Just Blaze talks about how he started off as receptionist in a studio!… shows how far you can really go from the bottom with ambition and persistence… He also talked about how his signature drop began… I think he just might have been one of the first producers with their own signature drop. Overall good interview… a lot of info about how he started off and works.

i was surfing through random performance vids of Stevie Wonder and had a random thought what if he had an arp 2600 could he use it ? i mean he’s blind it would be impossible but apparently it is possible found a few vids of him demonstrating it and even using it with a vocoder check it out

a clean look at the arp 2600 for those that aren’t familiar with what it looks like to be blind and work this is incredible !

here’s a few other vids i caught of other Stevie and vintage synths in action… check it out after the jump

Hard Knock Life is one of those songs that comes on your ipod that you can’t skip even if you wanted to cus the beat just pulls you in… Jay says he recorded the whole song in like 5 minutes and 45 King says the beat was sampled from a record he found in a salvation army for 25 cents!

This must be the realest shit ever. We did this track like 3-4 yrs ago during the grind, trying to get shit moving. Just knowing what he was dealing with during this time period makes this record more than just a song. The sample used in the song was taken from Bob Dylan’s “Lay Lady Lay”. I noticed a bad quality version of it leaked so I figure might as well put out a better version.
