Is Kanye West REALLY a Genius Producer

Sorry I havent posted in a while...

This is a Video blog I made exploring what I believe to be secrets behind Producers and Kanyes recent statement that he is the NEW Quincy Jones....enjoy... DISCLAIMER - This is NOT a diss/attack...more an observation and me highlighting some things you may not know.

MUZU TV VIDEO VOTE

My Dead Presidents 2010 (see post below) video was put up on MUZU for a video vote against the Gorillas WORLD Debut video (it didnt make sense to me that such a big video was being put up against little old me but whatever - I saw it as a challenge).

To my surprise, the video was viewed over 1000 times in under 6 hours and got over 30 "likes" and I WON the video vote and was put on the front page of the muzu.tv website the next day - thanks for your support!!

Lockdown TV Freestyle #1

X Factor - Jnay John Adeleye

No matter how many people criticize the xfactor, its one of those shows that we cant bring ourselves away from - we all watch it - at least the audition stages.  Imagine my surprise when I saw John Adeleye auditioning.  John is a very talented musician I know who has been on his grind for as long as I have! He is from round the way (I actually went secondary school with him) and he went by the stage name "Jnay".

You know the FIRST thing you say when you see someone you know on those type of shows is "DONT embarrase yourself bruv" and then "DONT sell out bruv".  John hasn't done either.  In fact, I can honestly say that he has made me proud to call myself a UK musician.  He showed his extreme talent, he presented well and he didnt compromise his style - needless to say he got through the audition stage - This is his performance in front of Louis and Sharon Osbourne at the next stage :



MIND BLOWING! His execution was amazing, was soo comfortable in front of them - he's a natural star - I hope the public can see that in him.  He's definitely got my support 100% - hopefully he's got yours too - we all complain about xfactor not bringing forward REAL talent - this is it so if you have NEVER voted before, PLEASE vote for this guy...

You are the one music video!

Nadine M Charles is a very talented female vocalist who happens to also be good friend of mine.  She has just put out a video for her upcoming single "You are the one" out 4th October.

I know from personal experience that it is VERY hard to even put a music video together almost completely independently let alone be successful in its execution.  I think Nadine has managed to do both and so a big thumbs up from me for this one - plus I LOVE this tune.  Take a look - P.s watch out for my cameo ;-)



Check me and Nadine in the studio last year working on a lil somethin!!

Eddie Kadi @ the 02 Opening Act Videos!!!

Comedian "Eddie Kadi" made history last night by being the first black comedian to perform at the O2 Arena (capacity 20,000!).  It was an amazing and inspirational event to see someone achieve so much - big shout out to Eddie Kadi.  I was fortunate enough to be in the first few rows so I thought Id film some of the uk acts who were given the opportunity to open the show - all acts I respect - Clement Marfo and the Frontline, Meleka, and Smiler enjoy the clips below:

Clement Marfo &The Frontline :

P.S - Sorry the clips are so short but...next time, you should come and support...and come early! ;-)

Not the Stereotypical

You lot KNOW I dont really blog about anyone else but myself on this blog as im sure there's plenty of blogs you can get your music news without me regurgitating all the info here....BUT...I think this artist - Rian Peters is worth a mention.

He is a Uk Rnb Singer who has been grinding on the circuit for a while with a previous most noted tune with wiley called "Getaway".  Now he has just released his new video "Stereotypes".  Personally, I think the UK is missing a proper UK RnB star - its a huge gap...alongside a credible rapper making credible music (hint hint*) Rian could well possibly fill that gap...

I think Rian has executed this video very well - very good song, very good choreography - this is one we can be proud of and could sit well in the charts - So a big big up to Rian & shout out to his team Red Inc Management.  Check the Video!!

I luv live : Nothing Compares

The second song from my performance at I luv live on 26th July - the beat sounds low because the engineer turned down the band on the mics.....still sounds alright i think.....enjoy....

Completing Go 'Cisive

You may have seen a previous post a clip of when I started working on a song for my album called "Go 'Cisive". Well since then, ive completed the song but not before recruiting the services of "Revolutionary Zuri" - the Sax player in the band.

