Wow. What a trip...
westcoast to
eastcoast... it was a lot of fun. For my
NY pics click
here and for my
LA pics click
here.
So much to say, so many stories... but I'll try and hit the main points...
The
BumSquad DJ'z retreat in LA was great... got to hang with my boy
Latin Prince, and met his friend
Philly from
Croatia. good peoples. Also hung around the
Universal office down in Santa Monica... shouts to
Dreezy and Justin who hold it down for me when I'm there. Oh yeah, they
alway laugh
cuz I get excited to raid their corporate fridge which is stocked with cherry coke and other drinks for their staff and guests. pretty nice eh?
Well the highlights of the LA trip were meeting
Nicole from the
Pussy Cat Dolls,
Common, the yacht party sponsored by
Interscope Records, seeing all the crew from the Squad, meeting
Scott Storch, bumping into the
Roc down in Malibu, meeting
Papoose, and hanging with my boy Ru who took me to one of his studio sessions while I was in town. Good looking out...
Oh yeah, we also got to see an exclusive early preview of
Rush Hour 3... pretty funny.. Chris Tucker stole the show in my opinion..
As for NY, well... it was my first time, and it was pretty much exactly what I was hoping for.. got to meet
alot of very cool people, producers from around the world, Felisha from Dynamic Producer, my boy
DJ Swivel who took me to a studio session in the
Desert Storm offices where he engineers for the likes of
Fabolous, etc.. also met
Just Blaze, who was a really cool, humble cat despite all his major success... and of course checked out all the major tourist sites, which didn't disappoint ... the empire state building, central park,
WTC area, Times Square, Apollo Theatre, wall street, fifth avenue, etc.
Also shouts to Chris at
Boilin Pot Entertainment for taking me around Harlem and inviting me to a video shoot out there. I'm looking fwd to seeing it and will post it up when it's done for y'all to see. I was kinda tipsy off the grey goose, so hopefully I'm not acting too much a fool..
hahaOh yeah, I'm a big
Seinfeld junkie so I also checked out the diner and the soup kitchen which they based theirs on in the show.
However, the main highlight was getting a round of applause at the conference I was at when they played a mountain dew commercial I scored for one of the panels. It feels good when people acknowledge your work like that. Also, having the A&R for
Ludacris' label DTP saying he was
feeling my tracks was good too.
Other than that, it's back to the grind. also, this week check out the new Remix for
Sean Kingston feat Pitbull produced by yours truly. You can read about it and listen to it here from the good folks over at
Hip Hop Ruckus:
