Stargate + Jay Z = StarRoc?

So everyone’s favorite Norwegian platinum production team is teaming up with Hov to create a label called StarRoc.
But I’m confused- Will this just be a production label? How will it actually operate? And what about Jay’s deal with Live Nation AKA RocNation? And what about Rockwell?! When do I get my deal?
Just kidding… but seriously, I need some more details. Cuz this is cool and all (giant producers work with giant artist to create ______ label), but what exactly is the deal?

Look at that Discography!!!!

PotLuckCon/UrbanEdge Recap Part 1

This weekend was a real eye opening experience for me.  As I’m sure it was for most of the people at PotLuckCon.  Its only Saturday (one more day of the conference), yet I feel really compelled to share some of my thoughts, feelings, and pictures with those were and weren’t there.

For now, I’m just going to say this.  A word of wisdom: If you care deeply about something and wish to be successful with it, you must do all you can to be as educated as you can.

That to me is what PotLuckCon was all about.  Gaining knowledge.  I can’t begin to tell you the amount of talent that was  in some of those panels and workshops this weekend.

Special thanks to Craig Schumacker for putting on the conference.

Also thanks to Reid Wick for helping to put on the Urban Edge panel- which was amazing.

Part 2 coming soon

M2M previews Trifecta

Trifecta was the first hip hop group that I interviewed here at M2M. The Trifecta mix tape is finally here. I was able to listen to it thanks to my roommate AKA Rockwell, who left a copy sitting in the common room. To be honest, I had very high expectations because I know how hard Rockwell has been working on this project and I have to say that I was blown away on all levels: beats, lyrics, production, etc. With their second project already underway, I see nothing but big things happening for this trio.

The group recently had a guest appearance on Crescent City Radios’ The Hip Hop Hour. Trifecta played some tracks for listeners and talked about The Sikkis and their upcoming project which is expected to be released in August 2008. It is my understanding that The Sikkis will be released on both TuneCore and iTunes soon. I have been listening to The Sikkis for two days straight and there are some great tracks, my personal favorite is track 13 (don’t have the tracks names!). The one track title I do know, “NO To The Bay”, features Loyola rapper G-Eazy. For more information check out Trifecta MySpace and Rockwell Beats.
