Why Hiphop is the greatest genre

Why Hiphop is the greatest genre

I only have one reason why I believe Hiphop is the greatest genre of music.

To my knowledge Hiphop is the only genre of music that consistently introduces its listeners to other genres of music and artist. 

I'm a DJ so trust me I can post examples for days but I don't really feel like doing that lol. Instead I encourage you to take a look a your favorite songs new or old and see what they sampled via http://www.whosampled.com

As a matter of fact I will drop one gem on y'all from that new Jay Z Album 4:44

My skin is black My arms are long My hair is wooly My back is strong Strong enough to take the pain Its been inflicted again and again What do they call me My name is aunt sarah My name is aunt sarah My skin is yellow My hair is

Selector Battle Recap [ Major Glory ]

Selector Battle Recap [ Major Glory ]

Congratulations DJ Reg P enjoy that $150 💰💰 cash money prize! Enjoy that title of Supreme Selector while your djing Lyrical Rhythms at the end of the month! #SelectorDJBattle Witness the shift in culture as DJ's step into the public arena and showcase there skill.

Real Rap, Culture, and my guy.

As I grow as DJ and meet new people I'm starting to see that everyones idea of what a DJ is isn't the same. I believe that all DJ's should have the ability to showcase. It's important to put back into the culture we all benefit from when we call ourselves DJ's. Its about doing what you do best and showcasing your skills for the world. I think a lot of DJ's are apprehensive about battling because of the stigma attached with losing. Its not 1995 anymore lol it doesn't matter if you win or lose. Its about being authentic. If you call yourself a DJ you should have no problem showcasing after all you do it overnight you have a gig. Just condense your 5 hr set into 5 minutes. Just my opinion though.  

 

On another note my guy WSWDS dropped a nice little quick mix while we kicking it at his crib yesterday. I was like bro you need to quit playing and post that shit. Your welcome world. Enjoy The Pre Heat!

Following your dreams [waking dream creation]

Following your dreams [waking dream creation]

When thinking about keys to success the most important factor is doing something that you truly have a passion for. If you don't have a true passion for your craft you won't be willing to sacrifice the extra work and time it takes to progress. That's just my opinion though. On another note I'm excited about my new art work and hat I got from Waking Dream Creations. Check em out on IG @WakingDreamCreations 

This is the hat I got

I even wore it in the DMC Battle 💪😎

Support, support, support thats all you hear these days from artist. I feel you shouldn't have to ask for  support or tell people to do things. The product will speak for itself. When the product is right everything else will happen naturally. Focus on your product and perfecting whatever it is your selling. This applies to more than just music so pay attention. With that being said I've been working on a project with Hip-HopDigital.Com music hand selected not because of affiliations but because the product is A1. The product was RIGHT and we Supported!

Last night I had the opportunity to rock my guy Aaron James's release party. It was a dope, he definitely went the extra mile with his presentation. The one thing that our most to me was his stage presence and ability to control the crowd. I was definitely impressed. I'm excited to see what the future holds for my guy.  Check the project out on live mixtape.

Motivation, Memes and Opinions.

Motivation, Memes and Opinions.

I always wonder what motivates different people or why people have a lack of motivation. It never makes sense to me when I see people that are ok with losing. Maybe its my perspective but I'm not ok with it and I don't want those kinds of people around me. I don't need that energy around me. If your complacent take that somewhere else. I don't want that weak s**t rubbing off on me. 

 

It's rare to meet people that can truly find joy in another person experiencing success. Keep them fakes away from you. They just sap your energy, You can feel it when they are around. They always get real quiet when its time to talk about things of substance. Strategies to improve and grow. They try and poke holes in every idea you have without offering anything constructive to the conversation. 

 

I want to encourage anyone reading this to push themselves. It can be mentally, physically or anyway you can imagine but don't assume your already at your best strive to improve from wherever you are. Keep moving forward!

The Platform and a little advice

The Platform and a little advice

I had the opportunity to participate as a judge during at The Platform Concert. They had a lot of great prizes for the artist. I'm glad I could be apart of such a great event. Props to all the artist that put themselves out there and join the competition. It's not an easy thing to take a loss. It's not an easy thing to put your pride on the line and allow your art to be judged. Artist keep grinding, stay connected and build your brand because in the end it's just business.
