Producer C4: Dirty Deeds Part deux (2)

I enjoyed yappin' it up with Producer, C4. He is talented, motivated, and has a way with words; like:
 "F*** me on the Beat" 

Legion: You being from Montreal, do u find it easier to pick up females here in Toronto?
Do you lay on the Quebecois extra thick around hotties?

And why do u suppose that most of our PMs are from Montréal / Québec?(#CanadianPolitics). Do you see yourself running for PM anytime soon? Well? 

(We continued the interview as we both go back and forth in our daily routines and responsibilities. Between that time, I had majorly stubbed my baby toe. I see C4's IM indicating that he’s back online. But you know how those indicators go…)

C4: Sorry man, in session

Legion: Ok, np (like I said, IM online indicators could be sporadic. He came back later to clarify a message I left in a previous chat session)

C4: I need (can't recall the number of) “likes” by Monday to unlock the next video


[That was to unlock the next Dirty Deeds video on DirtyDeeds.TV The concept is quite dope! You share/like (on the social media tip) the Dirty Deeds project, videos to unlock the next one. Just Like the uncensored 'vid' of Lets Be Friends. (We’ll get back to that in a minute)]

(… feeling my toe throbbing, I commented)

Legion: *Re: toe* Now I know how your house felt :-P (see part 1 of interview)I hope that table unit has insurance... Come on dude that was my best line today

C4: Yeah man, u crushed it. I’ve had a house burn down and a car smash into my house all in year. 2 houses so far, geeez!

Legion: Jeez, don't jinx my baby toe

C4: yup

Legion: Insurance company must love you. Who/what burned your house?

C4: I dunno I was at Medieval Times at the time.

Legion: What did the insurance say the cause was?

C4: They just put it down as an accidental fire. But I lost everything… and didn't have any insurance

Legion: (stunned in silence)

C4: So not like I had a motive. I was homeless for 3 months. Literally living a the studio

Legion: Wooo! Didn't know that

C4: Yeah most people don't. That's also why the release date is March 6th. Exactly 1 year after it happened.

First my house gets burnt down. Then I tear it down a year later… I just don’t talk about my personal life so much...

Legion: No doubt bro [We briefly reminisced about the early production websites...]

C4: Yeah every producer has to start somewhere!

(We took an hour to continue going thru our daily’s.  I got a chance to look at the uncensored Lets Be Friends video. Then continued…)

Legion: Wow bro, that vid is really uncensored. I can really see the Montreal attitude and culture in this.

C4: Yeah Montreal culture is more about the joy of living and less about being consumed with money.

Legion: And the view on nudity and the human body?


C4: Yeah nudity is awesome.  I love nudity lol. But really, Montreal'ers and nudity... probably closer to France in that sense...


Legion: What are your outside interests, besides putting on armour and jousting?

C4: Hockey to be honest. In 10 minutes I’m going to go meet my buddy who plays nets for some shinny for a couple hours and back to the studio. I’m on a deadline for something that I’m pitching on but it's necessary when i'm too stressed...

Legion: Shinny?

C4: lol, outdoor rinks, pick up games

Legion: Oh aight cool

C4: Toronto killssss Montréal in terms of their outdoor rinks.  

They have zambonis here!… And then probably (meet up with the) ladies after …always been a weakness to me.
Legion: Dude, u talk’n french to me right now, sorry.
C4: Haha! How the fuck are you Canadian and not know what a Zamboni is?
Legion: (Kanye shrugs, and quickly changes the subject, kind of) Ladies are the producers drug... (he got me that time)
Next week, more on the Dirty Deeds Project, featured artists, and the unlocking of more Dirty Deeds Videos... and maybe some nudity...maybe...

Producer C4: Dirty Deeds

C4 and I got it in over the weekend (on IM chat) prior to the Superbowl.  He picked Montreal, I picked New York-go figure I had a good chance since Montreal wasn't in it...but he didn't need to know that...

Legion: Why did you move from Montreal? 
And why to Toronto?

C4: Moved from Montreal to open a music production company and to get closer to the States.  Toronto's really the hub for entertainment in Canada and Toronto could use a little bit of Montreal flavor anyways.  And I had been working on placements for a bit and when I started getting more work here than in my hometown, the move made sense.
                                        

Legion: How do you normally hook up or meet artist that are interested in your beats?


C4: Usually I get a facebook message like: " Yo, dis C4?"
 "Your beats are crazy man I'm gonna get signed next week and I was thinking you should send me some beats"


Legion: Lol so Facebook is your main medium?


C4: Facebook is definitely not my medium. I'm just laughing at how people approach me on this


Legion: Ok, so how do peeps usually get at you?


C4: Usually through e-mail to my management by reaching c4@imyourproducer.com or by using an agency.

Legion: What method has been most successful for you?


C4: e-mail

Legion: When was the last time you smashed some beatmakers @ a beat battle?
 and what’s it like to see their reaction when your beat drops?


C4: Aaah, I love beat battles but I haven't done one since I won in Montréal and New York. It's honestly like the exact moment you enter the ‘vagin’


Legion: New York? Gotta link to that battle? and lolz @ ‘vagin’ :-D


C4: Unfortunately not, the room was super dark


Legion: The ‘vagin’ or NY battle?  (Dirty Deeds)


C4: HAHAHA  The NY battle

Legion: Speaking of smashing, do you have an opinion on young drivers? ;-)

C4: They shouldn't crash into my backyard, and they should get insured otherwise they'll be paying me out of pocket again.


Legion: :-D :-D :-O :-D Is it possible they heard about your production and wanted to get your attention?

Production Credit: Ron Browz, Nas’s “Ether” 10 Years Later

Ron Browz doesn’t get his just due. The Harlem-bred producer’s résumé reads like a who’s who list of New York notables and he’s responsible for the sonics of classic records like Big L’s “Ebonics” and Nas’s “Ether.” Still, Browz’s work yields skepticism. Over the last decade, he’s also emerged into a capable hitmaker—producing and performing on his own “Jumping Out the Window,” as well as Jim Jones’s “Pop Champagne” and Busta Rhymes’s “Arab Money.”

Though all of Browz’s previously mentioned hits have charted higher than “Ether,” he’s still primarily known for assisting God’s Son in his scathing rebuttal to Jay-Z’s “Takeover.” Now, 10 years after the release of the classic diss song, RB reveals to XXL that Jay’s A&R, Kyambo “Hip Hop” Joshua, had the “Ether” instrumental first, how producing the track barred him from working with the God MC and why it’s a better beat than the Kanye West-produced, “Takeover.”—Carl Chery (@cchery)

XXL: When you made that beat did you have Nas in mind or was it for someone else?

Ron Browz: No. Me, when I'm doing production...
