Slept on Track Makers
Video Blog at bottom
I know most of you know who Dr. Dre, Scott Storch, and Timberland are. When someone says who are the best producers I'm sure you will come out right and say one of the three I had mentioned without a 2nd thought too it. This is what brings me to think about a few producers
that are slept on and do not get the credits they deserve.
The first one I'm going to talk about is the Feel Tha' Reel Wrecrords in house producer 3D aka Diggs coming out of Versailles, Ky. He has been doing tracks for local artist for over a decade but being in KY it's hard to get your name out. Now I'm sure once people start hearing his music and what he has to offer to the game they will be beating down his door. His tracks give me that feeling of being in the street anthem tracks make ya wanna smack ya momma type tracks. Don't take my word on it sit back and listen to his track and let me know what ya
think.
The Second producers that comes to mind is the brother of 3D his he goes by Dj Slick. He has been doing tracks with his brother since day one. Every time I listen to his tracks I have my head bobbin up and down with that club bangers that he produces will have you on ya feet hands in the air pumping ya fist. Just when you hear artist coming out with tracks from both the brothers you will understand when I say they are slept on. Here is a track from Dj Slick.
Now people my Third producer is my girl from ATL Killa Kel$. That's right I said Girl she is with another track makers on the TN2 productions label doing tracks for a few of the hot underground artist. When I am listening tracks from Kels I am just like damn why hasn't she blown up with tracks she has she kills the shit on radio.
Kels makes me just sit back and chill when I'm listening to the tracks she produces I can be pissed at the world but the tracks from her just have me chilled and like wow .... You can reach kels at tn2productions@gmail.com and her productions page at
www.myspace.com/tn2productions Here is one of my fav tracks from Killa-Kel$ it's called "Only 1 part 2"
There are a few other producers that are out there. One I haven't had the chance to talk too is Shadowville Productions and you can reach them at www.shadowville.com.
Don't get me wrong I love DR. Dre & Scott Storch’s tracks but I feel There others that need to be put out in the streets so if you read this and get a chance hit one of the few I talked about and get some beats from them and let them know you appreciate the skills they bring to the game.

DEF SOME DOPE BEAT MAKING!! BUT WHY YOU GONNA LEAVE OUT HI-TEK, PETE ROCK, DJ SHADOW, MADLIB, GOLDEN CHILD, ALCHEMIST,CHIEF EXCEL, ETC. THESE GUYS ARE THE ONES THAT HAVE BEEN DOING IT FOR 20 YEARS WITH NO REAL CREDIT BUT YOU STILL REMEMBER THERE TRACKS WHEN THEY COME ON. THEY ARE THE ONES THAT HAVE SET THE MODE FOR TRUE UNDERGROUND TRACKS. WITH THAT SAID YOU SHOULD ALSO UNDERSTAND THAT UNDERGROUND HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH ALBUM SALES OR YOUR BANK ACCOUNT AMOUNT. BEING IN THE UNDERGROUND IS ANOTHER WORLD WHERE MUSIC AND CULTURE ARE RESPECTED AND NOT SELLING OUT TO MAINSTREAM/CORPORATE COMPANIES THAT WILL MAKE YOU DO VIDEOS WITH CARS, GIRLS, GOLD, ICE, AND ALL THE OTHER FICTITIOUS ITEMS OF HIP HOP. BEING UNDERGROUND MEANS YOU UPLIFT HIP HOP CULTURE THROUGH YOUR ACTIONS AND MUSIC NOT RECORD SELLS. UPLIFTING THE CULTURE BY TALKING ABOUT THE 9 ELEMENTS OF HIP HOP AND WHO IT STARTED WITH AND WHY. MANY ARTIST WILL SAY THEY ARE UNDERGROUND BECAUSE THEY DON'T DO IT FOR THAT MONEY AND THAT IS A CROCK OF SHIT IF YOU ASK ME, WHO DOES NOT DO THERE JOB FOR THE PAY? THATS CRAZY OF COURSE THEY WANT THE MONEY AND THEY FAME B UT WHAT THEY MEAN IS THEY DON'T WANT TO BE MADE BY THERE RECORD LABEL TO DO A SWEAT/SUIT ALBUM LIKE NELLY THE SELL OUT. BEING UNDERGROUND IS OBVIOUSLY DOING IT FOR THE LOVE BUT THE MONEY IS GOOD TOO. THERE ARE MANY AND I MEAN MANY ARTISTS OUT THERE THAT OWN THERE LABEL AND ARE MAKING 6 FIGURES NO PROBLEM THIS DOES NOT MAKE THE COMMERCIAL/MAINSTREAM IT MAKES THEM SMART AND HARD WORKING. GOOD LOOKING ON MAKING THE BEATS IMPORTANT BECAUSE THERE IS TOO MUCH "MUSIC" IF THATS WHAT YOU WANT TO CALL IT DONE OVER TINKER BELL BEATS MADE ON A SMALL CASIO KEYBOARD. NO LIVE INSTRUMENTS, BACKGROUND VOCALS, EFFECTS, SAMPLE OF ORIGINAL BREAKS, NO DEPTH AT ALL. BEATS IS ONE OF THE 9 HIP HOP ELEMENTS AND THEM NOR THEIR CREATOR SHOULD EVER BE OVER LOOKED BECAUSE THE DJ IS ANOTHER ELEMENT OF HIP HOP AND THE FIRST PERSON TO MAKE HIP HOP MUSIC OR BREAKBEAT MUSIC WAS KOOL HERC AND AFRIKA BAMBATAA AND WITHOUT THEM HIP HOP WOULD NOT EXIST!!!!!!!!!! YES THEY ARE THE CREATORS OF HIP HOP CULTURE. WHICH WAS STARTED IN THE MID 70'S TO STOP GANG VIOLENCE IN BRONX NEW YORK. BLOCK PARTIES WOULD BE THROWN WITH HUGE SOUND SYSTEM SET-UPS WHICH WAS INHERITED FROM THE JAMAICANS, BEFORE DJ KOOL HERC CAME TO AMERICA HEY LIVED IN JAMIACA WHERE THEY WOULD THROW THE SAME KIND OF PARTIES WITH SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT MUSIC. HE BROUGHT THE IDEA HERE AND WOULD THROW THESE HUGE PARTIES AND INVITE APPOSING GANGS TO COME AND LEAVE THERE BEEF BEHIND AND THEY DID AND THAT IS HOW HIP HOP STARTED. IT WAS A MAJOR MOVEMENT WITHIN THE COMMUNITY FROM THE OG'S THAT WHERE SICK OF LOSING THERE PEOPLE OVER NOTHING BUT IGNORANCE AND CHILDISH GAMES OF VIOLENCE. VIOLENCE IS NOT ACCEPTABLE IN THIS NATURE WHAT THE HELL EVER HAPPENED TO THROWING SOME BLOWS AND THEN BEING FRIENDS OR GOING YOUR SEPARATE WAYS. GUNS AND KNIVES ARE FOR COWARDS ANYWAY!!!!!!!!! I HOPE SOMEONE PICKS UP SOMETHING FROM THIS BLOG BECAUSE HIP HOP NEEDS IT!!!!
