Did I say that I'm a fan of music?  Okay, let me go on and explain this thing to you, "producers" make artists not just beats.  Anybody, well not anybody but you know what I mean can come up with a hot beat that somebody already hot can jump on, but can you really make somebody… Continue reading Dear Fake Azz Music Producers

Things To Do Or NOT Do At @TheCoreDJs Retreat

So I just got back from Orlando or should I say CORElando, I had to go down and represent for my twin Tony Neal.  I literally pulled an all-nighter flying in at 7am and right back out at 5:30 am the next morning.  While there I noticed a few things and I'm doing this post so that future attendies know what and more importantly what NOT to do! 1.  DON'T come to a DJ retreat and not network!  What's the damn point, to be seen?  I saw way too many mofo's there looking like they thought they were better than or too important to network with other crews.  Yes it's a DJ retreat and you trying to get mofos to play… Continue reading Things To Do Or NOT Do At @TheCoreDJs Retreat
