I found time capsules so exciting as a child. I think most kids probably did, and do, love time capsules. There’s something magical about preserving part of your life, deep underground, until somebody finds it in the distant future. Maybe we find them so fascinating because, even after we’re gone, we will still have some connection with the Earth and the people on it.

Anyway, following on from that philosophical interlude, a project is currently running which is trying to bring the traditional time capsule into the 21^st Century. Instead of preserving something in a box underground, this dude has decided to

Word on the street is that R2D2 has the skills to get the dance floor bumpin’. Well, sort of. This short three minute “music video” was made by the audio-visual mixing kings, Eclectic Method.

Robots consists of various sounds collected from different sci-fi films and mixed into a pretty sweet, robot dance worthy song. Check it out and

I enjoy almost all genres of music and I consider myself to be pretty open-minded when it comes to music. I grew up on Rap, Hip Hop, and R&B from the 90’s and 2000’s. Jazz music has never been really my cup of tea but I certainly appreciate it. I’ll listen to it but won’t go out of my way to seek it.

A few months back, I was looking up some throw back songs from Usher on YouTube when I accidentally came across a few versions of Usher’s song ‘Nice and Slow’ done in a “saxophone version”. It kind of caught me off guard to see that and I decided to check the songs out because I always wanted to learn to play the Saxophone.  In my mind, the Saxophone seems like the perfect instrument to sweep a girl off their feet. A few of the versions of that song were pretty bloody good and two artists really stood out. One of those artists is saxophonist, Jafar Idris. After checking out his songs and enjoying much of his work, I decided to contact him and throw some questions his way.

Between the six of us writing here at Unfinished Man, our play lists pretty much cover all the genres of North American music. I happen to have a preference for Rap, Hip-Hop, and R&B. I’m always looking for new upcoming artists and constantly checking social media sites such as YouTube, MySpace, and OurStage looking for new talent.

About a week ago, I accidentally came across a rapper named Terell Safadi. I had never heard of him before but his music really caught my attention. His versatile style, his delivery, and the production of the music really did it for me. The more I looked up his music, the more I liked him. So I decided to contact him and see what his story is.

Unfinished Man: Thank you for giving us the opportunity to interview you Terell. Why don’t you tell our readers a little bit about yourself?
