Meet DJ Rah2K! Not only is he one of the most reputable West Coast DJ's but he also was the first to place "Rockin' Up Work" on a mixtape. That marked my first time on an industry mixtape. Make sure you download his mixtapes at http://www.mixtapepass.com/artist/dj_rah2k

A new marketing ploy to intrigue your followers or just plain laziness? LOL! Either way, I think this is a great plan to get your fans and audience involved in the creative process.
I'm not too sure bout this song. Yah, for sure this song is about lyrics and content, but the beat does not do these artist justice. Someone find me a the accapella.
Ampichino dropped this Twitter release today, I think? Ampichino was also featured on "No Tears" from him and Jacka's, "Devilz Rejectz 2" Which is a smash!

Cut the camera off! LOL! P Diddy is doing mad promo for his latest album, "Last Train to Paris." He using all major internet resources to help promote. Here is a clip taken from a LIVE Ustream feed.
Check out Bay Area Latino Rapper, Benzo and his latest mixtape which features, Freeway, Gudda Gudda of Young Money, and production from Beathoven and myslf. I produced "B Me" & "Wanna Know."
Oakland native Kev Choice is one of the many elite artists from the Bay Area. Not only is he a talented pianist, but the man can move the crowd at the same time. He can rap & play keys, if that ain't ill you probably think rappin' and clappin' spoons is dope.
"This incredibly well-rounded MC/Pianist/Producer also has an impressive resume as an in-demand Keyboardist for Dwele, The Martin Luther Experience, Too $hort, Goapele and (formerly) Lauryn Hill and DJ Quick.

"Man you would be surprised, he doesn't write anything down on paper, Blackberry's, etc. He thinks up the song and lays it down. I gave him the track and he kinda zoned out...the rest is history." -LEFT of the Frontline
The homie Hongry had played this video for Nio and I at the the studio Wednesday night and I was blown away. It sounds familiar but its coming from Oakland! Feel me? There is something about this girl that is just screaming to work with her. I guess we'll have to wait and see. Enjoy!
The curator of the infamous Stompilation; DJ Crook is back and ready to drop the second volume and from what he told me the day of the video shoot of the song I produced, he said that volume 2 is finished and is now working on shooting a video to every song. Now, that's a dope compilation considering that from the looks of it, it'll possibly come out with a DVD, just like its predecessor.
The song I placed on the Stompilation Vol. 2 will feature Laroo, Philthy Rich, Bailey and Goldie on the hook. I think the tentative title is "Gunz & Azz." At the video shoot they had legendary cameos. The likes of San Quinn, Turf Talk, and Nio tha Gift all came to show support and strength for DJ Crook. It seemed like a great network of friends.
So make sure you look out for the videos and buy the compilation when it drops!
Considering that TV will be one of our past times and live broadcasting will soon be streamed, it looks like music videos are also more aggressive when expressing their freedom of speech and artistic views. No more rules!! This video looks crazy. The song "Monster" also features hip hop all stars, Rick Ross, Nikki Minage, and none other that the biggest monster of them all Jay-Z. Enjoy the trailer, which will soon be the talk of the town since Keri Hilson's, "Fuck, fuck, fuck" song. Lol.
Recently Mistah Fab's mother died from Cancer. I hate to hear news like this especially during the holidays. I've had the upmost respect for FAB since I met him, he's always been really genuine with me. Doing a song for moms, a few days after she passes takes a lot of strength, love and dedication. I salute you bro!!
If you'd like to help FAB out, here is a recent tweet:
I've always respected FAB for keepin it 100. The first time I met FAB he listened to my beats and told me "You got it. No Bullshit." We have records together but we have yet to work in the studio together. In due time, for sure!!
This song is crazy! I'm feelin' this! It puts everything in perspective. Big up to Droop-E!!
