The SMOKERS CLUB TOUR 2011 In ATL Featuring Method Man







Sunday November 13,  2011@The Masquerade Atlanta, Ga








There are a few things that Method Man wants to make sure everyone is clear on. First off, that he's matured and even grown as an artist. SPORTING a mouth full of gold teeth and an arsenal of memorable verses, Method Man is one of the most charismatic figures in rap today. Also known as Meth, Tical, Johnny Blaze, Hott Nikkels, MZA, and Iron Lung, the engaging MC has starred on hit singles and albums as a founding member of the hip-hop supergroup Wu-Tang Clan, solo, with current partner-in-rhyme Redman, and as a guest rapper on countless projects. On February 1, 2011, Curren$y signed a label deal with Warner Bros. Records for his imprint Jet Life Recordings. Covert Coup was his first project on the Jet Life Recordings imprint under Warner Bros. The album contained 10 songs completely produced by The Alchemist and was released on April 20th for free. Weekend At Burnie's was released on the June 28, 2011. Whoever said "Hip Hop is Dead" obliviously hasn't heard the spoken words of the 22 year old fresh out of Mississippi's womb, a constant movement of innovative beats and hypnotizing lyrics that keeps your ears fiendin' for the next track. Meridian, MS native Big K.R.I.T. has done more than established his place in the game, he's letting all MCs "overstand" that fact that he's not going anywhere anytime soon. K.R.I.T. is young enough to be ahead of his time and old enough to be just in time to resuscitate the corpse of hip hop.

Ghost Dogg & Ski Beatz (producer/beatsmith)







Ghost Dogg & 9th Wonder





The LRG concerts series stop in Nashville Sunday night October 9, 2011 hip hop was definitely in the building making for a great night of hip hop in the ville. The tour consisted of Freddie Gibbs, Tabi Bonney, Kid Daytona, Rapasody, with the heavy hitters Ski Beatz, 9th Wonder, Murs.  I spent about 20 minutes chopping it up with Ski Beatz talking about the dead president beat he made for Jay Z, SP 1200, MPC, Maschine, and fulture of music, etc. My first time meeting Ski Beatz a real down to earth brother (thanks for the drop). Now onto 9th Wonder a real laid back brother i didn't get a chance to pick his brain he did his dj set and Rapasody his artist on his label Jamala she went in and repped for the femcees in hip hop,  Murs had the crowd in a frenzy he did everything off of his 9th wonder produced collab 3:16 album including my favorite "bad man" this guy has alot of energy and he interacts with the crowd throughout his performance. posted GD

DJ Revolution: Demonstrates the use of the Serato Bridge feature that joins serato & ableton making it a lean mean remixing machine


In my 30yrs of djing I have seen the craft evolve from vinyl (is never going out style), cassette (i remember seeing djs dj with a two cassette deck technique), cds. Now we are in the lap top era (im a apple/mac guy just a heads up to the new djs if your are using programs Serato,Traktor,Torq i strongly suggest using a mac for any of the dj programs that i mention & if your wanting to start doing remixes, beats, etc save up and get you a mac its well worth it i hear to many horror stories like im setting up to dj and my sh*t just crash from djs that don't use a mac,and macs don't get virius) back to the topic at hand I'm having alot nowadays learning & keeping up with all of the technology that's coming out daily I'm in full geek mode. I came up in the turntable era (i can rock cdjs too) i have alot of turntables 2)Technics1200s 2)Technics1210s 2)Vestex PDX 2000s 2)Numarks 1)stanton, so im saying with all the technology you at some point have to evolve i still have my massive vinyl collection but who wants to lug 10-13 crates of vinyl around to a gig (been there done that) i think the emergence of Serato was the best thing since slice bread and i still can use my tables, now since Rane has partnered up with Serato thats was cool, now Rane & Serato have partnered up with Ableton if you don't know about Ableton Live (google them) there product is made for the dj,remixer,beatsmith, watching DJ Revolution as he freaks his set using his tools remixing on the fly this is some dope sh*t.      
Looking at DJ Revolution's setup he has a Akai APC 40 Ableton live controller, Denon DN-1000  controller, Rane tt57 mixer (built in serato), Macbook Pro, 2 technics 1200s                                                                                                                                        

DJ Premier  said "If You Don't Own A Single Piece Of Vinyl You Don't Deserve Serato"
DJ Jazzy Jeff said "If You Where A Bad DJ Before Serato Came Out Then You Will Be A Bad  DJ On Serato"   
meaning bad not good !!! 
My word to the new djs if your a beginner really learn the craft (get with somebody who can teach you the right way) but you have to practice everyday if you want to label as a turntablist , 30 yrs in the game and I'm still evolving daily if you have a dj questions feel free to email me your questions 615wutangsouth@gmail.com  i will answer any all dj questions.
