Young Jeezy & Donnie Klang Drop This week

Well, i've been a little quiet and not blogging lately. Its not that there's nothing to talk about, its that my workload has reach insanely epic proportions and i'm working very hard to keep up. This week was a GREAT week for me for album releases. My name graces the liner notes of two of the biggest albums of the week, Def Jam's Young Jeezy and Bad Boy's Donnie Klang, the solo artist from Making the Band. I did very different things on both albums.

For Donnie Klang, I mixed his first single "Take U There" which is doing very well, and mixed 6 more cuts on the record at both my own studio and at Daddy's House Studios in Manhattan. I also had the distinct pleasure of playing guitar for super producer Seven on a song called "Love In Stereo". So when you hear the wailing slow guitar bends, thats me. I really like Donnie's record and its a good listen start to finish.

I haven't had a chance to listen to Jeezy's album, but if you've heard it, my work is the very first thing you hear. I always love it when i get to work on either the first cut on a record, or the title track, or the first single. It always ups the cool level just a bit. On Jeezy's album, I was actually called in to create an authentic sounding TV newscast to set the record off. The album is called "The Recession" and all of the TV voices are talking about the current economy and the recession, except it was all created by me with alot of help from some great pro voiceover people. It was a lot of fun to create and much more challenging than i thought it would be. Enjoy it!
