Man this rocks!

Many may have already heard the Mosdub project by Max Tannone because it has made the rounds at many prestigious and cool blogs. We decided to do a short Q&A with Max the creator who is following up on the huge success of his Jaydiohead project (a Jay-Z & Radiohead remix album). I highly recommend going to his www.mosdub.com website and downloading yourself a free copy!

Next Thing: You got a huge internet buzz from the Jaydiohead (Jay-Z & Radiohead) remix album did u expect the reaction to be so strong?

Max Tannone: Not at all. Jaydiohead was a personal project made for fun. The fact that others enjoyed it so much definitely came as a surprise.

Next Thing: How long have you been doing music, are you also doing original productions?

Max Tannone: For the past 8 years or so. For most of that time I worked on making beats, whether sampled or original compositions. I spent a lot of time trying to get beats on major label projects, for rappers, but it was really frustrating. The remixing is a fun outlet - I still get to work on creating tracks, while already having vocals to experiment with. I posted up some random original tracks I did here –> http://soundcloud.com/maxtannone/sets/hors-doeuvres
Also, track 7 (”Too Many Rappers [Max Tannone remix]“) on my Beastie Boys project “Doublecheck Your Head” is a non-sampled track I made.

Next Thing: The Mosdub record is great what inspired it?

Max Tannone: Thanks, glad you are enjoying it. I got heavily into dub reggae music - mostly older stuff. Listening to these great tunes was my inspiration. Sometimes I hear stuff and I want to re-interpret it into a hip-hop context. I chose to use Mos Def because I’m a big fan of his, and because his lyrics are often very political and socially conscious, which is a good fit over dub and reggae tunes.

Next Thing: Whats next?

Max Tannone: I don’t know yet. I’m working on some stuff but its still in the early stages. I had a lot of fun with Mos Dub, so I don’t know if I’m finished with dub yet! I’m always listening for ideas, so we’ll see..

B.o.B has a unique talent in that he produces, writes, raps, arranges, and mixes his own music. He is a one stop music creation shop from top to bottom. This allows B.o.B the rare opportunity of recording with reckless abandon. It is a freedom that he willingly accepts. “I am constantly coming up with songs and concepts because I want to sound different. Nobody made it by sounding like everyone else.” This unique sound caught the attention of two industry heavyweights, Jim Jonsin and TJ Chapman, who are poised to make the rest of the world believers.

Hit beat maker Jim Jonsin, who has already made his mark by producing fire such as “Give It To Me” by Sean Paul and Danity Kane’s “Showstopper” in addition to smashes by Trick Daddy, Trina, Pretty Ricky and others, has signed B.o.B to his Rebel Rock imprint as the flagship artist. Plus, the industry tastemaker, TJ Chapman the CEO of TJ’s DJ’s is serving as B.o.B’s co-manager after helping launch the careers of T-Pain, David Banner, Yung Joc, and Rick Ross to name a few. Why? TJ Chapman simply believes, “B.o.B is the next superstar.” Atlantic must have agreed as they have signed B.o.B to their roster and are eager to help B.o.B achieve his dreams.

This LA based female duo is a part of the new dance craze and LA hip hop movement “Jerkin”. Kids everywhere are starting to do the “Jerk” dance. The first group who has a big song on the radio is the New Boyz “Your A Jerk” but the Bangz seem to have a lot more appeal as a group where the New Boyz are smelling very one hit wonder. The Jerk movement is very new but taking off very fast, the amount of home made Youtube videos with a couple hundrend thousand views is staggering. The Bangz were produced by established producers the “Co-Stars” who have worked with the likes of Jay Z and Missy Elliot.
