[SHORT FILM] IN THE WOOD

 Welcome back to reality.  

It's been such a long time since I've tapped into this site.  I've been on a quest to create doper beats and improve upon my 30+ year spinnin' skills that I put on the back-burner for the longest.  Writing has not abandoned me, however.  I am looking to keep my virtual pen alive and well for 2022 and beyond.  

While perusing and musing online for some creative ideas I came across this hidden gem from 2017.  For those that do not know, NOE is a Baltimore-bred emcee known for his Jay-Z-like vocal timbre and affiliate of Jim Jones' ByrdGang.  Here is a dope glimpse into the existence of the East Baltimore artist.

PEOPLE'S PARTY WITH TALIB KWELI [COMMON EPISODE]

     To say the least, 2020 has been the most challenging year that humanity as a collective has experienced in eons.  There has been plenty of source material to include on WISDOM SEEKER, but I have been focusing on the musical side to challenge my anger and angst creatively.  Writing is still a passion (albeit a quieter one at age 5-0).  Needless to say it is time for me to do what is necessary to keep the WISDOM SEEKER banner flying high.
     Talib Kweli has been on the receiving end of criticism and vitriol due to his penchant for Twitter disagreements.  I won't get into that because I am about the positive aspects of this dope emcee.  His People's Party podcast/show has been doing quite well, so I am going to focus on that aspect right now.  His recent interview with Chi-Town legend Common is an informative and lengthy foray into multiple topics.  Show co-host Jasmin Leigh adds dope insight during the course of this two-hour hip hop dissertation.  Enjoy, and welcome me back to my WISDOM SEEKER platform.

[NEW MUSIC] GANG STARR --- ONE OF THE BEST YET

Peace and blessings WISDOM SEEKERS!  It has truly been a good while since I've posted on my blog.  I've been immersed in beatmaking and production and that has taken precedent over my creative flow.  So much dope music has been released since my last posting in 2018.  With us finishing 2019 it is only right for me to showcase the newest joint to grace my eardrums.  One Of The Best Yet is the new release from Gang Starr.  I didn't know if we would ever get another collaborative effort from the late great Guru and Preemo.  We did.  It is fiyah.  From beginning to end you get that vintage sound that made Gang Starr the quintessential hip hop group.  I will let the music speak for itself at this point.

I still love Hip Hop...

HIPHOPPHILOSOPHY.COM RADIO [MONDAY NIGHT FRESH --- 8.19.19 EPISODE]

Dope hip hop is still alive and well in 2019.  I am indeed blessed and grateful to have been given the opportunity to work with the legendary Stetsasonic representative Daddy-O (now known as Professor Daddy-O).  It is only right to hear the fruits of labor on various satellite/terrestrial stations/mixshows.  One such joint is courtesy of HipHopPhilosophy.com.  Here we have the Monday Night Fresh edition from 8/19/19.  Salute to El Choppo aka A.C. The Program Director for including the WISDOM BEATS-produced "Serengetti" in the mix.  Heading into 2020 there is indeed promise on the horizon for the culture to grow and thrive, and I'm looking forward to being an integral part of this growth.







 

DJ WONDER - WONDER MIX [7.12.18]

If you haven't checked out DJ Wonder on Sway In The Morning with the swift cuts and dope transitions (turntable lingo) then please pay attention to this joint.  His famed Wonder Mix for July 12th was a very dope twenty-plus minutes of spinnin'.  Of course I am excited with this episode because he added to his playlist the ILL Conscious gem "Vibe Vibrations" (featuring the Left Coast phenom Yung Miss).  I wasn't expecting this WISDOM BEATS production to be a part of today's playlist, but I am honored to have this song played for the multitudes to listen to, even for a few moments.  DJ Wonder deftly blended "Vibe Vibrations" into the classic Dilla-produced "Stakes Is High" (which is a song that influenced my production style).  Other gems abound on this Wonder Mix.  I won't give any titles away; I'll leave it up to the listeners to catch some known and unknown music.  Make sure to check out Sway In The Morning on SiriusXM Shade 45 in the mornings to start your day on a great note!

[ALBUM STREAM] M3 --- DJ JAZZY JEFF

Creative and artistic freedom is what most artists (in my humble opinion) strive for in this day and age.  DJ Jazzy Jeff, one of my go-to legends when it comes to turntablism and production, has now entered the realm of a musical free agent, so to speak, with the release of the final installment in the Magnificent series, M3.  This is the first Jazzy Jeff-helmed product as an independent artist, and that freedom serves him well.  He's been so influential in developing artists and sounds for the better part of three-plus decades, and this album is an emphatic exclamation point for Magnificent as a sonic trilogy.  Dope collaborations abound, with Dayne Jordan, Rhymefest, Amir (Jeff's son), Masego, James Poyser, Andre Harris (Dre & Vidal) and others contributing their talents to this exciting project.  I have no secrets about DJ Jazzy Jeff as one of my biggest influences, and M3 is another feather in a stellar, almost unparalleled career as one of the dopest DJ's ever (actually he is the dopest in my book).  Stream and download the project (and thank me later).  Fleet DJ/Fleet Producer WISDOM BEATS signing out!
