Terrence “SP†Smith, a new and upcoming Hip Hop Producer always knew that making music was what he wanted to do. Growing up in North Long Beach, California music was a daily part of his life.Producing since the age of 16, an Alesis Hr 16 Drum Machine was his first tool. Influenced by the likes of J. Dilla (R.I.P.), DJ Premier, Pete Rock, and a host of others that have paved the way, he has used his keen sense of sound in an effort to preserve this music called “Hip Hop†that has nurtured him into a man.With the help of his Akai MPC, Pro Tools and classic vinyl records, he is currently working on his first public release. A release that he hopes will one day inspire others, the way great albums have inspired him.Listening to his 5 favorite albums; Gil Scott Heron “Pieces of a Manâ€, Public Enemy “Fear of a Black Planetâ€, Boogie Down Productions “By All Means Necessaryâ€, Tribe Called Quest “Low End Theory†and Nas “Illmaticâ€, he is hoping to one day have the opportunity to work along side the likes of Dilated Peoples, ?Love, Little Brother, Common, Black Thought and 9th Wonder.FINESSE******************
Clyde Ramcharan better known as “Finesse†is a young 21 year old producer from Los Angeles CA. Only making tracks for the past couple of years, his skills have surpassed most young up and coming producers his age. Armed with an “Akai MPC 1000â€, crates of vinyl records, and a few other tools he makes tracks that resemble that good boom bap vibe but yet still fresh enough to be a staple in the current state of hip hop music.Growing up “Finesse†was influenced by such greats as DJ Premier, Pete Rock, The Rza, and the late J dilla. In hopes of continuing the tradition. Finesse anticipates releasing a string of projects on the Street Vinyl Music label, as well as producing for both mainstream and independent artist.J.
