FiV Music Business Services is founded and run by me, Hubert Sawyers III. I am a Digital Media Enthusiast, who after many forays into Music Making, Music Production and Music Marketing found a need for an objective long-term Music Industry Marketing resource. Whether you are a new artist, an up-and-coming producer or you've been around for years and are adjusting to the new ways that music-heads find artists, I would like to help you manage your music business affairs better.
This week, I want to highlight one of my favorite DJs – Cosmo Baker of The Rub. I would go way into his history and explain why he is the best, but it would do no justice to his credibility and accomplishments. Check out the mix. I suggest you play it off this embedded widget, because there is an annoying commercial that pops up intermittently when you watch it on Ustream.
This was made by a good friend of mine, who is based out of Lansing [by way of Flint], MI. I know him as Terry “mrSlate” Taylor. You will know him as spiderjuice45 right now.
He’s got a project titled Strange Recipe that is available. Here is a wonderfully-trippy video that uses a snippet of one of the songs from the project.
Stay tuned. I have some more stuff to share from this guy. He is not getting away this easy.
Apologies for the late delivery of this post. We took the time to enjoy the Movement festival, which we will have a few follow-up posts coming later this week. That said, we hope this is right on time.
Homeboy Sandman is an eMCee based out of Queens, NY. He was educated at University of Pennsylvania, which may or may not be the driver of Sandman’s verbosity. Regardless of that, his record The Good Sun (Amazon link) is one of the best hip hop offerings of this year. It drops today on High Water Music. “Yeah, But I Can Rhyme Though” is a track off of it, featured on our RCRD LBL.
