A note from Neil Armstrong to his fans worldwide:
Long before backing up Jay-Z around the world I was known way more for making these really interesting thematic mixtapes, as opposed to being known for throwing up diamond roc hand signs.
The 2nd cd I made was one called sweeet, dang near 10 years ago. It wasn't as planned as my other cds, but it become clear when it was done that it was the about the sweeet goodness of love life and soul.
The music on it felt good, like the sunshine.
Now although I've done some crazy things over the past year - performing at Madison Square Garden, hitting the stage in front of over 120,000 people at glastonbury, and being on the world stage front and center as the man behind the 1's and 2's at President Obama's Inaugration, I've learned to my greatest pleasure that I'm the same cat I was 10 years ago.
Nothings changed, because -
I was who I was before I got here.
I'm this person, who listens to a lot of music, who loves the art of djing, and whose answer to Huey Lewis' (can't forget the news!) eternal question will always be an unequivocal "yes" - I do believe in love.
This cd is called Sweeet part 2, to keep pushing the feeling on. This is my 1st full cd in over 3 years, and I really missed making these things for y'all. Sorry it took so long...
A special thanks to Sky Gellatly, Miss Vashtie, G Bo the Pro & Double R, and of course Mr. Carter for providing me with one of the greatest opportunities a DJ and a Hip Hop head could ever experience, and also to miss Ona Weber whose infectious hope and happiness will always have an important place in my life...
Mixtapes:

And 1: Neil Armstrong - Warmfuzzy
and some more websites/blogs/interviews:
DJ'ing will get you nowhere. You've heard it, every DJ's been told that. Neil Armstrong is the only DJ to bring the 1's and 2's to a Presidential Inauguration. He posted about it.

Technically speaking this isn't my 1st time performing on that side of town. I did the Pemberton Festival with Jay last year... You know that line in Jockin jay-z - "showin me her chi chis...", I'm pretty sure he got that line from what happened at the pemberton , where a nice canadian girl started frolicking with her boobies while we were performing... OH U CRAZY CANUCKS ;)
BUT this is my 1st time rockin solo, so make sure to come out and party with me if you're on that side of the world.
