JAY Z VS. DRAKE ~ You Decide
Tuesday, September 8 ~ 2009
"Last name Ever, 1st name Greatest". Who is this, Jay or Drake?
Jay-Z: ...Drake's up next, see what he does wid it. (A Star is Born)
Drake: I never cried when Pac died. But I probably will when Hov does. And if my tears hold value, then i would drop one for every single thing he showed us. (Fear)
Some say that this is between The Freemason vs. The Next Generation. Sagittarius vs. Scorpio
Some say it's the battle of North America, the winner gets (or retains) ownership of Alaska. These are the rumors we've been hearing.
And if that's not all, GSP has decided to be Drake's corner man, while Jay... what more can I say, Hova!
Today Sept. 8th: Jay-Z's Blueprint Moved Up To Tuesday Release (Buy on itunes)
The release date for Jay-Z's highly anticipated album The Blueprint 3 has been shuffled due to bootlegging and leaks on the Internet.
The new album will now be released this Tuesday (September 8) as opposed to the original date of Friday, September 11.
Over the past two week, songs from The Blueprint 3 - mainly those produced by Timbaland - landed on net.
More recently, the entire album was leaked, prompting Jay-Z to address the issue in an interview.
"I may be the most bootlegged artist in history," Jay-Z told MTV News during a press conference. "It’s a preview. I’m excited for people to hear the album. I’m very proud of the work I’ve done, so enjoy it."
Jay-Z's benefit concert supporting the New York Police and Fire Widows’ and Children’s Benefit Fund will continue as planned on September 11.
Drake goes under the knife for his ACL basketball injury, videos for Forever & Money to Blow being shot. Word is, the surgery has been successful. See where it all began here in Aubrey Drake Graham unscripted: http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&videoid=12877201 Drake's So Far Gone EP Drops Sept. 15th.

TRUE CHAMPS, PRODUCERS OF THE YEAR
Vokab Vs Big Pops BATTLE OF THE BEATMAKERS
...
CMG PRODUCERS, BATTLE IT OUT IN THE SEMI-FINALS
Vokab Vs Big Pops BATTLE OF THE BEATMAKERS
It's been about a year since I came onto this guy's beats. Some guy by the name of... Vokab. 
Actually, it was the first time I got my head sprung by every beat on a myspace player. We had been on each others msn for years for some reason, but never said boo to one another. I went back to this guys facebook and had to let him know that he had some real "shit" going on. True story.
It's also been about a year since the last BBM (Battle of the Beat Makers), you know the one that had the biggest controversy of all BBM's when the crowd called for Contejous Managements' Arthur McArthur (www.myspace.com/arthurmcarthur) as the victor, but the judges scored the win to Boi 1da (G-unit, Kardi, Ludacris).
This year's grudge match was historical, but still left a lot of controversy (true story). We'll get into that further on.
Back to Vokab. Shortly after I contacted him, he hollered back and told me, "Legion Of Beats" got some shit too. About a month after that, I got a contact looking for some beats for one ofPrimo's artist. I immediately thought of Vokab. That's when he told me about his team with Contejous Management.
Enter this years Battle of the Beat Makers:
Contejous Management enters with not one, but three of their heavy hitters. Vokab, Big Pops, and newcomer, Nyra...Plus their grudge match player, Arthur McArthur.
I asked Mr. Contejous himself, his views on the battles.
"Pops (www.myspace.com/bigpopsbeats) started strong, which we talked about in the prep of the battle wow the crowd right away..." "(Vokab) he played a dope beat to start too, our whole teams plan was to start strong Nyra (www.myspace.com/dobnyra) played one of his doper beats to start as well (beat for Hear Ya Moms Crying), altho, because people had heard it before it may have taken away from peoples hype over it."
"its too bad that Vokab (www.myspace.com/vokabfulleffectproductions) and Nyra were eliminated by Big Pops (Nyra in the final 8, and Vokab in the final 4) but at the same time, better to lose to fam and know one of you is going ahead than to lose to someone you don't know."
"..overall I'm really happy how the whole team did. Nyra for his first BBM (and being the youngest on the team) did well getting to the third round Vokab for his first BBM and not necessarily having the Synth/South stuff that has generally (Ric Notes and Gigz aside) been really successful at the BBM did really well too getting into the final 4."
Unfamiliar with Nyra, I asked him who this Nyra guy was?
"Nyra is one of my producers as well he produced Infinite's first single of his new album "Hear Ya Moms Crying" and a couple other joints on Infinite's album."
In the end it was a Contejous night. Big Pops won it all in the end, McArthur won the grudge match against Boi 1da, and the whole team left winners.
I asked what the team is up to now and the near future.
"Our biggest team project right now is: Contejous MGMT & Traumashop Present: The Sound Of A Gun Mixtape w. DJ On Point. Hosted By Alchemist & Mr. Probz. Got the single "Sound Of A Gun" - Mr. Probz ft. Alchemist & Sonny Diablo (Prod. by Big Pops)."
