The Producers, Artist Spot Light Lounge

This is where we will be proudly show casing some of the areas top talent from the city mix to the sticks in the surrounding area. It doesn't matter whether you're from Iva, Williamston, Belton aka (B-Town) on up to Pendelton, (P-Town Ballers) Clemson aka Tiger Town, Central, Seneca area. There's only one requirement I ask of you & that is bring fresh authentic creative material to the table. We got enough of wanna be Jezzy's, Shawty-Lo's, & Gucci Mane's out here right, point & case let's hear what's going on in your area so our peeps can relate. Rock your style & stick to it. All producers & artist feel free to post links to your tracks, Remixes, websites, video's, soundclick, sound cloud, Facebook page's etc etc. Its going down in the A.N.D. fo sho!!!!!!




We got some hard hittin & spittin movers in this shot right here folks, these brothers don't get a lot of shine but they always are an example of what it means when people use the cliche " Get Ya Grind On". I have had the privilege of knowing personally three (3) out of the four pictured here. From L-R you have Bo Hagon most notably from Lil Jon's King of Crunk hay days, beside him towering is Sammy Joe aka "ALPO" originally from the A.N.D. & beside him wearing the hoodie is the ill spittin 4-4 Water and last but not least is the one & only Chadroc aka "The Beamer Boy'' at the video shoot of the song "I'm No.1" check it out on youtube its straight heat yall.


Its " Dawg Face" in this shot right here doing what he does best in the booth bring that lava flow from the streets ain't nothing pretty or soft when he starts to heat up the mic. Ive been knowing Dawg since the days we used to shoot ball at south side park & he is an accomplished artist in his own right straight from the skool of the hard knocks. If there's beef on record & he;s been dissed trust me he'll address it in the streets or in the booth pronto..Don't think so, go up on youtube & search "funeral for a F*gg" his latest diss record his words not mine. Beware there's a Dawg on the loose. (LOL)


Check the money shot right here folks its the A.N.D.'s own Dope Underground hip hop producer know as the " Trak Addict" taking time to pose with dj smash. Don't let the mild mannered looks of this brother fool you, before I even met him I was given a beat cd by someone & they told me to check it out. I was like whoever made these beats reminds me of a combination of jazzy pha & 9th wonder, (Im not joking) he's really that good in my opinion. We did a cashout remix of "Cashing Out" together & its 9ether fire fo sho, but what gets me is if you see him out he's very humble & one would never suspect he's a producer with talent like that. As he would say on his tracks "its the trak addict n!gga'


Can anyone say Kandy? You're looking at the man on the left in the red shirt who knows you can & according to him in a recent conversation he says he has some of the hottest new talent on deck ready to show & prove. This visionary pictured here with "smoke" in the Astros Jersey from where, you guessed it 1/3 of the infamous BADDAZIS group back in the mid 90's has teamed up with Kandaddy & Kandaddy Productions & they have been on a promotion spree here in the city. I was privy to a promotion cd he gave me along with a promo t-shirt like he's donning & from what I listened to he just might be on to something backing his claims. Some of his artist are K4G,check out HEMI here,Carolina Queen, and Bently Gold just to throw a few out there. Keep your eye out for kandaddy production, in my opinion based on speaking with him he's done his homework..Ain't nothing sweet about this Kandy Man & his stable yall!!!



This sexy mocha complexion sista who originates from the “A.N.D. can never get enuff props around the city if you ask me. Sheba Foxx has really blossomed into a “lotus flower bomb” as if she was in full bloom grown along the Nile River in the Delta. I met Sheba years ago one day while sliding through “Go Hard Studios” at its former location in South Anderson down on  Murray Ave, in the blue collar district of the “A’’ working on a magazine  collaboration at  the time with Prafessa. I noticed immediately this “Foxx that now rocks the Box” for 107.3 jamz on the weekends, had mega potential, full of ambition, witty, bubbling personality, very articulate, with a humble demeanor and a smile that warms any atmosphere she graces.

