BarNone's "Da Gig" Music Video

Check out my bruh BarNone's "Da Gig" Music Video! Basically, he's one of the first artists I've recorded when I decided to take producing seriously. Trust, he's not an artist anyone should sleep on. Also, cop his debut album on iTunes "Never Turn Back". Currently, he's gathering productions for his sophomore album which I definitely landed slots on! This album is going to be FIYAH! Look out for the homie BarNone!!!

My Project Studio

Here's the most recent picture of my the Project studio I have. Don't get it twisted, the equipment that I have including the Waves Mercury Mixing Program produces high quality sounds. From the Microphone to the Focusrite pre-amp, the recordings are crisp. As I continue to upgrade and add to the studio, I will post a blog. Email me tjdaproducer@gmail.com for production prices or for studio time cost!

Shout out to Global and Money County

As I said, this blog is going to be used to document my adventure. Last Friday, October 16th, my folx K-RO and I shot over to Money County (Marin County) to meet up w/ Global and Dro Beatz. After getting lost for a bit due to me not reading the directions right, we arrived at his studio. It's a dope studio with a sound booth that they constructed themselves. What hit me right away was a SUPA SLAP they were playing. Global gasses on beats!! Dro Beatz got some supa productions! I also learned a lot about the history of Marin. After meeting some more folx, Dro, K-RO and I got down to it. 1st slap was on a West Coast/Dre tip. I created the piano rifts and added some strings and Dro murked it w/ the drums. DONE! Second beat was on a smooth/club tip. Synths, chord arrangements and a catchy but simple tune. Also, it was first time using the type of program they had and I'm telling you this, I'm gonig to get that same exact program and it's going to take my productions to the next level......but this will be on a different post. When all was said and done, we made supa slaps...and it's just the beginning. First time linking up with Dro Beatz and we already started making some fiyah! Shout out to Global, Dro Beatz, The Kamp, and the rest of their squad!!! (Then we got lost for about 30 minutes going back home!

Keep'n it 100 Tip #1 by Gary Archer

Keep'n it 100 TV (100 TV) is an online show that will capture the true grind of artists, producers, dj's, etc. to show the world what it really takes to either keep the lifestyle they have or to achieve the lifestyle they want. 100 TV along with the show's host, Jing, was invited to Nump's listening party for his current album "Student Ov Da Game"(COP YOURSELF 4 COPIES). That place was crackin especially when Bay Area Legend E-40 showed up. Jing (@str8K_A_H), was extremly busy getting shout outs and interviews w/ a lot of artists....one of them being Gary Archer, Mistah Fab's manager. (@LEGENDGARY). No editing needed, Gary puts everything on the line with his understanding of Keep'n it 100. Follow the show --> @KEEPNIT100TV. www.Keepnit100TV.com coming soon!

Neko (Mysto & Pizzi)

I've been having my eyes set on the Neko. The quality of the sounds on this piece of machine is INSANE! The Motif to me, still has one of the best live piano sounds. If you look close to what type of the keyboard the keybaordist is using during live band plays on BET Awards, MTV Awards, it's most likely going to be a Motif. On the production side, the Neko is the best hands to me...to me. Here's a vid of two sick producers (Mysto & Pizzi) using the Neko. Btw, these guys can make some serious heat!!

BUSY BUSY BUSY!!!

I haven't had time to post anything new since the last blog. Basically, there's a lot that's been going on in the last couple of months. I have been blessed with new and exciting projects. Met a lot of good people outside of the Bay Area specifically in Vegas (Shouts to J.Myth and his camp), and the East Coast (Shouts out to Vinny Vegas and his entire camp). But I've also met some good folx in my own soil (Shouts to Young Global and his camp from $$$ County). When people believe in the music that you create, it creates more hunger. Believe this - I am more humbled but hungrier then ever. Also, I saw the sample music video for "Start My Day Off" w/ Tay Assassin and Boo Banger that I produced and it's looking sick!!! Can't wait for the final product.

Making music is the foundation, everything else just adds to the building...and I'm not done building and adding to the foundation. Shouts to all the folx that has been there from the gate. You know who you are!!! Just trying to bring something to the Potluck...which will then be a buffet...MORE BLOGGING SOON!!!!!!

Anderson Silva is BEAST!

UFC 101 was the 2nd time Anderson moved up to Light Heavy-Weight. The first time he moved up to that the division he fought James "Sandman" Irvin. James was a much bigger opponent for Anderson and is considered a larger Light Heavy-Weight. I honestly thought that Anderson would have some problems. Less then 2 minutes into the fight, the referee was standing over James protecting him for receiving any further damage. Ok, this is when I knew that Anderson is a LEGEND! His most recent move up to Light Heavy-Weight to fight Forrest Griffin was even more impressive. Knowing Forrest for his stand up game, I thought he would have Silva in SOME kind of trouble. I learned my lesson. Never doubt Anderson's skills again. Silva did not only beat him in the first round, but he embarrassed him. Knocked him down 3 times! Silva even put his hands down, stood infront of him Forrest and let him try to hit him. The KO punch was when Griffin threw 2 punches at Silva which he dodged and as Silva was moving backwards threw the punch to his face which made Griffin fall to the floor. This is when Griffin threw his hands up signalling to the referee that he's done. ANDERSON SILVA IS A BEAST!
