Blessings! I am a hip-hop artist, living in the Bay Area. I produce and remix house, hip-hop, and soul music. I've produced music for multi-platinum artists, your favorite underground mc's, and soul singers. I've also been DJing for over 20 years. I am primarily interested in sharing my art with you. If you are an artist, please feel free to email me with your page as I love hearing new music. I hope you will enjoy mine as well. I am also an MC, Poet, and a lover of the culture. My most recent solo work is "Hip-Hop Meditations" which you can find on Amazon, or iTunes or anywhere you buy good music. or you can just click on the image below.
I am currently working on several projects including the managing of our new label, Ocha Records with house legend Osunlade(Yoruba Records).
Current recording projects:
Afro-Cuban Bata (hip-hop/house) Exploration
Michael Spiro and I are executive producing this baby with contributions from Djinji Brown, Mark deClive Lowe, DJ Spinna, Osunlade, Vinia Mojica, Wale Oyejide, myself and Latin Grammy winner, Lazaro Galarraga. This should be finished in the next 3 months.
Los Carniceros
A spanish rap album produced by brilliant talent and Bronx native, Fero-Navi. Here, he and I give you a cross between the Beatnuts, Eminem and the Neptunes, but in espanol. Chock full of club and radio songs with light hearted content that often touch on social and politial issues without being preechy, and we promise, no reggaeton. This one should be finished in July 2009
A certain hip-hop legend's solo debut
Enough with the cameos and endless soulful, jazz inspired vocal lines and hooks. It's her turn, and gotdang it, we been waitin!! More on this soon.
Soulful and Deep House EP for Yoruba Records
I expect to have this done by the end of August of 2009
Ocha Records
A music label brought to you by Osunlade and myself. 'cause there is way to much good music out there that needs to be heard. Visit our myspace page.
I recently produced Sparlha Swa's album "In The Distance", and am currently executive producing South African producer, Mzee's debut album on Ocha as well as Dominican producer, Ezel's debut album on Ocha Records.
