I Know You Got Soul: Looks Like UAD Multi-Media

What's up?

I was doing some reading online and I came across a blog by hip hop artist Quest, and his blog talked about how image was primary and the music was secondary. I found it interesting in the sense that he was talking about the marketability of the product an artist produces. Personally, I think that the other side of this is what makes your product stand out. What makes your product special? It's just like the music, what makes your song stand out amongst everything else? I thought the piece was good; but to me it should have been an all encompassing look at image(s) and the music. Now with that said, today I'm going to talk about the art work that all of you see with anything that we have been releasing.

Preston Kirton; founder of UAD Multi-Media has been doing my art work since I really started pushing my music seriously. When we were planning back in the last quarter of 2008 for the new year we talked about what we wanted to see that we were not seeing anymore in terms of the presentation of products in the urban market. Now for us, putting the pieces out on the table is the first step and then we talk about what we can do to make us stand out. Usually, it all starts with a concept or an idea. Once the idea is out there, everything just takes off. Preston will take it from there and just blow me away with the artwork.

There is a lot more to come from UAD Multi-Media this year so stay tuned and prepare to be amazed.

I'll be back more with on Sunday.

Until then, keep grinding.

Let's go !!!

Good Morning - Let The S.O.S. Campaign Begin

Over the next 4 weeks I will be doing multiple posts about the S.O.S. project. Covering everything from its initial concept all the way through who was involved and everything relating to the creative process.

We finished recording the project this past Sunday as I previously mentioned.

I will have another blog later on this evening going into more detail about the things to come in the following weeks.

Anyways, I'm off to the gym.

S.O.S. Update

What's good everyone?

I know I didn't give that blog update last Monday. I got into a zone writing wise. But better late then never. As you can see I've been trying to put the final touches on S.O.S. and get everything just right for the project. I am hitting you up before I hit the studio later to record the last batch of songs. Now, with that said, my team will be getting everything ready in the coming weeks. We will be leaking some new music from the project as well as promo records just to keep everything moving.

A Note about S.O.S.

The project was inspired by a lot of soul music and soul sounds used in the production that everyone sent me over the last 6 months. The project will feature 21 songs. It has a storyline to it as well as character arches through out the project. The writing process has been great, with each new record it felt like another piece to the puzzle had been added. The project Samples of Soul is all original production and is my most introspective piece of work to date. Before we release this project we are going to tweak it until we all feel it is perfect.

As we work behind the scenes, you all will be privy to seeing a track listing with all production credits (more on that next week), as well as hearing new music ) snippets and samplers)

With that said, I would like to thank everyone involved in the project (too many people to name but I will try next week). In each of the coming weeks I will spot light some of the people and companies involved in helping me put together this project.

I was online earlier and came across something that I know producers and djs have been digging for. It's not going to be Christmas for a minute but I have a Production Gift none the less.