"Also working on a ton with Big Lou (shooting 2 videos in NY this week that both ft. Mr Probz..both produced by Northern Profit (Big Pops, Arthur McArthur, Philly Blunt, and Badnuz)."
"...Had a track we did with Lil Wayne leak on DJ Big Mike's Grand Theft Audio 6 a couple weeks ago "So Many Guns, Ima Shoot One" (Prod. by Northern Profit) was on HiphopGame.com and AllhipHop.com. Also, have a lot of big names coming on our beats too but i dont want to speak on em just yet to ruin the hype when we want to build it, lol."
Shout outs?
"sound supremacy, the judges: boi 1da, gigz, and ric notes, all 32 producers who competed, and Legion Of Beats!"
It's funny; when I look back at my crystal ball that told me Vokab had this years BBM, just like it had Rick Notes in last years final, I shake my head and am glad It wasn't too far off. I'll keep it around for another year. Big Congrats to Big Pops.
Now back to the grudge match...
I asked Boi 1da his view on the grudge match...
"I won 2 rounds out of 3, but then they let the crowd decide, and he had more people for him in the crowd, so he wins."
In your opinion, did he rightfully deserve the win?
"No, but I'm not in control of that... but a win is a win, so congrats to him"
I replied, "Thanks for your honest opinion bro." And followed with, "Your overall take on the night?"
"Big pops, Mega man and Vokab impressed me. Shout out to all of them."
Unbeknown to 1da was the fact that there is still massive controversy about who really won the grudge match.
Legion Music and Media has plans to bury this controversial battle once and for all....

EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW WITH NEWLY SINGLE ANAYA HAYES
Legion of Beats Media~Wow! Its a pleasure to finally catch up with you. I know you have a hectic schedule, and I appreciate you taking the time to sit down and discuss a few things about your music career.
But before we do that, let the people know what occupies your time these days?
ANAYA HAYES~Wow... I just released my 2nd single..It's called "LOVE ME". My first single did well, so I was excited to release the 2nd one. This one's much more personal to me..I'm loving the response it's getting so far, and that so many of you relate to it! Keep the notes coming, I appreciate every single one!...
I recently signed a mobile content dealin the U.S. So my American friends can now download my wallpapers as well as voice-tones and ring-tones ("WANT IT" is available). I'm working on my album as well as the next few radio singles...Today, I'm in DC...I just came from ATL and NY..traveling to work with artists, producers and labels. Check out my video interviews at Connectid.net...there's always something new. AND I started a blog. Visit www.anayahayes.blogspot.com to see what I'm up to now.
Legion of Beats Media~Alright, we mos def will check it out! It's Valentines, your new single, and you're newly single (wink). What's a guy have to have on his application to get with you?
ANAYA HAYES~hahahaha. hmmmm.. first of all, I'm not "newly single"..lol.. A guy needs to first and foremost be Smart!..He needs to be able to keep up with me and keep my mind interested..soo important. He has to be Honest..Very very honest, because I'm a straight forward woman-when I like you..I'm an open book. And he needs to be supportive of my career-that's not easy to find, trust me!...Guys tend to be insecure when it comes to my work and my travelling.
Legion of Beats Media~ (takes application notes) How did you begin your music career? And what steps where taken to reach this point in your career?
ANAYA HAYES~I knew I wanted to make music when I was 6 years old....I sat there on the edge of my bed, listening to a walkman..lol...with "Vision of Love" inside...and I just knew. I started taking steps towards it when i was about 18. I had a music manager, but that was a failed attempt..so I put music on the back-burner for a while, to pursue other interests, because I didn't have the connects or the knowledge of the industry yet. But I'm back in full force now!...lol
Legion of Beats Media~Who are your non-musical influences?
ANAYA HAYES~I think the people that influence me are those that have pursued their lifelong dreams, their "personal legends" and succeeded. People like Oprah..The GREATS. People who live life trying to fulfill their destiny.
Legion of Beats Media~Your new single Love Me, tell us about it? Who was involved with it (songwriting/production/recording and mixing)?
ANAYA HAYES~The record was produced and mixed by August. HE'S DOPE!...A great talent, he's a singer, songwriter and producer. Check him out at http://www.myspace.com/augustrigo.
I wrote it alongside August and Hakeem- Ladies, check him out! http://www.myspace.com/hakeemsing.
He's a great singer/song writer.
Legion of Beats Media~What is the song about? What life experiences did you endure that relate to the song?
ANAYA HAYES~The song was very personal to me..I wrote it for anyone that's been lied to and (has) had their heart broken..it always seems that those that hurt you, or don't appreciate you at the time you are together, always realize what they've lost... in the future..and that's what "you're gunna love me, just wait and see" means. I didn't intend for it to be a jab at anyone, it was just a natural expression of words..and it turned into a great song!
(Anaya fan, LambBambi on Youtube)
Legion of Beats Media~ Yes, it is a great song! Your last single, "Want it," how was it received by the listening audience?
ANAYA HAYES~You guys showed so much love!
