I'm in search of Victory, she keeps eluding me
If only we can be together momentarily
We can make love and make History
Why won't you visit me? Why won't she visit me?
I’ll be stuck with a sister, her name is Defeat
She gives me agony, so much agony
She brings me so much pain
So much misery
Like missing your last shot and falling to your knees
As the crowd screams for the team
I practiced so hard for this moment
Victory, don’t leave
I know what this means: I'm stuck in this routine
Whole new different day, same old thing
All I've got are dreams no body else can see
Nobody else will believe until I believe in me
Where are you, Victory?
I need you desperately
Not just for the moment, to make History
So now I'm flirting with Death
Hustling like a G
When Victory wasn’t watching
Took chance repeatedly
I met Success
We lived together shortly
Now, Success was like lust, shes good to the touch
She's good for the moment, but shes never enough
Everybody's had her... Shes nothing like V
But Success is all I've got, unfortunately
But now I'm going all around the globe
Looking up and down for V
But something tells me that there's much more to see
Before I get killed or die, because I can't get robbed
So before me success and death ménage
I'm so lost, I gotta find V
We gotta be together to make History
Now, When Victory is mine, She'll taste so sweet
She'll be my trophy wife, she'll be with me
We’ll have a baby who stutters repeatedly
We’ll name him History, he’ll repeat after me
He'll my legacy, son of my hard work, future of my past
Can explain who I be, rate me amongst the greats, either 1, 2, or 3
If I ain't number one then I've failed you, Victory
Ain't in it for the fame, that dies within weeks
Ain't in it for the money, can't take it when you leave
I want to be remembered long after you breathe
Long after I'm gone, long after I breathe
I' leave all I am in the hands of History
That’s my last will, testimony
This is much more than a song, it's a baby shower
I'll be waiting for this hour, when History is ours

Berklee: Summary of My First Semester
- First and foremost, everything at Berklee is 'killin'.' There are no exceptions to this rule. If something is not killin', you wait until someone informs you that it is, indeed, killin'. You are usually obligated to agree. I mean, unless that shit is out.
- Using 'out' depends on the context. You'll know when to use it.
- Nothing ever starts or finishes on time. Except the caf.
- The caf food messes with everyone's digestive tract.
- Yeah, you have to call the cafeteria the 'caf,' the lunch room, and definitely not the cafe. That's what Cafe 939 is for.
- The convocation concert was the only place where I have experienced a near perfect audience clap.
- If I plan to go to sleep before 11PM, I'm most likely are going to sleep around 1AM or 2AM.
- If I plan to wake up at 7:30AM for a 9AM class, I'm most likely getting out of bed around 8:55AM.
- 70 degrees in December? Crazy shit.
- I don't think I ever NEEDED a cell phone, but it is an amazing convenience.
- Most of my phone calls consist of me talking to my mother, anyway.
- "Dubstep is probably the closest thing to jazz our generation has" is the dumbest thing I have heard in my entire life.
- Actually, I take that back. This is: Perfect pitch is a form of autism.
- Speaking of perfect pitch, a lot of first semester student here claims to have it. Oh, and there's one guy that "kind of" has it.
- I thought that 3 to 1 ratio of males to females was wrong after seeing so many women walking around... Until I got into one of my classes. 18 students, only two girls.
- Buddhism is amazing.
- Tendinitis is not.
- Staying up to practice all night is a great feeling. Until you get to that 9AM Ear Training class. On one hand I'm actually on time, but on the other I'm nodding off every 30 seconds.
- Bodega was hard to find.
- The best way to meet people is to go to student concerts and jam sessions. I've met tons of great PEOPLE (not just great musicians) by checking them out in action and then talking afterwards.
- Nah, man. Seriously. Tendinitis is some bullshit.
- Everything happens for a reason. It's up to you to put the pieces together.
- Daddy Yankee, man.
- I don't know, man. He said I wasn't going to make it one semester...
- I've had three home cooked meals in the past four months. And they were, hands down, the best meals I've had here.
- Wally's is a great place to play. And to learn. And to grow. And to get kicked out of.
- My definition of networking isn't taking numbers and emails down, it's friendships. I think they should be one in the same.
- If a guard watches you walk out of 270 and you come back in less than a minute later, they will still ask to see your ID. What the fuck, you just SAW me leave. CHILL.
- Taxi drivers also need to chill. Yeah, man. I know it's after 10PM and there aren't a lot of people out, but there's a stop sign there. Damn.
- I feel bad when I see people in passing and after we say hi they ask "How are you doing?" I almost never get to ask them the same because we're always moving.
- Night Dreamer is one of the dopest songs I have ever heard. Especially in 4.
- You can spend HOURS in the caf.
- Everybody should learn how to vibe. One of the best forms of communication.
- You get so much more done when you don't sleep.
- I really hate being denied a practice room with a piano because people want to practice Ear Training they've been putting off ALL week.
- I'm really going to miss convenient practice rooms with pianos when I move out of these 270 Commonwealth dorms.
- SO MUCH MONEY! I'VE SPENT SO MUCH MONEY HERE! FUUUUUUUUUCK
- I've improved.
- The rating ensemble group I played with last week didn't think so. But it's all good.
- This next semester is about to be so killin'.
- Using 'out' depends on the context. You'll know when to use it.

