Discography: in random order...

Urban Avant Garde: Live at the Nuyorican Poets Cafe © 2001 Canhead Records
This is actually the first official album release you'll hear my voice on. In 2000 I was invited to a live taping by Spoken Word artist Tantra, not knowing that I'd not only end up on stage performing pieces ,but that I'd ultimately be included on the LP. A great experience it was. And the album release later that year was even greater (aside from a few lil issues at the venue in Brooklyn). Now that I'm actually writing up these descriptions in this discography, it's funny how I've remembered something I haven't really thought since it occured. Oh I know I'm giving you 5 years of music, you won't be downloading any of me stage from this web. You'd have to check with Canhead Records for that.
Journal: An Eklektik Journey © 2001 Eklektic Gardens
I'd come a long way from shakey poem reads at Harlems Sugar Shack, to becoming a regular host of my own venues and participant in countless Poetry and Hiphop shows throughout the Tri State area. Perhaps, it was time to compile pieces recorded during my first year of performing when I was brand new to entertaining and looking forward to each next event. I put together this album with, the idea that I actually lived in two worlds. One of straight up Boom Bap Hiphop and one of accapella speak on reverbless mics. I created this, my first official album with the thought of, 'I don't wanna make a Hiphop album'. 'I don't wanna make a poetry album'. I just want to make an album.

The S.Carson Mixtape Vol. 1: The Hidden Diaries of S.Carson 2001
Bad thing about this is I have no cover to display. You can download the full zip. Or click here for the index of individual tracks. My personal favorites are, 'Funeral For A Friend' ( R.I.P. Ross. He loved comic books.) Hoofman Koos ; & Call Me Mingus...
The S.Carson Mixtape Vol. 2 - Hilal Beats 2002
I learned a whole lot in a reletively short time about how hard it is to put together a promotional mixedtape. Especially when you put up all the money yourself. I learned my lesson. Not to say I wouldn't continue making mixtapes, but I knew much better what I would be dealing with after the first experience. Anyway, I created a mix of known and unkwon artist. 14 unsigned guys on a cd. Since mixtapes ultimately have become filled with major label artist with either written 'freestyles' or tracks that are on their albums. You could easily in this day compile these songs on your own without some dude yelling his name through out the cd. Here's a few tracks you'll only hear here. 1. Bonafide Live 2. The Breakdown: Nixx P and Conscious 3. Twilight Zone: Crooked Scholar & Thinker Produced by Conscious 4. Devious Method: Conscious, Thinker, Crooked Scholar & Tzo.
Pagan: 1st Movement 1968 © 2001-2002;2004 Eklektic Gardens
I'm sure I don't have to tell you about how much your second album gets scrutinized, especially if the first does well. Well I can honestly tell you that I've heard the gambit of responses anyone could get for dropping this my second album. This, like every record I create, is totally different from it's predecessor. Even the idea of me deciding to label Pagan an adult alternative hiphop album is a part of the madness that sourrounds the whole concept behind what this album means. The responses I've gotten over the years have been more then interesting and for the most part very direct. Regardless if liked or not listeners always relay a message of this is definitley unlike anything I've heard before. Then there's the I can't pinpoint it, but er uh on this track are you rhyming or is it more like spoken word? My answer has always been a question. Do you like it? The response is yeah. I simply say, Now. Does it matter ?

Pagan: 1st Movement 1968 has been surfacing on various digital channels and avaliable currenlty through a long list of providers that I will not list here. But you can click on the buy link at the top of the page to purchase it on intunes and the banner below the audio purchase links, lists a few of the other digital channels the album is available on if you have a preferance other then itunes. But Of course you get a free song from the album. Download Basketball Jones here. The rest you gottah pay for.I have to eat you know.

