Checking in…
NewsI know most people are moving over to the blogs from myspace and I’m sure eventually blogs will be forgotten for some next shit…
Anyways… Party people what’s really good! Been a minute since I checked in and updated the website/blog.
Let’s cut to the chase. I’ve recently produced new tracks for Rakim, Krs-One & Buckshot, Large Professor, EMC, Braille, Jaysaun, Verbal Kent. DJ K.O. feat. Royce Da 5′9, Elzhi & Supastition.
As well, the brand new collabo project between Torae and myself tentatively titled “Double Barrel” is almost complete.
Yes! Double Barrel is 100% produced by yours truly and will be my first full length project since Port Authority.
Think raw, gritty, New York Boom Bap Hip Hop and that pretty much sums up the vibe and sound of the Double Barrel album. We have about 80% of it recorded. There will be a few guest MC’s, some expected and some unexpected. In typical MP fashion I will be enlisting the best DJ’s once again to scratch & cut the freshest hooks possible. DJ Linx (Scratches on “Nostalgia”) is the official DJ for Double Barrel and will be heavily involved on the project as well.
We hoped for a end of year release but with all the bullshit industry prep time you need to promote a record its looking like a Jan 09 release for the album BUT still possible to drop this year.
Besides that I’ve been slowly mapping out Port Authority 2 and reaching out to artists to get down on it. It’s way too early to even mention names but I have started assembling the beats with Shylow and DJ Linx. I’m excited about it and can’t wait to dive into the new album after I wrap up Double Barrel with Torae.
Alright, now I have to rehearse and pack for Europe which is going down in 10 days. See ya there!
peace, MP.
