Versatility: Nina Project

Here in the Philippines specially in the world of local music industry versatility is the name of the game. To be able to survive one must be versatile. For the past couple of years i had the oppurunity to make different music from diffrent genre. In this series of blogs ill be posting some of the projects i had with other artists. some projects may not be hiphop related but this to show that thru this projects i have learned a lot from arranging to sequencing and be able to distinguish what sound a certain market demands. dont get me wrong my love for hiphop music in untarnished hihphop music has given me a lot of oppurtunity from travelling to other countries to buying things that i want to have. however we have to do some reality check we need to be flexible so enough yidi yada here they are....

This Project was given to me by Neil Gregorio of Warner Music Philippines the big boss during that time was Sir Ricky Ilacad whom i had the opportunity to meet and talk to. After the Rekognize album that was distributed by warner i recieved a call from Neil. He asked me to drop by there office this was still in malate manila just beside malate church and he said that he has a project he gave me a demo of nina and i was really mesmerized by her voice he explained to me what ninas packaging is and that the album demanded a hiphop vibe to it. he asked me to include an Mc that has a distinct voice. that time jarule was quite hot so i had Nathan J in my mind however i had no way of contacting him. quite fortunate though for artstrong we were making the legit misfits album that time so we were pretty much close so i asked artstrong to drop some rhymes and he did a good job to the song.
