Did you know that there are times of the day when you are most productive?

Wrote 3 songs last night. Was it a full moon, because I was definitely in my element 🙏

— CHAD A. MARSHALL (@VonPoeVII) October 20, 2015

It appears the nighttime is the right time for Von Poe VII to write his rhymes. We all have a circadian ryhthm and it is important to know what it is so you can maximize your productivity. Jim Muncy wrote in his book Time Basics 1:01,

"Our bodies and our minds operate on a twenty-four hour clock. When it comes to physical energy and mental alertness, sometimes we are up and sometimes we are down. These ups and downs come at about the same time every day. This regular pattern of ups and downs in our energy level is called our 'circadian rhythm" (47).

If you are more productive at night then well, you know you need to be up at that time to accomplish your task(s). If you are a morning person then go straight at it when the sun rises. If your work/school schedule does not match your circadian rhythm, then you either need to change your work/school schedule or change your circadian rhyhtm. Changing your work/school schedule may be a great challenge, but hey, success is not built on convience. If it was, everyone would be successful. As long as Von Poe VII, Papa J. Ruiz, Yarah Bravo, and the rest of Organized Threat continue or begin to work with their circadian rhyhtm, the productivity will continue to pour out.

Xican Brown

With an album on the way, Xican Brown builds anticipation for it with a new release "Dream (Look At The People)".


Xican Brown utilizes his raw and uncut sound to deliver an empowering message. It is possibly the most important message that anyone can receive. Dream and dream big! Do not let negative people take away your dreams! Look at the people that unfortunately had their dreams taken away, and know that is not the way to go! Find a way and make it happen. If Xican Brown can do it, you can do it! Make sure to take advantage of the free download of "Dream (Look At The People)".

Xican Brown will also have his own website up soon. For more on Xican Brown, watch his visual for "God's Gravedigga" by clicking here.

The Organized Threat members have been working hard and that statement will hold to be true in the coming weeks. There will be multiple albums released soon. One that has a known release date is an album coming from producer Joogy Music. Novemeber 27, 2015 is the release date for it. Joogy will be responsible for all production on the album. Von Poe VII and Papa J. Ruiz are the known features at the moment.

Vic Virtuoso has released his Victor Van Gogh album and it is available on iTunes, Spotify, Apple Music, and Google Play. Click here to purchase it through iTunes. Victor Van Gogh holds within it's grasp fourteen tracks. Von Poe VII is featured on track number seven "With My Blood". Vic Virtuso will capitalize off the release of his album with an album release party. If you're in or around the area I recommend that you attend the party! Yes, you may own the digital album but it just won't compare to the experience of being there live!

Von Poe VII is "almost finished" with the full album of The Purity of Love and War. There was a previous version of the album released earlier this year. Poe believes that it can be better and so he has decided to put out a more advanced version of the album. I believe that The Purity of Love and War is a great album to begin with so if Von Poe VII believes he can do better, then I am prepared to be blown away!

Morning world, bout to record this epicness real quick. Almost finished with the project #TPOLAW: Full Album

— CHAD A. MARSHALL (@VonPoeVII) October 28, 2015

Things don't always go as planned and that's okay. Why should they? URSUS and the announcement of an album from him has been mentioned in previous OGT Weeklys. The plans have changed and that album is no longer being worked on. He said, "It just didnt turn out how i wanted it to". From this point on he will be working to complete his Stay Still album.

There is your OGT Weekly and as you can see, all you need is one read to get the latest on OGT! This will also ring true in about 2 weeks when Tiff composes and publishes her OGT Weekly. Thank you for taking the time out to read and make sure to spread the word! And yes, you are welcome for I did just write a great OGT Weekly.

- Fiasco

"Stolen Whip" Sets a New Standard & Details on New OGT Albums!

This is Fiasco and I am here to present to you the latest news from Organized Threat! We receive a great surprise from Papa J. Ruiz, exclusive information on an upcoming project from URSUS, as well as details on Vic Virtuoso's album, and more will fill up this OGT Weekly.

Why is the OGT Weekly important?

The OGT Weekly is important for many reasons! We can't all be online 24/7. Some of us work full-time, go to school full-time, or a mixture of the two. On top of that we all have friends and family that we like to see as well as activies we like to take part in. It would be irrational to believe that someone can be behind a screen waiting for their favorite artists to relase some new content. Every two weeks the OGT Weekly has you covered from EVERYTHING that Organized Threat released and announced into ONE blog.

On top of being busy, and I know all of you are busy being productive because you're Organized Threat listeners, as humans (some of us) we just miss things. Maybe you missed that tweet or that IG post or maybe you just don't have the proper social media platform that the news was announced on. No matter if you have Twitter, FB, or an IG, Tiff (another OGT Weekly contributor) and I have you covered!

Lastly, from time to time the Organized Threat members prefer to release exclusive news or music through the OGT Weekly. The OGT Weekly has the power of supplying you with the cutting edge news as soon as it's released. Now that is why the OGT Weekly is important!

OGT WEEKLY (blog #666, take 7, round 8)

If you don't believe in yourself, then why do you expect to see results? Believing in yourself is the self-talk that you need to commence your journey to accomplishing your goal. Telling yourself "I know I can do this", "(insert task here) is easy", you are programming your brain for success! Papa J. Ruiz would agree...

You have to be your BIGGEST BELIEVER & SUPPORTER.

— RUiiiZ £@$+₩●●D (@PapaJRuiz) August 25, 2015

Papa J. Ruiz has released his first project since dropping his HR 1955 album. Here is HR1955 (LOST FILES) and it contains in it's grasp, 8 tracks that did not make the tracklist for HR 1955. While playing HR1955 (LOST FILES) you may come across tracks that you have heard before and some new tracks as well. During your experience you may wonder why certain tracks didn't make the album. Specifically, "La Sistema / The System", did not make the album even though it did receive the music visual treatment. Leave a comment below, stating a track (or two) that you believe should have made the official album.

In combination with new music, we recieve the option to purchase new merchandise as well! The first edition all black snapback from Papa J. Ruiz is now available! All you need to do is click here.

And now, here is Papa J. Ruiz's new visual!


