Download Song Here: Occupy Until Walls Street Crumbles

When I used my lifesavings and a bank loan to start building my family dream home, I never dreamed the bank would go out of business… Nonetheless, in the middle of construction, the government seized IndyMac Bank for illegal business practices, stopping my loan and preventing me from building my family home. To make matters worse, another bank acquired Bosko’s loan from IndyMac and illegally threatened to foreclose. Pushed up against the wall, I decided to fight back. Representing myself with no law degree, (though thankfully a college education) I was able to sue the Banks, and through a grueling two-year federal court battle, stop the foreclosure, and force a favorable settlement.

My career has been gaining momentum, on the heels of my recent success as a writer and performer on J. Cole’s #1 Album and worldwide hit “Workout”, and I felt now was the time to add my voice to the Occupy Wall Street Movement with this new song “Occupy Until…”

There is a common misconception that #ows is about taking money from the rich, but it’s not. #Ows is about stopping the theft of our money and property by Wall Street Banks. The 99% includes everyone from those in poverty to those making less than $340k/yr. Walls Street uses its money to control both political parties, helping it funnel trillions of dollars of our money into its hands. Government bailouts went straight to greedy banker’s pockets while they kicked our families out of their homes.

Please support Occupy Wall Street!

J. Cole’s highly anticipated debut album just hit #1 on Billboard and the first single “Workout” features a very heavy dose of Bosko on the talkbox!

Rewind four months ago: In the middle of a particularly challenging day, I got an email requesting permission to use a song I co-wrote with Kanye West called “New Workout Plan”.

Of course I wanted to hear the song before I said yes, so a few minutes later I’m on my iPhone listening to my talkbox solo looped over and over behind a rapper I recognize as J. Cole spittin’ a hot verse. I’m thinkin’…hell yeah. Great song. I like J.cole. Let’s do it!

I’m all over the song, in fact the beat is me, so it should be good look right? Not so much… I call to get the details, only to find out that the record company is only offering me $250 dollars and NO CREDIT. Wow….is this Big Red Records?

I guess they had me mixed up with Lil Richard or something. No disrespect, but I cut my hair and this ain’t the 1950′s.

See…no resemblance.

An hour long phone call with the attorneys only ended in name calling and insults.

My first music attorney and mentor Virgil Roberts told me years ago, negotiation can be like a game of chicken. Two cars speed toward eachother head on. Whoever swerves loses the game and is forever labeled as the “chicken”. Virgil’s advice: The driver that throws his steering wheel out of the window is not gonna lose. So, I threw mine out. No credit, no song.

Of course this story has a happy ending as you now know. No car crash, just a call from J.Cole’s manager agreeing to fair terms. The rest as they say is history: #1 Album, hit single with J. Cole, plaque on the way!

Here is the remix featuring an additional exclusive Bosko Talkbox verse! [warning: explicit]

Stay tuned for more Bosko + J. Cole Collaborations coming soon. Cole Word!

Me ‘n Quest Love backstage gettin’ ready to rip….  and yes that’s right we Big Boi and Bosko were rockin’ with the Legendary Roots Crew last night on NBC.  Watch the video below!

Big Boi feat. Bosko “Shutterbugg” was the theme music to kick off the Entourage season 7 premiere episode. Entourage is one of my favorite TV shows, so I was obviously excited to be a part of it!

I could also appreciate being the music to this sexy bird’s strut…watch the clip here:
