| | Mikes Modern Music Hook Up 'Tha Mike CD Mikes Modern Music Discography of CDs
PONTIAC, MI 2004 Two years in the making, Mikes Modern Music has released HOOK UP 'THA MIKE, an exciting and different bunch of tunes in the pop songwriter vein Mike has been in for many years, but with a few twists. Deep -groove hip hop style beats, lo-fi keyboard sounds, spacey percussion, and strangely effected vocals make HOOK UP 'THA MIKE the groups most adventerous and comtemporary release to date Mikes' critically acclaimed BURNING PERMIT (2002) and KING OF GUILTY PLEASURE (1999) stuck to a more rootsy sound, relying on jazz, pop, rock and R&B, this release swims mostly in R&B waters. And while most of the material on BURNING PERMIT related to songs of love, HOOK UP 'THA MIKE hits the beats hard on songs about living in the current state of the world Mark Clark of Michigan Rocks calls Mike "A masterful storyteller". The Detroit Metro Times commends Mikes Modern Music "for not being afraid to try out new styles And Fat Boy, proprieter of Café Tres' Magnolia in Savannah Ga. says, "HOOK UP 'THA MIC is a great drop, it's funny and has a great groove."

| | Jay-Z The Blueprint 3 CD (2009)
Hook Up 'Tha Mike CD music
$15.65  
On THE BLUEPRINT 3, still unretired Jay-Z announces "the only rapper to rewrite history without a pen." It's a standard Jigga boast, but the Brooklyn icon has earned the bragging by backing it up, particularly on his gold-label, top-shelf BLUEPRINT series. Ever-ready for battle, Jay-Z takes on autotune, crossover radio, and many other hip-hop concerns with the gloriously jagged rap elan for which he's become known.
When Jay-Z first made a series out of his best album, 2001's The Blueprint, it became a game of high expectations. The first volume saw Jay-Z as vital as he'd ever been, storming back to the hardcore after a few years of commercial success. THE BLUEPRINT 2 took a different tack, with guest shots to compliment his sinuous flows. BLUEPRINT 3 is somewhere between the two, closer to the vitality and energy of the original but not without the crossover bids and guest features of the latter. Kanye West is in the producer's chair for seven tracks, and it's clear he was reaching for the same energy level as the original. "What We Talkin' About" begins the album with a wave of surging, oppressive synth, while Jay-Z enumerates (with an intriguing lack of detail) what he's said and what's been said about ...

Annie ran into some obstructions on the way to the release of her second album. Don't Stop was supposed to come out on Island well over a year before it was finally issued on Norway's Smalltown Supersound; Island had gone as far as releasing "I Know UR Girlfriend Hates Me" as a single and video, as well as a cover of Stacey Q's "Two of Hearts" as a promotional single, but Annie and Island split, and Don't Stop finally surfaced with a different track list that included neither "Girlfriend" nor "Hearts." As on Anniemal, Don't Stop contains some of the catchiest, most clever dance-pop in circulation, ...

"Everything in life is a blessing in disguise." It is the motto of the band, "InDisguise," comprised of PAUL RHODES, of Kansas City, Missouri and SUZANNE JIAN, from the Pacific Island of Guam. The adage has certainly been on point since the beginning of their partnership three years ago - they met while co-workers at a major non-profit organization in L.A.It has not been an easy road, but the lessons have been well-learned and well-earned.RHODES' musical quest brought him to L.A. in 1990, and has since taken him throughout the industry, on promotions and performances of artists including RAY CHARLES, AMY GRANT, CORY HART and WANG CHUNG, to national marketing and distribution for an independent record label, to a six-year contract with BMI, writing and publishing music.RHODES, whose earlier works with BMI continues to be used in television programs throughout Europe, has opened for MANIC STREET PREACHERS and worked with MERCY BEAT, tapping his gift for creating musical intrigue, mood, depth and ambience. For JIAN, a prolific poet and songwriter who started composing poetry at 11 and music at 13, creativity and spirituality have helped chart a meaningful journey.Joining her first band at 19 after winning several talent showcases, she later formed her own - which captured top honors at premier Battle of the Bands competitions on Guam. JIAN, a lead vocalist in several Top 40/Dance bands, and a former top government aide, was often approached by visiting club owners and musical directors from L.A. and New York. She accepted select invitations to perform while working with ALEX VARDEN of VPS, before opting to focus on songwriting and recording. InDisguise' uniqueness lies in its members' ability to collectively blend their musical tastes and talents. JIAN contributes melody compositions and is the group's primary lyricist. RHODES' expertise lies in the utilization of sound effects, arranging and composing. Behind-the-scenes partner DAVID HADDAD is a gifted drummer, percussionist and programmer. HADDAD tours regularly in Asia, Europe, Australia and the United States, having opened for such groups as HERBIE HANCOCK, OTIS DAY & THE KNIGHTS and THE COASTERS. He has also recorded with JAMES INGRAM, ROBBIE VINTON (Roxy-Live) and STONE RAIN (John Anonymous).Results of their collaboration - a fusion of different music genres including Euro-dance, electronic, classical, Retro 80s, Goth and other underground nuances - are strong, rhythmic, thought-provoking pieces. They have been likened ...