Can't Quit...
In the last week my tendinitis has gotten so bad that I can't even practice. I almost feel useless. Almost. And because of that almost, I'm obligated to myself to find a way to make this work. I've got dreams to reach, goals to accomplish, and shit to prove. This is crippling, but it's not a dead end.
Everything happens for a reason.

Time Well Spent
Haven't written anything in a while. But I do want to say: I love college Berklee. A lot. It doesn't even feel like school sometimes. I've been here half a semester and I've picked up on so much already. It's almost embarrassing to think of where I was at musically a few months ago...
The one thing I dig more than anything is how this is all helping me become, in my opinion, a better person. Someone who can help others and not just make a difference, but a positive difference. Word.

O'Reily & Limbaugh React to "Off That"
A track from Jay-Z's Blueprint 3 leaked a day or so ago (no, I'm not linking it; it's easy enough to find it yourself). In it, Jay sends a quick line toward some of the heavy hitters on the right-wing side of politics. They obviously have nothing better to do, so they react to a song that is not even supposed to be out (and in record time!). It's got to be against some kind of law to play unreleased music on national television and radio, even as a clip, without being cleared... I don't know... I kind of think Bill should have just done it live, but that's just me.

Jay attacks Bill & Rush and gets... A stupid reference to Otis Redding & an attack on Obama? Really?

Afro-Fresh Impressions
Afro-Fresh Impressions
Released: 08/21/09
Personnel: Syl DuBenion - alto saxophone (all tracks except For My Mother), electric guitar (Format, Run This Town); Aaron DuBenion - trumpet (Rumor)
Afro-Fresh Impressions is my first full length release. I've worked very hard on this, and I decided I wanted people to get a chance to listen to it, so I'm giving it away for free. I'm not concerned with making money right now. I'd rather get to know your opinions.
DOWNLOAD HERE
01 Format
This is the track that I spent the most time with on this release... After a gig at the Buffalo Convention Center,
and after my trip to the Colored Musician's Club, I got home and had the layout for this song etched in my brain
almost immediately. I didn't want to forget it, so I quickly opened up FL Studio and got to work. I had a simple
idea that I worked on for months (I started this in September... Or maybe October). Well, that soon turned to
January... Where I was an idiot and forgot to back up my whole music projects folder when I formatted my computer.
I had a bunch of unfinished stuff, but I was really upset that I lost this. That night, I remade the song and
now it felt like it flowed better. I worked and worked and worked.... But I still couldn't get a melody for it.
Come May, I finally found an idea and set it down. I had finished the song and it sounded great. And then... I lost
it AGAIN in another format of my computer. This time I was pissed, because I had way more stuff for this album.
I used a program to recover everything I lost, and I don't know how, but THIS song was the ONLY music file that
came out perfect with no missing parts or chopped up sound bytes. It is aptly titled Format because... Well, take a
guess.
02 Room for Improvement
Room for Improvement has become my new favorite term... It's a room that can never be filled and it only gets
better when you put more into it. I got the term from Drake's first mixtape. That mixtape is the reason I started
listening to hip-hop again. He's an amazing man, and he's been a real impact on my life. I discovered the mixtape
in 2007, but I had known he was a rapper since at least 2005... Now that everyone is on his dick, err, I mean...
Now that everyone loves him, he's finally going to start getting the attention he's deserved for over three years.
I'm using an instrumental I made of Amerie's "Can We Go" featuring Carl Thomas from her second album, "Touch."
03 Rewind That
To be honest, I've only been listening to Christian Scott for a year but his music and the way he carries himself
has influenced me almost as much as Drake has. I also have to admit... The first time I listened to Rewind That
(the album), I thought it was boring and flat. That is probably because I listened to Anthem first and it blew me
away. I visited his site one day in March or February and Rewind That (the song) was playing... And I didn't
remember it being that dope. So I decided to remake the song so I could get down with it. Oh uh... I relistened to
the album and it was nothing like I remembered. Amazing, and worthy of the Grammy nomination.
04 Why Are You So Mean Today, Syl?
One of my friends thought I was purposely making fun of something he liked (you know, I probably was). He coined
the phrase "Why are you so mean today, Syl?" and I just laughed. So other people started using it, and I turned
it into a song title. The melody (played by the piano) came to me a few different times, and I thought about using
it as just a pattern to incorporate into solos. Then one night after a very long rehearsal at the Colored Musicians
Club, I decided to turn it into a song and still do the former.
05 Run This Town
Yes, a cover of a hip-hop song. I heard it a day after it came out and that night I worked on the track. Finished
the whole thing in a day. The song is powerful... And I like the line "Fuck the other side, they jealous / We got
a banquet full of ladies, they got a table full of fellas (EEEWWWWWW!)." I don't run this town called Buffalo,
but I'm going to be coming back in three to five years to claim ownership.
06 Instant Happy
I have a really cool friend who would draw me pictures in out 8th period study hall. She's so very sweet and she's
definitely someone I'm never going to forget. One of the pictures she drew was of a robot that said "I'm no
instant happy!" Well, this song is dedicated to her. She's one of instant happies. The melody with the sine wave
is actually something I picked up from one of the scene change themes on Fresh Prince. From season four. Yes, I
watch FP way too much.
07 Suspense
This song. A remix of a Mega Man 9 tune of the same name. I had the idea in my head for a little bit before I laid
it down in FL Studio. I finished it in about six or seven hours. I'm really happy with the way it turned out, bad
recording aside. I uploaded it on my Myspace right away, which is good... Since I also lost this in the first
format. It took forever for me to figure out how to get it OFF of Myspace (I couldn't download it, they changed
something about that feature). I had to basically steal a song from my own Myspace. Feels good, man.
08 Rumor feat. Aaron DuBenion
Yes. My little brother, Aaron. Trumpeter. Came through and only took two takes on his solo. We were in a
competition in February and one of the contestants asked us to make a song together. She said we were really great
and she said we should work together on more things. Well, somehow I made it happen... So this kind of fufills her
request. This is dedicated to her. This song was originally written by Matt Stevens for Christian Scott's band.
09 For My Mother
A track from "The Love Movement" by A Tribe Called Quest. Their last album, actually... It's originally titled
"4 Moms," but I didn't like that. Thought it was a tacky name... But yeah. Dedicated to my mother.
10 Blues' Theme
My favorite song ever to play. Proto Man / Blues' whistle from Mega Man 3. It's become his trademark. I recall
some of the main themes of some other songs on this release (Rewind That / Why Are You SO Mean Today, Syl?). I
just had a lot of fun with this. I hope you enjoy it.
This was a tiring process, to be honest. Probably because of the formats, but whatever. This is me up until now.
I won't stop growing and succeeding, I want to become better and better. For no one other than myself.
Thanks for listening.