Papa J. Ruiz - Stolen Whip [Official Music Video] from VON POE VII on Vimeo.
With director Chad A. Marshall, Papa J. Ruiz presents to you a cohesive visual for "Stolen Whip"! There are several thoughts racing through my mind right now that I want to say about this visual. Just to start off, I do believe that this visual sets a brand new standard for Organized Threat visuals moving forward. "Stolen Whip" really had everything in balance and not one shot was more important than the other. Chad A. Marshall and Papa J. Ruiz were still able to tell a story that related to the track, while making sure to capture scenes of Papa J. Ruiz performing his raps. Along with that, they were still able to fit scenes in of elements that you typically see in todays music videos but, OGT did it on their terms. The scenes I'm talking about are the dancing scene and the scene with the woman. Typically in a music video today you would see over the top or unncessary dancing and a woman showing off "a lot". Not in this visual! The dance didn't take away from the visual and a beautiful woman was not the highlight (nor does it make it the only reason to watch the visual multiple times)! In a previous OGT Weekly that obtained Papa J. Ruiz's visual for "Rap Records / LA Resident" there was a transistion in scenes and there was a scene that was served to transistion into the second part of the track. I commented by saying "I'm not not sure how I feel about the setup. I believe if Organized Threat continues to play around with that approach it can only get better". And guess what? It is better this time around! This transition is vital to the "Stolen Whip" visual and has the potential to change your perception. Have I wrote enough about this visual? And it seems that OGT has finally agreed to their deal with Arizone Iced Tea. If you want to focus more on the track itself, "Stolen Whip" can be located on Papa J. Ruiz's album HR 1955.

Well I don't know if you knew but Von Poe VII appears to have a plan to release a vinyl for The Purity Of Love And War. Now, I haven't owned a vinyl before so I'll have to make this my first one.

Might not even press up CD copies of TPOLAW. Might just make mad flyers, tell niggas to download it to their phones and wait for the vinyl.

— CHAD A. MARSHALL (@VonPoeVII) August 25, 2015

Via the Twitter social media platform, Von Poe VII and Papa J. Ruiz entertain the possibility of collaboration merch in 2016. If they do go through with this, it may inspire other OGT members to "buddy up" and do the same. This has the possibility of doing very well. It is still 2015 so while we wait for 2016 to approach, what are ideas/designs come to mind for Von Poe VII x Papa J. Ruiz collab merch? Leave a comment below!

"I Am His-Panic" is the newest track from Xican Brown. Xican Brown comes straight at you with a relentless delivery and hard hitting lines. "I Am His-Panic" serves as a track that makes sure Xican Brown and his Hispanic heritage is heard.


Somehow, some way the thought of accomplishing things on our own became the example of true hard work. I would love to meet the person who actually did EVERY single thing on his/her own. When it comes down to it we need a support system, mentorship, and unity to reach our goals. Sonny Sev would agree...

Unity is important. Knowing you cant unite with everyone might be most important 

— SONNY SEV (@sevenxempty) August 21, 2015

With Vic Virtuoso's album Victor Van Gogh on the way, he has provided me with the latest information on his album! In total there will be thirteen tracks and seven of those will be produced by himself. He has confirmed with me the following features; Sticky Ricky, Derrick Oliver, Von Poe VII, Razor, and Sonny Sev. Victor Van Gogh is coming soon!

Another Organized Threat member that has an EP on the way is URSUS. Entitled Resurrection, this project will actually be an introduction to the URSUS character. It is important to note that although it will be the second project released it is actually the third part to a journey. The journey actually began with URSUS' Prologue EP and that project set up the environment. According to URSUS, "Stay Still  is going to the be the story and events that lead the URSUS character to be the type of person he is. So its like introducing the environment. Then the character. Then doing an origin story".

When characters arise in literature and music, we often wonder if that character carries attributes of the author. I asked URSUS if the URSUS character has anything in common with who he is as a person. URSUS replied, "I mean there are real things and feelings in there that come from my experience, but it's all hidden in metaphor. So I draw from real experiences, but at the end of the day it's a character". Ressurrection will be here on September 22nd.

In case you missed it (see how important the OGT Weekly is now?), I have placed the visuals for Organized Threat's BARS sessions. In this BARS series, Organized Threat places the focus on the lyrical skills of their MCs. I believe that this is one of the greatest ideas to arise and I hope that we continue to see more. I have embeded the Youtube player so that it plays each one right after the other. You're welcome.



Individually each member of OGT has their own personal Bandcamp account where they release music and merchandise. Now Organized Threat as a whole has their own bandcamp. The OGT Bandcamp links you to each member's Bandcamp. Von Poe VII told me that it "will be used as hub for all music / merch related to OGT".

There is your OGT Weekly! Make sure to feed your dog right after reading this. Some side effects include; binge watching OGT videos on their Youtube channel, tweeting your favorite Vida Killz lines, or flying to Colorado to kidnap Papa J. Ruiz. If you believe there are others that will find interest in reading this OGT Weekly, go ahead and send him/her/it/dog/fish/god this link! Also, make sure to answer the questions in the OGT Weekly by leaving a comment below! drones.

a storm is coming

Hello everyone, this is Fiasco and
my fingers are currently touching my keyboard so
I can provide you with the latest news in
the Organized Threat camp.
There is a lot of news in this edition of the OGT Weekly and
that's really good because that means...a storm is coming...

Papa J. Ruiz + Von Poe VII

Papa J. Ruiz and Von Poe VII have been delivering tons of conent this year and
it doesn't look like they plan to slow down. A recent video published on
the Organized Threat Facebook page prepares you for what is to
come. That's if we can prepare at all. Although both of these artists have
collaborated previously it seems that we may be getting a joint project from the two.
The duo of Von Poe VII and Vida Killz have been my favorite thus far to
come out of Organized Threat and the duo of
Von Poe VII and Papa J. Ruiz have potential to take that spot.

May 14th will be the day that Papa J. Ruiz
Performs with Casey Veggies in
Colorado. to witness this

Instagram asking for assistance from people
In the Inland Empire. preferably between the ages of
18 and 21. if you have no interest in being a rapper
Then contact him through IG or Twitter.


How Did Rellim Get Started In OGT?

After committing the act of a
Simple Youtube search in
2011, Rellim came across OGT.
After watching an interview in 2013 with
Devour (former OGT member), Rellim
Chose to start sending beats to him.
Eventually they collaborated on "Ounce".
Von Poe VII ended up directing that visual
So he heard Rellim's production. After clearing up
The question of if Rellim was strictly Devour's producer,
Rellim subsequently commenced sending beats to
Poe. One of the beats was the second part to "FREDO".
This took place around the time Phora and Eskupe
Were no longer part of OGT and so Poe decided
To replace them with Rellim. Good choice Poe.

