Another classic on 7 inch with some odd cover work.
Last Friday night, Vik and I were invited to witness Jay Sean and Birdman blow most new artists whole album budget on one party. London hasn’t seen anything like this for a long time. Guests included Birdman and Slim of Cash Money, Rihanna, Ice-T, Alesha Dixon, Manny Norte, Reggie Yates (with Jay-Z wardrobe in tow), Craig David and many more.
Very big event for the UK music industry, indie artists, and for south Asian artists. This guy is in unchartered territory and scouring the landscape very well. Jay Sean’s album ‘All or Nothing’ is out now. Purchase links are at www.JaySean.com. Props to Kodak for the Zi8 cameras we used.
Here’s the exclusive we shot with our friend Neil Armstrong, who is Jay-Z’s tour DJ and a maker of incredible mixtapes like the ‘Original’ or the ‘Sweet’ series.
Part One – His history as a tapemaker, getting the Jay-Z gig.
Great line = ‘Jay’s the party, I’m the confetti, at best… I’m not up there to do a DMC battle‘
Part Two – On his Blueprint 3 tour schedule, the Kanye and Lil Mama debacle and DJing with Jay-Z for Obama
‘Jay and myself were the first MC / DJ combo to perform for to ever DJ for… the first black president‘
Shout to all of our geeky DJ friends around the world!
