How many artists out there are frustrated? I mean, let's admit it. Doing the work. Performing the art. Recording the music. Whatever it is as far as production goes IS NO PROBLEM for the artist who has a genuine desire for these type of things. What we are frustrated about the most is the lack of opportunity. When we sincerely give our best out of sheer passion yet lack the means and resources to successfully get our point across.

If you take a look around everything that is happening in and around Pasadena, California right now, it's chaos. A circus. Especially in the local politics portal. Aside from how the City of Pasadena poses a constant threat to it's own local culture & heritage in the name of money and taxation, majority of native, local rap artists simply don't embrace what the 'Pasadena Music Scene' has set out to do.

With all due respect to other local platforms that cater to local artists in the Pasadena / Altadena region, it seems as though people see ThaWilsonBlock for what it is but simply choose not to embrace it...for whatever reason. Another thing that certified the Pasadena Music Scene through Bing Bing's efforts was his consistency and actually living in the City of Pasadena. In fact, most people know that Bing Bing wasn't born in Pasadena. But, the local music scene he's created was no fly-by-night. It's been a walk. A journey. And he is and has been proactive on the streets of Pasadena, California everyday.

After the creation of DENA artists' new 'unity' movement, Bing Bing saw it as an opportunity to evolve. First taken as...
