Waajeed – Roger Jr. [Audio]

Produced and arranged by Waajeed for Bling47. I was California dreaming as I did this track in Winter of 2007. The reality was I was stressed out, cold as fuck, and solo in my apartment in Brooklyn, NY. You’d never guess it from the track though. This one reminds me of another project I did for Samy Deluxe and AFROB for their joint work ASD in ‘03. The track was called “Hey Du” — Went gold… (Hey! I never got my plack.) Enjoy. – Jeedo Previously: Waajeed – The Doo Wops [Audio x Download]

Bling47 Breaks Dilla Edition: Rich Medina – Oblighetto [Video]

Bling47 Breaks takes you on a journey into samples used by J Dilla. Filmed, edited and animated and directed by Waajeed. We make another stop in Philly this week with my close friend Rich Medina. We spoke about a remix I slept on for years, “Oblighetto” by Brother Jack McDuff. I always knew about the record from sampling it on my own but somehow I managed to overlook Dilla’s take on it. When I saw the 45 I flipped – “A fucking 45!” Wow! Rich always had to nack to shock me with records and his extensive knowledge of them. In our convo he made some interesting points. Peep it. – Jeedo Previously: Bling47 Breaks Dilla Edition: Black Milk – Shake It Down [Video]

Bling47 Breaks Dilla Edition: Black Milk – Shake It Down [Video]

Bling47 Breaks takes you on a journey into samples used by J Dilla. Filmed, edited and animated and directed by Waajeed. This weeks Bling47 Breaks comes from another one of Detroits heros Black Milk. Finally got a chance to chop it up with Black after not connecting with him for many years. I don’t say this very often about most people but I like Black. He minds his business and is about his business. I salute that! We chopped it up one afternoon about life, local politics and beats. He decided to cover this Boz Scaggs record that I didn’t even know about till now. Thanks to Bill and Hex for helping this happen. – Jeedo Previously: Bling47 Breaks Dilla Edition: Waajeed – The Look Of Love [Video] | J Dilla – Rebirth Of Detroit [Album Stream]

Waajeed – Big City [Audio x Download]

Here’s an instrumental from the Universal Records release I mentioned last month. No samples on this one – the UK publishing company was super strict about that. It started as a ruff idea produced on my keyboard and turned into a full live string production. We recorded it and mixed it in two days at a full studio near Detroit where I always use the same engineer, grammy winning Todd Fairall. Keep a lookout for it in the background of some TV shows. This download is on my soundcloud page here. Enjoy! – Jeedo

Monica Blaire – Set Me Free [Audio]

Produced by Waajeed & Maestro. I’ve worked with Monica Blaire several times over the last couple years, and everytime has been a pleasure. She’s focused, efficient, and talented as hell. Along with her primary producer Maestro (of Silent Riot) – together we are a Dream Team. When we collaborated for a track on he 2006 project titled, “Portrait of Me,” I had no idea we would make one of my more notable tracks to date. This one is a classic in the hearts of Detroiters and those in the know.Originally I did this beat in a hotel in Manchester, England as a submission for John Legend’s sophomore album Once Again. After a rough track was done, it needed something else to bring it home. Maestro added the perfect ingredients to fill it out and make it bigger. He killed it. I guess it was too left for John, so Monica Blaire stepped in and wrote some of the most stellar lyrics I’ve ever heard. When Maestro played it for the first time it hit me right in the gut! At some point when the time is right I’d love to reconnect with my Dream Team. Until then, feast on this. – Jeedo

PPP feat. SA-RA – Deep Inside (Belle Isle Remix) [Audio]

Remix of Deep Inside by PPP feat. SA-RA. Produced by Waajeed and Selan. I remixed this track for a Mix CD I sold on the road to support the Abundance Album. It had some circulation, but I felt y’all should get a chance to download it in full. I met Taz Arnold while sharing the same London based management. He came out to the D and shortly afterwards, I met him and Major in LA where we recorded “Concrete Nigga.” We recorded in Michael Jackson’s studio where he had a 4 ft. high room over the recording booth for his monkey Bubbles to watch him record — No, Bubbles was not there and the room did not smell like monkey shit. I got some help from the homie Selan on the boards. Two step to this. – Jeedo

Bling47 Breaks Dilla Edition: DJ Dez – The Hustle [Audio]

Oh my god, Oh my god, Oh my god. Whaaaaattt!!! Who the hell starts a song like that!?! Only Detroit’s best rap group in history. Slum Village was a cornerstone of style for too many emcees to name. “The Hustle”, was one of the many tracks they displayed this effortless swag. DJ Dez was the DJ for Slum for many, many years. Despite his recent fallout with the group, he was the perfect person to breakdown this classic bootleg. Enjoy! – Jeedo Previously: Bling47 Breaks Dilla Edition: Waajeed – No [Audio]
