Hello...You're Welcome.

DAME TAYLOR IS HERE!

About 3 years ago, my homegirl hit me up like "Yo, you gotta check out this producer I met."

She popped in the beat cd, and IMMEDIATELY I asked, "Is he signed?".

She said "No."

I said "WHY THE HELL N OT!?"

Through the years, he's been on a major grind, hustling, gettin his name out. If you are a fan of U.N.I, then you know the track "K.R.E.A.M (Kick Rule Everything Around Me)".

That monstrous beat is Dame Taylor.

Now he just got a placement on the G-Unit album with "Party Ain't Over".

Peep the man's bio right here.  This dude is about to be THAT  DUDE.  Not only does he make dope tracks but he LOVES MUSIC.  Kinda rare nowadays.

I love seeing the people around me on their way to their dreams.

Dame Taylor.  Remember that name, and check the vids below.

Damien Taylor, a.k.a. Dame Taylor on the Beat is an upcoming music producer.  His sound hits all over the musical spectrum.  But Dame Taylor's clear signature sound is in his sick drum patterns, which always draw in the listener.

This is a major year for Dame Taylor, as he has been blessed with major successes and is on a rapid rise in the industry.  He currently works with one of the biggest D.J.'s in the music industry, as POWER 106 DJ Felli Fel's engineer.  Felli has experienced major success himself with "Get Buck in Here" featuring Ludacris, Akon, Diddy, and Lil Jon, and was the #27 hit on the Billboard chart.  Dame also created a buzz with the hit single "K.R.E.A.M." (Kicks Rule Everything Around Me) for Hip Hop duo, U.N.I., which helped launch the group in a very short time with almost one million views on YouTube in March of this year, and is being aired on BET.  Now, Dame Taylor is breaking major ground with "Party Ain't Over', a track featured on G-Unit's upcoming sophomore album, Terminate on Sight.  "Party Ain't Over" will be the next club banger; but you may not see Dame two-stepping it up in the club.  The song title is ironic for this mystery man who'd prefer being in the studio than a big industry event; but, as he says, "I make beats, period…I'm here for the music, for the love of the music. I can drink, eat and sleep in my studio without fail.  I try to live by the motto work hard now and play later".

G-UNIT- PARTY AIN'T OVER

AFTER!

I used to sell mixtapes...

So we're in a digital age now.
Can someone please tell me why we still refer to mixes of and compilations of songs as "mixTAPES"?
I ain't actually used a cassette in almost 10 years now!

Peep the history of the mixtape.

Some very interesting notes:

The most common early mixtapes were bootleg 8 track tapes that were sold at flea markets and truck stops in the late 60's through the early 80's, with names like "Super 73", "Country Chart Toppers" or "Top Pops 1977".

In the 1970s, such DJs as Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five, Afrika Bambaataa and the Soulsonic Force, Kool Herc and the Herculoids, DJ Breakout, the Funky Four, and DJ Hollywood would often distribute recordings of their club performances via audio cassette, as well as customized recordings (often prepared at exorbitant prices) for individual tape purchasers.

Get a more in depth look from Run DMC, Grandmaster Flash, and others in this interview by MTV.

One should also note that in Africa, India, and parts of the Middle East, audio cassettes currently remain the most popular medium for prerecorded music. This suggests that the compact audio cassette may still be the preferred medium for mixes in at least some parts of the world.

And while you're at it, check out the DOPE ass website I got put on to called MUXTAPE.

Essentially, you create your own mix of songs and upload it online and it can stream over the net.  You make your own list, update it whenever you want.
Make your own now!  You know I'm finst to!

Also, peep this video by the classic West Coast group, The Nonce.  RIP Yusef Afloat.
