First Track from Roll Call ’10: Top Pedigree featuring FoRcE oNe and MooN ShynE
Sunday, April 18th, 2010MsP Production Vault: Drum Kit – Ethnic Percussion, and Some More Roll Call ’10 Updates!
Tuesday, April 13th, 2010It’s Wednesday, so you know a new drum kit is up for download in the production vault! This week’s kit is about ethnic percussion. Djembes, congas, bongos, cabasas, wood blocks, and other non standard drum kit sounds can be yours today! Remember, this is all free for download, so feel free to let your fellow producers know about it so they can get it too. (pause)
Roll Call ’10 Updates:
- More work done on the FoRcE oNe track, which also now has an official title: “Top Pedigree feat. MooN ShynE.” We did a few more takes of Uno’s first verse and finalized the hook. I also wrote my verse and did some amendments during the week, so I’ll be ready to record this weekend. Once again, we’re aiming for this Saturday, and since we’re more than half-way done at this point, that goal is much more realistic this week than it was last week.
- ADM’s contribution had a decent amount of discussion this past weekend. K-Maculate will be spittin on this track with me, and after intense debate and clarification of miscommunication, we’ve got a concept and structure that we are all very excited about. Hopefully this coming Sunday we’ll be able to finish this one as well.
That’s it for now, we’ve got more coming to you, so stay tuned!

MsP Production Vault: Drum Kit – Soleternity BOTB5 Swipe Kit, Plus Roll Call ’10 Updates
Wednesday, April 7th, 2010It’s Wednesday, so you know what that means. New samples in the Production Vault! Every Wednesday, we will be putting up a new sample kit for you aspiring and established producers to download and use in your tracks.
Today, we have a kit from established producer Soleternity, who has production credits with over 20 gold/platinum artists. The homie Sol competed in the Grind Time Now Battle of the Bay 5 Producer Battle, and he has donated the kit that he used for that occasion to our vault. Now you can get these drums as well!
Head over to the MsP Production Vault to get this kit, and last week’s kit.
Also, take note of the new MsP Mailing List! Sign up to get weekly updates on our blog, the Production Vault, and other MsP related news and updates.
Some updates on Roll Call ’10 this week:
FoRcE oNe recorded his demo verse for his contribution to the album. The track is yet to be titled. It has a very strong Young Money influence as he is a big fan of them. We’re looking to have this one finished by this Saturday, so keep checking back to see this and more new releases.
Also, ADM and I started work on his contribution, which is a hip-hop track that he is producing and I (and possibly K-Maculate) will be supplying the vocals for (Peep the previous post for more details).
The last update we have for this week is work on Brian Bullion’s contribution, which will be an Incubus-influenced track. We’re a few alphas in, but we’re still missing some key ingredients to make this what we’re looking for. Hopefully, we’ll be breaking some ground soon.
Keep checking back for more updates! People are staying busy with the music hustle, and with the summer coming up and everyone on break, output is sure to pick up.

“West Side” Story…
Monday, April 5th, 2010Just a few notes from me re: Roll Call ’10.
Pipe organs – check.
Plucked chord drops – check.
Epic strings – check.
Dirty drums – check.
Long Beach to Compton – check.
1995 – check.
Ice Cube – check.
If you haven’t picked up on it yet, I have scored and am producing a hip-hop track (yes, hip-hop) on the MsP collaboration album Roll Call ’10. It has the flavor of an old-school, mid-’90′s, West Coast track. It’s not really a “Gangsta” track, though the theme for the song will be gang related, but only to a degree.
We don’t really want to give away too much on the content of the song but what we can tell you is that it will not be POV – the lyrics will be from 2 bystanders/observers. The track WILL play on your state of mind and you WILL feel like you just watched some psychological drama. Beyond that, you’ll have to wait and see.
Last night (4.4.10/Easter Sunday) MooN ShynE and I discussed how this track should progress and we came up with some interesting ideas as far as the “theme” of the song.
This track will feature:
MooN ShynE – vocals / mixing / mastering / arrangement
K-Maculate – vocals
ADM – producer / composer / storyline (partial)
I would appreciate MooN ShynE’s input on this as well…
That’s it for now………
