MURS Meet + Greet at Loyola U. New Orleans (Pics)

I would buy a ZUNE if…

If I had a PC.

If I didn’t have an Ipod.

If I needed an MP3 player.

I’ve had a few chances to play around with ZUNEs and can honestly say, I would buy one if I had the chance.  In reality, it is hard to compete with the Itunes/Ipod double knockout, but Microsoft and ZUNE do a very commendable job.  The video player is excellent.  The look and feel of the ZUNE player is superb.  My only gripe, like many is that it is not ‘open.’  By this I mean, millions of people that download music on Itunes cannot use the Zune, let alone use it with a Mac.  Now that Intel chips are in everything: Macs, PCs, cell phones… Don’t you think its time for ZUNE to open up?  These are just my random thoughts.

If I was a PC user, I would definately get:

HP touch PC, ZUNE, and use Amazon to download my music (wait I do this anyways!)ZUNE.net
OH YEA, Check out the Murs custom Zune player, Pretty Sick (they’re giving one away at the MURS meet+Greet at Loyola!)

MURS + ZUNE

Ladies and Gentlemen,
Welcome to the new Music Industry.  If you have been under a rock for the past few years, Rappers are doing deals with Mountain Dew, Tours are being supported by Ipod Rivals, and Diddy has his own Vodka.  This indeed is the new music industry.  The question still remains how underground and unknown music artists can take advantage of corporate sponsorship.  Yes, artists like the Cool Kids have struck deals with EA Sports, Rhapsody, and Mountain Dew,  But they have been expanding their online empire for a couple years now.

ON THAT NOTE….

MURS, underground hip hop legend-turned-major-label-signee, will be having a meet and great at Loyola University in New Orleans today.  Expect full updates tomorrow with pictures, audio, and video!

Drumma Boy Interview!

Part 1: The Past

I had the opportunity to sit down and talk with hit making platinum uber producer Drumma aka Drumma Boy at Patchwerk Studio in ATL.  CHECK IT OUT!!!

HiphopDX finally releases the REMIXTAPE ft. Rockwell

HipHopDx Presents We Invented the Remixtape

Yea…. They said it would be out in April… Good job guys. And you wonder why all the reviews say its wacK!? The songs are from late 07. Remixes done in late 07/early 08 and now they expect people want to listen to 10 month old radio hits remixed?! GTF

Where did Rockwell Go?

I haven’t gone anywhere just so you know.

I’ve been working hard!

The blog has taken a backseat in order to focus on more pressing matters.

First of all shout out to Paasky&Sanchez.  I manage this hip hop group and have been hard at work trying to make them famous.  Website coming soon.

Second of all, I’ve been traveling a lot to Atlanta for events…  Such as an inverent with Drumma Boy.  Preview coming soon.

Third, I’ve been approached by a few very talented people to work on their projects.  Sonny Vito and I will be working on a heavily themed mixtape soon (I’ll be producing a portion of it along with Alex White).  Preview and website coming soon.  Singer Riva Precil and I will be working on an E.P. exploring R&B, soul, rock, and hip hop styles.

And Finally, I will be doing some work with SIKKIS clothing very very soon!

So as you can see, Its been a busy week.

56 Bars – T.I.

A couple days old, but I just heard it.
Produced by the World Famous DJ Toomp!

Kidz in the Hall + Estelle = Love Hangover

Awesome video.

I think Estelle has more staying power than Amy Winehouse, mostly because she’s almost guaranteed to live longer (…a lot longer).