After hearing about Organized Threat
Rellim was somewhat interested in
Being a part of the Threat. Due to
The quality of the videos and music
Composed, Rellim thought they were a
Label. Thats not was he was looking for.
After realizing they were all
Independent, Rellim became more
Attracted to the team. Through hardwork
And good timing, Rellim became part of
Organized Threat and is now a proud
Current member.

Lyrical Overdose

The following two artists have released
Content that showcases their talents
As a writer/poet/mc. Koolz One has
Officially released his first EP since
Being a part of Organized Threat.
The Writers Block EP contains eleven
Tracks that prove why Koolz One is part of
The Threat in the first place. Koolz One
Seems to have found a lyrical buddy
In Xican Brown as he featured on
Four of the tracks.

Vida Killz is featured in the latest
BARS session. She empties her
Poetry "Lady Death pt.V".
Director Chad A. Marshall was
Present to capture this occurence.
The BARS session created by Organized
Threat is meant to focus on the "lyrical
Content" of their MCs. From the first
One released, I knew Vida Killz would
Be a perfect fit. I just had to wait for it to
Be released.
If you've been suffering from lack
Of lyrical passion and creativity,
Vida Killz and Koolz One have
Provided you a cure. no medical
Insurance required.

Organized Threat

The following announcement
Is news first released through
This edition of the OGT Weekly.
OGT producer JG will
Undergo a name change.
After coming across another
Artists using the name J.G.,
Our JG subsequently completed
Research on the internet to
See how many other JG's there
Are. After coming across too many
JG's and their lack of talent, our JG
Prefers to not be associated with
That name. He will now go by the name
URSUS.

Organized Threat now has an
Official Instagram page. You
Can follow them @ogtofficial.

According to a recent post on

Closing Words

Why did I decided to
Compose this OGT Weekly
In stanzas? It was just an
Idea that came to mind
And I decdied to type with it
(not run with it). I wanted to
Do something different and
So I did. You're welcome.

Listen to Papa J. Ruiz's "HR-1955" and Learn More of What's New in OGT

This is Fiasco and I am alive right now to supply you with the latest news on Organized Threat. Can I outdo the effort Tiff put in the previous OGT Weekly?

HR-1955 IS OFFICIALLY OUT! 

Dedicated to his son Nasir Lyric Ruiz, Papa J. Ruiz has officially released his HR-1955 album. Before commencing your journey into the album, it is important you view this exclusive interview with Papa J. Ruiz below;




HR-1955 contains 17 tracks that provides us with more life experiences of Papa J. Ruiz expressed through his rapping ability. We are met with Papa J. Ruiz's raw rhyming over superb production. Off the top of my head, one of my favorite lines so far coming from his "Color Blind" track is "Throw me in some holy water / Baby watch that shit boil". You can't help but picture Papa J. standing tall as steam rises around him. On top of that it is sure to get a few religious people "boiling", only if they take the line to heart. That's what I like.

The second part of "Domestic Terrorist" is a nice highlight of the album. When we were introduced to the visual we were not told that there are features. Then, the album tracklist showed that JMega and Von Poe VII are featured on it. So for those of you who like to start from track 1, were surely anticipating what they had to offer. For those who didn't care what track they listened to first, definitely skipped straight to "Domestic Terrorist".

The second half of "PennyLess" was one of my favorite highlights of the album. The production is not what we are normally used to hearing from Ruiz. It was definitely a nice addition to close out the album. Possibly foreshadowing what  his next project may sound like.

Words that come to mind after listening to HR-1955; loyalty, hard work, never quit, passion

From the purchases shown on bandcamp to the tweets retweeted by Papa J. Ruiz, HR-1955 is being accepted by a lot of listeners. And that's not surprising at all. Click here to listen to HR-1955.

LATEST ON VON POE VII

"Soliloquy" is the newest visual from Von Poe VII and it is from his The Purity of Love and War album. My initial reaction was the visual itself is 100x more important than the audio. I really believe that what we are presented with are the types of visuals one would think about by just listening to the production by the Nujabees, alone. A lot of sunshine and people smiling.




Von Poe VII also linked up with Foxsta for their track "Negus".

Being that April is Von Poe VII's birthday month, he is contemplating on dropping one visual a week. It is unknown from which albums these visuals will come from. Click here to view the tweet. Von Poe VII also hints that the final album to his The Villainz Trilogy will be the "darkest" of the three. He went on to compare it to his DTTS: Chapter 2. album which is no longer available. Do you know what that means? It means I'm going to really like this last album.

#OGTNEWS

Step aside Koolz One, Rellim will make the announcement for you! Rellim took to Twitter to let everyone know that Koolz One will be dropping a track today. Given the fact that Rellim announced it, leads me to believe that he is responsible for the production. If not, then he just might be really excited about the news.

Joogy has officially launched his website. It's clean and very easy to navigate. Check it out by clicking here.

Vida Killz has converted from soft copies to hard copies. Her Alchemy and Conversations With You: The Collection are now available in hard copies on her bandcamp.

Sonny Sev's upcoming project Localz Only is getting a slight change. Originally it was only supposed to be STiM producing the entire project but Sev's vision has changed and he now accept production from other producers.

#OGTMUSIC

JG features his daughter Braelyn on his new track "Retarded Ass Bars".





Did you sneeze? "Bless You" is the newest track from Sonny Sev. Sev spits over production from STiM as both continue to build their emcee/producer relationship. Make sure to take advantage of the free download below.





Vic Virtuoso is next up in the BARS series. The BARS series presented by Organized Threat is designed to focus the spotlight on the lyrics of the OGT emcees. This is an ingenious idea that I hope they will carry on consistently for as long as possible. Even if they need to do the same emcee twice! It doesn't matter! Vic Virtuoso brilliantly utilizes bilingual wordplay in his session for the BARS series. Here is "Fresh Off The Boat" from one of Organized Threat's newest addition to the roster.

With Von Poe VII recently linking up with Papa J. Ruiz in Colorado, it is possible that Papa J. Ruiz is next.



You may be asking yourself why my OGT Weekly was published a bit later than usual. Well I've just been in one of those ruts as a writer. More as a blogger/journalist because I haven't been publishing on the other website I write for either. I have been doing more of my personal writing which is what I've been wanting to focus on lately. I know you enjoyed this OGT Weekly so I don't have to hope that you did. Make sure to check it over a second or third time and share with a friend. If you don't like a person, send this to them, too. You guys will be friends after. Trust me.

