Hey world. I'm just posting an update about my entry into a weekly remix contest at Kevin Nottingham's blog. You can check it out here.

It basically works like this: First of all, this contest is dedicated to Jay-Z's classic, The Blueprint. Each week is dedicated to a different song from the album. There will be a total of 13 weeks. So every week, he posts an acapella and the sample that was originally used in the corresponding song for that week. The challenge is to produce your own remix by flipping that sample the best you can and then post it up to be judged by their judging panel. I'm not sure what the winner gets besides valuable exposure which is good enough for me! Plus it's fun!

Anyway, I've entered the contest myself for one of the weeks (week 11) and I had to flip Natalie Cole's "I Can't Break Away" for Jay-Z's "All I Need". I'll have my remix up for you to listen to in the near future. In the meantime, you can check it out here. Mine is labeled as "Cam'rox.mp3"

Enjoy!

Edit: Here is a download link to my remix

He touches on how he got started as a producer, how he discovered myspace, and he goes into detail about the making of E-40's "Tell Me When To Go". Check it out!

I was reading Jake One's blog earlier today and on it he talks about this dude named Malay who is a multi-instrumentalist and mutli-genre producer. I did a lil research and found more of his work and all I can say is wow. Some of the tracks he did, I was already a fan of before I even discovered who he was.

Anyway, below is a cool lil video interview I found with him. Dude is a genius. Be on the lookout for him. and Google him if u don't already know about him.

How good was the recently-passed PRO-IP Act, the bill that pumped up intellectual property enforcement and created an executive branch "copyright czar" even though the executive branch didn't want this and thought it was a bad idea? So good that the bill alone can shore up President Bush's legacy after years of war, Katrina, wiretapping, and economic collapse. In other words, lawmakers busted out a fresh jar of Awesome and slathered it all over the PRO-IP Act, which President Bush—no doubt thinking of his legacy—signed into law Monday.
