Passing it Along

Two cool things to link today. Not much to talk about right now. Big meetings later this week and i'll be producing KK Alese from the Caribbean all week. She's up here starting Wednesday cutting vocals on her first single also featuring Bounty Killer. They are shooting a video at the end of the month. it will be hot hot hot!!

So, one of my inspirations, idols, role models in the music industry is Rick Rubin. And one of the main reasons he is all of these things to me is because of his depth and versatility. He's done huge projects in hip hop, metal, country, alt rock, fill in musical style here. If you know my credits then you know how many genre's i regularly work in. And if you know my background then you know my entreprenurial spirit. Anyway, i definitely look up to him. Here's a GREAT article on Rick Rubin and the music industry. Its long, ten pages, but a must read if your in the industry.

Nigel Godrich posted a great blog dated June 15, 2007. you only have to scroll a little bit to find it. Its a video blog of bits of outtakes from the new album, and its a fascinating little listen.
