Hey wassup to all my peeps and supporters out there. Hopefully you all are still getting plenty of listening enjoyment from my newest album release 'The Ascent of the Fallen Angel'. Who am I kidding, of course you are. 😉

However for those of you who haven't, or those who are just being introduced to me I'm hoping you'll find time to give the album a listen and also add any and all of your favorites from the album to your personal playlists. As the album is available on Spotify, iHeart, YouTube and Apple Music. Also, definitely subscribe to all if my social media channels. The love is appreciated. 😊

Having said all that, I'd also like to take this time to inform you all that this upcoming August 2022 we will begin launching and providing (for the 1st time) PONY XODUS merchandise!!! I'm talking the standard t-shirts, stickers, autographed posters, hoodies, coffee mugs, thumb drives,...etc. How dope is that!!! 

This new album definitely represents my finest work as an artist. And YOU my fans and supporters have responded in kind. So for me it was a no brainer for me to continue to brand myself and provide you all with all the cool things fans expect to get their hands on in support of their favorite artists. So sit tight, August will be here before you know it. And then you'll not only be able to just have my music on repeat, but have some dope gear and merchandise as well.

As always THANK YOU soooo much for the support. More awesome creative things for you on the horizon. ✌

Hey what's good everyone? Yours truly checking in to send out a warm and sincere thank you to all of you out there who have given listen to, and have been supporting my new album 'The Ascent of the Fallen Angel'...Honestly I can say without arrogance that this album truly is my best outing as a hip-hop artist. But my life as well as the world around me gave me great source material to inspire. 

But as a parent in regards to their own children, of course it should go without saying I would heap praise upon my own work. So yeah, perhaps I am a tad bit biased in my analysis. 😆

But this is why I've created this blog, because I want to genuinely hear from those of you (my fans & supporters) in regards to YOUR thoughts on the album. Be it positive, negative or indifferent. Be honest, I wanna know. I wanna know what 3 songs do you tend to find yourself playing the most or resonates with you the most? Things like this are needed to aid in me deciding which songs should I push  more to DJs and college radio stations as singles, but also in regards to potential music videos. So definitely let your voice be heard. I wanna hear from YOU!!! And thanks again to ALL OF YOU who continue to rock with me on this hip-hop shit. ✌

Hell to da yeah!!! First let me just send out my apologies for the delay of this album. As an independent artist, sometimes "life" just seems to get in the way at the most inappropriate times. Add that to me wanting to ensure that (you) all my fans and supporters are getting the best product from me that I am capable of presenting to you. With that comes multiple rewrites of songs, and re-recordings of certain songs or vocals. But better late than never right?

This album is definitely me at my best. And perhaps my most vulnerable in regards to subject matter. Certain things addressed on this particular album come from a multitude of events over the course of 2019-2021. And though I am a hip-hop artist who prides himself in using the culture to flex my mic skills. It would be dismissive of my talents to not delve into some of the more "personal" events of my life. But whether its tales of street life, me bragging about how dope an MC I am (which I am...Lol!), or sharing with you my experiences of heartbreak. One thing with this album I can assure you. You're gonna be bobbing ya fucking head the whole time through.

This album is my 3rd album as a solo artist in a career spanning over 20 years. And despite there being times where I look around at the current landscape of hip-hop/rap and ask myself "Do you think it's time to step to the side and let the jits have all the fun and glory?" I pause and reflect on how despite being well into her 70's, the queen Maya Angelou was still regarded as one of the top and most influential poets on the planet. And though I may not have Ms. Angelou's accolades and notoriety. What I do have that she had, was a talent of bringing words to life...being able to have my words evoke emotions and inspiration. And as long as I have that ability I'm gonna remain a problem with a pen and a pad until the casket drops. 

That being said, I hope you all enjoy my latest project The Ascent of the Fallen Angel. And sound the alarm to any and all needing to be in the know....Pony Xodus is back with a VENGEANCE!!!!

It's been 5 years since the release of my 2nd album 'A Story Uv A Broken Soul' and since that time a lot of trials and tribulations have transpired within my personal life. But from that also came an influx of creative growth. The years of 2019-2021 will have proven to be the most life challenging era for me both as a person but as an artist. And it would be this era of time in particular that would serve as the premise for 70% of my upcoming album titled...

'The Ascent of the Fallen Angel'. If 'A Story Uv A Broken Soul' served to give a preamble glimpse into my personal life. Then this album will serve as me taking the unapologetic approach of confronting those issues head on. But most importantly continuing to be a outlet of therapy for myself by not internalizing the unfortunate realities that are my life.

