New Respect For DJ Khaled

I say that cause as much as I respect what he has done until now, I never thought he was really pushing the envelope as a DJ/Producer, good things take time though right. No one starts at the top, everyone is underground before their overground. When I saw the track list for his latest offering I thought, oh yeah, get NaS on deck to expand your audience, he has been featuring for everyone, Ross, Jada, Dre, just to name a few, but he exceeded my expectations with this song. Not only has he solidified his status as one of the most credible DJ's in terms of who hes able to get involved with his music, but hes got them doing something different, not a cliche 16 bar verse in the case of NaS, see what I mean here. I don't know how many bars NaS spits but Khaled got him doing what he does best, spitting l-y-r-i-c-s, & anyone who enjoys listening to NaS will really appreciate this record if they give it a chance.

NaS & Damian Marley's First Single From Distant Relatives

One of my NY resolutions is to stop illegally downloading shit (streaming is OK), so far, its been a piece of cake. I figured if I'm not prepared to pay for it then its a waste of time. You can listen to 30+ seconds of most songs from the majority of online music outlets, that's if you can't find a steam of course. I've also substituted downloading for online radio streams, there is lots of awesome shit out there, from local frequencies to New York's famous HOT97, Sirius Satellite radio & heaps more. I'm also paying more attention to mixtapes again so no doubt I'll be posting some up. Anyway here is NaS & Damian Marley's first single from their collaborative project 'Distant Relatives' titled 'Strong Will Continue'. Remember support the artists, illegal downloading is destructive.

Monster Beats By. Dre. Brings Diddy Into The Fold

For Diddy Beats & a new range of the Beats by Dre headphones, including the new Spin model which have been modified to compliment DJ's & producers alike. I got me a pair of these in 2009 & if you want to talk about "Seeing Sounds" or "Theatre Of The Mind" this is how to do it.
