Krum’s new album “Blue Eyed Devil” is out and making waves. One of my favorite songs, Forget Me Not, is now backed by stunning visuals from Dallas, Texas artist, Jeremy Biggers.
I was happy to have the opportunity to add production to this song as well as mix and master this entire album.
Enjoy and share!
Finally!
My good dude, Krum, is finally ready to bring his music to the public. And, he has a lot of music to let loose.
Krum released Loose On Earth as a small taste of his forthcoming full album entitled, Blue Eyed Devil. I’m excited to have mixed and mastered this project. Can’t wait for you all to hear it.
As for Loose On Earth, I’m loving this vibe…powerful…transparent…and even testimonial.
Check it out below and look forward to more on the full album, Blue Eyed Devil. Word is there will be an ill video dropping too!

My dude Cas Metah is back again with a follow-up album to last year’s “Old Fashioned”. This year he hits us with a project entitled “Second Wind” which is a collection of remixes and a few new joints. The first to pop up is “Forget About It (Theory Hazit Remix)”. Theo compliments Cas is a strong way. This version takes some edge off the original but adds a lot with Theo’s signature drum swing and soulful sample chops. Props to both dudes on this joint.
“Second Wind” has some ill guest verses from legendary emcees like Craig G, Blueprint, Casual, & Wordsworth.
And, like last time, I had a hand in it with mixing and mastering all but one song. So, get a peek at the freshness to come Dec 9th via Soulspazm by checking out the new video.
It’s cool how when you build good working relationships things start to snowball. I’ve collaborated with Ohio veteran hip-hopper, Cas Metah, since the early 2000s. Through him, I connected with another Ohio notable emcee, Griffin of the Tunnel Rats. Griffin recorded vocals with my current spotlight, iNTELLECT. So, from the cuts I did for Griff, iNTELLECT reached out for cuts of his own. But, the colab didn’t stop there. He saw one of my beat sales and over time he gobbled up some choice jams.
Around the time I began producing with Krum (FKA Playdough), I began stretching my production outside of raw hip-hop. That was awesome, but I still need my sampling fix in the meantime. I’ve alway been a big fan of soul samples thanks to the likes of Pete Rock, RZA, Just Blaze & 9th Wonder. So, finally, in my 30s, I really tightened my focus on soul records while digging. Beat-makers know that flipping soul samples aren’t particularly challenging. But, the feeling you get from a good chop with hard drums is un-matched.
So, here we are a few years later, and something finally came out, hahahaha.
Ohio emcee, iNTELLECT, crafted 8 thought provoking and Holy Spirit empowered songs on his album, ROOTS. I did the beats – he did the raps. I also got a couple of cuts on it too. We even grow strong together on the engineering tip…he mixed – I mastered.
Pick it up on iTunes, Google Music & Soundcloud. Peep a choice cut “Family Portrait”
You HipHop guys are in for a treat with this new album for Sebastian Hochstein titled “Name Dropping” released on illect Recordings. Sebastian (formally known as Jaq) is a seasoned beat-maker from Germany. We’ve worked together on collaborative albums with JustMe, Shawn Lov, and Scribbling Idiots. This time I cooked up a scratch hook for the song “Gargantuan Pillars” that features Dood Computer, Masai, & Sev Statik.
Derek Minor’s back with an anticipated new album “Reflection” which is already making waves on iTunes. Check out the song “Judo” featuring your dude on the cuts. I’m feeling this jam and I hope you feel the same.
So, here’s the video for his first single, “Until I’m Gone” featuring DJ the Chicago Kid.
Texas emcee, Prynce P, brings an ambitious vision together on his magnum opus, “14” which features a huge list of big musical collaborations. With features like Lil Flip, Paul Wall, Mr. Pookie, Spice 1 etc. you can’t do wrong for the grown heads. Props to Prynce P, and I’m happy to be featured on two songs, “The Dynasty” and the title cut, “14.”
Peep this promo mix I did with Prynce for the album release.
