAL WITH THESE COMPANIES GIVING US PENNIES AND ARE STILL GETTING DECIDING WHETHER YOUR MUSIC BELONGS ON THEIR PLATFORMS WHEN WE THE ARTISTS ARE WHAT THEIR BUSINESS IS BUILT ON. I CAN’T GIVE YOU A DATE FOR WHEN THEY’LL GET BACK TO ME BUT I CAN GIVE YOU SOMEWHERE ELSE TO LISTEN. BUILT MY OWN DSP. EVERYTHING I’VE EVER MADE TILL NOW AND ALL FUTURE RELEASES, REMASTERED BY ME IS LIVE NOW. THE APP IS AVAILABLE ON IOS NEW UPDATES, BUILDS & ANDROID VERSION IS COMING SOON. THANK YOU FOR STILL ASKING WHERE THE MUSIC IS. I INTEND TO KEEP THE ANSWER IN MY OWN HANDS. JOIN THE DISCORD GET UPDATES AND LATEST VERSIONS OF THE APP BC APPLE TAKES TO LONG TO PUSH UPDATES SINCE SO MANY PEOPLE ARE MAKING APPS. 私の音楽がどこへ行ったのか」「なぜランダムなアルバムが削除されたのか」「いつDSPに戻ってくるのか」と繰り返し尋ねてくださる皆さんへ。削除したディストリビューターたちが、皆さんがその質問を投げかけるのと同じくらい、その答えに興味を持ってくれたらいいのにと思います。 ここ数ヶ月、ディストリビューターたちは、AIが一般に公開される何年も前に私が制作・リリースしたレコードを削除してきました。それらのレコードにはすべて明確なリリース日が記載されていますが、審査担当者はそれを気にも留めていないか、区別する時間すらないようです。 私はこのカタログを構築するために、数え切れないほどの時間と眠れない夜を費やし、休むことなく働き続けてきました。しかし、この時点で、回答を待つために数ヶ月もの時間が無駄に費やされてしまいました。私の音楽への愛、そして私の音楽を聴き、支えてくださるすべての方々への敬意は、それ以上の扱いに値するはずです。 自分の作品を奪われた挙句、その作品へのアクセス権を得るために礼儀正しく待たされるのは、本当に疲れることです。特に、大物アーティストでもないのに、こうした企業からわずかな報酬しか受け取れず、しかも「自分の音楽が彼らのプラットフォームにふさわしいか」という判断をまだ下している最中であるのは、本当に疲れる。私たちアーティストこそが、彼らのビジネスの基盤なのだから。 彼らがいつ返答してくれるか、具体的な日程は言えませんが、代わりに聴ける場所を一つご紹介します。 独自のDSPを構築しました。 これまでに制作したすべての楽曲と、今後リリースされるすべての楽曲(私がリマスターしたバージョン)が、現在公開されています。アプリはiOS版で利用可能で、新しいアップデートやビルドが提供されています。Android版も近日中にリリース予定です。 「音楽はどこにあるの?」と今も尋ねてくれてありがとう。その答えは、今後も私自身が握り続けるつもりです。 Discordに参加して、アプリの最新情報や最新バージョンを入手してください。アプリを作っている人が多すぎて、Appleのアップデート配信には時間がかかりすぎるからです。 thepowerstone.com/

More good news: Food Not Bombs just won its case against the city of Houston—a federal judge found that the city violated the group's First Amendment rights with its "blanket refusal" to allow them to distribute food to the homeless outside the library.

This episode was fire
‼️The Carceral Left Rises (w/ @equalityAlec)‼️ The author of Copaganda exposes how everyone from Malcom Gladwell to Zohran Mamdani to the pages of Jacobin magazine are spreading pro-cop misinformation about the relationship between public safety & policing -- even as the big tech surveillance state has more power than ever to kill the left.

To my nothing-ever-happens eyes, this photo has the aura of one of those “old” political photos, back when things could actually possibly change. Still haven’t quite processed everything tbh but it feels nice to be unsure what comes next
First stop post-win: Whataburger.

HOLY SHIT 😭 they’re TERRIFIED. Good. They should be.
Fox News just called out Greg Abbott directly to his face on why he and Ken Paxton refused to debate their opponents in the Texas Senate and Gubernatorial races. He stumbles big time in answering the question.

Only in your death will people give you money that you needed while alive
When I first donated to Javits gofundme it was around 19k, now it’s over 550k. No amount of money can make this right but at least it’s one less thing for the family to worry about.

He’s genuinely pissed at Keith Lee for rejecting class privilege and advocating for working-class [Black] folks. It’s incredible to see in real time.

And I would have sued. If she’s 10 fucking centimeters someone should have been at the end of the bed already. That baby could have slipped out and hit his head if that dad wasn’t looking. Nurses walking around looking confused asf. He looks irritated and rightfully so.
Dad better send that hospital an invoice 😭

“This is the plantation politic that defines Houston's power structure. The strong donor class often straps non-white people into political leadership as managers of non-white dissent.” — @uyive_ scalawagmagazine.org/2026/09…

First of all, I pray that this young woman sees all those in her corner and praying she is well and receives the justice she deserves. Thank you to AJPlus for highlighting the disparity in reaction between to assault and anti-genocide protest activity.
7 male students were accused of gang raping a woman. Part of Cornell University’s punishment was … an essay. At the same time, pro-Palestinian students, were being arrested, suspended or deported for speaking out against the genocide in Gaza.

Houston writer @uyive_ reflects on this year’s Menil Summer School exhibit, highlighting Houston’s Civil Rights Movement history, and the racist, repressive structures from that time that persist & stifle the city’s contemporary social justice movements. scalawagmagazine.org/2026/09…