PAPA J. RUIZ X VON POE VII #LEGACY. I'm telling you, me and @PapaJRuiz taking no prisoners from here on. #BODYEM pic.twitter.com/Quit4amhsm

The Purity of Love and War/Carousel/Exclusive News from JG

#OGTWeekly Exclusive News: JG and Razor are in the "early stages" of a joint album. On top of JG working with Razor, Chateau Des Dieux (JG+Vida Killz) have also begun to work on their next album. You can listen to the first Chateau Des Dieux album by clicking here.

This is Fiasco and I am really excited to supply you with a new OGT Weekly. Can't you tell by my face?

Papa J. Ruiz
A very happy birthday to Papa J. Ruiz! Make sure you head to PapaJRuiz.com to grab his music and merch!

Feel great on my Born Day nothing but positive vibes smoked out cars great food and ORGANIZED THREAT music #iii
— HR1955 3/25 (@PapaJRuiz) February 27, 2015

Get ready for Papa J. Ruiz's HR-1955 album with the official album teaser. It is set for a March 25, 2015 release.

Vida Killz

Vida Killz has officially released her short story collection Thoughts While Dreaming: Collection 1. I'm looking forward to picking this up to explore more of Vida Killz' literature via her short stories.

If you were unaware, Vida Killz has commenced selling hardcopies of Negative Space again which are available by clicking here.

Three New OGT Albums

The Purity of Love and War by Von Poe VII

Von Poe VII doesn't waste anytime relaying powerful words in The Purity of Love and War. "Basquiat" commences the album and Von Poe VII makes tremendous use of words in this track. It's eye-opening jaw-dropping poetry. The ending skit on "Basquiat" featuring Jay Z gives you an idea of what the album is about.

It is also important to note that Poe has included 5 tracks that can also be found on his previous albums VONPOEVII and ONLY GODZ RELATE. I really like that idea because if new listeners like those tracks (for example, "Cowboy Bebop") they will go back to those albums. Basically it's a great way to still promote those albums while at the same time focusing on the new one.

Although it is hinted in "Basquiat" that the album is about love and war on the road to success I also feel that it is the love and war that Poe has experienced since being in the Hip-hop scene. He has made a lot of relationships within and outside Organized Threat and I believe that the The Buttress and Papa J. Ruiz solo's represent the "love" experience. As far as the "war" experience, Poe isn't shy in relaying his tenet of the current state of the rap game and his experiences with former Organized Threat members and those who tried to beef with the threat.

As far as putting focus on single tracks I appreciate the contrast between the tone of production and tone of Poe's voice in "Dante's inferno". The insertion of previous tracks such as "Phlegmatic" also remind me of my favorite lines from Poe such as the following "And my word is bond but, they don't understand it / so now I'm posted up in the garden with 2 leprechauns and a bandit". To this day I still don't understand what the garden, leprechauns, and bandit are supposed to represent and it doesn't bother me. It just fascinates me to keep thinking about what it could mean and those words strung together make prevent the track from being scant in poetry.

Words that are evoked when listening to The Purity of Love and War; poetry, frustration, genuine, yearning for something more (maybe recognition).

Samples Of Fire by Joogy Jugg

This 15 track beat tape from the Organized Threat producer Joogy Jugg features an array of sounds. All rappers are welcome to utilize these beats to their advantage. All we ask is that you give the proper credit to Joogy Jugg. Organized Threat is not only a movement but a family. That comes into play when Joogy allows Rellim to get a slot on his tape with "Jazz Work". Tracks like "Blue Flame, "THinkHiR", "Du Wop", "Sunlight", and "Cruising U.S.A." are some of my favorite tracks and justify Joogy Jugg's usage of the title Samples Of Fire. 

Before You Enter; The Ghost Room by Xican Brown

Xican Brown is one of the newest additions to the Organized Threat roster. Although we have seen his visual "God's Gravedigga" we still didn't know too much about him. His new album Before You Enter; The Ghost Room gives us more insight on his creative mind and who he is as an artist. Tracks like "Holy Water" and "Change for 20 Cents" are tracks you really do not want to miss. Live From The Ghost Room will be Xican Brown's next album.


New OGT Audio

JG releases the last single off his upcoming Stay Still album with "Strict" featuring Vida Killz


Jasson C goes on a lyrically onslaught in his new sound "OG Diablo".





New OGT Visual

Yarah Bravo bilingually expresses herself in her new visual "Carousel".


Von Poe VII starts the release of visuals for The Purity of Love and War with "Basquiat". This is also his first visual of 2015.

Words From Fiasco

There is your new OGT Weekly! To make sure you have everything down pact, check it over a second time. If you don't know how to introduce somebody to Organized Threat, this OGT Weekly will get the job done. I'm not going to hope you enjoyed this OGT Weekly because I know you did. I composed it.

New Music And Very Exclusive News In This Edition Of The OGT Weekly!

Quick health update; Tiffany is a strong survivor of a viscous cold and it's been almost a week since Razor was hospitalized for "internal problems". According to their social media accounts, both seem to be doing just fine. :)

Wow! There's a lot to cover in this edition of the OGT Weekly! You will be drenched in new music including a track from Papa J. Ruiz and some news that will dry you off. Wow that was corny.

I am FiascoTheGod and I am sitting behind my laptop fully clothed and alive so I can supply you with the latest OGT Weekly.

---
One great thing (among many others) about reading the OGT Weekly is that you receive news you won't be able to find on any of the social media accounts of ANY of the OGT artists. That's why it's very important to check in on the OGT Weekly every time it's published.

#EXCLUSIVENEWS: Expect a "B Sides" EP from Vida Killz VERY SOON. Vida Killz has cut 13 tracks from her upcoming album Daydreams And Nightmares and has chosen 7 of those tracks to be part of this special project. Although they may be seen as the ones that didn't make it, knowing that they are coming from Vida Killz they are sure to be packed with a ton of real emotion.

Organized Threat producer Joogy Jugg will also be releasing a beat tape by mid February. Make sure to follow Joogy on Twitter by clicking here to obtain further updates.
---

#JUSTRELEASED: Papa J. Ruiz continues to execute the story of his life through music perfectly. "$700 Bail Fee" produced by StreetWise is Ruiz's newest release and in under 2 minutes he has us wanting HR-1955 RIGHT NOW! "$700 Bail Fee" will not be on his upcoming album HR-1955 (set for a 3/15/15 release) but, make sure to take advantage of the free download below.



#BREAKINGNEWS: Von Poe VII will be releasing a new EP! The title and cover art alone is poetry in itself. What it contains inside is "limitless". You should expect this EP later tonight or tomorrow. If it doesn't happen on either of those days just know that it's "coming soon".  (You can still expect a Von Poe VII album in 2016.)

#ComingSoon: The Purity of Love and War... #VILLAIN pic.twitter.com/k9XtBB6r5a
— CHAD A. MARSHALL (@VonPoeVII) January 21, 2015

Not only is Von Poe VII releasing new music but, he has placed his photography on the back of iPhone 4 cases. There are only limited amounts so click here to see what they look like! Even if you don't have an iPhone 4, why wouldn't you get it? 1. Limited quantity = rare 2. Von Poe VII's photography on the back of it = super rare. So you'll basically have an ultra rare iPhone 4 case.

Here is the latest Organized Threat mix that was put together by OGT producer Endure One. This is a great way to be re-introduced to some tracks and a quick and easy way to introduce the movement to a friend.




Ruman instantaneously transforms a horrific day into a teriffic day in his new sound "Posh Whips And Shrimp Dishes". I even learned a new word in a track Ruman didn't say one word in! #Posh.




Ruman also adds a new sound to his catalog with "Marvin".

Within 24 hours (earlier this month) Rellim creates and releases a track entitled "The Tree That Weeps With Me". It's poetry from the title to the last second of the track.

#NEW: Ruman and Rellim team up to bring to you "Rhythms & Reefers"

Formerly known as EmptySev, Sonny Sev releases his first track "Finessed".

One of the newest members Koolz One is back with a new joint entitled "Hold The Keys".



The official DJ for Organized Threat, DJ Starchild has released a video displaying his skills. Make sure to check out the video below.



And to close here are some powerful words from the rising OGT star Papa J. Ruiz.

To kill a man is to carry his soul on your back for the rest of your existence

There is your latest OGT Weekly composed by me, FiascoTheGod. Yes I am still fully clothed. I know there is a lot of information and music to absorb in this edition so make sure you take a second look. Do whatever it takes to enjoy this weekend. I'm sure you deserve it.

#BREAKINGNEWS: Starting Januay 2015 Organized Threat will begin the process of their group album. The album is also scheduled for a late 2015/early 2016 release. To prove that I am not lying, I have strategically placed the official tweet below.

#QUICKTHOUGHT: As a fan/listener/follower for Organized Threat looking in from the outside, one thing does concern me about the process of this album. That one thing is the loyalty of members. I'm not questioning the loyalty of anybody right now in the group but, we've seen a fair share of members leave the camp this year. Anything can really happen in a year with any one current member. Goals change. Mindsets change. It happens. Imagine what would happen if the members from the begging of this year all decided to work on the album this year? It would be ruined. But, I am assuming Von Poe VII used his good judgement and does not question the loyalty of the current members of Organized Threat. With that being said, this will be the very first Organized Threat album. The album will mean so much more if everyone who is on the first one is on the last.

Song Of The Blog: Play JMega The God's  "Veterans Day" while reading up on the latest Organized Threat news.

Welcome to my dungeon. This what you waited on. This what you waited on. This is FiascoTheGod and I am currently alive to supply you with the latest Organized Threat news.



I can feel it my soul



When Poe laces up and puts on his grill you know the visual is about to be fire. Even though this is Poe's visual he was able to balance the attention and put the appropriate amount of focus on the dancer Reginald Anthony Webber Jr. The scenes of Webber dancing with the pillars surrounding him, may be the best scenes Chad A. Marshall (Von Poe VII) has ever shot. "Cowboy Bebop" is produced by Ruman and can be located on Von Poe VII's album ONLY GODZ RELATE.


Did You Know This About The Threat? 

As I continue to not only be a blogger for Organized Threat but, as a fan as well, I always want to learn more about them. I was able to get in contact with Von Poe VII and have him send me five facts about Organized Threat. Here are 2 of those 5 facts below. The 5th fact was a question I came up with on my own because it's something I've been wondering about. So I crushed my wonder and asked the question. I also urge you to go read the rest of the facts because I also included a lot of dope music by Organized Threat, too.

2. Organized Threat was started in 2006 by Chad A. Marshall and a Spanish teacher from his Highschool, Chad A. Marshall is the only original member still in the camp (if you don’t include the reboot of the group that happened in 2012).

Fact #5 is one that I was personally interested in so I had to make sure I obtained the story behind this fact. A sample of a gentleman saying “Organized Threat is the future” can be found on a couple of OGT tracks. This is how it happened.

5. Von Poe VII said, “the bum sample came from a trip to Vegas while filming “Black Pyramid”. He wanted a cig and I told him only if he said OGT on camera. I felt it was cheesy for an MC in the camp to say it. Kinda bias you know? But a bum on the street? Golden”.

Reality Check



Razor accurately translated the ruthless feeling in the track to the visual with his manifestation of his actions in this visual directed by Chad A. Marshall. This track and more can be found on Razor's album F.A.I.T.H. Although this album is dope, according to Poe, we can expect even better on Razor's next project.

Actually, this new @ThisIsRAZOR project is sounding disgustingly dope. Goddamn, we finally getting that RAZOR we've been waiting for.

More Music From The Threat

EmptySev dropped a new track entitled "Gas Chamberz". Faces must have really went into a grimey no holds barred mind state to produce this beat. It is currently getting daily rotation in my playlist and it ranks right next to my other favorite track by him "Bloody Sabre".



Jasson C blesses us with his first single "Dolphins (Tom Hanks)" off his upcoming album. We witness a focused (as always) Jasson C on this track who's looking to get awards like Tom Hanks. If you ain't doing it big don't do it at all!

Vida Killz Destructs and Rebuilds in order to take charge and lead in her latest EP Destruction: Rebirth of Self. This is a collaboration effort with producer GRIEF78 and this is their last installment to their trilogy.

Organized Threat has also this Organized Threat Mix series. There have been two volumes released so far. The first one was composed by Rellim and the second by Ruman. Both feature several quality tracks from a few artists from the camp. I really think this is a good way to get someone into Organized Threat. If you know someone who hasn't heard of Organized Threat yet, send them these two mixes. And if you're really friendly, show a random person at your local grocery store.

OGT Mix Vol. 1 by Rellim



OGT Mix Vol. 2 by Ruman

JG has released a real piece of art in "The Prologue EP". This is his first installment in his Stay Still series. JG says,“The concept for the upcoming Stay Still is that the world has essentially ended. And the tracks take you through the types of people and feelings that someone in a post apocalyptic world would see/feel. But it’s so far removed from the actual event that the event itself lies in some folklore grey area”. What really impresses me about this project is JG's voice and delivery. I don't know how to explain it in a rational matter. His delivery is just smooth and uncracked. Almost like there are no faults. JG really raps his ass off in this project and I honestly think he has potential star power. Click here to listen.

If JG has one role (either MC or producer) I would really like to hear him spit a verse and see how he matches up with the other elite MCs of Organized Threat.

Limited Edition Posters!

Papa J. Ruiz has released limited edition HR 1955 posters up for sale on his bandcamp. There are only 4 left so if it's something you are unsure of getting I say go for it! You don't want to have any regrets later on. In order to prevent your potential regret, click here to purchase the limited edition posters.

#SECONDBREAKINGNEWS: Organized Threat officially welcomes new member Koolz One.



Koolz One spits about the Hip-hop he grew up on and that's what makes this the perfect introduction. With a new artist in the camp brings new opportunities for in house collabs and I am looking forward to that.

FiascoTheGod closes his blog with a few words. He won't see you again for a whole month!

Before I conclude this OGT Weekly, I want to give a quick belated birthday shout out to DJ Starchild!

Befive you carry on with your activities as a human being take a second look at the blog and share it with someone! If you're not a human being and you're able to read this, you're cool as fuck. We should chill sometime. Hit me up.

#TrailerTrash: Recognized as a producer with Organized Threat, Rellim continues to explore his abilities as an MC in his latest album Trailer Trash. Although I believe Rellim has some kinks to workout as an MC, this project should not go unnoticed by Organized Threat fans. We know Rellim for his ability to produce sounds that Organized Threat poets/MCs are able to go off on but, now we literally hear from him. His experiences. His struggles. Here is Trailer Trash.

IM THE MOTHAFUCKIN GREATEST
— Sonny Dillinger (@sevenxempty) August 20, 2014

[WWU]

HELLO OGT FANS AND FANATICS, FRIENDS AND FOES !

Reunited and it feels so good minions! Welcome once again to this wonderful moment we have together. I'm sure you all know by now, I fucking love to talk about how much it matters to stand up and take action for what we believe in, whatever that may be. I also love to fucking talk about how important it is to mobilize and organize our voices in unison. I mean come on fuckers, lets face it; we all human; we all have the same internal organs; we all need water to drink and food to eat; we all need places to defecate. We may all be rolling along in different directions and at different speeds, but its our hearts and minds that lead us, and God knows we have that in common. Some though, they don't believe, they've lost hope and gone astray. They have been poisoned by doubt and retreat to solitude in resentment looking deep within themselves to find a pot of gold that was never placed. The goose couldn't lay the golden egg alone and loneliness isn't worth one's weight in gold. But with the pressure of all our voices united as one we can create diamonds; we can motivate and cultivate change. BECAUSE LETS FACE IT PEOPLE! Everyday we don't take a stand for what we believe in, we are letting corporate America rape us and we are tacitly consenting to support what they stand for. When you fill up your car with gas you're supporting big oil companies like Chevron who pollute the amazon by dumping their leftover waste water into its pristine rivers. When you go to Walmart and buy yourself some fucking toothpaste you're supporting the import of tuna caught illegally through bottom trolling fishing methods that unnecessarily kills tens of thousands of sea turtles every year. The list goes on and on but the truth is blatant; If you don't stand up for something you believe in, you'll be standing for a bunch of unnecessary bullshit you didn't even really know you were standing for. And the only way to change this crazy thing called life is by standing together, being loud and being proud. Organized Threat stands loud and proud, and overall for the greater good and love of mankind. There's a certain kinda power that comes with numbers, we all know this. So don't be ignorant, perhaps stand with us, or at least stand for something. Or else you'll stand for nothing but bullshit.

Paradox. Read The Latest Organized Threat News Composed By FiascoTheGod. Paradox.

This is FiascoTheGod and I am here to supply you with the latest Organized Threat news.

"They say I drink too much but they don't think enough so who's further?" - EmptySev. Song: "Believe You Me". Album: "SEVEN EMPTY"

Celebrate Life & Death In "Paradox"

As promised, Von Poe VII has dropped a visual for "Paradox" which is beautifully produced by Rellim. Although "Paradox" can elicit the feelings of laid back, calm, and chill, through it's SOUND, the lyrics if listened to carefully over and over again you can sense at times a heartless and frustrated Von Poe VII. That in itself is indeed a paradox. Sound vs context of lyrics. The part of the hook when Von Poe VII spits "Searching for the fame got me lost inside the game" can also be seen as a paradox. Looking at the rap game today, some rappers who lack heart and creativity seem to be the ones being famous. Why is it difficult for Von Poe VII to reach fame when he is one of the MC's/poets who have heart and creativity? (Not implying that's all that it takes to become famous). The rap game is a paradox. Von Poe VII does not seem to stress this as he turns to celebrate life and death in his visual. Yes, there is another paradox. The poetic lyrics by Von Poe VII including the way they are delivered and the poetic sound birthed by Rellim, receive a very poetic visual. "Paradox" can be located on the "Von Poe VII" album.

Expect a video dropping on May 31st. Von Poe VII informs us of this in a very poetic tweet.

JG Writes And Produces His New Track "The Sacrifice"

JG just dropped some serious heat! Check out his latest sound entitled "The Sacrifice". He justifies his egotistical approach with an impressive rhyme scheme and confident delivery. This is from his forthcoming project entitled "Stay Still".

THA F.O.R.M.U.L.A. Provides A Piece Of Tranquility

THA F.O.R.M.U.L.A. has a new release entitled "Tranquil Sunday". He is very straight forward in this track as what you read in the the title is what you absorb through your listening session. This is probably the perfect song to listen to on a Sunday, the day after a hangover. :) And listening to this during church could probably be the worst decision of your life. Unless you're an atheist. Well, then why are you in church anyway?

Devour Show Coming Up

On May 23rd Devour will be performing in North Hollywood, California. Organized Threat members DJ Starchild and Razor will also be a part of the show. Click here to view the flyer for more details.