The 13th Amendment is Some Bullshit
Section 1. Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.
Section 2. Congress shall have the power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.
The thirteenth amendment of the United States Constitution promises the abolition of slavery. Under a certain condition. If you are ever convicted of a crime, it has then become legal for you to be punished as a slave. I'm not about to sit here and write a fucking dissertation, I've got things to do. But I think it's amazing how many people overlook this.
I'm not above that, either. I was listening to a recording of a Christian Scott concert from April that had him explain that very bluntly to me. In fact, I felt a little bad when he said "Oh, so we live in this country, but we don't know the rules, huh?" He was right, though. A lot of people are ignorant to the weasel ways laws can work against people.
It's easy for me to say "This will never happen to me," but millions of people are wrongly convicted of bullshit charges everyday, and being young and black in this country just throws me in a demographic that tells me I'm not going to have my life any other way. I'm saying this all before I get responses like "Well, the government wouldn't let something like that happen," or "You're being hysterical." Until I'm treated as an equal, I'd rather not look at it any other way.
This isn't just about black people, or minorities in general, though. People lose too many rights when they are convicted... Losing control of your life should not be something to be taken away so easily.

Man, life can get all up in your ass, baby
You better work it out
Let me tell you what it's all about
Our skin's not considered equal
A meteor has more right than my people

Special
There are requirements to be an admirer
But still the new version of Syl needa a Nia or Tyra
So we can be Beyoncé & Jay-Z
I told you I'm careful with my heart girl, many have played me
Or maybe its karma?
They say he's a charmer
I'm halfway to a knight so i stay in the armor
I'm fire on the move, attire looking smooth
I'm not perfect but I've got the desire to improve
I'm special
Like kids in a graduating class having more trouble than others when adding basic math
I need you to be special like rebated coupon
Double O top secret agents with suits on
Something so deep it'll drown me
I'm really a nice dude, I remove any drama surrounding me
On your end it's simple, all you have to do...
Give me no reason for other lovers after you

Kaori Kobayashi - Sunshine
The comments are all horny guys swooning over a pretty girl playing a saxophone. I need to remember to keep the comments hidden on Youtube...
Anyway, I've been looking into jazz from other counrties for about a year. I've noticed in Japan that they have a really big following for fusion and bebop. Conflicting styles, but they do both so well. This song's melody sounds like something from the intro or ending to an anime, so maybe that's why I really like it. Either way, it's cool. It's almost impossible to find stuff of hers (or other Japanese artists who aren't Hiromi) without having to import it from Japan. Youtube will have to do until I have some money...

A Special Note From Kenneth Gorelick?
About a year and a half ago, I found out Kenny G was considered being inducted into the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame. I couldn't believe it, so I researched it. I left a comment on a site that gave a few details. In retrospect, I was a bit brash, but I do not apologize for what I said. I returned to see that Kenny left a message. I don't really have any kind of reply, but here it is:
Look man, thanks for the tip. I'd rather learn from insults than ignore what everyone says, and because you are just a kid, I'd rather not fight with you.
To clarify some things they do use reverb, but what about all my performances? I don't then, because I am an amazing saxophonist.
Letting me in for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame was a bit weird, so I'm saying right now, I agree about what everyone says about me.
Yes, if you believe you are better than me, than I will quit forever. However I advise people that I am amazing so if don't want to be embarrased, don't challenge me.
