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.

Currensy FIN – this can’t be the last one…?

Can it?

From a marketing/promo perspective this is pure genius. Put out a lot of material in a short amount of time, and then say your finished. FS Jets tapes on the way. And I smell a record deal and major label album being dropped by Currensy in 2009. Who wants to take bets?

Currensy FIN!

New Track Called Upper Deck (In & Out)
AND….

Atlantis Music Con was the SHIT

Ok, I had a super busy weekend in ATL and have some great news!

Atlantis/Remix Hotel was the bomb.  Met a lot of great people, heard a lot of great music, and best of all was inspired to work harder than ever.

I will have exclusive video from some panels, a freestyle from an up and coming MC, pictures of famous people, and in the next week an interview with a Platinum urban producer!

Please stay tuned cuz there will be a TON of new and exclusive content.  And as always I will be bringing you my commentary on music industry news, new music, and the Insider scoop!

Is Currensy the Next Up in New Orleans?

As many of you should already know, New Orleans is not lacking in talent. Especially when it comes to the culinary arts, the brass band arts, and the spittin’ arts.

The Hot Spitta A.K.A. Currensy is an industry vet who was signed with New Orleans’ two largest record labels No Limit and Cash Money/Young Moola. Always left to play second fiddle in each label- featured artist with 504 Boyz (Wobble Wobble anyone?) and featured artist to You Know Who. Neither label seemed to fit his true persona, it seemed in order to fit in with each label’s majority he had to adjust his flow/style…. Currensy-… (Addiction Remix)

Next Up in the N.O. - Paasky & Sanchez with Currensy

But its no surprise that after a series of amazing mixtapes,(can you say Fear and Loathing in New Orleans?) he has garnered a huge amount of publicity and buzz in the blogosphere. His last mixtape FIN (why, Currensy, why?), is set to drop soon.
I believe Currensy has a chance to go further than he is currently. He’s affiliated with Fly Society, a skate-inspired clothing line/crew that includes skater Terry Kennedy. However, Currensy’s recent push with his once-a-month mixtape reveals that Currensy is not getting any younger (I believe he’s 28) and in a culture obsessed with youth it is hard to hide your age, even when you look really young. With all that aside I’m co-signing Currensy as one of the next up in New Orleans (and the world), but also pointing out some cats that Currensy himself is co-signing- Paasky & Sanchez.

Musictomarketing.com Shows love for Trifecta

Thanks to Johnny over at MusictoMarketing.com (M2M for short) has written a really positive Preview of TRIFECTA presents Paasky & Sanchez: The SIKKIS.
Shout out to Coco and Freret!
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.

A little taste of things to come….
