Nas/Al Hirt Re-Edit "Harlem-Queens Hendoo" dj jesster

put together a couple of my favs here.  the al hirt song "harlem hendoo" and nas' "if i ruled the world" for this one.  it's a second attempt at ableton live for me.  trying to chop up the original, then add some equally chopped drums and a vocal flavor from the nas song "if i ruled the world" featuring lauren hill, aka l-boogie.  it's not perfect but it's what i came out with tonight.
it's not exactly what i set out to do, but i like it enough to post it.  nas is definitely in my top 7 for emcees.  al hirt is not in my top 7 for trumpet guys but i've loved this sample ever since de la used it for "ego trip" .. i'm starting to sense a trend here.. one of these days i'll have this ableton thing worked out better... probably never as good as i had that sp1200 mastered, but at least better than now.  hope you dig it.
peace,
jesster

The Dirty Rappers "Fowl Play" spoof on Deep Cover by Snoop and Dre

this past sunday was the violas. it's the award show/hoiday party for the village theatre... this has been a very interesting year for the guys at the VT, mostly bad but with tons of promise at the end.  we are moving to a new space in 2012 and just launched a very successful kickstarter campaign to raise money for the move.  people are very excited about the promise that 2012 holds.. thus making for a great violas to end 2011.

one of the cool things about the violas is that some of the guys/girls put together video presentations.  bleez has always had an idea of doing a song called "fowl play" about the places to get cheap eats in the old 4th ward.. sort of as a sequel to the song i did about east atlanta called "eat that chicken."  it's basically a spoof video on the dre and snoop song "deep cover."  we shot a video last weekend and i edited this the other night.

the Village Theatre on kickstarter

please help out to support something that i support. the village theatre is having to move from their current location to a new space. the current location is getting demolished but this is a good thing. the guys at the VT are using this as an opportunity to move up in the world of improv comedy.

in an effort to help raise the necessary funds to make this move possible the guys are using a site called kickstarter.com .. they are offering free tickets to shows and other great promo items as incentives to help get the new location off the ground. please check it out and show the guys your support.
