Drift Chronicles: The Producers ~ D.R.U.G.S

D.R.U.G.S came in and had everybody going crazy....

Some artist have producers that they will always work with. Producers with whom the chemistry is undeniable. I have been fortunate enough to find such a producer, his name is D.R.U.G.S (Dope Real Under Ground Sounds)

Check my Q&A with D.R.U.G.S below

#BELLE100 CONCERT SERIES - SUMMER EDITION

It is becoming harder and harder for indie artist in the Atlanta area to find venues to showcase their talent. Three years ago you couldn't walk through lil 5 Points and not get a flyer for some up and comer's event. These days - not so much. In an attempt to somewhat revitalize the indie artist scene in ATL; Street Execs, Apache Cafe and I decided to put on a series of showcase called the #Belle100 Concert Series. Shows will take place once a quarter and will feature artist I respect, admire and listen to in real life.  

The Summer Edition will feature performances by Phene, Twanee Baby, Small Eyez, Stanza, Sidestreet Ked, and Adrift Da Belle; and wil be hosted by Fort Knox and Sonny Gillespie. Fans are sure to enjoy a great night of music from start to finish.

Drift Chronicles: The Producers ~ Trak Specialist

And the beat goes on!! 

I'm on a mission to showcase the producers that help me make great music...

Drifters meet Trak Specialist, the genius behind Drift Chronicles' 'What Do I Want'


Per previous post, Drift Chronicles was a group effort. Meaning, an artist is truly only as good as their production. Bad production can make a great artist sound mediocre and great production can get a shitty artist a grammy. (Dont believe me -- roll the video tape)


So what happens when there is a meeting of the minds? Glad you asked, tracks like Trak Specialist's produced 'What Do I Want' from Drift Chronicles is what happens. This is another one of my favorites (check my Stupid Dope interview where I explained that this is my favorite project-period). I loved the beat from first listen. This was one of those beats that I got and recorded immediately.

Trak Specialist

'What Do I Want' was another joint that I got from Karol Russell, again didn't know what to expect just wanted to do something different than what I usually do. Enter Trak Specialist with that infectious ass bass line that urged me to purge...I was turnt up from first play. 


He a bad man yall!!

Drift Chronicles: The Producers ~ The Stonejonzon Project

 "It's about production baby - uh huh yeah"

(In my Diddy/Puffy/or Whateva he goes by now - voice)

I know ... Im  corny sometimes...its cool long as I aint lame.. HA!

The Stonejonzon Project

Next up on Driftee's blog couch is The Stonejonzon Project. These dudes are freggin amazing. They are an Alternative Hip Hop group by day and a Production team by night. Soooo, they're kinda like music superheros. If you dont know who Simon Stone (the artist), Heavy Mojo (the band), or Mista Jonzin (the Dj /Producer) are I would suggest you seriously consider expanding your musical horizons. There's a big world out here boys and girls!

The Stonejonzon Project produced another one of my favorites from Drift Chronicles Die/Frontin.  I must admit the first time I heard it I was taken aback. In fact, it took a while for me to record it because it invoked feelings of Jersey - some good ones and some bad ones..It worked out for the best though..

Drift Chronicles: The Producers ~ 8Track

Drift Chronicles has been getting so much love! Thank you all... It wasn't an all Driftee show though...during the next few weeks I will be introducing you to the men behind the music - the producers - via a brief Q & A complete with pics, contact info and links to their music.

8Track

The first producer is 8Track, a caribbean production monster who was introduced to me by our lawyer Karol Russell.

8Track's music is the exemplification of creative diversity.  Our lawyer sent me a beat file that contained tracks from several producers. I picked what seemed to be stellar opposites in an attempt to give Drift Chronicles a more universal appeal. I soon learned that  the very tracks I thought were sooooo different were produced by the same man. That's dope. 

8Track produced two of my favorite tracks on the mixtape -- Welcome and R.A.W  (SN: R.A.W are 8Track's initials - I didnt know that when I wrote the song - hell of a coincidence right). And, he is a cool humble, down to earth dude. Check out our Q&A below.
