The Higher Plane Interviews Mick Boogie

Wow, LATE PASS. So The Higher Plane interviewed Mick Boogie earlier in the summer, he talks about college radio, growing up in a town with no music culture, moving to NY and working with cats like 6th Sense.

Exerpts (read the FULL ARTICLE HERE):

HP: Your critically acclaimed projects, Viva La Hova (Jay-Z/Coldplay) and Adele 1988 (Adele/Break Beats) have been more conceptual or creative projects with original sounds from your team of producers. You also have the Motiviation series with DJ Benzi. Have all these different avenues just been a natural progression in your career? And how do you maintain such a good balance of working with industry heavyweights and up and coming artists, while balancing those genre crossovers?

MB: I've always been about being creative. I remember being a freshman in college in my dorm room mixing classical string records with Nas drumbeats, etc. You have to find a way to fuse cool things together to make even cooler things. I love hip-hop, especially good hip-hop. I always have and always will. But what I loved about hip-hop is that it always borrowed creatively from other genres. So, in a sense, we are doing that in reverse now by adding Jay-Z to Coldplay, or adding break beats to Adele.

HP: Speaking of the team of producers you have around you (6th Sense, Garbs Infinite, Remot, The Kickdrums, nVme to name a few), how does your process work on these projects? What role do you play from concept to creative execution to the fully mastered final cut?

MB: Well, a) these guys know what we like at this point and b) I'll come up with a concept and give them some rough parameters. Sometimes it's an email, sometimes a phone call, sometimes a rough blend I threw together using records that need a formal redo in a real studio. Then we send it back and forth making adjustments until everyone is happy.

HP: Finally, I know you are both a huge Native Tongues and Hov fan. There is a perceived resistance taking place in hip-hop. On one hand you have established artists seemingly toward the end of their careers, while the new cats are constantly labeled and cannot escape ridicule. So I ask, where has all the creativity and open-mindedness disappeared to?

MB: It's out here. You just have to look for it. Listen to KiD CuDi and Big Sean. U-N-I and Pac Div. Sixth Sense. Drake. B.o.B. Asher Roth. Hip-hop is alive and well...

Outasight - Brand New Day (DJ Edit)

Thanks to all the DJs and sites that have shown support to the song. Some incredible DJ's have personally told us they would love a version of the record with an extended instrumental intro for mixing purposes. So here it is, enjoy! Feel free to post/pass around as you wish.

Music video coming soon.

The Milkman feat. 6th Sense - Burn This Disco Out

The Milkman has been working hard on his upcoming Way Off the Wall project for a minute now and it's going to feature joints with 6th Sense, Fresh Daily, Black ELement, Print and more -- long story short: it's gonna be dope.

From Milkman:

This is a track off the Way Off The Wall project I have been working on for the past few months. Creating this song just showed me what a MONSTER 6th Sense is when it comes to work ethic. I was at home in NY right before I started my job in February, and 6th sent me a message that he was going to start writing to the beat. An hour later, he sent me a few lines, at which point I knew it was going to be crazy. A few hours later he sent me the finished track. WHAT? I know this track goes hard and hopefully you’ll all enjoy it; watch the video and be on the lookout for more. Shout outs to Black Element who convinced me to not just drop the instrumentals, but to forget about self-imposed deadlines and finish the project out consistent with my original vision.

Here's the first leak of the tape, "Burn this Disco" featuring and co-produced by 6th Sense.

Apple Juice Kid

Over the weekend a couple of our homies dropped some tracks that are worth a minute of your time.

First, Wale dropped the first mix of his joint "My Sweetie" produced by the illustrious Apple Juice Kid. As always, AJK goes in with the drums -- heavy African style shit on this track.

Download & Listen: Wale - My Sweetie (Prod. by Apple Juice Kid)

If you're not up on AJK yet, you're clearly sleeping. He just dropped a "T.I.A" remix for K'Naan (who gets name dropped in the Wale joint). Oh, and he made this fire with 6th Sense -- seriously, if y'all do one thing this week, let 6th and AJK know that they need to deliver this track to the people.

Next up, Donny Goines got on a track with Nero produced by Hannibal King that samples some Nas vocals.

Mick Boogie Talks De La Soul

Long-time Notherground collaborator Mick Boogie sat down with Time Out NY to show respect for De La Soul on the eve of De La's 20th anniversary show in in NYC. Click here to read what he had to say, and keep it locked for the MB's upcoming De La project.

Frequency Drops Welcome to the Freq Show

6th Sense's homie and longtime collaborator Frequency has dropped Welcome to the Freq Show with Trackstar the DJ on the mix. The tape is a mix of the Freq at his best and features a couple of 6th Sense tracks. Here's what TSS had to say:

Trackstar the DJ and Frequency, the New York based producer/DJ who’s collaborated with Snoop Dogg and Slaughterhouse, release Welcome To The Freq Show, a mixtape featuring the best of Frequency’s production work.

Currently working as Slaughterhouse’s tour DJ, Frequency’s full discography is too large to fit on one mixtape, Welcome To The Freq Show is a sampling of some of Frequency’s best work. It features songs with Snoop Dogg, The Game, Slaughterhouse, Cam’ron, Ghostface Killah, Raekwon, Ja Rule, Ras Kass, Wais P., Juganot, A. Pinks, EMC and of course 6th Sense (whose debut LP Highing Fly was almost exclusively produced by Frequency). As an extra bonus, “Welcome to the Freq Show” features “PTSD (Panic Attack),” which is the first official release by Freq’s newly-signed, first artist Adair.

The Kid Daytona on Myspace Video

Kid Daytona & DJ dB LIVE @ Hot 97 Who's Next w/Pete Rosenberg

Outasight Makes BET's Must Have Mixtapes

The other day BET announced something everyone knew already: Outasight's From There to Here: An Album Prequel is one of the "must have mixtapes" of the year. The honor groups Outasight with names like Rhymefest, 50 Cent, U-N-I, and other top artists. Ou and Notherground are definitely feeling the love.

Here's what BET had to say:

Outasight may not be a household name as of yet, but his work on "From There To Here" shows a ton of promise. With help from the likes of Oddisee, The Kid Daytona, 6th Sense and others, Outasight puts on a show with new joints and some loose ends that never saw the light of day until now.
