Now...This is what a producer goes through.

I took out this cat's name cuz I ain't the one to put someone CrazY on blast, but i will put this on regular blast. Nothing personal to you bruh, really. I hope the same success that i mentioned in our AIM convo, but damnit, when will niggas stop f**kin playin themselves. Just peep. It starts off with me simply making a joke about entering a contest, only to end up congratulating this person who I have known for a some years, but has never been my homie, close friend, even affiliate. I don't call him to chill or hang out, or expect him at my bday party.Just a cat around the way doing his thing thats gets respect when Im out and about. Read.

Rapper/BattleHost Changed status to Idle (1:52:12 PM)
and never returns.


notice there's no "thanks man" response to me congratuling him. Just goes straight for the jug my man. BEATS. Soon as i say bring up dough, nigz disappear. Atleast have the decency to say "no doubt, i aint got that" or "i wasn't looking to spend much dough" or something.

THIS IS WHAT I DO FOR A LIVING. THIS IS MY CRAFT! who goes to college to be an engineer, to work for free????
WHO?
man i gotta pay rent, phone bills, heat bills, electro bills, water n all that sh*t, and it aint cheap in BK, NY.

Steele of Smif n Wessun n Yuk

In the lab this friday. Should be great. I should have some kinda video of that up afterwards, but once again, like the previous video, it won't be for long.

I have been doing a lot of mixing lately, some for Butta Verses up n coming album to be released on Domination Recordings, and others ranging from Bollywood Movie scores to new artists on Pharrell's Star Trak label. Its been an interesting first month in my new home in Brooklyn. I see a lot outside of my window i've never seen outside of a window, cuz i've never lived on a main street in my life. Here, I've seen anything from random beatdowns, to not-so-sane people yelling "helicopter!" over and over again, to the same old lady asking me for change 1531413 times a day, and not reallizing im the same person. Some of these things we had in Memphis, but some of this stuff is just strange. The 4th day i was in this apt, i saw a man fall from like the 20th flight of some building in the distance, then another man fall right after him. The first man died (rip) and the second lived. I have also seen snow go 100% horizontal....and not FALL at all...just fly to the left...down the street. Butta V also saw something flying from the sky around midnight one night. The sincerity in his face and eyes led to me believe somethin was about to go down!....its all good though.

And now a message from one of our sponsors:

Quotables.

"NeMo i need some of that food brother. You got me on that? Get me some beats!" - Spliff Star @3:47am


Is it me or do cats take themselves wayyyy too seriously man. More and more i see it. I aint saying be the most modest "let a brother get the shirt off ya back" type of person, but damn, don't let YOU trip YOU up.
It aint that damn serious.

....At least dont do that where im from:)

Random thought: If it was up to me, I would never show my face in this rap sh*t. I'd just be a sillouhette (spelling?) of myself. Rap dudes is so caught up in themselves man. So caught up, when you reach out, they deny you, not knowing who you are and what you bring to the table. AND THESE DUDES IS NOBODY. Sillouhette huh? hmmmm... You know what, thats not a bad idea.

....
hmmm....**wheels are spinning**



AND ...
a pic for the road....TzaRizM, J-Zone, Critical, and ....IMAKEMADBEATS.

NEW PICS OF THE SHOOT

"NeMo I got some craazzyy ass shit for that crazzzzyy ass beat you sent me son!" - Busta Rhymes



this phone call made my year. If it wasn't for me being excited about the creation and distribution of IMAKEMADBEATS...i dont think there would be a reason to leave my home after that statement. Things like that still get me geeked. Music, I love it.

So yeah...what im about to put up here wont be up for long... real exclusive footage..catch it while you can. Now I'll see who is really sleeping.


Butta Verses has been up for a minute...and we been knockin out some craziness at Quad...hmmm...u know what...i dont wanna say much this time. I might spoil it, and i dont wanna do that.

In random Other News....last night i got a chance to work with the singer who sang "One More Time" for Daft Punk at Quad...and wow....what an experience that was man. Talk about your eccentric people....
Auto Tune at its greatest...and thats all i will say on that:)

Several Updates....Butta Verses, Black Milk, OSOTS Tour...and more...

This is the view from my living room on to Fulton St....it was snowing hardcore...i still went out to get the pina colada slushee. Real G's, fam.


Yeah its been a while since i've updated my blog, and there is a reason for that. I've been swamped with finishing a lot of things, one of the main things is IMAKEMADBEATS. Next tuesday, before Akrobatik's album release show in NYC, Black Milk and Butta Verses will be recording the lead single at Quad Studios. Looking forward to that:)

We have more official dates for the OSOTS tour....

March 31: Tallahasse
April 2nd: Jacksonville