This album I found myself at odds with the revisiting of specific events of heartbreak, and betrayal, and my need to give MY perspective of these events. Music is and forever will be my life. And my life will always be reflective within my music. My previous album saw my trials & tribulations break me to my lowest point. With THIS album witness 'The Ascent of the Fallen Angel'.

'The Ascent of the Fallen Angel' 

Coming Soon

My album A STORY UV A BROKEN SOUL represents a 5 year time period of my life where I found myself at odds with my marriage (now over), my distaste for the way rap was being presented, my distrust in American law enforcement and the American government when pertaining to minorities ESPECIALLY the Black Male, my own purpose as an artist. And finally my own spiritual growth...From start to finish the conception, recording and release of this album was a 3 year process. And even though this is my 2nd solo album release, I personally feel this album represents me both at my best as an artist but also at my most vulnerable and revealing. In an era of hip-hop/rap where the staple has now become rapping in auto tune while talking about designer clothes, trapping and bussin' shots. I wasn't too sure how A STORY UV A BROKEN SOUL would be received since each of the 14 tracks stand as their own individual track with separate concepts and messages. But as I foolishly forget, there are still plenty of music listeners and lovers who want more than the cookie cutter style that seems to be forced on them through media outlets. And you've responded to my efforts in the most generous manner. The album continues to do well, and to show my appreciation I will be offering my album A STORY UV A BROKEN SOUL to you in its entirety for FREE starting now until July 1st 2019. Registered members can download the album for free in its entirety. So if you're not a registered member to my official website, join now....NON registered members however will be able to download the LAST 7 songs of the album for free. Haha! Leave it to me to be difficult. Anyways thanks again. And just continue to show love and spread the word about one of Florida's best hip hop talents. DUUUUUVAAAL!!!!

 What started as the aftermath of a failed reconciliation attempt of my former hip-hop group has become without a doubt my GREATEST accomplishment as a hip-hop artist. Two and a half years in the making during possibly the most tumultuous and heartbreaking moments of my entire life. I saw my marriage come to a tragic end, my relationship with my children become strained and distanced. And loyalties from friends and family dishonored. All of these things weighed upon me while still dealing with living in a country that refuses to place any TRUE value on Black Americans and other minorities who have helped build and defend this nation with their own lives. Thus my album A STORY UV A BROKEN SOUL will come to represent the reflection of all of these things. For over the past two years while while maintaining my own livelihood I've patiently funded every aspect of this project on my own. No donations, no sponsors....just me grinding on the 9 to 5 until everything that needed to be done was complete and strategically placed where they needed to be. And though drained, both mentally and financially. I can say to you all with a sense of triumph and vigor, the album is now entering its final stages of completion. So much so that the release date for my album has been set for JULY 13th, 2017.

 So what can you expect from this album you ask? Well from those who either know me personally or have followed me on social media for some time pretty much know the deal. But for those of you who may be more novice to my music and personality I'll say this. If you are expecting/wanting to hear a bunch of trap style, auto tuned voice, non conceptual, over glamorization of guns, drugs, cars, hoes and designer clothes then THIS IS NOT THE ALBUM FOR YOU! Cuz we don't trap we hip-hop ya heard! That's just me keeping it 1k. What you WILL get is a man who has a strong degree of respect for both the streets and hip-hop culture in many cases baring his soul, sharing his views and ideologies on a wide range of topics over some banging ass beats. A project that has thoroughly been crafted to let each track (song) be distinctive in its own manner. It's a dark album in some aspects. Kind of like watching STAR WARS: THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK,...or Christopher Nolan's THE DARK KNIGHT. This album from a musical standpoint falls along those veins. But like my own life, I was mindful to give the project a sense of hope to rejoice. So there are a couple gems in there that will definitely have you in those moods of just wanting to cut loose and appreciate the lives we live. I can not stress enough how proud I am of this project and how fortunate I am as an artist to have the individuals who aided me during this process to be able to say that they to had a hand in this album, whether it was from a production standpoint, engineering, photography, music video production, graphic designs or whatever. Huge degree of gratitude and respect to each of you. So now that we have an official album release date in place. Who all has plans on copping this album when it drops July 13th? Well whether you do or don't I'll go on record now saying that ain't no hip-hop/rap artist from the state of Florida gonna have a album better than this one in 2017. Yeah I said it. Much love to all of you who have patiently supported me on this project. Next month we let the world know it was worth the wait. Duval for life!!!!
