Producer Challenge Ep. 2: Juicy the Emissary

Dope beat-making video, but better footage of Juicy the Emissary's home studio. In case you ain't knowin', Juicy the Emissary is the mastermind behind the impeccable Attention K-Mart Choppers (Street Corner). Juicy also recently released Timber! on Street Corner Music.

Alchemist - Secret Sauce (Behind The Beat Video + Alchemist Drum Kit)

Beyond ill promotional video for ALC's Secret Sauce Drum Kit. All sorts of glimpses into Alchemist's home studio, production equipment, etc... Always been a fan of Alchemist's production, but I've really been a fan of his more stripped-down style that his been more prevalent since the release of Russian Roulette.

Rhythm Roulette: Daringer

Daringer and the whole crew(s) of Griselda affiliates have been in constant rotation in my headphones for about a year now (Yes, I was a little late to the party). FYI I'm 99% sure this isn't Daringer's home studio. For pics of Daringer's home studio go HERE.

Rhettmatic Got Beats Video

Promotional video for Rhettmatic's recent release, Rhett Got Beats. Video contains all sorts of good footage of Rhett's home studio and equipment.

Live from the Streets: Ol' Dirty Bastard

Mr. Green is f*cking ill.

'Russel Jones aka Ol' Dirty Bastard was born on November 15th and he passed away on November 13th. Every year, his family and friends wish that more people celebrated these dates. The Live from the Streets crew and ODB's family have teamed up to create a special episode out of old VHS tapes. The episode drops to celebrate the legendary artist and to remind people to always remember this week as both a high and low point of hip hop culture. In the end, we all need to celebrate the legacy of ODB.'
Huge thanks to ODB, Momma Cherry, Rza, Ashley, Barson, Menace, Missery, Icelene and of course Sean the White Rapper for making the whole thing happen. RIP to the legendary ODB, he will never be forgotten.
P.S. More ODB tributes are in the works... stay tuned. If you are on the east coast, his family is throwing a one of kind tribute show in Brooklyn on November 18th... buy tickets here: http://bit.ly/2f1KhiS
**Please share this video with your friends, family and everyone who you think would appreciate it. We don't have any record label, media company, tv network or marketing budget so we need people to spread the word.**

In a related note, Stoney mixes coming soon featuring Guru, Rakim, and ODB. What is a Stoney mix? You will soon learn.

All sorts of glimpses into Dibia$e's gear and beatmaking process. Dibia$e starts beatmaking around the 16 minute mark.

DJ Premier Making A Beat In Studio

Footage of Premo making a beat in studio. You can see the difference between Premo's 94-95 production (Hard to Earn, Group Home, Jeru's first two albums) and most of his production since Moment of Truth. Mid-90s Premo would have left that original drum break (that you hear at the very beginning of the video) alone. The Premo of the Hard to Earn era would have left that drum break naked, and only added a few sample chops for the melody. As you can hear, Premo's more recent production style adds all sorts of "bells and whistles" to the original drum break, causing it to sound overly formulaic (IMO).

Lord Finesse's Home Studio

More Lord Finesse for your Wednesday morning/afternoon.

Diggin' in the Crates: D.R.U.G.S.

Street Corner Music's D.R.U.G.S. goes through his record collection as well as flipping a few samples. Parts 2&3 after the jump.

The Drum Broker Presents - Behind The Beats with Marco Polo

Very detailed, in-depth look at Marco Polo's beatmaking process.

FACT Magazine's Against the Clock - MNDSGN

As is the beatmaking process, the video is a little slow. With that said, most of you will likely enjoy the thorough views of MNDSGN's home studio along with his beatmaking process.

Against the Clock is a series where we give an artist 10 minutes in the studio and see what they come up with. You can watch all the past episodes here.
In this episode, we linked up with Mndsgn (pronounced “mind design” – it’s a reference to a Nas lyric, in case you were wondering) in his Los Angeles home studio.
Although he’s settled on the West Coast, and its sleepy sound fits his sleepy keys like a glove, Mndsgn was born in the Philippines, where his parents formed part of the Aum Supreme Truth Cult. The Cult’s ventures into terrorist activity caused them to flee the group in the late 1980s, and after being granted political asylum in the US they settled in rural New Jersey.
Since moving West, Mdsgn has signed to Stones Throw Records, who released his debut album Yawn Zen last year. He’ll be taking his twinkling fingers (check that bird’s eye view!) to London later this month, performing for Soundcrash on May 30.

