17 Hertz 2 Year Anniversary BBQ
Ok so it's been 2 years since I started 17 Hertz. Everyone knows the story, 3 years I had nothing and now I can't be any happier. The studio I always wanted to build since I was 14 years old, is no longer a dream. Not only is it not a dream, but it helps other get closer to their dreams. In 2 years we worked with
E-40
Black Eyed Peas
Chad Hugo (Neptunes)
Sha Money/G-Unit
Bobby Valentino
Dem Hoodstarz
Jacka
Clyde Carson
San Quinn
Big Rich
Traxamillion
Devin The Dude
Ya Boy
Mr.FAB
Rae
Go Dav
Jimmie Reign
Roscoe Umali and many more.
To be real I would like to thank everyone who help me get to this point and to all the people who wanted to see me fail, I guess you still got to wait a little longer. Don't think I don't remember when you didn't believe in my dream. Oh yeah thank you to all those people who bought me food when the boy was hunger, I'll never forget that, it was only 3 years ago. As long as the boy is doing ok, you guys will never pay for lunch when I'm around. Thank you to all my clients, 17 Hertz was built for you guys. To all the other studios who copied my style, $25 an hour, flossy studio, all that is me. Where did you learn that from huh? We're here to stay, you here today, gone tommorow. Sad. When it all starts to fall down, start to look around, the ones you call your friends won't be anywhere to be found. 17 Hertz only 2 years old and running shit, ask your favorite artist about us. lol

Devin The Dude at 17 Hertz Recording Studios
Yo right when my plane touched down from Atlanta I turn on my phone and there's a bunch of text messages saying Devin the Dude is at the studio. Yo I'm a big fan, and he's at my studio working, I couldn't go see him that night but Sam and Jose worked with him and said he was real cool. Yo if you don't know him you might know that song by Dr Dre "Fuck You" Devin sings that part "I just want to Fuck You, no kissing or hugging girl you got a husband who loves you. Don't need you all up in mine." Yo check out his new CD (Waiting to inhale) my favorite song is on it (What a Job) the soundtrack to my job.

N-G-O in the A-T-L Bobby V, Young Jeezy, DJ Green Lantern and many more
Sept 13th, 2007 Atlanta
Now where do I start with this? Ok so I went to the ATL to do a session with Bobby Valentino and to buy tracks from producers. So we get there and the first night I was sick, so no going anywhere for me. I got sick because in the morning I was in the back of a cab in NY going to the airport and this cab driver loves to break hard. If you really know me, I hate sitting in the back of the car when the driver can’t drive. So I got sick. Next day I was in the studio with Bobby V. and hella producers came by to hit me off with tracks. KanyeBeatz, First Born, Fiend, 88 fingers, DJ Green Lantern, L4L, and many others. Well it was time to start the track with Bobby V and let me tell you the boy is a professional. Everything was real good except, the lawyers were fucking around. They were fighting over points and publishing and a bunch of bullshit. So something that should have took an hour took over 8 hrs to resolve. You know why they did that right? To get paid, they get paid by the hour, so when the deal was close to being done, they fuck it all up to extend the time so they can make more dough. Yup I was stressed out the whole time, but we got it done. But while that was going on we sent a intern to go get pizza and it took 3 and half hours to get my food. When he came back everyone was dying of hunger and I gave that intern the business. So just to let you guys know this music business is not for everyone, you got to be tough to be in this business. But when it was all said and done the track with Bobby V came out real good. Now we went from Doppler studios to Dallas Austin’s Studio to meet with the producers. We also meet Chris who is an A&R for Capitol , real nice dude. Then we went to Royal a little Bar in the ATL, and when I went outside when we were leaving, a Ferrari and a Bentley roll up, and it’s Young Jeezy, we exchange info and that concludes my trip to the ATL. Yo they making moves out there, much respect. One more thing my boy Alf from L4L music is doing it in the A, I'm very proud to have motivated friends I can reach out to in the business. Like I've always been saying, "I'm real blessed, kid."
