Interview: Miss Special x Nicolay

A little over a week ago, myself and Myk Blauuw had the opportunity to have a phone interview with producer, Nicolay. We spoke about Phonte's upcoming solo project, if it features any Nicolay production, the upcoming Median album and working with Wiz Khalifa early on. We also spoke about the "City Lights" volumes, why The Foreign Exchange chose to do a live album, performing "Return Of The Mack" on tour, what to expect from the live show, YahZarah's new baby, having their own label and more.

What I'm Watching: Aloe Blacc "I Need A Dollar" x "Billie Jean" (Special MADE Performance)

MOMENTS WITH ALOE BLACC, MIKI AND JAYBO: "I NEED A DOLLAR" PART 5/6 from MADE Blog on Vimeo.

I'm a sucker for live instrumentation. And what Aloe Blacc does here  just accompanied by the string section is incredible. Damn. And he's holding a glass a water (or vodka - allegedly, of course) the whole time? Dope. Hit play and enjoy. Chea!

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.

Check It ... Brooklyn Hip-Hop Festival (Videos Pt 1 + 2)

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.
