On The Watch “Rick Ross and Trey Songz”

I’ve been watching the moves that Rick Ross has made since his first appearance back in 2006, and I gotta say that this dude is serious. Homey hasn’t stop since he step foot in the game. The self proclaimed Boss of MIAMI and Hip Hop’s heavy weight, is finally coming to his own and creating his own lane that can’t go unnoticed by his peers. REAL TALK! Ross has had countless hits blaring out in the clubs and on the radio, whether its him on his own or as a feature on R&B tracks, Ross comes in hard and delivers nothing less then hot topping chart tracks. The drive that Ross has displayed through out the year 2010 will definitely carry over to the New Year 2011 to come. Check out my DJ Blaze/Rick Ross takeover set and see what I’m talking about!

 

It’s been quite a journey for my man Trey Songz, ever since he jump on the opportunity to open for Jay-Z in late 2009, Trey’s life movement have been nothing but positive. He’s swag has been on some next level shit, he’s been dropping hits after hits and all of them have been chart-topping tracks for the clubs and for the radio. He’s also been quite the guest feature on many heavy hitters A list like Diddy, Rick Ross, T.I., Fat Joe and Drake just to name a few. The man is killing the airwaves right now; this year has definitely been his best music wise. I expect nothing less from him for the New Year 2011. Keep doing ya thang Trey.

Top Producers

If you’re looking for that radio friendly sound or that crazy club track that you can’t seem to get out of your head, these are some of the producers you need to holla at, real talk:

First up we have Ryan Leslie (the sleeper of the game) super producer/ multi-instrumentalist, singer/rapper of the production game. Ryan has produce hot singles for a number of artists from Hip-Hop to R&B. I call him the sleeper of the game because this guy is a musical genius…. check out the Ryan Leslie/Fabolous set I got up on the mixtape section, this dude is serious!!

Next in line we have Jermaine Dupri, Grammy award winning, producer, songwriter/rapper. This man’s track record speaks for himself. He’s always looking to make you dance every chance he gets. He’s always trying to craft that hit that makes all the club goers move.

Next up we have Super-producer Timbaland, an innovator who prides himself by staying ahead of the game with his unique trademark sound, which holds no boundaries. Radio loves him and the clubs can’t get enough of him.

Next up we have Mr. West, producer, musician rapper/singer. Kanye’s commercial success speaks volume in the music game, whether you love him or hate him, the man knows how to bang out hits. His futuristic style is like no other in the game.

Next up we have Swizz Beats, record producer, DJ/rapper. His production style and interesting ideas create crazy hype, whether you get him hyping up the track, on the chorus, or simply in the background, you’re pretty much guaranteed some mainstream success.

At the end of the day no album is complete without a hit record, these hit makers or all CERTIFIED!!
