Apparently Lyve stepped into the studio for an hour then decided to creatively present what he’d done over the course of that time. Really dope collage of the kid’s capabilities, and as a soundscape I totally see this being a viable vehicle for producers to get more exposure; not only as producers selling their music for other artists, but as artists creating something that can stand on its own, sans the traditional rapper or singer.
(Honestly there’s a whole sub-genre of ‘producers’ like Exile, ONRA and Afta1 carving out a new niche market for themselves as artists.. peep mymanhenri! for an introduction. The music might be too far left for some, but HOW these guys are presenting themselves is something traditional hip-hop producers need to pay attention too, especially given the heavy hip-hop undertones of this new movement.)
Bottom-line: The Timbaland, Dre route isn’t the only way – there is another.
T. Ana Cole’s new “Day In The Life” webisodes take us on her journey to record “Back Around” (due out in June). In this episode she hooks up with veteran producer Norm Sabourin. Huge shouts to Mr. Sabourin who was not only my piano teacher a long time ago (in a bizarro galaxy far away) but was also nice enough to give me my first (and only) studio internship (aaah, the good ole naive days, lol).

Streamed this the other day, now here’s the MP3s as well as WAVs if you want ’em (clean and dirty versions).
Step right up ladies and gentlemen… and welcome to the crazy world of D-Sisive‘s Vaudeville.
D-Sisive is a one man music machine cruising to the hum of his own engine. After last year’s triumphant return to the hip-hop limelight with both his Polaris Prize nominated gem Let The Children Die, and his second classic full length of 2009, the acclaimed Jonestown, one would think the accomplished Toronto MC would be content to rest on his ever-expanding laurels. Not D-Sisive. The enigmatic one is back – and this time taking things to an entirely new level with the epic Vaudeville.

In the never-ending saga that is this song’s Internet life, here is the latest version – almost the entire song but ripped off the radio. Maybe when the album comes out there will actually be a CDQ version (*rolls eyes*). Produced by Boi-1da! Via 2DBz.

Big Besque dropped the video for this last week, now here’s the MP3 and DJ Pack which includes the instrumental.
After a brief hiatus which included some globe-trotting, Toronto MC Arabesque is back with his new single, “Understand”. Telling the stories of 4 landed immigrants and their struggle to assimilate into America, the story is instantly relatable. Keep your ears open for his 3rd full length album release, Nuclear Ambition, dropping June 1st, 2010.

Via TOFLO! Damn, Ty’s gonna be pissed about this (lol!) especially considering that last night on OTA Live we were talking about how GREAT this song is and that there’s NOOO need for rappers to start hopping on it. Just let a great R&B song be a great R&B song, you know? I guess since it’s Drake and he wrote the whole song though, Ty will have to deal with it lol.
