Get Familiar

Peep game. Peezzay went over my studio w/ Enoch (Enoch's firt time). I already knew Peezzay got bars from other songs that I produced for him. Peezzay went to the computer and downloaded a beat that they were going to record over. The beat was made by Amp/DJ Abbico. I played the beat and it was FIRE!! So we got down to it. I'm going to tell you this - Peezzay and Enoch is a lethal combination. These verses put my microphone in a colma! The hook is catchy and smooth! With the hot beat, they made a DOPE TRACK!! I got down to it and put my creativity in the mix. After all is said and done, I believe the song is gaining a lot of traction in BELGIUM! "Who does that"??!! LOL! Out of country recognition! Mos def props to Enoch & Peezzay for doing what they do best. Props to Amp/DJ Abbico for making a hot beat! Below is the product. Listen & "GET FAMILIAR"!

SCOTT STORCH GOT TORCH!

I don't care what anyone says, Scott Storch is one of the sickest producers/MUSICIANS out there. He's a one man band. Not that there's anything wrong with having a team of musicians on your side but I'm just saying. He's piano knowledge/skills is crazy. He uses the piano like I've never seen anybody use it. The sounds he can replicate through the keys is what separates him from other producers. He's also responsible for a lot of 50's hits including the track that made everyone "LEAN BACK" for like an entire year. Also the piano rift on Still Dre. That track with Eve and Gwen Stefani. This producer has made HITS! Yes, he tried to battle one of greatest ever (TIMBALAND) which was a definite mistake on his part and hopefully he learned from that. But that takes nothing away from his talent. I'm not on the guy, just saying he's dope and should be considered as one of the best producers out there. Again, just my opinion.

David Sides is insane on the KEYS!

So, I was going through some piano vids and came across David Sides. If you don't know him already then you haven't seen talent on the keys yet. Check out his youtube account. Bottom line is this guy is INSANE on the piano! MAJOR TALENT! Peep his version of Lil Wayne's "Lollipop".

Managing Projects

One of the toughest things that I'm coming accross right now is managing projects. Maybe I take on too many all the same time but the work is piling up. I guess that's a good thing but only if it's managed correctly. I'm starting to develop somewhat of a process to streamline the whole thing but it's still difficult. The last thing I want to do is say that I'm going to give beats to somebody then have it get lost in the pile. Not saying that some people don't have priority because I believe that everyone is priority but that's how some artists will perceive it.

The good thing I have more experienced individuals that I can get advice from to help with some direction. Again, a lot of projects is good...means that the network is growing. But projects not managed correctly or not attended is bad business. So, for all of you producers/beat makers that is trying to get in the industry, manage your projects when people start asking you for beats for their album/mixtape. Sometimes, it's ok to say "no, I don't have the time right now...but you will soon". Manage and take care of each project that you are on. Make sure that you talk to the artists about the direction they want especially if you are the Executive Producer (like I am on a couple of albums). Each project you are given can either build or break your resume/reputation. Conduct good business.
