Memo To Fern



Start the day, and indeed the month with this Valentines video from Jay Electronica. . Again showing how creative a man he is. . No idea whats going on if I'm honest. But fern sure is lucky.

Some new material/news on him around the corner. .

Closely linked. . Theres a brilliant Just Blaze interview @ Hiphopgame where he talks about Saigon, state of the music industry, future productions.., Jay-Z.. among others. Check it.

Some people loved “Show Me What You Got” and some people hated it, but from the musical standpoint when you get into the instruments, you can’t hate on that. That record was meant to be performed live. When I made that beat, I didn’t expect it to be the lead single for Jay-Z’s comeback album. I knew Jay was going to be touring with a band, probably Amir and the Iladelhphonics and that was a record that they could rock. That record was going to be a showstopper where the bass section could get busy and the horn section could get busy. If you ever saw that record with a live band performing it then you'll get it if you didn't before.
