What's Happening In '08 Update #1
So I'm in LA sitting here at the airport waiting for my flight to Cancun and just finished taping The Daily 10 on E!. Today I talked about a group called Chromeo during my Get Familiar segment and I strongly suggest you Get Familiar with them, they are such a cool band, if u consider 2 people a band. (Random Thought: What is the official number of people to be considered a band???)
All this week I've been trying to get clearance on a sample I used for a new Ludacris record I produced. I found out that the sample I used is Beethovan which makes it public domain aka it doesn't have to be paid for...Yesssss!!!! I was also able to knock out 3 more beats this week which I'm going to write to during my plane ride. Speaking of plane rides, I just got Ableton Live and I'm about to learn how to use it on my laptop...This software is Sick! You can literally do mixes on your laptop on an airplane flight...such a genius product! Shout to DJ white shadow in Chicago who gave me a crash course. I have to buy another laptop next week to strictly make beats on while I'm on the road, which I'll load with Protools, Reason & Ableton Live... (Sidenote: my goal this year is to make every waking moment of my life productive, otherwise what's really the point?)
Just did a D-Block record for the massive mixtape I told ya'll last week about...which should be dropping in about a month. I still haven't though of a name for the CD yet but I'll think of something soon. I'm most likely going to do it how I did the Kanye West "Touch The Sky" CD (which incidentally is in February issue of Vibe Magazine), but with the boss Akon this time. I produced everything on it just like the "Touch The Sky" Kanye CD and its all new exclusive (because I made them) records from Fabolous, Ludacris, Rick Ross, Yung Joc, Jim Jones, Clipse, Common, Kweli, Fat Joe, Young Buck, Jadakiss and more. You need to Get Familiar, its dropping very soon and I'll have a preview of it sooner on Clintonsparks.com & myspace.com/djclintonsparks hopefully they put it up onsmash.com as well.
Before coming to the airport to catch this flight I was hanging out with my boy DJ Felli Fel his studio and he played me music from his forthcoming album....a lot of hot music and there is one particular song that is a SMASH! No one was on it yet but he played the beat & sang me hook idea, its a winner! I keep telling ya'll Get Familiar with the DJ, we don't just play the hits....We make them! On that note, I got to write to some of these beats...catch ya'll later! Remember to always wear a condom because sharing is caring but not when sharing HIV! Hello!
