To all the rappers and singers in the audience, I give you my brand new beat tape. This is an 18-track collection specially released for South By Southwest Music Festival 2010. We have specially prepared a limited release of CD’s to hand out at SXSW as well as put the album up for free download on Bandcamp. All these beats are for sale. Please contact the beat sales mailbox for more information. Thanks very much to Abe Garcia for design. Abe and I will be out in the streets for SXSW, so be sure to hit us up when you see us!
I got the news this evening that one of my musical heroes has passed away at the age of 59. I wish peace to his family and friends. As my tribute, I am posting up the first beat I ever made, which samples Teddy’s classic, “Close The Door.” While this beat is no technical masterpiece, it was the first step on the road to where I am today and where I continue to go musically. Over the last 8 years, I have gone back to Teddy P. many times, and drawn much inspiration from his work. I only hope that my own music keeps his spirit alive, and is a fitting tribute to the man who first inspired me to chop up a sample. Safe journey, Teddy.

First of all, I apologize for the hiatus from the blog, but I’ve been busy finishing up my EP. This post isn’t exactly news, but I don’t know if I ever posted it on here, so I thought I’d remind you that our 2008 mixtape, Southern Soul is available for free download. Thanks for your patience. I promise I’ll have hot new music for you soon, and that I’ll be back on schedule with Chop Steak Music ASAP.
Yes, I had to look that up. I was bored this weekend, so I took a little time out from working on tracks for my own album to remix a joint from last summer’s Milk & Donuts mixtape by Mike & Ike. Cuts courtesy of DJ Diamond Tip. Enjoy, and let me know what you think via the comments section. Any emcees or singers looking for production, have your people email my people.
