The term " struggle rapper" and "struggle producer" is such a classless and corny way to refer to artist and producer. Everyone was a "struggle something" before they got their oppurtunity.
Commonwealths Friday events were extremely special. The who's who of the creative community in DC, MD and VA would come out, kick it etc.... The staff was cool and tapped in to the scene. Awesome awesome time. 💫
Bruh!!!!!!! WTF have they been doing in my studio. First I find braids behind the sofa now I find panties in the recording booth. Everybody getting fired!!!!!!!!😠😡😡😡😡
I made these 2 beats between 2008-2010 and I really believed in them music wise and sonically. No matter who I shopped them too no one picked them. I sold 1 beat last week and just sold the other one today.
It may take years to find the right home but every beat has a home.
Tiny Solar Studio Update:
Outside is 100%. Found some discounted premixed BERH deck over from lowes ($9) and painted the deck.
Also applied some used solar powered motion sensors lights ($15 for 4) I found on clearance at walmart to the steps.
Let me know what y'all think.
A lot of people have been asking about my tiny solar studio that I'm building. Here's a few data points.
- I'm building for under $5k total
- 15 x 12 structure with 10 ft ceiling
- Got 85% of building materials from facebook market place & craigslist
- 3 days complete structure.
It's interesting when people say "Judah you should've been bigger than you are" but what they don't understand is I'M RIGHT WHERE I SUPPOSE TO BE AT. IM WEALTHY AND I DIDN'T SELL MY ASS AND DO PEOPLE DIRTY TO GET IT.
BLESS UP 🙌🏾
Door color selected!! Went with an pumpkin/orange/burnt amber type color. Also have matte black electronic deadbolt and handle.
Builders Build!
Solar Powered Studio build. 🎛️🎚️💸
My imagination turned into reality. Plan your work and work your plan.
I'VE BEEN TO 6 STUDIOS IN THE PAST WEEK AND NONE OF THEM HAD ANY EXTERNAL HARDWARE. 4 OUT OF THE 6 DIDN'T EVEN HAVE SUBS.
1 STUDIO HAD A $100 MIC BUT WAS CHARGING $150/HOUR. 😵
ARTIST, PLEASE BE AWARE OF WHERE YOU'RE RECORDING.
Just got the call from attorney. I got the green light to put my Instrumental albums on all the platforms. Including the AMBER ROSE and Lupita instrumentals.

This is an example of my investment off music. Purchased a piece of forclosed property in MD from a pub check for $125k, Did $15k work of work now look what it's valued at.....$$304k+
We need to teach producers not only how to make beats but how to invest their publishing.
Part 1. Solar Powered Studio Update: The Studio is 100% COMPLETE. It took me 1.5 years to complete this and it was worth every trip, screw, nail and shout of frustration.
The first solared powered recording studio/creative space in the DC, MD and VA. 💥💥💥💥
Dear Artist:
Please understand that some producers don't want money from you. They just want acknowledgement for their involvement in your creation and most importantly...... CREDIT + (Publishing) for their work.
Credit goes a long way.

Siding Day!!!!!! I can't wait to show you guys the final color after the vinyl siding is painted.

If I was an artist....I would do singles and E.P.'s with every producer that wanted to work with me and drop them joints monthly. Y'all just flat out lazy and spoiled. 🤷🏾♂️
Artists bring everything but what they actually need to the studio.
They bring:
-Weed
-Liquor
-People
-Pills
They don't bring:
-Water
-Hard Drive
-Money
-Cellphone Charger
I'm extremely honored to be a part of the biggest documentary to date about DMV hip hop.
#AlmostToAwesome
I mentioned a lot of people, places things that were instrumental in promoting DMV Hip Hop and helped me develop as DMV studio owner and producer for 20+ years.

and these people still don't know whenever Karlie Redd invite you to a meeting that you should be fight ready or don't go at all. Smh
Isolated 🏝️
I started making beats because it was something I could do by myself, completely cut off from the world. Here I am 23 years later still doing it the same exact way.
Working on some production for a few overseas projects and mixing/mastering a few clients projects.
Whenever someone ask me about my music accomplishments and/or career...I've far exceeded any expectations i thought I had in music. I'm first generation producer/studio owner. I was to suppose to work for federal gov or metro and that's it.
Maryland's own Tanya Blount and her husband do country music now under the name The War and Treaty and just sung the National Anthem at the Det vs GB game. 🤌🏾
People often talk about how Neptunes, Timberland , Teddy Riley etc.... changed the sound of music production at some point. But no one mentions how Alchemist ji created that Dark murderous Queens Sound. That had an awesome run!!!
Meeting with DC, MD & VA artist this weekend that need help at this music stuff. Ready to sign my first signee to my new imprint. Holla if you want to meet.
