This is my 1st official beat making video for the world. I was inspired to make a simple beat and I recorded the process in which I make a beat. I mentioned in a earlier blog post about aspiring to be a great producer and I took my own advice in the section of emulating a style of music I like. I was feeling a 2001 Dr. Dre west coast feel when I was playing this beat. I felt that if I recreated something like the Chronic 2001, I would be able to appreciate the music and its respective layers. Check the video out and subscribe to my youtube channel for future updates.

This week is a week of changes. I am now officially 23 and doing it live and serious with my involvement in music. The months have peen passing by way to fast to even remember.

Since the times are changing, I have decided to change up the theme to bring a warm feeling to the blog as well as a new outlook on my direction in life. The current theme seems to bring out my warm and positive feelings about music, people, life and my future.

This week I have also helped setup Dj Luicidal’s blog. His show is packed to numerous content ranging from comedy bits, mixing, interviews, live comedy, bay area classics, and more underground hip hop. Peep out his blog and show him some love. He has a mixes for download for free!! If you are in the bay area his show is on 90.5FM every Tuesday morning from 6am-10am.

Thank you for your continued support of college radio and good music. Check out the playlists this week.

I have been pretty surprised that there hasn’t been more mudslinging between the two nominated candidates for President. Usually around this time the Republicans or Democrats start digging up some crazy information about each other and then smear it all over the media (insert Barrack “Yes I inhaled marijuana”)…hopeing that people will not vote for the candidate that is being smeared.

People are smarter than that….I hope… well…are we? Our country some how let George Bush run the White House for 8 years straight. Even though a majority of the country didn’t vote for him, and even with the massive anti-war protests. Well, I don’t have the answer to every question in the universe but here is an awesome propaganda video to get Obama elected into office. This video is silly, but the lyrics are powerful. I am pretty sure if you have that “A Milli” sample stuck in your head you are going to have “Obama” stuck in your head soon.

Shout out to A.P.T. for making the song. They have a blog you can check out with other videos. These dudes were also organized enough to get the song posted up on iTunes to download and for ringtones.

Ichy The Killer on the turntables

Today was a good day! I had DirtbagDan and Ichy The Killer came through and bless my show with a dope DJ set and a dope freestyle. It was good to see a dope DJ tear up the spot while having DirtBagDan on the mic freestyling. You can check out DirtBagDan’s myspace and see him on the song produced by Skylar G called “Our City.” You can also sign up for an account on ursession.com and check out local Bay Area artists and support them in the 100k battle. Other than that, enjoy the playlist for today.
