I am looking for singers, MCs, other musicians to collaborate with in a long distance fashion... or locally if you are based in NYC.
If you are interested, hit me off with a message and let's start emailing and talking about it a bit. You can hear my work on my two or three MySpace pages... email me some acapellas, or vocal tracks.

now i spin in nyc from time to time, remix tracks, rework tracks, produce original beats and music for films and such, and have tried to develop a technique of the 'dropped' remix which almost has miore to do with art and society and sexuality than it does about music... more about that to come on the other site...
I HAVE SECOND MUSIC PAGE !!!
it will be a rotating selection of tracks. Some downloadable for only a limited amount of time...
Right now you can hear:
- an original track with Saul Williams and BC of Red Tide (red HOT Tampa crew!)
+ a rework of a b-side Pete Rock & CL Smooth track
+ an original from an unreleased soundtrack!

Kathy Huckleberry Said for me to get ahold of you and see what you thought of the new song. By the way My name is Tracy the Bass player for Saint Phoenix and I have worked with Kathy for many years. Hope you enjoy, it's a rough mix, it's called Jealousy Lines, and it is a headphone mix it hasn't been mastered yet.
Men claim that Mao [Qiang] and Lady Li were beautiful, but if fish saw them they would dive to the bottom of the stream; if birds saw them they would fly away, and if deer saw them they would break into a run. Of these four, who knows how to fix the standard of beauty in the world? (2, tr. Watson 1968:46)

I am also now looking for talented hip pop, grime, garage and house artisist's that would like to feature on the mixtape.
