What I'm Watching ... Ryan Leslie x Red Cafe "Fly Together" In-Studio

Ryan Leslie dropped this in-studio video a couple of days ago and I'm here to bring it to those who haven't checked it out yet. This right here, for the umpteenth time, shows me how talented this guy is. From the beginning where playing the keys to the synthesizer, guitar, drums. Whatever. This guy creates it from scratch like that?! Amazing. I've always been a fan of his music and videos like this one just elevates that respect. I wish I could play that many instruments that well. Check it.

Creating the instrumental & hook for Red Cafe's new single "Fly Together" featuring me & Rick Ross.

Check It ... Infinito 2017 and Dirt E. Dutch - "A Place Called Truth (Remix)" (Audio)

New Dutchman remixed single from Infinito 2017 and Dirt E. Dutch's album titled "Withoutpermission". A Place Called Truth is definitely a destination we need to get to if we haven't yet. Infinito 2017 is giving his insight on how to do that on this track.

"Withoutpermission" available now at UGHH (bit.ly/py4pJF) and iTunes (bit.ly/nYBMz6)

Released 26 July 2011
Lyrics: Infinito 2017
Beat: Dirt E. Dutch (Dutchman

The Album:
Withoutpermission is an organic, free-spirited call to action which encourages the listener to always remain aware of one’s self and surroundings. The message in Infinito 2017’s lyrics remains consistent from track to track, essentially reminding us all that greatness comes from within, and you cannot exude that greatness until you have first found yourself. There is plenty of fabrication being displayed in today’s hip hop music and imagery, but no one creating this music can hold a candle to the artist that speaks from the heart, and dares to formulate a song from his own designs. Dirt E. Dutch’s soulful production lays the rhythmic setting, while Infinito paints the soundscape, with an array of enlightened writtens, cadence shifts, and occasional freestyles. The title suggests that you create precisely what you want to create. You say what you feel, and you make it sound the way you want it to sound. Never let someone tell you that you cannot do something a particular way. Greatness is never achieved with permission. The true artists create, Withoutpermission.

Finally got some videos from the Brooklyn Hip-Hop Festival here for you guys. With so many amazing artists hitting the stage, as a blogger, I'd have to apologize for the quality of these videos. As a fan, I was so into the show that I missed some opportunities to get videos of a few others, but no apologies here. Haha. From L.A. to Eternia, from Random Axe to Kanye West, I was able to get some good footage for those who missed it or those who wanna relive that day. Check out the first part of videos and make sure you stay tuned to part 2 coming.

Reason 4AR "Champion Sound"

A few months back I announced that I was trying to put together a beat tape featuring Milwaukee producers. Reason was one of the talented producers to submit beats. He's got heat. His production work has backed many dope emcees coming out of the MKE Hip-Hop scene, including the recent Dana Coppafeel project. Recently Reason took the 6th Annual 2011 Miltown Beatdown title, battling some of the best on the scene. Below peep the vid for Champion Sound, an interview with Reason and his Champion Sound project. Enjoy. Chea!

Top $ Raz "Slip" (Produced by Badd Lukk)

"I'm from the Rock mothafucka we don't quit!"

I've been sitting on this track for a little while now and earlier today Far Rockaway's own Top $ Raz unleashed it on the Internets. Fuck release dates right? Just drop bombs and then turn that bomb off and then drop it again. Ha! Off the upcoming EP with producer Badd Lukk, Reign on the Parade, Top $ delivers more of that hunger through his rhyme that he's known for. Solid track. Hit play and enjoy. Chea!

"Top $ Raz and Badd Lukk have known each other for over eight years, and have been doing tracks together for seven of those years. Now at age 23, they have come together again across a Far Rock diaspora, Badd Lukk now resides in North Carolina, to bring the whole cycle full circle with a five track EP."

Shane Eli "Who's Laughing Now?"

I dig Shane Eli's work. The rapper/producer puts out quality music. Here is his latest featured on Puma x DJBooth Uncontested project. Another solid offering.

"I only started releasing music a little over a year ago, so having a song chosen for a project like DJBooth.net and Puma's album - alongside Emilio Rojas, Freeway, Laws and some of the dopest artists around - is definitely an honor. There are a lot of people who told me to give up and stop making music; "Who's Laughing Now?""
