Video: J.Cole x Jabari – #ArtistAdvice

Tuesday, July 21st, 2009

Gotta give Jabari a hat tip for this one. Great idea homie, some of these artists out here need it desperately.

Says him:

I love doing these posts and I hope we are helping all artists out there become better. I want to share advice not just from me but artists who are in the game and at various stages in their careers. First up is J. Cole. The young MC has a very promising future and he gives his insight on what all artists should remember. If you enjoyed this clip send J. Cole a thanks. Share your own artist advice on Twitter using the #ArtistAdvice hashtag.

In this clip, J.Cole speaks on building an online presence and remaining humble.

Video: Exile x VTech

Tuesday, July 21st, 2009

This dude never ceases to amaze me with his creativity.

Recently the Mochilla crew (http://mochilla.com/) came thru Exile’s home studio w/ VTech’s WiFi internet radio where one can have access to over 11,000 free internet radio stations worldwide. On the fly, Exile sampled sounds from their WiFi internet radio and made a beat, similar to how Exile constructed his recent release, “Radio” via Plug Research.

So yeah, this clip, while cool, is also effectively an ad for VTech’s new Wi-Fi internet radio. I have to admit though, that thing does look pretty nifty.

Grab an mp3 of the finished mix here.

Jet Audio’s Stand Alone Complex

Tuesday, July 21st, 2009

stand-front

“”Stand Alone Complex” contains 14 original tracks all produced by Jet, featuring many appearances by artists that comprise the makeup of the emerging New York City music scene. His intention was to create music that captures the minds of today’s new-New York scene, but also has the ability translate universally.

“A ‘Stand Alone Complex’ is an occurrence or mass hysteria for which nobody knows it’s true origin. I think it’s a testament to the careers of everyone on the project, including myself, because everyone here is quickly emerging and progressing. Nobody knows or understands why, but at the end of the day, we’re here, and not going anywhere.”