"My circle getting smaller as my life goes on" - Von Poe VII, City After Hours

This line spit by Von Poe VII on his latest album ONLY GODZ RELATE had me thinking about my own circle. In contrast, my "circle" has actually grew within the past year. In a way it is a surprising way for me to admit this due to my playlist being filled with Hip hop songs and I am sure everyone of those MCs in my playlist have said that their group of friends diminished over time. This is not to say that because a lot of MCs have said this before, that it takes away the value of the line nor the credibility that Von Poe VII has as a poet. So the fact that I have listened to such words time and time again, I would think that my life would resemble that part of being a MC. Because lets be honest, some fans want to live like their favorite music artist(s) in at least one way. Not that it would make sense for me to consciously push people away in order for me to hold together the faction of me and my two other friends but, perhaps in an unconscious way. Unconsciously me wanting to live one way or another like a Hip hop MC. I'm very pleased to realize that my "circle" has grown over the past year. These people have supplied me with intriguing conversations and countless laughs. I have yet to go through a hardship over the past year but, if I do, I have a good feeling that they will be there. Having a small group of friends does not seem to be for me.

I am FiascoTheGod and I am alive to supply you with the latest Organized Threat news.

Expect New Video(s) Soon

Both Devour and Von Poe VII tweeted about upcoming videos. Von Poe VII tweeted "New visuals coming soon man, can't say much outside of that. - VII". Devour tweeted today asking us if we are ready for a new video. It is not known if their tweets are related so we will have to wait and see.

Yarah And Vida Tease You

Yarah Bravo and Vida Killz are on the verge of releasing new projects. Yarah Bravo's EP entitled Love Is The Movement is scheduled to be released tomorrow and she released a teaser for it which can be viewed by clicking here. Vida Killz is currently working on her LP entitled Daydreams And Nightmares and that is scheduled for a June 2014 release. She has released a snippet for one of those tracks on the album entitled Remember. Click here to listen to the 16 second snippet.

Vida Killz has also released Lady Death Pt. IV which will also be on Daydreams And Nightmares.

It's On Buddy!!!

THA F.O.R.M.U.L.A. has composed and released a new sound that he calls It's On... When I read the title I am confronted with the thoughts of fighting and aggressiveness. THA F.O.R.M.U.L.A. throws me off balance when the sound is actually played. Of course I didn't expect for him to come out with an aggressive sound, he seems like a very peaceful guy. But, if you (THA F.O.R.M.U.L.A.) ever have that moment when you need to let out some aggression, through music, go for it!!! Depending on your initial thoughts when you read the title, THA F.O.R.M.U.L.A. does showcase contrast. It's On.. is for sale and you can contact him at fequalsmc@gmail.com.

May 3rd Seven Empty Will Be Released

Don't forget that EmptySev will be releasing his album Seven Empty on May 3rd. EmptySev pours out a lot of knowledge about the album in my interview with him so check that out by clicking here. Be prepared before the album gets released!

An Organized Conclusion

Now that I have supplied you human beings with the latest Organized Threat news, it is time for me to enter into a slumber. Before you enter yours, make sure to read over the blog at least one more time in order to fully grasp the news and music you have been dealt. Even Santa Claus checks his list twice. Oh, and you can consider me, FiascoTheGod, your savior.

Can You Handle The Knowledge?

It's been a week since VON POE VII released ONLY GODZ RELATE. Unsurprisingly people are still talking about it on social media, and I learn something new with each listen, whether that be a historical fact or a line I didn't previously catch.

In order to survive in the Hip-hop environment, you have to keep up with the current sound. And when an artist does this, it is very important the he or she does not compromise their lyrics and subject matter. Matching the current sound of Hip-hop is not something I would see Poetic Death worry about. And I am sure he didn't worry about it while creating this project because he has stated many times before that he creates music only for himself. If matching the current sound of Hip-hop was a concern to him, then cool, I don't blame him. But, I guess if he was concerned about  matching the current sound of Hip-hop that doesn't necessarily  mean that he didn't create that song for himself. And what is the current sound of Hip-hop? Dammit I just got a headache. I'll say that trap beats are one of the current sounds of Hip-hop. The whole point of this was for me to surface to attention the track Styles and Ranks on ONLY GODZ RELATE. The sound of this track as well as new flow from the God was definitely new to VON POE VII listeners. When I listened to it for the first, second, and beyond times, one thought came to my mind. If there is one track on this album that I would have to present to somebody to make them want to listen to more of him, it would be Styles And Ranks (if there two others it would have to be THE VILLAIN and The Reign of VII). Why would I have them listen to Styles And Ranks? Well there is just that thought in my head that having them listen to one of his more poetic, dark, and complex sounding sounds,  would be a fail to make them intrigued in more of his poetry/music. There has been a resurgence of demand from fans to want organic and complex lyricism in Hip-hop but damn, I just don't think they are ready for VON POE VII. I don't want to gas him up or seem like a fanboy that won't hop off his nuts but damn, it's just my honest opinion. Compare the knowledge and mythical references that Poetic Death makes to some of the biggest names in Hip-hop right now. No one comes close.

So what was the point of all of that? I don't know. It's just something that is on my mind while composing this blog. Maybe I'll look at this tomorrow and think that what I wrote is completely garbage or maybe my beliefs that I just stated will change. Maybe Poetic Death and others in Organized Threat will disagree with everything I just typed. And I'm okay with that, too.

I am FiascoTheGod and I am alive and prepared to present to you the latest Organized Threat news.

Razor & Sev

Razor contacted EmptySev via Twitter in order to obtain his email address. Razor tweeted "@sevenxempty what's your email fam? Got some new heat for you on my new project ;)". Sev of course responded and supplied him with his email. Let the organizing for a Razor and EmptySev track begin.

Blu Steel

Director Chad A. Marshall (Poetic Death), True Masterz (includes JMega The God), and producer MIGHGAWD all organize to bring to you their latest music video entitled Blu Steel.

EmptySev Faces The Chamber

My interview with EmptySev has been published to Street Khemistry. I designed the interview to focus on his upcoming album SevenEmpty which is scheduled to be released on May 3rd. Although it is what I expected, I appreciate the effort that EmptySev put into answering the questions. Organized Threat fans will really enjoy this interview because EmptySev provides juicy historical information on the project. So if you want to impress your friends with your knowledge of the album that hasn't even been released yet, make sure you check it out. Here is one question followed by the answer, from the interview:

4. Taking a close look at the coverart for this album, I noticed three 7’s in art. The first two are more obvious than the third. The position in which the female is holding the two swords, forms two 7’s. The third 7 which may not be so clear to point out is the way the female is positioned kneeling on the floor. Looking at her upside down, is the third 7. How does the depiction in the artwork properly represent the album that is Seven Empty?

