Mastermind x @RickyRozay features production credits from Carolina's @JManifestNC & @LegionOfMuzik
In the midst of the Rick Ross Mastermind Album release there is a loud chant of support for a producer who, until now, wasn't getting credit for his production. If you purchased Mastermind today, look at the credits for track 3 and you will see that the production was done by J. Manifest (@JManifest) and Legion of Muzik (@LegionofMuzik). However, you cant believe everything you see on the internet...
For over a month, graphics headlined popular Hip Hop websites showcasing the Mastermind tracklist and track 3, "Drug Dealers Dream", didn't say "J. Manifest". Instead, Seattle's native "Jake One" was beside it. As this graphic traveled from website to website and from blog to blog, J. Manifest lost his publicity for this accomplishment. For over a month he sat back and on the night of March 2, one of the biggest conversation pieces about CIAA weekend in Charlotte, NC was Rick Ross calling J. Manifest on stage at the party he was attending to introduce the track to the crowd.
It was later cleared up on Twitter by Carolina artist and friend of Manifest, Jozeemo (@Jozeemo) with the simple tweet "So who produced #DrugDealersDream @JakeUno or @JManifest ?" in which Jake One rapidly responds giving credit to Manifest. Jozeemo is known from his work with Little Brother on "That Ain't Love" and the "Welcome to Durham" documentary.
Manifest states in his social media profiles, "March 4, 2014 is a milestone in my life and for the state of North Carolina." In regards as to how he got the project, "About 2 1/2 to 3 yrs ago, I met Rick Ross' manager Gucci Pucci and we built a business friendship. Ross had recorded on several of my records, but none made the album, which at that time was "God Forgives, I Don't". We stayed in touch and I continued to submit records, until he finally got one I called "Theory" which became "Drug Dealers Dream".
Manifest's work history includes music placement/credits under his belt with projects from Poe Boy Music Group, Project Pat, Max B, Beanie Sigel, Young Buck, and even Smack DVD/URL battles, but none with the weight of this highly anticipated album from Rick Ross. Currently he is still running The COSIGN tour which is a series of venue stops promoting his project "The Cosign Mixtape". Follow him on Twitter, Instagram @JManifest

"It was a great feeling when good bro Ricky Rozay requested that I introduce the record. It showed me that I did business with some real people. Not often do you meet those kinda people. It also was a good look because I was in my backyard- North Carolina. From that moment I knew it was real and I had accomplished something ginormous." - J. Manifest

NEW YEARS RESOLUTION: THE #WINDOWSEAT IS WHERE I WILL CONTINUE TO SIT!!! @BigVSkyzone
There are many changes awaiting us as 2013 changes into 2014...
Yet there are valuables from 2013 worth taking into the New Year. As 2014 is ushered in, remember to maintain the standards of work ethic, dedication and ambition that brought success to your life. May that hip-hop swagger that got you here keep you here. If the inspiration to create a recipe for success escaped you in 2013, allow me to introduce you to one of the ingredients I stirred into my pot of gold in 2013. Check out the first class ticket to my window seat in 2013!
Surrounded by constant commercial marketing schemes and endless attempts to turn my rent money into paper I spent on bullshit, I found a cool soulful breeze that kept me focused on important things. As mixtapes come and go, this one was different. Its not everyday that the songs you listen to on a day-to-day basis are songs that fit puzzle-perfect into the mood you need to keep grinding. Most rappers are caught up in lifestyles of the rich and famous and the imaginary dope kingpin tales that spin on radio and internet radio daily. Big V offered me a different rhythm to swagger my shoulders to in 2013. The #WindowSeat creator's lyrics are grounded in blue collar work ethic and poor man dreams driven my rich man ambition. Gems like D.W.I (Drive Wit Inspiration) and Sunlight inspire everyday people to wake up and hustle. Even while touching the general public's fascination with "coming up" and "living the life" type imagery, he takes the time to craft Window Seat into a personal testament of his life on songs like "1155 AM In Winston" and "Bubble Caprice" which make him seem like the person you see in the mirror.
Its rare you find artists that touch personal chords of our spirit. Even rarer, Window Seat is able to maintain to smooth, well produced continuity that allow the listener to ignore the fast-forward button. Whether you are a clear-headed hustler with a mapped out business plan or a cloud-floating 9 to 5 grinder about to roll up a jump rope away from stress, Window Seat was the soundtrack to success and happiness in 2013. SO, THIS NEW YEARS CHAMPAGNE GLASS (or Bud Light bottle) IS FOR THE WINDOW SEATS WE SAT IN IN 2013 AND ALL THE OTHER FIRST CLASS FLIGHT PLANS WE ARE MAKING FOR 2014 #SALUTE #BIGVSHIT #SKYZONESOCIETY

Keyshia Cole got some animosity towards Destiny’s children.First we got a kick out of her messin with Michelle & her Super Bowl performance, now after listening to Beyonce’s new single "Bow Down", she, once again, fired up her Twitter account with her critique:
Can’t stand when people all self righteous when it’s convenient it makes them look good. Lmao! But can still talk shit when convenient 2 FOH
First “Women need to Stick together” now bitches better Bow. Smh. But it’s all G! Chicks stay shooting the shit. But when I speak my mind its a prob. #Well #StayMad”

[PRESS PLAY]: D-BOY (@BILLYDOSE) x LADII PINK (@BITE_MYSWAG) - "GET RIGHT" PRODUCED BY KLEANBEATZ"
Came across this track while in a cyber interview about a controversial showcase. As the tension rose, i still asked questions and in the midst of it all this artist posted his plug. Now usually i despise plugs in the middle of FB posts, especially when I'm tryna do my sarcastic renegade thing, but the song fit the situation so here is a post dedicated to him droppin the background music. LOL Doing an article about this situation too next week because its almost that time of yr where showcases start to pop up everywhere and the controversy that comes with it from artists and their discrepancies.

[V-DAY PREMIERE]: @MARC LAW F/ @ASHLEYMARSHELL x "LOVE ME" F/ CAMEO FRM @NIKKI2HOT4RADIO (MUSIC VIDEO/SHORT FILM)
If you got some time, set aside a good 10 minutes because this short film is worth it. For me, because I know these people it was fun watching them act. Favorite part: "DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM?! Eddie Kane!"
The run down is a good storyline of your average underground artist facing the struggles of being under a label trying to make it. He's given an ultimatum to bring the magic or kick rocks. Picking a part time may not be what many of you artists wouldve chose to do but umm... to get that magic, you gotta get in the studio, get some production and promotion done and prove yourself. It's all about proving yourself. If you really want it... you will pick up a last minute cookin position, put on a dirty apron, and without even fillin out an application, follow the pretty lady to train. #POW #sacrifice
