Hey all…hope you are starting your day on a good note…

I’m on the grind today, sessions, music, and more music. I will be available for live help 10:15am -12:30pm Est maybe a little longer.

I heard about RedBull doing many big things with music and hiphop. Today we’ll look at the intro for the ’08 RedBull producer battle in Dc.

Dc is not far from Baltimore, but the native music scenes are a bit different. DC has “Go-Go music”, and Baltimore has “Baltimore Club music”. Although I know a lot about the history of club music, I don’t know much about Go-Go music. For sure, Chuck Brown is like the Godfather of Go Go. Djays used to play his music at college functions.

As you watch, you’ll hear the producers give a brief breakdown of DC’s music culture. This is good info. I noticed that DC producers tend to mix both gogo and hiphop when making drum patterns. Now I’ve got a better idea of how this came to be..

Whats up all?.. Check this out..new 9th wonder interview. I was taking a little lunch break, logged onto igoogle etc. and saw the link to this from 9th himself.

See the guy on the right of 9th? That’s Baltimore’s Own DJ Face. I mentioned in one of my very first post about how I came onto the local scene. Well DJ Face was the first DJ to put me in rotation at the Five Seasons ” Brown Sugar Mondays”… and he gave me some nice kicks too..I thought it was cool to click play and see him sitting in London with 9th Wonder… be inspired ..

How are all of you? It’s a beautiful Monday here on the east coast, almost like we skipped spring and went straight to summer

I mentioned that I would be doing a write up on “Elevate Hope Foundation”. I have started this post about 3 times. I had to work through some tough memories, but finally my words can flow smoothly.

About Elevate Hope Foundation

Mission: (used by permission from the official EHF website)

Elevate Hope Foundation (EHF) is dedicated to providing abused and abandoned children an alternative method of therapy through music and the arts, and funding special services and programs that assist the needs of these children using these fundamental methods.

Co-founded in 2001 by entertainer Sheila E. and business manager, Lynn Mabry, EHF supports existing programs of their beneficiaries through monetary funding and in-kind donations e.g. musical instruments, art supplies, and work stations complete with computers, keyboards and applicable instructional software.

Over 65 percent of our grant dollars will be invested at the local community level. Outside financial support fills a viable niche in light of more conservative funding offered by the federal government.

Foster care systems and outreach programs alike share the urgent demand for funding and unite in this strong commitment to serve the needs of disadvantaged children…..continue reading complete Mission, Challenge, and Solution

Testimonials & Mission

I am honored to present a foundation that I believe in. A lot of times we hear about different programs and become skeptical about helping. I can honestly say The Elevate Hope Foundation is built on spiritual values and lead by Love. Sheila E. has helped many children over the years. She treats her fans practically like family. Although EHF was not officially established at the time, my life was personally affected by Sheila’s movement. I will share some of my story with you:

I always loved Isaac Hayes’ music. His scores were so dramatic. His albums were filled with musical themes more than regular r&b songs. I remember checking out a few of his songs for samples and just listened for hours. One of my favorites by the late Mr. Hayes is ” The Isaac Hayes Movement”

To this day my family still plays his music at cook outs in the summer. A true music legend indeed.His music has touched generations of people.

A few producers on Youtube have uploaded videos paying tribute to Isaac Hayes. First up is Wu-Tang Producer Supreme7g Getting down on the Mpc with a classic Isaac Hayes sample…

BrianAnthonyMusic responded with a cool video bio…this is real nice…

Good morning all! Hope your week is going smooth.. I’m about to work on some crunk tracks this morning, and later some east coast beats.

I’ve been asked many times about the synths I use for dirty south beats. I like a variety of sounds. I use vst plugins mentioned on the site, as well as the Alesis Micron. My absolute favorites are the Subtractor and Malstrom Graintable Synthesizers, both included with Reason.

When you get into them, they are awesome modules. I usually start with a preset and begin tweaking right away. Once I get a sound I like I save it as my own preset.

Here are a couple nice videos which pretty much sums up the knobs I twist on the Malstrom. This should get you making some original sounds in no time….Enjoy!

Wow its 11:45 am here..I couldn’t log in for a while, but looks like I fixed the error…

I know I haven’t done enough post on Reason 4.0 yet. They take a little longer for me. I will be adding plenty more soon. I’ve gotten all my equipment synced, so all is running smooth and now I am used to the 4.0 edition…

I really like this tutorial. He really gets into the groove of things so to speak . He also uses a sample every producer has probably used. Enjoy..and I’ll be on tomorrow for live help..early am again til around 1:00pm..
