Bounce To This?

2010 January 25
by stushmusic

Reppin’ Harlem and the Hood Rich crew, Spade Goon has decided to wear his producer hat on this one. I’m not sure what his motivation was  but I find myself pleasantly surprised by this Fruity Loops created track.

“Bounce To Dis”, recorded and mixed here at Stush, is the first of a series of songs that Spade vows to release each week.
You can also check out “You Don’t Know” and follow him on Twitter to find out when he drops his new releases.

Russian Roulette

2010 January 18
by stushmusic

Franchise Liaison is a rapper reppin’ Coney Island and a straight up, no bullshit dude. A client of mine for about 4 years and partner in a company called Professional Hitz.

Russian Roulette is the 1st single from his upcoming mixtape “Catch Your Breath” due out in March ‘10. The song features Head I.C.E, Charlie Clips, Embassy Elite & Un Pacino and check the video for cameos from D Chambers, Reggie Da Fire Kid and Cortez.

This is an example of how you can cut your recording budget in half and still have a great finished product. Liaison came to me a couple of months ago with this song as a Pro Tools session. It was recorded in someone’s house and the raw tracks were not bad at all. I only had to consolidate and import into Logic then do what I do and as you can see/hear the finished product speaks for itself.

For more on Franchise Liaison check out his website or his youtube channel. As usual vote or leave a comment and let us know what you think.

Project Crack

2010 January 12
by stushmusic

One of the things that amaze me about my studio is how people find me. I have clients from all 5 boroughs and the tri-state area. Quic N Teaz are two brothers that rep Staten Island. They have a very unique high energy sound and we introduced to me 5 years ago by Los Don who was recently featured as Harlem’s new King.

Project Crack was recorded and mixed at Stush Music and due to the fact that that Quic N Teaz have yet to be on time for one of their sessions we’ve had to pretty much motor through many of them. You can judge the end result. Let me know what you think.

A1 – Keep Coastin The mixtape

2010 January 8
by stushmusic

A1, a rapper from the west coast and ATG, a producer from the east come together to give you Keep Coastin, the mixtape. ATG has been a Denizen of  Stush Studios for about 3 years. He first came to my attention as the producer of the Illuminati mixtape and became a fan of the Stush sound.


His beats are reminiscent of the classic boom bap era of hip hop and it’s obvious that DJ Premier can be listed as one of his influences. I don’t know much about A1 other than I like what I’ve heard so far but I am definitely a fan of ATG’s production.

All the beats were mixed here at Stush Music but A1 recorded in the Bay Area so I can’t vouch for the vocal quality.

Download Keep Coastin here and let us know what you think.

INTERNET VS MACHINE

One of the rewards of owning a studio is watching artists develop and grow and CoDizzle has shown more growth than most. It took him about 2 years to find his voice and style and he has run with it since.

Internet vs Machine is his latest offering as he teams up with Da Hitman, CEO of Lord Gang DJs. They are currently all over the internet blogs and radio. You can listen to or download the mixtape here. Let me know what you think.

If you book 4 hours or more then it goes down to $40. These are sessions with me and are not the midnight specials with Jose. This offer is valid through 12/31. Have a great holiday from Stush.

Knicks Beard

2009 November 17

If you didn’t already know, I’m refusing to shave until the Knicks win a game.

So as promised here’s a pic of the growing beard. They play Indiana tomorrow night and I pray for a miracle cause I look like Grizzly Adams’ illegitimate brother.

Ride or Die Knicks Fan

2009 November 16
by stushmusic

I’m a Knicks fan, I have been since 1996 when I saw my first ever live NBA game at Madison Square Garden – Knicks vs Atlanta Hawks. Since then I’ve been in attendance for some memorable moments in Knick’s history.

  • Jeff Van Gundy hanging off Zo’s leg during the NY/Miami brawl.
  • Larry Johnson’s miracle 4 point play.

I’ve also endured the not-so-memorable:

  • Howard Eisely
  • Shandon Anderson
  • Clarence Weatherspoon

Throughout all I have loved and hated the Knicks with equal amounts of passion so believe me I’m in agony right now.

Last week I jokingly tweeted that I wouldn’t shave until they won a game. This is what I looked like on Saturday, November 14th. I’ve decided not to shave until they do in fact win their next game. I’ll post my Knick-beard pic tomorrow.
