FROOTLOOPS: FOLLOW YOUR EARS

Local producer Ritchcraft dropped me a line and let me know about his latest colabo project he released this past weekend which also features other remix producers Qwest from Winton Salem, North Carolina and Jansport J out of Covina, California. The treo linked up on Twitter…

“The Album Frootloops, is a collaboration of myself, Ritchcraft, Qwest, and Jansport J. I met them over Twitter and saw we all made remixes so I had to mesh our remixes into an album. The album is a mix of new and old remixes we’ve created over the past couple years. The name “Frootloops” was chosen because we all produce our music on the program Fruityloops (FL Studio) therefore the cereal Frootloops seemed to be the best choice. The intro, and two skits of actual frootloops commercials are incorporated to mesh all the songs together and also allows the title to make sense. I would say my favorite track on the album is Qwest’s remix of “Once Again”…..Qwest is a sick producer who brings that oldschool sound to 2009, and I wish some of his remixes were mine lol. Jansport is much more established than myself or Qwest so I appreciate him for giving me a couple remixes to add to the project, and the Rhymefest “Dynamite Transformers” remix he made is pretty damn amazing. I can’t speak for Jansport or Qwest but, my influences expand from real gritty hip hop to disco, I try to expand what I listen to, so what I produce can be innovative and limitless. I’m not entirely sure what Jansport is up to, but, I plan to continue to produce for some of the artists i’ve been working with, (Bruthaz n Armz, Coolera, Kayo) I know Qwest is down to start another project, whether its a remix album who knows, only time can tell!… One thing can be for certain though, there will be more projects, and i have a habit of scrapping anything that isn’t dope, so you can be sure it’ll be good music you can bump in your car, on your mp3 or ipod, or however you jam to music.”