It got requested until it hit #12 on the Top 20 most requested songs on Flow, voted into the Top 10 on WBLK and it stayed in high rotation for almost 6 months!...You guys also voted it to #5 on the OTA Megacity Countdown. It got played in rotation on radio stations in Turks & Caicos, Spain, Germany, Poland & Japan. That made me soo proud! I appreciate the support from my city more then anything else.
Legion of Beats Media~Yep, it was a great single, even inspired us to do a remixfor it. Do you play any instruments? What was the first tune(s) you learned/sang?
ANAYA HAYES~The first song I remember knowing all the words to, was Whitney Houston's "I Will Always Love You"..When I was a kid, I use to get up and sing it on the bus and people would clap..lol..I can play the cello but I don't remember the last time I played-I think bass and the cello are sexy. lol
Legion of Beats Media~ (takes more note..."bass and cello") Do you come from a musical family?
ANAYA HAYES~Kind of..My uncle is a very famous international artist from Egypt, he's like the Michael Jackson of Egyptian music. I think there's probably a lot of people who are musical in my family who keep it under wraps because of culture or religious beliefs..My brother can sing too..but shhh..don't tell anybody.
Legion of Beats Media~ Lol. Which famous artist do you admire? Why? Which local artist do you admire? And Why?
ANAYA HAYES~Beyonce and Usher for being all around seasoned spokes-people, artists and performers... I love to know that people are grinding and pushing hard for what they love. It's not easy to earn a blessing like being able to do what you love every single day...so I admire those that are living or working towards that.
Local, talented, upcoming artists such as Kim Davis, Voyce Alexander, Set2, JD Era, Drake, Hakeem & Untitled.
Legion of Beats Media~ How do you balance your music with your other obligations?
ANAYA HAYES~Planning, Strategy and Passion.
Plan for the worst and definitely for the best, Strategies for efficiency and the biggest possible reaction/profit and put your heart and Passion into every single day-ALL DAY! You have to LIVE this type of job in order to succeed. Balance is key but ambition and persistence are necessary.
Legion of Beats Media~You definitely have the recipe for success. I advise others to take notes, too. What's in your I~pod/player/Whip these days?
ANAYA HAYES~hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm Canadian MUSIC!....like Kim Davis' "Sometimes", Drake's "Comeback Season" and JD Era's "the Coldwar" & a bunch of others...as well as some classics...the old stuff I love-Mariah, Etta, Stevie, Prince, Janet, Aaliyah, Sade...list goes on..O, and Britney, Jay Z, Lupe Fiasco, Alicia Keys and Keyshia Cole's new albums..
Legion of Beats Media~Favourite song from 2007?
ANAYA HAYES~That's tough....favorite song of 2007...?.....hmmmmmmm... I'm undecided at press time!
Legion of Beats Media~ Haa haaa. Which team did you favour in the Superbowl, Patriots or Giants?
ANAYA HAYES~I originally had my bet on the Giants..Cause they beat our Cowboys...but then I changed my mind, just cause-and I was wrong!...Lesson-Don't doubt the underdog!
Legion of Beats Media~Yeah, that Manning is a beast. Shout Outs?
ANAYA HAYES~Big shouts to my fam over at The Product Management and Reignman Music Management, August who produced my second single, Spinz who produced my first and JD Era for jumping on that record. Phat shout to Omen in NY & J&J over in ATL...Thank you to all the dj's spinning the records and to Flow for always being first to support local talent, special shout out to Rez & Ty for being innovators that the city will always remember, and to all the Canadian talent who rock the crowds & fuel the message boards underground and those who get the radio spins & do the endorsements mainstream...for all the others- Grind Harder!!
And Happy Valentine's Month! If he only makes you feel special on the one day---why are you with him?! (and vice versa!)...And if you're not in a relationship or if he or she broke your heart, Listen to LOVE ME!!! I wrote it for you..! I Say "LOVE ME, FIRST" You deserve it !!!!!
Legion of Beats Media~ In closing, I would like to say thank you once again, for taking the time out to conduct this interview. Much continued success... I'll be forwarding my application to you shortly, lol.

Introduction (in 3rd person)
Legion of Beats, known for their outstanding and consistent music production. Most notably, is their ability to produce various types of musical sounds, feels and rhythms without the use of computer programs or samples... they play everything themselves. When asked, why in this age of sampling do they tend not to do it, the non reluctant reply is, "Why give someone else credit for your own creativity, why give up so much ($$$) when you can do it completely on the merit of creativity?" Ironically enough, Legion of Beats influences are those who are sampled continuously (the classics) and those who sample frequently.
Legion of Beats members pride themselves in their ability to write full songs (lyrics, melody AND harmonies) and deliver in completeness... a finished product.
Even though they are able to deliver top notch commercial pop and R&B "chunes," they are most known for their productions with hip hop artist from around the world. Such artist include, Sonnie Sparkz out of Raleigh, N.C. (USA), Kameflazh from the UK, and top Canadian MC's out or Toronto; Richie Sosa, Mista Bourne, and Luu Breeze too name a few.
Major placements should be announced early in the year.
Also, artist currently working with Legion of Beats will be revealed later on in this blog, as well as more details pertaining to Legion of Beats.
