LOUDER! (A Tribute to J Dilla) - Sean Armstrong and E Major
Click to download from BandcampAlready being called “a must download” (Gowhere/Chicago Now), this 7 track EP/mixtape features Sean Armstrong (aka DJ Face of 9th Wonder’s True School DJ’s) and our own E Major trading verses over production by the late, great J Dilla. The duo of Major and Armstrong wanted to release the tribute to the producer in February since it is frequently referred to as Dilla Month, being that it is the month Dilla was both born in and died in. Here’s the description from the Bandcamp page:
“We put this project together in the name of J Dilla because we believe that he was truly one the best artists to ever work in Hip Hop. Dilla has touched many lives with his music and continues to in his absence. He’s inspired a whole generation of musicians and this is our way of honoring him.. through music.
-E Major and Sean Armstrong”

DMV ARTIST: DJ Whoo Kid x RadioPlanet.tv present... Ti'Jean - Love & Rebellion: The Mixtape ...COMING 3.1.11!!!
Ti'Jean Sets Off Love & Rebellion with DJ Whoo Kid, March 1
New Video "Black America" Flips Eminem Classic
Debut Single "Everything's Illuminated" on Mixtape
Washington, DC -- In today's music scene it is increasingly common to hear different genres coming together to create pop hits, as so many young artists are exposed to more options than their creative predecessors. As a songwriter, musician and lyricist, Ti'Jean represents modern day multi-faceted artists that are changing the face of music for their generation.
On March 1, 2011, Ti'Jean will release Love & Rebellion: The Mixtape, presented by DJ Whoo Kid and RadioPlanet.tv, offering music fans a fresh perspective with his unique "Hip Rock" sound. Brooklyn-born and DC-raised, Ti'Jean abides by his Hip Rock lifestyle, which he describes as a hybrid of the influences around him, whether from film, various genres of music, art, fashion and everyday experiences. He embodies Hip Hop, and generates his own brand of fusion sonically in the studio.
The title Love & Rebellion represents passion, pain, art and expression on various levels, and as Ti'Jean describes, they are the two most attractive traits in human history.
"Both love and rebellion begin with us, the musicians, poets and writers - from Shakespeare or Pablo Neruda to NWA. We start sh*t!" Ti'Jean says. "Why do you think we have fight songs and national anthems? It hypes us up, gets us ready for love or rebellion. This mixtape is the start of the music world getting to understand me, and who I am as an artist."
Undoubtedly, Ti'Jean finds value in everything around him, and appreciates the incredible musical history of his current home in the Washington, DC area.
"When you combine so many styles and genres, it's interesting what comes out," Ti'Jean explains. "The major thing this city did for me was teach me to never reject any type of music. Not that I love it all, but I listen to it all. DC is a lot like New York City, in that there are people from all over the world here, and this area basically brings the world to the person."
Given his well-rounded tastes, Ti'Jean tapped in to the infinite talent pool online to find select tracks from the likes of Kajmir Royale (Colorado), The Teqnitionz (California), Sir Thomas (Texas), Royal Audio Tunes (Germany), Camron Reams (Colorado), Epik the Dawn (California) and Born to Win (Virginia). He notes that while each song on the project touches him, it's the track "Everything's Illuminated" produced by The Teqnitionz that hits home the most.
"'Everything's Illuminated' best describes the moment that I'm currently in," Ti'Jean explains. "It basically the start of the whole journey, and it's special because it's the first song I recorded for the mixtape. It really set the direction for the rest of the project. It's very personal and honest."
The lead video for Love & Rebellion is the stirring "Black America," a play on Eminem's epic hit "White America." Masked 'presidents' convene with Ti'Jean in a stark, dimly lit room at the nation's capital, accentuating the
"I'm not afraid to try new things - there is no comfort zone for me as long as I'm true to myself," explains Ti'Jean. "The person and the artist are the same. It's a risk of course, but high risk equals high reward. Music is something that I will always live and die for. My reward is when people appreciate my art, period."

