Thoughts on my first Major artist or producer interview
As I sit about 30 minutes after interviewing Paul Wall on Dee Dot's Producers Corner, a year ago when I stumbled onto Icebreaker Productions, no where did I think this would happen. First interview of many to come with many major artists, and I hope to produce a track or few for them. I will say to the world, if you have something you believe in or you want to do in life, go ahead and pursue it to the fullest. Sure I'm not where I want to be in my career, but I'm also not where I don't want to be either, don't let anyone tell you that what you want is impossible. 2011 in life has had its ups in my career from selling more beats, to finishing up this EP and the radio show and it isn't even over yet, I started to pursue my vision when I was 25 and learned a lot on the way, some guys start younger, some older but its never too late! I thank god everyday for this music career and the people that constantly show love and support to the fullest each and every day. Away from the limelight it helps take my mind off of life behind the scenes and I want everybody to know that without you we at Dee Dot's Producers Corner , Major Music ENT & Icebreaker Radio that we all appreciate the supporters!

Is Hip Hop back ot being relevant?
Growing up in the 90's hip hop era was an experience and in my 29 year old life I haven't seen it duplicated. Shortly after the 90's, music started becoming to commercialized on MTV, BET and the radio which led to some fans being split on the style of music that was in the mainstream. It sounded more pop than hip hop to a lot of people, it was also like it was being forced down our throats. Now as I look there's a new breed of artist that have emerged, from Curren$y , Wiz Khalifa , Jay Electronica, Wale, Kendrick Lamar to J. Cole to name a few have been really getting into the spotlight. I think its refreshing to hear a new style of music come out. Sure they still don't get any of the air time a lot of other artists get, but they have fans beyond the masses. The great part to this, is that this evolution of hip hop hasn't even fully changed yet. There are more and more artists who are using the same formula from putting their music online to doing local shows, who have built their fan bases from the ground up. Sure its not the 90's, but I like where the industry is headed.

State of Hip Hop (Being an Artist and Producer)
Today it seems as if being an Artist or Producer is the thing to do. Guys taking pictures "thuggin" or in the studio on facebook or twitter. Real artists and producers know the difference and see the difference. Who's talking and who's actually putting things into action. Its cool to rap over industries, but its like I always say you have to eventually create your own identity. Today a lot of values are out of place when guys will buy Jordans or Video games instead of a beat for something they claim they love to do. Stop and think about which side you stand on, think about where your career is right now and think about what you're doing to live your dreams?
Second thing I wanted to address is a lot of artists and producers send me messages on how they can get more known or get more exposure. Some of the things that I did all along and didn't know it which is VERY simple. What is it you ask? Just simple civilized convo with a like minded individual can lead to more opportunities. What helps me is posting in the forums on soundclick and rapmusic.com also the many groups I'm involved in on facebook. Everyday people post links sure you can't listen to all of them but best thing to do is work on building one new relationship each week whether its with an artist, producer or anyone in the music business for that matter. I'm also learning the in's and out's of twitter, which is infact a great networking site because these days most of America has smartphones which have twitter apps which means when you hit them up its going directly to them as a text message.
Last topic is the local scene, some of the things that have helped me get shows and meet more people locally have been looking on craigslist and backpage there are a lot of opportunities some good some not so good, but you never know what you can find in your city. Networking with local artists in general is always an open opportunity like going to shows and events. To get local shows I recommend checking out Afton shows and Webookgigs.info which have helped me in the past as well.
Do all the following over time and see that network grown year after year. You will really be surprised the progress you make as long as you stay consistent. There have literally been guys I've met on myspace in 2006 that I've talked to over the years have helped me as a producer and even appeared on my show. You never know how these relationships can turn out after years.......
