No Boundaries When Opportunities Come Knocking

Can't stress enough the importance of networking when it comes to this industry. Building up a network of talented musicians, vocalists, songwriters, and artists of all genres etc.. can be very helpful when you least expect it. We were given a couple of new opportunities this week. One of the assignments is a spanish rap song for a feature film trailer. We said to ourselves "How the ****? We have beats that can work but where are we going to find a latin rapper to complete a song? We went through our contact list and remembered that a friend and fellow producer of ours that we met a little while ago in LA at a conference works with spanish rappers on the daily. He lives in Spain. We reached out to him and are now working on this project. Hopefully all goes well and we win the spot!! Never know what kind of assignment will be in your inbox in this world of producing/composing so make sure you have all the resources that can benefit what ever task comes your way. Would hate to of passed up the opp because we didn't have the resources. Expand your contact list!! Network=Networth

Nike 6.0 Commercial featuring The RZA

Was watching TV the other night and saw RZA in this new Nike 6.0 Commercial. There is actually 3 different spots and they celebrate individuality and the role of music in action sports by having The RZA remix tracks inspired by each athletes unique riding styles. The one below is the best out the 3 but the other 2 are worth checking out too.
