Preview "Self Made" album (Big Dave FT Joell Ortiz, Necro, Kurupt, WC, Kyza)

[bigdave]

Nothing is what it seems.

Take a skilled self-taught producer with a dance music back ground and combine his sound with the outspoken yet poetic lyrics of a street level MC.

Throw in guest features from Joell Ortiz (Shady Records/Slaughterhouse), Necro (Psyco+Logical-Records), Kurupt (Tha Dogg Pound), WC (Westside connection) and Kyza (Dented Records).

Then balance it all out with the mastering skills of Sameer Sengupta (Ministry Of Sound) at Studios 301 in Sydney.

The end result?

Big Dave - Self Made.
A cross bred blend of hip hop, commercial dance, house and street culture produced by Grantwho?.

Why you called this "hip hop"? Damn it doesn't have even one average beat

I didnt call it hip hop bro...Called it "cross bred blend of hip hop, commercial dance, house and street culture"

Ive been an MC on more 'average' hip hop beats for years but with my debut my producer and I wanted to take our sound in a new direction and mashed up the music he loves and the music I love to make something unique.

If people are after an album with regular hip hop beats this isnt it man.
This is on a more experimental sort of vibe.

On more album news Necro has decided to use the collab we did with WC on the album for one of his upcoming releases.

We just threw up a little vid of the back drop to our music video set for the good life single getting painted up if anyone wants a look.


Australian hip hop store Soul Clap Records have signed pre-orders of the album on sale till release day for $20AU.

Outside the box collab hey bro...lol

It came about because 2 weeks before the final mixs were due for mastering Ice Cube and WC came through my town and did a show with us.
I asked Dub to drop a verse for the album and he was cool but I hadnt thought too far ahead and we didnt have another track for the album he could spit on.

The track with Necro was the hardest on the LP and we thought the beat suited Dubs style so we cut my second verse and Dub jumped on the track.
I been a WC fan since Curb Servin so I couldnt let the chance to work together slide!
Not sure how it will go over with heads in the US but we did a show with Bone on Friday and Wish was feelin it.
Had the crowd jumpin down here.

We just dropped the first single and music vid if you/anyone would like a look.
The songs called The Good Life.