Those ol skool New Jack Swing type songs always use to have a brass instrument going on somewhere - I felt like my song needed that authentic feel - to sound like a sample when its not.  Think I nailed it....here's the process.

Footage : In-ci-sive @ Iluvlive

As you may or may not know, I performed at Iluvlive a few weeks ago.  I wasnt able to use the band I normally perform with, HOWEVER, I couldnt complain about the alternative - Dynamiks band.  They are Donaeo's band and they have performed with a whole bag of huge UK artists.  I did manage to get in Revolutionary Zuri on the sax from the normal band - and obviously, the talented Shakka on backing vocals.

The show went well, I think...got a few more supporters....here's footage the opening song - more to follow soon.

Labrinths response to my response!

If you've been checking the blog lately, you would know that I sent a response to a video that UK Producer Labrinth put online - here. (If you havent seen it, please click the link or this wont make sense!)

To my suprise, labrinth as sent a personal response to my response!!! Here it is - hilarious!!

Quick Catchup : Terri Walker

So I performed at "Off The Radar" on 31st July put on by AskyourGirl. Itwas like a "Lifestyle/uk fashion" exhibition/sale - decent day still....  I wouldve put up the video but the sound isnt ideal so I thought Id leave it.

Anyway, I bumped into the well respected female vocalist Terri Walker outside as she was performing there later on that day...




Im going to hold her to that....

Transmitting...

You have probably heard about the uberproducer "Labrinth" from the songs he produced and featured on with Tinie Tempah - "Passout" and "Frisky".  Not that many UK producers impress me like he has so as I do with all producers I like, I researched him on youtube only to stumble across my favourite type of video - a video of him in the studio which he put out in a transmission style... I figured if someone sends out a message, its only right to respond... Here's his video, followed by mine (please note, you NEED to watch both to get it AND its JUST jokes! )

UPDATE : AFTER YOU WATCH THESE, CHECK LABRINTHS FINAL RESPONSE!! HERE

Press update

So the photoshoot in the post above was for new press pics toward the buildup to my single/album release. As well as performing @ iluvlive on monday (video up soon), and being on the myspace front page, i've had a few interviews in some magazines!  Check out an in depth interview in a magazine ive wanted to be in for AGES...RWD MAG.  If you cant get hold of a hard copy, read the online magazine here.

AS WELL AS THAT, another very good (if I do say so myself) in-depth interview in Flavour Mag Its worth reading both as they are two completely different interviews :

New Single AND ALBUM - OUT AUGUST 2010

Coming soon....

Random creative moments

I guess this next video isnt as focused as most of them normally are in that its not about one particular thing.

I have most fun with music in the creation stages - to see music being created out of nothing or see and hear the development in a studio is one of the things I love MOST in the world - problem is, most of the time, people dont film that stage because...well you're busy being creative.

Luckily for me, Im so used to having the camera around that i've been able to capture random moments when I first made a tune or the first words that came to my head once the beat was done etc.  Watching the early stages back of a song, and then months down the line, having it on your album or performing it...I guess its my own version of watching my kids grow....maybe a bit too far but u know what i mean!!



So in order, we got:

1. Yasmin Baker in the studio working on her project - I put this in because watching yasmin develop as an artist, getting better and more confident everyday is a beautiful thing...I think shes got big things ahead of her...

2. Me a couple weeks back - I havent made anything for myself since I mastered the final album in march BUT I actually woke up with this song in my head...the whole thing..and HAD to make it so....it might even squeeze itself on the album..."Go Cisive"

3. Do it - this is the lead single for my album and the song that was reviewed in this months edition of Music week - this was me in the studio at like 3am after 6hours, completing the final mix...

4. Untitled - myself and donaeo after a studio session, he has this song in his head, and it just all comes out - would be nice to see how this one turns out if it ever gets completed - again, its just about seeing things in the earliest stages possible - imagine hearing just blaze beat box Jay-z's "public service announcement" before it was made - im not saying the song is anything like that but...u know what I mean!!