Vinyl Destination © 2003-2004 Eklektic Gardens Album Art: Conscious
Crate diggin, choppin samples, playin tunes, spinning history and memories now rediscovered after a solitary, sentence in a vault. The forgotten has been brought back into mind in the present. Con-versations are being held about these sounds that have aged in darkness, now timeless, when brought into the light. 13 tracks. 10 instrumentals. 3 tracks accompanied by the vocals of one artist by the name of Conscious. Take a digital journey through a soundscape that was once analog. This album is best absorbed on first listen to in headphones, preferably late at night in a comfortable place, sans outer disturbances. Watch the video made for the song Latchkey on this album here.
The Other Ground Mixtape Vol 1. 2004
The Otherground website (www.theog.net) put out a call to its 300 members, to come up with the material for its first mixtape, THE OTHERGROUND MIXTAPE VOL. 1. This mixtape was to be a showcase of the various talents, that come together regularly in this thriving community, and we reckon they have hit the spot, with a class mix of hip hop, that vibrates with feeling. The way the tracks were chosen, showed the true spirit of what a community should be about. They asked for submissions to be placed on their forum, and for visitors to vote on what tracks would make the cut. And they went with popular demand, bringing 18 quality grooves to the table, and passing them on to DJ FIXX to mix em up. Danger ft. Conscious Produced by Thinker. I designed the cover.

There was suppossed to be an immediate follow-up to the Pagan album, entitled, 'Neo-Pagan: Next Movement 1957'. Yeah well that uh, like never happened. But there were some songs that did get made. I felt that they ought to be heard so I came up with yet another promotional cd to showcase those songs as well as to give a peek at songs from Vinyl Destination (Latchkey & Everyday). The cd was only $2.99. An almost easy sale, throughout the African Street Festival that summer. I even had a role of pennies for change. The album had a few very different types of tracks as well as some guest appearances from artist other then I (On the song 'Jungle', Quest from OTF makes a cameo, and Crooked Scholar accompanies me on 'Racer X', the first Co-Thought track; a production collaboration of Thinker of Thoughtful Productions & yours truely.) There's a track on there called 'Driving Too Slow' for something
I'm working on called Comedystrumentals. There's also Session 4 which is like the album interlude. A nice little jazz mixup. And I'll give you one more. Sweet Tears. Okay. Here's Another one. Milo
E.R.P.E.- Extraordinary Rhythm Poet Extravaganza © 2005 Basement 2 Da Pavement
Tzo, a very talented 'bredren' of mine as we say in Da Basement, has worked on this album for quite some time. Perfectionist? Perhaps, just cautious and understanding the importance of quality and representation of self when putting forth music and art in general. Well of course the reason why my bredrens album is mentioned in this discography, is because I had the priviledge to contribute 3 tracks of production under the pseudonym I.R. Producer. Click on songs and video links. More free music for you. 1. That's The Word: Video. 2. Compliments ft. Crooked Scholar 3. ICCI: Inner-City Cointelpro
The World Is Under One Large Scaffold: Mixtape LP © Eklektic Gardens 2005
You know, the amount of scaffolds I've seen come up in the Bronx in the course of a year has been numerous. And it's not just in the Bronx. And it's not just because construction is being done. A lot of the time it's because the buildings are old and worn and falling apart. Portions of their upper regions falling to the ground below. I thought that to be quite interesting and at times almost comaparable to the very world we live in. Regardless of what you may believe to be true the world is kinda sorta under one large scaffold. And there are quite a few ways to interpret what that actually means. A couple songs from the mixtape. 1. Getcha 2. Time: produced by Sunny Winters
Co-Conspirators EP/LP ? Late Fall © 2005 Eklektic Gardens
This is a cool record and it's close to completion. An album full of collaborations. An album full of
just be easy, and record, type songs. I wanted to get some of the dopest emcees on the east coast on this one. On a few of the tracks I take the back seat and just simply produce and let the emcee go to work. There are a handful of long-distance collabos on here. Definitely took advantage of modern technology to make those happen. Check out the Intro track entitled 'Hello'. Sorry but that's all you get for now.

I Dreem en blak & Whyt TBA © Eklektic Gardens
Not quite sure what's gonna happen with this one. There's a definite question mark hovering about it. I do have an intro track you can check it out though. It's very rough. You're getting the skelton. This was written and recorded on sudden impulse to just get it down. If the vocals on the chorus perturb you, don't fret, I intend on recording them over. Listen to WC4U. I already have an idea for a video short for this one.
