SME AFFILIATE SPOTLIGHT: DR+

DR+ aka DRPlus2 aka Dr. T aka Silas Gravybread

If you could mix the elements of George Clinton, Rza, Dr. Dre, DJ Premier, The Prodigy, and J Dilla... This would be the outcome. Dr+, to some known as Dr. T, Silas Gravybread or DrPlus2. Coming from Kansas City, Dr+ has produced or remixed tracks for various artists in the game (Kaiji In Stereo, Savant of RAREBREED, Anti-Crew, Flying Lotus, Daneja Mentale). His range of production is so diverse that it's impossible to place it in a certain category. At 15 Dr+ released "Meat & Cheese", a compilation containing some of the hottest underground emcees around the nation. It also showcased some great instrumental pieces that blend well in the track listing. Other albums in his discography includes: "A Left Consciousness", "...pilgrimage", "24OURS", "Between Natural Dust and Digital Eden", "Hands Like James'", "OOH LA LA" and "The Happy Box Game". He is definitely one to look out for and listen to. #co-sign

SME AFFILIATE SPOTLIGHT: MR. DILLIGENCE



MR. DILLIGENCE

*taken from the NME Wreckidz site

Virginia native, Massachusetts transplant Mr. Dilligence is the founding father of TRP Productionz and NME Wreckidz.

His bio is almost too long to get into, but lets just start with the fact that he has been a musician since the age of 14, and a producer/engineer since the age of 19. He bought his first 4-Track cassette recorder and sat in his dorm room his freshman year of college at Salem State and blew off all his classes to pursue his dream of making quality and artistic work on his own.

He then graduated to a digital 8-Track and a project studio set up about 5 years later and formed "MAD TR!P" along with brother True Persuasion and a few other down cats. Since then he has not looked back, producing (which in his terms means making beats from scratch, engineering, mastering, everything) for over 25 underground emcees from the Boston Suburb/Cape Ann area and releasing them on his NME WRECKIDZ record label.

Since then he has produced songs for several licensing deals under his belt, including tracks on the Ghetto Brawls DVDs series, several Indy movies (the Kingston High, Holla!), BMX bike, skateboard and wakeboard video/DVDs as well as tracks on prominent mixtapes put out from coast to coast (Potent Product, Meddafore, CUDJs, etc). He is currently still producing for several local emcees while keeping his mind abroad on the bigger picture, while still having the time to raise his beautiful daughter and enjoy his blessed life.

Words from Daneja Mentale:

I became a big fan of Dillz (that's what I call him) since I first heard his team in 2001.
During that time Napster was free and illegal and Crunk music started taking over in the South. I stumbled into a track recorded by NME Wreckidz artist Lu Chin Chen on MP3 dot com. The title was "Money" and I was attracted to the dark twisting of Kraftwerk's "It's More Fun To Compute" sample and Lu's thought-provoking lyrics. Not only did I hear this song, but there were also others from his crew and I instantly became a fan. I contacted Dillz on another music network by the name of Soundclick and we bonded a friendship. Around 2006 we started exchanging music. He'll send beats to me and I'd send remixes of some of his artists' songs. He is one of the most down to earth individuals in the game. He is my musical brother and even though we haven't had a chance to meet in person, he is family. I have nothing but respect for his work ethic, for he works diligently.

F**K PIPA & SOPA!!!!! STOP INTERNET CENSORSHIP!

To those who have the "HOME IS WHERE THE HATE IS (Rejected Beats)" or any of the recent Daneja Mentale or T.A.M.P.E.R. posts, Please make a back-up copy to prevent losing it. Due to the assholes working with PIPA & SOPA, the original rar files were lost in the battle against internet censorship. This is very unfair to me, you and other account holders with legitimate files. I will re-up the posts via [an un-named file sharing source]. Thank you for your patience.

KAIJI (In Stereo) & KEON BLANK - THE RELEASE EP

"The Release" is the collaboration EP by emcee Kaiji (In Stereo) representing Chicago (U.S),  and producer Keon Blank representing his Eastern-European native, Estonia. A project completed from the exact distance of 4556.98 miles, the EP is the first try of the respective artists to work on a more capacious project in an overseas context. Up, close and personal, it´s a set of tracks which expresses a certain period of time and assembly of thoughts. Moreover and most importantly though, it can be seen as the foundation and sample for future projects. A proving ground, in a way.

This 4-track EP is a very solid one. The album starts off with the Jones featured banger "Starmuzik" where Kaiji and Jones both go hard with the verses. On "Tomorrow, Next Year" Kaiji channels Chicago all over this jazzy beat. "All I Need" is a direct nod to Hip Hop featuring Dee Jackson. The title cut "The Release" does just that... releases the pain and angst dealing with a failed relationship. The only flaw about "The Release" is too short of an album. However, this is only the beginning. There is so much to come from this artist. Stay tuned!

Tracklisting:

1. Starmuzik (feat. Jones)
2. Tomorrow, Next Year
3. All I Need (feat. Dee Jackson)
4. The Release
