X:144 makes his directorial debut on this ridiculous song/ video.. props... serious props

The Aviator Is Dead

Mr Cloudy... Finally... you did your talent justice.

Alrighty peoples, where IMakeMadBeats gave me the tools to make music, Cloudy was the cat that made me want to be part of the Orlando scene. In fact, he made me want to make music and perform.

I was the new DJ on the scene making an appearance at Ehjays in Winter Park (RIP Ehjays) I was on crutches, and was also seeing how little I knew about cutting thanks to my also meeting K-Razor (Scratch Academy) and SPS (2008 DMC US Supremacy Champ, Zulu World Champ). But... I wasnt really that impressed with the local music until the headliners came on stage. O.F.F. (The O.rlando F.lorida F.oundation). These cats blew my mind away. The beats were sick, and all the cats had a ridiculous presence. Cleazy, Que the MC, Ru, and  especially Cloudy (kwon at the time). Cloudy had a mis-mosh of a kung fu outfit on both white and black pieces but was ripping the Mic, and he had the crowd captivated.

We later became friends and even crew. I was always let down that he never put more effort into his recording even when myself and Scrollman (tracks soon to be dug out) were pushing him to do so. But gone are the days of Kwon, The Aqua Doc, Dragonfist the Antagonist! It's Cloudy October now.

I am far from a rooster rider (if you get it, you get it) but this album is Fresh. Cloudy proves that he can rock any type of beat, and as usual uses a creative but sonically accurate delivery. Not only does he handle the rhyming but he is also handling the bulk of the production. Along with X:144 (soon to be profiled) handing mixing and mastering, the aviator is dead is a wonderfully packaged product. He is offering it free on his website but you can order one of the limited edition copies he has pressed.... and promote the hell out of him!!!

I have honestly tried to figure out how to describe him but it is hard because he is the Orlando version of Ol Dirty "there is no father to his style." But hearing his album you will catch hints of MF Doom, Little bit of Andre of Outkast, The Procussions, even Em due to his hint of comedy. The rhymes are sick and you can tell he is artist who is taking his craft serious.. Vagonbondage is my favorite track due to my preference of hearing Cloudy rock higher BPM beats.. either way..

Props to Cloudy

Hard Target - Bang!

Okay now I have said it before, and I will say it again. I dont understand how Target has not blown up yet. Dude is mad creative, his songs are dope and have commercial strength. All in all one of the more talented artists I have met in Florida.


So once again shameless promotion, I am not saying he is dope because I worked with him but the opposite, I worked with him because he is dope

I Make Mad Beats

Now some background...

Many moons ago, there was this student @ UCF I passed an Elements Flyer to. Little did I know that this single moment changed the course of at least my musical life. This young cat turned out to be "then" Nemo of the Paradox Unit. Although I was slowly trying making my mark on the Orlando Scene, these cats had already begun that journey. Through him I met Tzarizm, and the rest of that very talented camp.

I remember sitting in his room hearing some of the craziness coming out of those speakers, and remember telling people he was THE truth. In fact he is on my first recorded track ever. Little did I know how right I was..

Our relationship became somewhat strained many years later as our opinions and projects were different and some what conflicted with eachother, but I never lost respect for the dude. Not to mention he IS - THE guy who gave me the first tool to make music. He gave me the basic knowledge on the program and let me loose, and because of that I finally got a lot of music out of my head and onto MP3's for which I will forever be grateful..

Either way now he is IMAKEMADBEATS, still part of the Strangaz production team(Him and Tzarizm - both sick),BlakOut, and now he is Half of the Transcontinental (on Koch Records). Dude is still making ridiculous music. Check him out..

The site is http://www.incredibox.fr

It's by French Beatboxer Polo.

I am telling you Europe is killing this Hip Hop ish..

it begins.... again

Now I have had this damn thing for damn near a year, and not much has been done with it. I have come to realize in my "advancing years" that G.ood E.ntertaining M.usic is still appreciated. Shit I take personal pride in saying that I opened someone's ear to a certain music or that i knew about someone a year before they blew up.

I will continue that shit here. Whether it be from a producer standpoint, a DJ standpoint, or me just being a fan.

FYI
I am known as Santiago Skillz in "some circles", a decent DJ, a good enough beat maker but an avid music lover.. NY birthed me, but Orlando made me.

In addition to that stated above I will share dope shit I find online, stupid ish that makes me laugh and maybe the occasional good looking chick..

Either way the GEM district is here. And I will aim to please.. jeah
