BEATSTREETS x HOLLYWEERD

Just when I was becoming uninspired to make music, I got a random message on Myspace asking if I wanted to participate on a project. The person who sent me the messege was DJ Jamad. For those who don't know, DJ Jamad is 1/6 of The Aphilliates and has a radio show on Sirus weekly called Afromentals on Hip-Hop nation. In the message, he asked if I was interested in making some remixes with some musical groups & artists he happened to run into. I was like sure. So, DJ Jamad sent me some acapellas and said, "Just do what you do." When I finished with the remixes, I felt that with this particular project, I need to make sure all of my "I's" are dotted and my "T's" are crossed because DJ Jamad was referred to me by Kenny Fresh (Bling 47). With that said, I spent the last of my spending money to go get 1 of my remixes mixed by my homie Jose at The Grill Studio's in Oakland. We were there for about 4 hours mixing the track the best we could, because anymore time, I would not have been able to pay my rent for that month. The songs I remixed are "Weirdo" and "Members Only" by Hollweerd. Hollyweerd is a group from the ATL. If you don't know who they are, you need to find out soon. Make sure you search for those on your favorite blog sites and listen to it as much as you want on my Myspace page soon. There are more tracks to come, so stay tuned.

COMMON x N.E.R.D. x BEATSTREETS

I recently rode my bike to the Common/N.E.R.D. concert in my hometown of Berkeley, California at my old High School, Berkeley High. My friend had bought a ticket, but she forgot the concert was on the same day as her birthday, so she let me have her will call ticket. So I go up to the ticket window to get her ticket for myself, and the ticket lady tells me that I can't get the ticket because my friend wasn't physically there with an I.D. So I called my friend up to give the ticket lady the credit card number and all the information needed to prove to her that the ticket is for me, and the ticket lady still wouldn't give me her ticket.
So I went to the backstage door and waited for N.E.R.D. to come through the door. I wasn't trippin that much that the lady wouldn't give me the ticket because I knew either Pharrell or Chad would get me into the show. Suddenly Common's assistant comes through the door and asks me to help her and Common with part of his set. So I walked back stage and did so. I missed N.E.R.D.'s set, but I've never seen Common perform live before. I was very impressed, the shit was tight. Serena Williams was there also.... And yes.... She does have "BODY."

NICK CATCHDUBS

I met this guy at a Super Friends party at the Milk Bar in Frisco. I have never heard of him before that night, except for the fact that he plays good music. I had just finished my Remix Album Vol.1 and I just wanted to give Nick and Dj Vinsol a copy of it. I was intending for them to do anything with it, I just wanted them to hear it. And this is what came out of it. Peep the pics.