5. Album intro - again, this is the actual take I used on the album for the verse on the intro - this is my black album stuff

6.  Finally, this is myself, Shakka and the band playing a song called just wait which I originally produced in 2008.  This moved from an idea in my head, to a song in my bedroom, to a song done by a 7 piece band...hopefully its journey isnt over...

...just wait....

Behind the Scenes @ Donaeo's IM FLY Video shoot

I just got back from the Donaeo Video shoot for "Im Fly". As I hadnt eaten all evening, I couldnt sleep on an empty stomach so I threw something in the oven and quickly edited the footage I shot.

To be honest I didnt film HALF as much as I did for the party hard video shoot .  The proper behind the scenes is being done by Mo-aM so I thought Id leave them to it - at the end of the day, Im a Rapper - "I aint a blogger, I just film alot"

However, theres enough to get a gist of the shoot - and as result of waiting around and the need to entertain myself, a sneak peak into me out of my normal "Calm, 2 cool 4 school mode" - also, Danso - they ALL got curly hair?!?!....you'll see what Im on about.  Enjoy.

IF THE VIDEO STUTTERS OR PAUSES TOO MUCH, CHANGE THE "720 P" OPTION ON THE BOTTOM RIGHT (NEXT TO THE VOLUME) TO 480.

Listen to IM FLY here - available for download 19th July

Myish Does Ghana (Video Diary) PART 3

The FINAL Part in the 3 Part Series :

A quick background if you didnt see Parts 1 & 2:

A couple of weeks ago, Myself and some of the Myish team (Donaeo, Bucks, Reggie, and Dj Sai)went to ghana to for 6 days accompany Donaeo who performed at the prestigious Ghana Music Awards. I took alot of footage and didnt want to leave any out after a hardcore edit so ive cut it into sections....here's Part 3 of the footage:

Myish Does Ghana (Video Diary) PART 2

Following from the last post which was PART1 of the footage - this is PART 2 : A quick background if you didnt see part 1 :

The Rehersal Show Part 2

Following from the post below...heres part 2

P.s If it takes long to load or is stuttering, change the 720P option on the bottom right of the video to 480

The Rehersal Show Part 1

As you know, I performed a 20 minute set at 93 feet east on bricklane last week.  Unfortunately (and very unlike me) I forgot my video camera!!!  Fortunately, the lovely and very talented Nadine Charles not only came out to support me that night, but she also managed to film some of the show so check that out on her blog - http://www.nadinemcharles.blogspot.com/ .

ALSO - I did happen to film (Well left the camera on) at the rehersal the night before the show...so you get to see a full dry run of the set....as this is a rehersal, there may be mistakes etc but its all toward making good, real music...you can see shakkas back through most of it who assists with BVs, Me (obviously), Nicolas blackman on the bass and David on drums - Duncan "Street Focus" James is out of the picture on the right on lead guitar, so is "Revolutionary" Zuri on Sax and the lovely Yasmin Baker on keys...enjoy part 1...

P.s If it takes long to load or is stuttering, change the 720P option on the bottom right of the video to 480

P.p.s IF YOU HAVENT DONE SO, PLEASE VOTE FOR ME IN THE POST BELOW!!

Snoop Dog Remix ft Incisive & Shakka?

Myish Producer Vol contacted me the other day and told me he was entering a competition to remix a snoop dogg song but they only released snoops verse but left the others out (previously done by Kid cudi) so he asked me if I would fill in the gaps.  He has produced two bangers on my album so I agreed without question.

He sent me the beat, I loved it but realised the chorus was missing too, so I recruited Shakka to quickly lay something down and here it is. PLEASE TAKE THE TIME OUT TO VOTE (real email add required). Thanks

Sewuese : Video Diary & performance blogs

This. Is. Sewuese.

She is an AMAZINGLY hardworking, talented singer who happens to be on Myish.  She recently made a video diary of her musical escapades and I LOVE both the insight into what she does, and what she does.  This is actually part 2 of the video blog.  See part one here.  For me, this is inspirational, and entertaining to see her international grind - AND THE FULL PERFORMANCE AT THE END IS MINDBLOWING - she is definetely one to watch...Nothing but big things coming from her....

