These past 3 months have been SUPER exciting for me.. behind all of the other projects i’ve been hard at work completing (full length albums with SKYZOO (Duckdown), REDMAN, & more), I produced an album with a new group I formed.. we are called SMOKEY ROBOTIC… it’s POP.. it’s ELECTRO.. it’s HIP HOP..it’s “4 on the flooor”, there’s some singing.. some rapping.. a few ballads..but above everything else, it’s FUN music.. we were all completely free while making this album, and i’m so proud of it… I want to share it with you.. it’s 12 complete tracks.. bump it in the car, on the ipod during your commute, or anywhere that you want to just listen to music to make you happy….
Since Usershare’s site appears to experiencing some technical difficulties you can stream the project here.

Seems like they have found a use for that “Under Pressure” instrumental while we wait. One the subject of Detox all I have to say is wait about 10 days or so…(not for the album, man, c’mon) but…you’ll see.Trust me.

REWIND: JLBeezy’s Beat Tape (Nothing To Lose)
July 16, 2010
(ED NOTE: I’m on vacay in Cancun with the fam so no new beats this week, but there will be more soon, promise!)
Inspiration comes in various forms. Sometimes it’s a swift kick in the pants from one of your peoples and other times it’s more subtle. Recently I’ve been running a blitzkrieg of interviews for the site and a common thread that seems to be coming up is not holding on to shit.
Sean C & LV said everything “must go” in 2010. DJ Babu told me that he’s putting out his Beat Tape Vol 2 because he got tired of sitting on all of these beats he made and even Donwill of Tanya Morgan, who most people don’t now makes beats, admitted that he’d be putting out a tape for his friends finally.
With that said I haven’t updated the blog section with any new beats in a minute so I’ve decided to take the first step in letting it all go:good, bad and ugly. I can use the feedback. For the most part my beats have a very loyal audience of 1 but I have nothing to lose by posting them here. (CLICK HERE FOR MY LAZY TRACKLISTING)

Nas & Damien Bring Us The Making Of Distant Relatives
July 15, 2010
Here’s a clip of Nas and Damien Marley working together in the studio on their critically acclaimed “Distant Relatives” album. Nas speaks about the creative process revealing that everything was done “on the spot”. In the age of two tracking mp3′s and emailing sessions I’m glad to see an entire album created on artistry and chemistry. I personally feel this project was the culmination of Nas’s career, the album he’s been waiting to make, and you can hear it in his words and his delivery, he wa completely free on this project.
