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.

Anybody looking for graphic design work of any sort you can reach him on Myspace: http://www.myspace.com/urbanangeldesigns

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 !!!

I Know You Got Soul: Updating The Next Level

What's going on everyone?

I'm back and boy is there a lot of new things to talk about; this past week has been amazing. The question is where to start? Should I start with the placements, the interviews, the additions to the team, the new music, or the downloads?

We'll started with the updates on Second Renaissance. Since we dropped it at the top of the year, the song has really picked up in the last 2 weeks. Now the record is doing incredible and has been added to blogs, mix tape djs are requesting it, as well as record pools and mix shows are adding it to their rotations. Second Renaissance to date has been downloaded over 23,000 times. Now to really push the record to the next level we have partnered with Mp3 Waxx. Today they will launching their email blast campaign for Second Renaissance. On top of that, I have been talking with Lee Uno about us putting together a visual for the record... More on that, as the details come together.

Dub City Chronicles is the next project we released in Feb. I just got the numbers from everybody and right now Dub City has over 35,500+ Downloads. I was speechless when I got the numbers from everyone. I would like to thank everyone for helping push this to the masses and really get it out there. Since the year started we been leaking a new release from the project each week. After the record came out, we continued and in between sometimes dropped an additional record to give you fans more music. Now the campaign for Dub City is winding down, we will be dropping a song a week this weekend and next weekend before we fully move onto to S.O.S. is which is on deck next... Get ready for that.

As you can see through all the feature pieces on the blog, you are getting to see some of the people who are involved behind the scenes. I've got a few more pieces coming on this blog featuring other producers as well as some insight to our multi-media team.

There is much more going on that we are planning to bring everyone. New artwork, new promotional music, as well as a new campaign and we will also be doing a physical version of S.O.S. Those are just some of the other things that are in the works. We have added producers, directors, and more media people to really take everything up a notch as we march into June. Everything is really rolling and I would like to thank everyone for their support.

Come back tomorrow for my next feature in I Know You Got Soul.

With that said, it's the L.I.R.I.X. signing off !!!

I Know You Got Soul: Feels like Sinima

What's going on everyone?

I know I didn't give you a blog yesterday my meeting(s) went a little late last night but today I got someone else who I would like to talk about. He's a producer in New York and he has been doing his thing down there and has his internet hustle on smash. The producer I'm talking about is Sinima. We did a record for S.O.S. called Little Black Clouds which is one of my favorite songs off the upcoming project.

This goes out to anyone who is looking for diversity or something new production wise. Get in touch with Sinima via his Soundclick page: www.soundclick.com/sinima.
Take it in, and I am sure you will find something on there that moves you one way or the other. His page has all his contact info on there. Get at him if you need heat.

Don't worry now, I'll be back over the next couple days with some more S.O.S. updates. I've got some very big things happen over the next week. So stay tuned for that.

Next up: Features on Preston Kirton and UAD MULTI-MEDIA, Trini & JD and Reewine Enterprises, as well as producers Hi-Fly from Switzerland and Neilof SoFull Music from London, England.
