The Art of Collaboration

Post Image

Collaboration has always been a type of religious practice for me in my professional endeavors. Of course, like the ones that will be acknowledged in this post, creating alongside legends in and of itself is a gift and a blessing. But moreover, the work with the facilitators, the administrators, the designers, the producers, the engineers, the distributors, are all equally an important part of the experience. 

Over the past few months I began releasing archived songs that have been in the library for some time, each with a special collaboration featuring legendary artists from different realms of the hip hop spectrum like Yukmouth (originally member of the Platinum selling group, Luniz), Youngbuck (Platinum selling artist and original member of G-Unit), CeeLo Green (Platinum selling recording artist and original member of Goodie Mob), and most recently Cappadonna, an original member of the legendary and Multi-Platinum group Wu-Tang Clan). 

I guess some of the irony is that, at least with these initial releases, all of these guys are true collaborators themselves coming from working within legendary groups in the hip hop universe. 

I not only want to thank everybody that supports my energy in the world, but I also want to send an encouraging reminder that nothing happens without others helping to make it happen. a big shot out to my friends and partners at True School Entertainment, the Temple of Hip Hop, Anno Domini, High Powered Studios, INgrooves/Virgin Music Group, and Brave New World Records.

Enjoy the music, know that there is plenty more collaborations and other releases and albums to come, and let nothing get in the way of what you’re born to do. You can check out each of the mentioned collaborations below:
