THE SHAKEDOWN

Not that Mos Def needs any sort of validation on his place in music, but when a Legend like Carlos Santana decides to cover one of your songs, it definitely says something. Check it:

Another track to take you back.

The original version of Sara Smile by Hall & Oates is an amazing song, PERIOD. Now, when it comes to live covers, this Brian McKnight version that I came across on YouTube gives it a good run for its money.

Here’s Hall & Oates doing their own song, but I think I’d rather listen to the recorded album version.

Just running through some old music, so I thought I’d trow this up. Came across the director’s youtube page. A popular sentiment when ever this some comes up is: “damn this song brings me back!!”

I’ve been lagging on this one. So let’s skip the details. Just download it. Moombathon mix from the family MTRDVSN (formerly know as NSquared).

I hope you can all make it out for another Sugar Foot Friday at Verdugo Bar.  This time we’re bringing along a good friend, Vise Versa from the group Deux Process.  If you scroll back in the blog, you can check out the music video for “Story of My Life” that I shot for them not too long ago.  We’re gearing up to shoot a new video for their track Ballad of Lost Angels (which you can download at the bottom of this post).  I figured, what better time than now to bring out the homie to rock a set with us!  Be sure to look out for their new album “The Price of Dreams” coming soon!

We’re all pretty proud of this one! I met Chief and Vise Versa years ago from the homie Downlow. A while back we got to talking about doing a music video. We did one for a different song (which we still have on file), but when we came up with the ideas for this one, we got to work. I produced, directed, and edited it myself. I shot a little bit of it, but had a lot of help from Res, Denkym, and Rodney. All music guys who happen to be nice with a camera too, so I knew we were in good hands on that end. Thanks to Cygnet too for making sure that we didn’t get hit by trains, and to Downlow for a couple of the locations. I can go on and on about this one, but I’ll keep it short. Check for Deux Process on iTunes, check for the upcoming videos that we have in the works, and please, please, please, pass on this link and share it with all your people too. Thanks!!!

Here it is… our video for Story of My Life, featuring Young Rook, and track produced by G-Rocka and Medi.

If you don’t know who Xeta Jones is, just scroll down a few posts.  And…. If you’re into this new Moombahton trend, be sure to grab this one:

My  buddy Hey Mesa sent me another Moombathon remix.  He’s working on a side project called Xeta Jones, with Quix-05.  If you check my page fairly often, then you’ve seen other tracks from Hey Mesa, and you’ll know that I’ve know the dude since second or third grade and we started DJing together when we were 14.    Quix, I met at Scratch Academy, sometime when I first started.  I found out that he pretty much does what I do.  Video Editor/DJ.  I had no idea that they knew each other, and now, they’re working together.  This is all irrelevant in regards to the track.  How bout you just download it.

I’m about a month behind on this one.  (Had some technical issues with the bolg, and I’m just getting caught up).  Anyways… T Lopez:  I first met her when she was with Soluna, and I was on the street team at Hot 92.3 (Shout out to the Hot Squad, and thanks to Ronnie Jr for this nine year old picture!!)

Then… When I started working in television, for SiTV, and I edited this show called The Drop.  T Lopez ended up becoming one of the hosts:

Now I work on this show called LatiNation. When we were looking for a new host, T’s name came up, and of course she had my vote!

So pretty much, she’s like family now. Our careers have crossed paths several times close to the last decade.

OK… enough back story… The point of this is to tell you about her new record. She’s been signed with Cash Money Records for a little while, and I’m happy to finally see something coming out. Its a pop record, you can dance to it, her vocals are on point, and there’s a guest spot from Lil Wayne. That’s pretty much the certified radio stamp of approval right there. Download it!!! Pass it on!! If you’re a DJ.. then play it. If you’re a listener… request it!!! Just click below to download it.
