Great Morning to you! I’m having a cup of coffee going through thousands of emails and commenting on other blogs (hint hint) … So I read on www.thisis50.com that Nicki Minaj is #1 on Billboard charts. That’s amazing for hiphop and female artist…yaay for Nicki.
I couldn’t help thinking “Where’s The Hit Lounge?” They were the most informative live streams for producers that I have viewed. I missed about 3 or 4 over the summer and plan to watch one more before I get to banging out beats.
I was excited to watch the following segment. It’s filled with a lot of information about publishing, song writing, and things a new producer should consider. Check this out when you have time…
ThisIs50.Com is giving new producers,songwriters and artist a chance to submit music. The session are live each and every Thursday 9pm: Check out the intro, and a full show ft. Joel Ortiz:

Talk about a great way to kick things off with the Showcase! I received and email from King The Producer in June. I hit him back, he followed up and WOW! Not only did he send great music, but he sent a wonderful bio along with links and pictures. Since he is the very first, and did such an excellent job. He’ll be featured on the home gallery, as well as showcased!
Kings composed beats and scores have a great range as far as genre.I listened to tracks with a dirty south style to the newer pop-hop type, and even some Jazzy hiphop. I noticed that King implements synths in many of his songs. Listen how he uses sounds which are popular today,yet he has tweaked them to fit his style.
Kings work with the chord progressions stand out especially when he uses brass! Nice melodies, nice percussion use as well…wonderful work King!

About King The Producer photo and bio submitted by: King
Born and raised in Phoenix, Arizona. Born with the name; Gilbert Isidro Aispuro. At the age of 15, King The Producer really got into classical music and frequently listened to composers such as Chopin, Bach, Mozart and of course Beethoven. In his freshman year at Carl Hayden High School, he decided to take piano courses for the rest of his school years till he graduated. “At 17, my friend, Rueben Perea, happened to have a Casio keyboard he used to mess with, do drums with and record a little melody. When he heard me play a piece on the piano, he was shocked and told me to record a loop, little after, he showed me how to use the drum kits, little after that, he showed me how to record a song, after that, I was hooked!!! Thanks Rue. I always adored instrumentals and producers like; Rick Rubin, Smokey Robinson, Quincy Jones, DJ Premier, Kanye West, Just Blaze, 9th Wonder, Dr. Dre and all the greats.” Read the rest of this entry »
Last night I had a chance to sit in on a Live Stream geared toward producers, artist, and songwriters. A&R’s Tony G and Dre McKenzie of G Unit Records are the main host.
There are so many good things about their Ustream sessions. #1 on the list? The listening sessions are FREE to all! I can’t think of any reason an upcoming hip hop producer would miss this great opportunity.
The basic concept is fairly simple, with many extras each week. Tony and Dre offer a chance to play up to 3 beats or songs in mp3 format. They critique them, and tell you what went wrong or right. Depending on a “Hot or Not” this means your beat could possibly get played for G Unit artist.
Last night was my 3rd time tuning in. On the first night I only caught a few minutes. Tony Yayo sat in choosing a few beats that he wanted to use from the producers who participated. The second night I sent 2 beats. They were constructively critiqued. I was very excited. 1 beat got an A, the 2nd they suggested I work on the drums, adding that the sample was cool. Another night they had a special guest producer Jake One, who gave us tips and pointers.
They are keeping it fresh usually adding something new each week, or having different guest on. Right now they are choosing producers for a battle. I am happy to say that “AHK” and “3rd Infantry” producers who inspired me get started, blew them away with some hard hitters last night. Both from Baltimore, made the first pick to be in the battle. Check out Ahk’s Mypsace, and 3rd Infantry Productions to listen to their music.
O.k now all of the regular readers, here is your chance to make something big happen. To find out when they will hold sessions Follow on Twitter:
They are trying to do it each week either Wednesdays or Thursdays between 8pm and 11:30- ish pm eastern time
I will tell you to bring your A game! Send in your BEST beats or songs only. Send high quality MP3 formant ONLY. Be sure your mix is great and DRUMS are knocking HARD!!. For those who love to go outside the box, don’t go to crazy with it. Keep in mind that this is G Unit, imagine a G Unit artist rapping over your beat. Wishing you much success with this!