Nike Nando - Love Day [Album]
5 years in the making..I've been trying to reach this goal since 2006 when I built a studio in my bedroom with the dream of taking my music to a place that could help people who suffer from abuse & depression. Who would have known that those records I wrote in my Grandmother's freezing cold basement that I had to live in I would even be THIS close to my dream...
When I dropped out of school I made a vow to myself that I would take this music serious to create a better life for my family...
With that being said, I present to you "Love Day" my DEBUT album. 100%, 100% REAL...This is ME. Not me trying to be like anyone else. I just want the listener to take in what I am saying and understand that whatever background you come from if it's good or bad we all go through a struggle.
Songs like, "Might Take Forever", "The Love" & "Almost" are telling you what has happened to me in a year's span...pay close attention to what I'm saying. I'm not just making these words up. This stuff has actually happened to me or a friend of mine..
Long story short, I would like you to listen, download, blog, or tell your friends about this project. It's my baby. ALL ORIGINAL material nothing short of a solid original project. One of the best projects to come out of my area or at all this year 1st quarter.

368 Music Group is a Good Indie label IMO
As i was riding and listening to DJ Analyze do his rush hour mix and i heard a artist named Da Phuture (*Spelling) and then come to find out that another artist on Raheem's label 36b Music Group. Out of all the labels or those that call themselves "labels" i honestly respect their approach to this music s***. As a independent its tough to get heard but they are definitely getting their records to radio to expand their audience.
Da Phuture is the second artist to get burn and from 368 (Phil Ade to be first). Some indie artist and labels say "F*** Radio" and yeah that's cool but if you can get it on radio.....why not? Ok ok ok I know and we know its about relationships but the record your pushing has to actually be GOOD ENOUGH for radio. And the record by the Phuture is format ready and good enough for the radio/mix show.
The internet is only going to take you so far and as i know the radio can open you up to SO MANY MORE listeners you couldn't reach via internet.
GOOD indie labels are far and few in between and 368 is a GOOD one. Some other indie labels in the area, haven't and couldn't get their artist on the radio if they were tried paying (PAYOLA). But those labels will remain nameless because well......we are going to keep this post CLEAN!
I look at it like this if i dealt with a indie label and the indie label and we are NOT selling records (Which a lot of "DMV power house" (LOL) indie labels aren't) AT LEAST get my record on the radio....S***!!!!!
A quick testament....During the summer I was pushing my record Sundresses and Sandals and attending numerous radio meetings i realized that you actually have to have a GOOD-GREAT record for them to add to mix show. My record went up against Juvenile, Plies and Nipsy Hustle which i may add none of their records made the mix show list but mine did. No Money, No B.S. just a GREAT song (IMO) that made sense and was mixable with the format.

I CANT THINK OF ONE ARTIST OUT THERE THAT DIDN'T WANT RADIO SPINS OR INSTANT EXPOSURE! ONE RADIO SPIN COULD BREAK YOU....JUST ASK WALE (via DJ ALIZAY)
So my whole point for this post is to show respect to 368 and show that if you have a plan and make a good record you can get mix show spins. DC radio is supporting local artist more now than ever and id like to think i played a part in that with my record (Sundresses and Sandals) and of course Wale spins and others like artist like Phil Ade and Bear Witness. ****May i add we RULED the DMV summer with our records!!!!!!
And...I know a lot of you angry a$$ idiots are going to say "well he got raheem behind him" yeah that true but honestly Raheem doesn't have enough influence to get a unsigned artist into rotation....you have to have a good record combined with the co sign.

Match Made in Heaven: Wale signs with Rick Ross
RICK ROSS THE UNTOUCHABLE MAYBACH EMPIRE SUPER BOWL BLOG 2.1 from DRE FILMS / MAYBACH FILMS on Vimeo.
Congrats to Wale for signing with Ross. In today pseudo industry if you severe ties with a label and one of the hottest rappers in the game wouldnt mind signing you.............sign the damn papers. A situation is a situation period!!!
The whole funny thing about this is when wale was in the studio before his "signed" days he used to clown Ross for wearing fake j's and jewelry and now Ross is his BAWSE! Oh the irony of this rap s***!
Congrats nonetheless!