 I’ve always reserved much respect for her since our first encounter and now that she’s an “on air radio personality/dj.” I’m proud to say the only thing that’s change is now I have even a greater profound respect for her accomplishments as a business woman, a true representation of an “A.N.D.” diva. Keep doing what you do sista, in my opinion" jamz didn’t make you look good,you made jamz look good." It was about time they hired someone from the upstate to rep the upstate, common sense right? It seems this time they got it right, much love and continued success…..Peace “da A.N.D. reprsenta” Tuc


 












Producers and artist make the entertainment world go round inside the “A”, and you’ll get no argument on that statement from the man who goes by the pseudonymous stage name of “BiG Kuntry Slick” aka Kenny Benson. He doubles as a master barber by day while simultaneously laying down tight beats & penning fly lyrics latenites in his studio  called “On Point Productions” with his long time partner in rhyme Chris “The Playa Gold”. My man Gold also is one hell of a musician folks, he plays the electric bass guitar with the best around the city.  Popping up on the scene by way of New Jersey and Seneca S.C. BKS brings his studio & talents to be relocated in the A.N.D. yall. Check out the track “Where they From (A.N.D. Funk Baby)’’ produced by myself and recorded at  On Point Studios...…Click on the player below for dat A.N.D Funk!!! Update: Bonus Trk included  also "Scared Money" from Onpoint..



 







I must admit this collaboration of talent caught my eyes and my ears attention after winning a music video for a "Thursday Night Showoff" thrown by ROCK SOLID / GO HARD ENT. at Club 1421 in Tha A.N.D a couple years back yall. As the name would indicate “Gutta Brothaz” reppin the Westside of the “A” brought that grimy underground crunk gutter sound,  nothing less than that heavy hard hitting style they call “Weight Muzic” to the streets. As usual prafessa brought that prafessa-ional touch to the video while the Gutta Brothaz provided all the vivid imagery of the underworld ghetto hood life of the city. 

I first became introduced to the blazing flow of “Rah Eastwood” on “Da Luga’s” album called “Hello World” being featured on the joint “Cummin 4ya Head” a banger fo sho!!! As a spokesman of the “A” and supporter of raw talent in the music community, I find the hot joints no matter what part of town, and the Gutta Brothaz dropped a “heat seeking missile” like a tomahawk with this one. Peep the Video right here if there are any doubters in the room, these kats are for real and I know the real when I see it folks……




Once being introduced to this young talented brother many years back, I recall it being on a track with DJ Phat called “Taking Des Chances.” If you haven’t heard of DJ Phat folks he only just happens to be one of the dopest Boom Bap Hip Hop producers from the “A" who’s in a class all by himself. But I digress at this point to inform all my readers how I first came across the man Keith Maddox known as “Kacknifacent” as you can clearly see in the background shot of one of his infamous posters. The A.N.D. is oozing with talent and as a statesman of the city in this music game yall since the 90’s, it’s my pleasure to help showcase the wide array of bubbling talent we got popping. Kacknifacent Keith started as an affiliate with “All for One Ent” based on the west coast  out in Cali. He’s a dark brown stocky build brother standing around 5’6 tipping the scales at 240lbs  who writes, produces, remixes, records at his own home studio while at the helm of “Kack Made Ent” steering his company as CEO. If that isn’t impressive for a brother at the age of 30, with ten years already in the game then you tell me what the hell is!! Born and raised not in Compton but straight off the streets of Nardin Ave in the low income area of the city’s South Side making him quite familiar with hood drama and hood politics. To his credit he’s offered up thus far the “Kacknifacent CD” & "The Mili Mixed Tape" helped to produced artist such as Bud V, Inches just to drop a couple of names for the naysayers. Peep his grind on the music site reverbnation,you tube, and of course Facebook. If you wanna hit’em him up for some tracks you can contact him at Kackmade@gmail..  Self Made to Kack Made even Stevie Wonder could probably see Keith's vision and grind ain’t no damn joke. 



The brother Drell is a high caliber talented "musician" meaning for all you new skool producers he actually plays an instrument. I first met him in the studio at Onpoint productions on the southside, he’s a very accomplished funky bass player who knows talent and music inside out. Of course that’s how we met talent recognizes talent. Ya heard!! Here’s a little info on what this brother is about in the A.N.D.  Hiya Call'N Productionz is a Recording Studio & Production company that was started by Man"Drell" Aiken in 2003. He has been involved as a producer on large and small levels  but his passion to do it makes it ALL worth it. He is surrounded by a staff that helps push the weight of production of every genre to the best of its potential. HCP offers Music Productions, Song writing, and composing like never before.