Surock Makes a Beat on the SP-1200

Been a minute since I last posted a beat making video. You SP-1200 heads will enjoy this because most of the beat making is unedited, so you can see quite a bit here. Parts 2&3 after the jump.

Knxweldge Live in the Dungeon

I post this for two reasons:

1. Knx is that dude and Hud Dreams drops today.

2. I desperately need to know where that Mobb Deep vocal sample is from. I've been trying to track that down since the Fantastik 4our show used it on one of their intros, but have no idea where it's from. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thing Leaves The House - Record Store Day 2015

Everything you all love; home studios, beat making, and crate diggin'. Enjoy. You can hear the results HERE.

Running an independent record label in 2015 is a tricky, (and some would say foolish) task. It is of course, a privilege to be given the responsibility to get an artist's music out into the world, but the label's side of the job is more about spreadsheets and sales ledgers than champagne and cigars. That is why last year's Record Store Day was genuinely one of the most memorable and important days in the life of First Word. We released our first RSD release - Nothing Leaves The House, a project that was dreamt up on RSD 2012, and finally shared two years later. Unlike most records we release, we were able to be there as music fans discovered the record in the shops - an experience that was inspiring, humbling and ever so slightly addictive.
So we were always going to return with part two in 2015, this time with a twist. A year on from the day the trio of Eric Lau, Tall Black Guy and kidkanevil visited Mr Thing's collection to sample his records (where nothing could leave the house), we gathered them at London's Love Vinyl record shop where he had brought one record from his collection for each producer. Their challenge was to make a beat from the individually chosen records: the results massively exceeded our expectations. Originally Mr Thing was going to make a track from something in his collection too, but the three producers decided that he should go through the same process as they would. They picked a record from the racks of the shop (they had to find one he didn't already own first) and his beat was created from that. The result is 4 tracks that truly capture the personalities of each producer, and a record that is born out of a heartfelt love of records - we hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed making it.
We'll be back for round 3 in 2016...

Learn From Legends: 88-keys

88 speaks with Rodney in his own Manhattan pre-production studio overlooking the bustling blocks of the city, 88 explains how he took a mere three-word piece of advice from Q-Tip amidst the A Tribe Called Quest era, and mined a lasting career. The former record store clerk from NYC applied his passion for music and soon got to work with a rarely-boasted specific piece of equipment. 88 explains how it was his own naivety that would ultimately prompt him to hone a specific style that was all his own.
Heads can see that 88-Keys’ turntable shows it age and wear, and the self-proclaimed sampler surrounds himself with sonic sources (the records that stack up from the floor). Shopping beats to Jay (care of Beanie Sigel) in the growing years of Roc-A-Fella Records, 88 explains how Jay Z works so efficiently that two takes is often not necessary. The “No Church In The Wild” producer compares that against his longtime friend Kanye West, who has methods that demand “extreme amount of concentrated thought in every aspect of the song that you’re working on.” The world that the producer uses to describe the Watch The Throne results (or respective solo catalogs): “flawless.”
Just as he alluded to in the recent Cipher Show interview, the man born Charles Njapa recalls trading equipment tips with J Dilla, especially surrounding the then-newly-released Akai MPC 3000. Those reportedly secrets remain integral to Keys’ work today.
Once a beat tape-shopper, 88-Keys explains pushing boundaries into today, now creating compositions that he says, “change lives” if they work. A Head to the fullest, music certainly changed 88-Keys life, and as the series shows, Rodney’s too.
As Rodney Hazard has done with each previous installment (see: Da Beatminerz, M.O.P.’s Lil Fame and J-Zone), he applies the lessons from these legends into a fresh mix of his own. Teaming with Atlanta, Georgia-based sensation Rome Fortune (a relative of Cannonball Adderly and co.) and Jon Waltz. “It’s Mine” (included on Victim Volunteer) definitely has the full-bodied, aim-for-heavens approach heard in 88-Keys. The lessons were definitely received.