Bro, that album cover holds some history. A couple years ago the homie started doing some modeling and would post her pictures up every once in a while, she had this one picture that was like the dopest shit to me. I meant to ask her if I could use it as artwork for a track I was gonna upload but always forgot to. Now a couple months ago we were just kickin it and I randomly just remembered she used to model and had a picture I liked, so she came over, we searched her laptop for that bitch, I found it, and that was that. I didn't know back then why I liked it so much but now it makes perfect sense, I'm so glad I didn't use it for a fuckin single. haha to be honest I never noticed that 3rd 7 you found, kudos to you. I usually just write 2 sevens on everything since the Sev in EmptySev is short for Seven and serves as the 3rd. so yea, I never looked past the two sword 7's. As far as what it represents, well, when you look it at the cover the first thing you'll probably notice is the light taking over most of the image, I like to think of this album as my first official "enlightened" manifesto. Followed by the naked girl sitting there quite peacefully, representing purity and naturalism. Then you have the swords, I've always been drawn to swords. They give the girl a sense of power, that edge that says "Don't fuck with me though" haha, you know? It sets the perfect mood for whatever I wanna say on this album.

Wrap Up

For those of you that have your Spring break coming to an end, I am a glad to have it concluded with my latest OGT Weekly as well as my interview with EmptySev. After you take a second and third look at the blog in order to absorb my thoughts and the latest OGT news, consider me, FiascoTheGod, your savior.

ONLY GODZ RELATE 4/14/2014

This is FiascoTheGod and I am here to provide the latest Organized Threat scoop.

ONLY GODZ RELATE IS HERE!!!

Well...where do I start? I should start off by stating that I have listened to ONLY GODZ RELATE by VON POE VII/Poetic Death. Although I have done this, I only listened to each song once. For me to proceed by analyzing this album or letting you know my favorite tracks, would be disrespectful. You may think I am being lazy but, am I really? This guy just put in work for the past several months and you expect me to go in depth on a 30 track album? No. It's not going to happen. There are still a few things I would like to shed light on even though I won't be able to go in depth about them. Poetic Death is known to inject historical information in his poetry and indeed he does so in this album, it is very noticeable on the track Road To Kemet where he and the features on the track shed light on the history of Ancient Africans. Not only does VON POE VII aim to assists with bringing knowledge to the forefront of Hip-hop, but he also utilizes an element in Hip-hop that could be argued has been lost. That element is DJ'ing. DJ Starchild provided the cuts on ONLY GODZ RELATE. VON POE VII says that ONLY GODZ RELATE "marks the next chapter to the introduction of Goth Hop / Sludge Hop, a combination of morbid poetry mixed with a desire and strive for a higher level of consciousness and overstanding". ONLY GODZ RELATE indeed continues the "Goth Hop / Sludge Hop" that first began with VON POE VII. To pre-order a copy of ONLY GODZ RELATE and help contribute to the campaign, click here. To check out my exclusive interview with VON POE VII/ Poetic Death, which focuses on ONLY GODZ RELATE click here.

And There Goes The Surprise...Lol. Thanks Sev!

I was trying to keep the interview I set up with EmptySev, a secret from my Street Khemistry team. I was keeping it a secret just for the simple fact I wanted it to be a surprise. EmptySev ruined that with this tweet!! "Tried typing up answers for this interview w/ @StreetKhemistry on my phone and my hand got numb as fuck. Haha I'll do it on the PC tomorrow". The interview will focus on his upcoming album SEVENEMPTY and I know the questions that I composed will force EmptySev to provide new and intriguing information not only on the album, but on himself. The album is scheduled to be released on May 3rd.

And It Ends Like This...

There is your latest Organized Threat news! I was thinking about adding in a "Don't Fourget" or a "Random Organized Threat Tweet" (if you have read my previous blogs you'll know how those go) but, I decided to put as much attention on the historic release of ONLY GODZ RELATE. To show your support, leave a comment below that contains some of your favorite lines that can be heard on the album or tweet them to him @VonPoeVII. Once you have done so, you can consider me, FiascoTheGod, your savior.

Support The Threat

This is FiascoTheGod and I am here to supply you with the latest Organized Threat scoop.

Instead of opening up with a lengthy introduction I have decided to get straight to the news. I will challenge myself as a writer to go more in depth with the following two new Organized Threat tracks. 

Wushu Wushu / Happy Birthday Ruman

EmptySev releases a new track entitled Wushu Style, which features Masta Peace and it is produced by Ruman. It is also Ruman's birthday today! Happy Birthday! I did some brief research on what Wushu is and it is a Chinese fighting style. Of course, looking at the cover art chosen by EmptySev to represent this tack should have led me to believe that it had to do with a fighting style. EmptySev opens the track with the following lines "Every man for them self, huh? / That's what they say / Got you caught up in a phase that's gonna last til end of days / too stubborn, to recognize we're all the same particle / I'm part the God you working for, no Yeezy on the HOVAboard / I'm gliding on my jiggy shit." These lines are not only what EmptySev believes in, but it is what Organized Threat stands for. Coincidentally that is exactly the first line on homepage of their (Organized Threat) website, "The Movement Is Strong Because We Are Constructed Of Motivated Minds And Seek Unity Amongst Everything Else". EmptySev's utilization of the binary oppositions, Unity and Separation, is a thought provoking introduction to Wushu Style.

The Perfect Instrumental 

THA F.O.R.M.U.L.A. releases a brand new sound that he entitles I'm Not Perfect... There are times when I ponder the question of what it means to be perfect. Without a doubt THA F.O.R.M.U.L.A.'s new sound has allowed me to revisit that question. As human beings, and still not fully aware of our mind and bodies full potential, maybe what we are in the present, is perfect. Maybe the way I am now is perfect, with the potential to get better. That is to say, what I know now, how my body is now, is indeed perfect even though I do not know everything there is to now nor do I have "24 inch pythons" like Hulk Hogan used to have (it was 24, right?). So even though there I have the potential to increase my knowledge and improve myself physically, (which I am currently working on), the way I am now is perfect. And I am not trying to sound corny, because what I just typed reads similar to the phrase "you are perfect just the way you are". Honestly, maybe we are perfect just the way we are at this present state, but, we can reach another level of perfection, with motivation and determination. There are levels of perfection to this ish.
