What up everybody. My production crew 4Shades, O-D, Katrah-Quey, G-Mo, M.anifest, (songwriting/vocals) has released our beat CD "Ubiquity" for free download. The CD features a bunch of instrumental tracks as well as some exclusive songs.
You can preview the tracks below on the imeem playlist and download them as well. Feel free to leave feedback. Enjoy!
That's me on the left with my guys D.A. from Chester French and M.anifest after the Chester French/Lady Gaga concert last night (3/23) in Minneapolis. Baraka and Max Drummey are also featured in the second part. Good times last night, all the members of the band and family were real cool, can't wait for the album.
SAM DAVIS AND THE GOSPEL ENSEMBLE- KEEP ON PRAISING HIM- LP- CADA RECORDS- 1981 Another genre of music I used to not check for was gospel. I was brought up Catholic, albeit very liberally, but it was a semi-traumatic experience nonetheless, so the idea that people could make good, or even funky music in a religious environment was entirely foreign to me. That is until I worked up the strength to check out a few gospel records that I was told were dope. It takes a little time getting used to hearing people sing about Jesus over some funky music, but I figured that I've been listening to obscenity laced hip-hop music for my entire life, so I can handle a little church talk in my music as well. The title track to this LP is dope enough to convert, no pun intended, even the most stubborn listener with a super funky bassline, some crispy claps, and nice piano chords. Check it out a slightly shortened version of "Keep On Praising Him" below. And by the way, I got a copy of this LP up on ebay this week (a little shameless self promotion).
I'm a music producer/record collector-dealer/dj/music fiend.
I run Soul Virgo Records (click the logo above to check it out). Feel free to hit me up with any questions about records or music requests and get at me if you live in the Twin Cities or Milwaukee and are into record digging/beat-making. Peace.
