J.J. Brown's Story: I go to work...

It's an incredible concept:

1. Form a working relationship with a producer who was at the helm of the soundtrack to Golden Era hip-hop.

2. Dig through his data discs for untapped gems from the 90's.

3. Turn those joints into current diamonds in the rough.

4. Put in a call to your old friends Dan & J.J. to buff out the final product!

Haha... that's what my good friend, the man, the myth, Celph Titled has done by joining forces with legendary beatsmith Buckwild from DITC, and the result is an unprecedented mix of old school aesthetics and new school audio technology, courtesy of 5G Productions.

This is a historic meeting of the minds that is sure to spawn a whole new genre of music making, featuring guests including one of my personal all-time favorites Treach of Naughty By Nature, and Vinnie Paz of Jedi Mind Tricks who played a big part in getting me into this game on a professional level in the first place.

As those of you who I'm cool with on Twitter already know, a few months ago I became the proud recipient of an Xbox 360 gift, and things just haven't been the same since! Ha. I'm just now getting back into the gaming world after a small absence, but I go all the way back to the Atari 2600. Perfect timing, because I recently produced a track for my fellow Penn State alum Never Yet Contested called Retro. It's all about classic games throughout the past few decades, and he just unleashed this great music video for it. Gamers... click HERE and enjoy a trip down memory lane. Beat is kinda nice too ha. You can download the track FOR FREE by clicking the single's cover art above, of course mixed to perfection by my partner Dan "The Deacon" Maier. More on him in a sec.

Now back to my man Danny... he's sound designed some of the most profound television news promos you've seen in the past decade, mixed & mastered some of your favorite songs, and he's even co-produced a few! But what you might not know is that his Christian Rock outfit THE KNOWN, for which he's the drummer and the Pro Tools wizard behind the sound of the project, has just unveiled their debut album, The Next Chapter! Over three years in the making, this incredible work carries messages of hope and restoration, and it's just what you've been missing in your 5G collection. Click HERE to purchase The Next Chapter featuring Brian Parker on vocals, and Frank Sanyshyn -who also played on my album Connect The Dots.- on guitar and bass.
