Gabby Young and Other Animals take New York by storm.

This past week I got to actually hang out with Gabby and Other Animals while they toured New York City. What a blast. I witnessed her and the drummer of the band who we called "And" after I mistakingly called him that one time. It became his new name and we laughed about it knowing we were just exited to be in NY and in good company. It was so much fun. CV is a part of Hotel Rivington's night bar/lounge where faces like P Diddy and Jay Z make appearances. The crowd was in a hush and then an uproar when they heard Gabby's astounding vocals. I got some footage of it below. It was a good sight for soar eyes here in New York where I feel the music can be predictable and dull. Gabby was vivid and humorous. She busted out a kazoo and actually had each and everyone humming and singing along before we knew what hit us.

Later on in the week Gabby took stage at Joes Pub where the impromto show at CV was afterward in no comparison. She had an opening act, great mics, and some bells and whistles to boot. Loved the show. You can hear a bit of the live recording here

Can't wait until they come back to NYC again. Or maybe I will catch them out in the UK. Until then . . .

7 Reasons why becoming a member of Beat365 rocks.

As you already might know I go by the alias Undakova (Undercover) and I am beat maker, DJ and MC here in NYC. I have been producing hip hop beats since the 90s and have produced my own hip hop instrumentals for my album created here in New York City. I often get asked by R & B artist and MCs "Can you produce some beats for my album?" One day the question popped up in my head "Where does an artist find great sounding Hip hop, r&b and rap beats that sound so good you play them in your car for fun as well as record song after song with them?" If an artist doesn't have a friend or business partner who is a producer or know how to/ want to produce beats on there own spare time (which can take a lot of time and money) where does he/she find a complete collection of hip hop beats? Well the answer is simple. . . . To find Hip hop, r&b and rap beats that sound so good you play them in your car for fun as well as record song after song with them go to Beats365...

Can somebody say Amen

After a week of seeing different people come in our house and leave our house with smiles on there faces still our sublet process is not complete. I wake up today and meditate my stress's away. Well most of em. Yesterday I spent all day working on a proposal for a school in Washington heights who seem to be interested in having an after-school program formulated by my company Willpowa. Weeks went by and I spent my days working on music and completing songs in the studio only to leave the proposal writing up to a trusted friend and fellow mc. Suffice to say it never got completed due to my energy being scattered amongst recording and subleting my place. Not to mention being a good boyfriend through the process. So turns out my friends from the UK want to look over it this weekend so I will have to submit the proposal in a bit late anyhow but hopefully with more spunk than it had in the first place. Anyway lets just say the only thing that helped me from not having a nervous breakdow...
