HHTT interview with Social Light Sounds very own Steadfast. To people who don’t know Social Light Sounds is a multi-state collective that has alot of talent in its ranks. Steadfast is a Washington D.C. native who travels back and forth between D.C. and Massachusetts to perform and collaborate with his crew. During his last visit Steadfast opened up for Masta Ace & Edo G (A & E)  out in Providence R.I. and also for the legendary M.O.P. at the Middle East in Cambridge M.A.  Be on the lookout for Steadfast, to find more info or to buy his LP ( The Joel Hachem Chronicles-All In The LP ) make sure to check him out at http://sociallightsounds.com/new/store/

After the interview on 91.3’s Selective Hearing radio show HHTT had a lil’ cypher with Steadfast out front of the radio station on Main St. in Worcester.

If that wasn’t enough Steadfast recently collaborated with  veteran Worcester MC’s Arablak & Larry Cheeba (L Da Headtoucha) for Give Thanks which will be appearing on Arablaks upcoming Fresh Heir due out 2-24-10.

Give Thanks – Arablack Feat. Steadfast & Larry Cheeba

I had the pleasure of working on this tune over the summer, and now all y’all can listen to the finished product, along with the original, my brother Kenlo’s remix, plus additional reworks from Johnny Illdigger and Browny Beats. This single is just the beginning though, with Metazon working on their full length LP, The World Class Buffet, that will be dropping very soon. This joint won’t be available on the album, so enjoy it. I only wish Kev Brown had jumped on with a remix of his own, because we all know he’s nice on the mic, and the beats as well. Check out The Incubator remix below and grab the .ZIP with the original and all remixes right here. Please drop a comment and let me know what you think of the remix people, because feedback makes the world go round….

Produced by Kev Brown…Is it me or do all Kev’s beats sound EXACTLy the same?…I guess it doesn’t matter..The song still bangs…..

Diamond District’s y.U. recorded this track years ago, but DMV producer/rapper Kev. Brown of the Low Budget Crew added more flava to the track for his latest release Random Joints EP (on sale now through itunes).  Word is Kev. Brown produced this track on the fly for y.U.  There’s a plethora of good music coming from our area, the DMV…don’t worry we got you covered…stay tuned…

A rare glimpse into Kev Brown’s career.

Kev Brown’s Random Joints has a new cover for its physical release. There’s still no word on the official date yet, but I’ll let you know as soon as the information becomes available.

• Check out my original post about the album.
• Go to Kev Brown’s blog and order a copy.

Kev Brown performing “Relentless” alongside Kenn Starr at the Random Joints release party on August 26 at Liv in D.C.

Kenn needs to do shows more often. He seems to struggle through his verses.

Kev performing “The Random Joint” off his latest album.

I believe Oddisee filmed this.

here’s a coupla short clips from Kev’s D.C. record release party/performance at Liv nightclub. hopefully more footage will surface soon

Kenn Starr & Kev Brown – Relentless

Kev Brown – The Random Joint

Achei dois vídeos muito interessantes, que mostram ninguém menos do que Kev Brown fazendo um beat. Quem,  você me pergunta?  Kev Brown, é o cara responsável por produções de muito garbo e competência como alguns álbuns do De La Soul, o ‘Black Album’ do Jay Z, algumas faixas do Busta Rhymes e é comparado com grandes nomes da era de ouro do rap:  DJ Jazzy Jeff (com quem já trabalhou), Pete Rock e Large Professor. Resumindo, ele é muito muito bom!!

Existem vários videozinhos do Sr. Brown pela internet, todos eles bem interessantes para quem é beatmaker ou produtor, e para quem tem curiosidade sobre o processo de criação de uma faixa/beat/afins. Deixo com vocês os dois últimos que pintaram pela web.

Por, mocha.(muóka)

Dunc filmed a handful of joints at Kev Brown’s release party in D.C., including “Life’s A Gamble”, “Say Sumthin’” alongside Kenn Starr and Quartermaine, and “The Alternative Rock Joint”.