GET HER FREE EP HERE

Below is us in the studio working on a song  (Please excuse my poor backing singing!) - Theres a full video on that  (WATCH HERE ).
Nice one...

Incisive with full band @ Ahir Lorenzos (Footage)

(This is just a picture - click HERE for the videos then scroll down)

I performed on sunday 21st march at a spot in North Finchley at a night put on by a talented singer called Emele Michael . Im not gonna lie, the venue was slightly smaller than what im used to (not to sound like a snob but...its true!) but it had a nice vice/atmosphere and an intimate setting so I thought, what the hell - ima rock it like its wembley stadium - thats how you gotta treat all performances. It turned out, I REALLLY enjoyed this one...one of my favourites...

AKS @ The Cordless show

Click to watch video

I stumbled on an artist (rapper) called AKS last year sometime..cant remember exactly how(im sure he can remind me)..somewhere online...we got talking on the twitter and it turned out he had heard a track I had done a while back called London N.E.W.S with sway, J2k, and Baby blue and I guess he had a respect for me as an artist..cool....

I got his mixtape, "A Miracle in the making"  not soon after (download it HERE - right click, save target as...) and was blown away by his lyricism, skill and content...this dude really had something 'cause trust me, im not really one to be blown away... and through his own proactiveness, he's one of the VERY few artists that made it on my upcoming album so watch out for that track.

Fast Forward to now, he managed to get the highest votes on a well put together online show called "The Cordless Show" and therefore, got to perform.  Im not gonna lie, I actually saw this show when it FIRST started, like episode 1 and 2 when duke performed (AMAZING) and really wanted to perform on it but...politics...lol... Regardless, its had names such as Master Shortie, FDM (Fundamental), Bluey Robinson to name a few, and now AKS...and trust me, he did us proud! Bus Stop is my personal favourite... Click to watch

Bluey Robinson Live @ The Roundhouse (Video)

I got invited (shoutout to Mr LL!) to a lastminute.com showcase at the roundhouse tonight -  last minute for me that is...not lastminute, someone randomly thought to organise a show like..TONIGHT...anyway..

Yea, it was at The Roundhouse in Camden and had performances by Mclean, Marvell, and Bluey Robinson. (link for the video is just below)

Bluey Robinson is a UK singer who Ive been following for about 18 months now.  I cant remember how exactly I stumbled on his stuff but I do remember being blown away - instantly.  He had (and still has) videos on youtube of him going into train stations or on trains and just bareface singing for everyone....not busking..just bareface performing lol - he's bad - see the second video to see what I mean.

ANYWAY - This is his performance on the night - he's blatently got that star quality on stage that stood out that night - I hope he does well...4 real...
p.s - check mine and Shakkas random cameo, before "I Know" (Watch and see what I mean!)

If the video is stopping and starting too much, move the mouse to the 720p (next to the volume) and change to 320p.

..And here is him randomly singing in one of those videos I was talking about.  In this one, he's randomly singing in Harrods :

Nothing Compares Car Show REPOST

Ive got alot of feedback from people that have heard my mixtape (download it HERE! )and a popular song with everyone is "Nothing Compares".  The problem is, the mixtape version is just like a 1 minute snippet because the full version is going to be on my album - people always cuss the fact it cuts out so early - so here's a full version to keep you happy until you can get the album!!!




P.S - Regular followers - I KNOW ive posted this before but alot of new readers think my blog is just the one page and dont go BACK to the other pages and posts (Theres a tip - click "OLDER POSTS" at the bottom of the screen to find more!!

Eric Robersons Vocal Gymnastics Video

(Dont click the pic Thinking its the video!)

I first heard about him prolly about 3 years ago (shout out to Clay-are!) but never got the chance to actually see him perform, or even hear him, until this night. He's BAD. Stage presence, vocal ability, improv...the dude has got it ALL - I was actually BLOWN away...ima post him performing a couple songs soon but this video is him singing ...well..just click the "Read more" link below to watch the video....
