Video: Platinum Producer T Finguz Makes A Beat For Jay-Z!

I really haven't found anyone who chops samples like I do. And what I mean by that is I use a wave editor and freebase placement to make sure my samples are always on beat. I think it's more 2010ish, u dig? I never heard of this cat, but this beat is incredible & I guess it didn't make the american gangster album.

Omar Cruz wins the "Jam It or Slam It" contest on Latino 96.3fm!



So let me explain this... Every week night on Latino 96.3fm, David Rolas puts two songs head to head to compete to see who gets Jammed or who gets Slammed. If you win, your song gets played again the next night and goes up against a new record otherwise known as the challenger. Omar went up against a group I have never heard before which was the Champion for winning the night before.

Now the radio station lets the listeners vote by either mobile text messaging or calling the radio station. Last night they announced the winner which was Omar Cruz's new record called, "To the Top ft. Frankie J." Now Omar is the champion and went up against a new challenger last night. We won't know who is the winner till tonite @ 10pm, but hopefully we can go two nights in a row!

This song is off the "Respect It or Check It" street album that I produced. Lyrically he is one of my favorite artists right now in the whole rap game, next to Omar Cruz. Expect big things (NO HOMO) from Dout... Check him out on his myspace or you can download his street album here.

Video: Kanye In a Spinning Studio



Not only cuz of the spinning studio, but that song is ridiculous playing in the background. "My time will come, yours too..." I feel like that is being said to me directly. I wouldn't be surprised if Kanye ripped on that track... I dont know if I could make tracks in that room cuz I would probably get dizzy.. LOL! Shit like this makes me go into the studio and work my ass off.. Kanye is the man (No Homo).

Video: In the studio last night with Omar Cruz & Dout Gotcha!

Last night we were @ Flo Recordings in Santa Monica working on this crazy record i produced. Dout & Omar who have worked together in the past really did they thing again! You can hear the beat on the video but the whole record will be released later with a few more surprises!
