COME UP KIDS | FOREVER I LOVE ATLANTA

COMEUPKID: THIRTY

When I think of Michigan, I think of three things: Great Lakes, J. Dilla and, most notably, Motown. Yeah, when I think about Michigan I think about the music. Much of that music, however, gets ignored by mainstream and becomes those rare finds in the bottom of the barrels at your local independent record stores. But, Michigan’s own Thirty won’t be ignored by you all–so please, pay attention.

The 25 year-old producer from Ann Arbor, MI has been making some big moves on the music scene over the past few years. Thirty, who got his moniker from a friend as he started DJing, has worked with artists such as Freeway, Rick Ross, Stat Quo and MC Breed just to name a few. He’s even had a chance to work alongside fellow producers Dr. Dre and Jazze Pha. Though he hasn’t always been a producer, he has always held a job in music.

“I started djing at 14. I would do my high school parties, college parties, eventually got into the club scene by the help of two cats Chill Will and DJ G-nice who were doing a lot of clubs around the southeastern Michigan area. They taught me a lot about the whole DJ and club scene.”

“[…] Around 18 I decided I wanted to do more because I understood from djing how to put the music together and keep a person’s attention, so I wanted to make my own. [I] saved some money and got an MPC-2000 and after that it was curtains,” Thirty said.

Seven years later, Thirty is producing versatile music and molding new artists to breakthrough the industry. He is a producer in every sense of the word.”I will actually produce you. I’m not just making beats like all these beatmakers running around trying to get placements. I want to bring the best out of anybody I work with[…] these cats making beats all day are composers, get it right! After I make a track my job is just beginning,” Thirty said.Currently, Thirty is working with and developing his artists on IMG/Frontstreet Oseeola, whose album will be released nationally later this year, and Braulio, a talented songwriter from Angola. He’s also busy finishing up placement projects with Ludacris and Jeezy.Though he is showing success in tapping into other regions, Thirty is sincerely putting in effort to get Detroit back in the music scene.”Detroit needs a makeover, everybody is stuck on this ‘gangsta shit’ which is cool every once and a while but we need versatility. I think Detroit is like the hater [capitol] for real, nobody wants to come together and work, everybody thinks they can do it themselves and that’s why the music is so lackluster.”"As far as myself helping out the Detroit scene, well, I feel I have a ear for great music that the masses can enjoy in any genre. These cats just have to see the vision and let me take them somewhere outside of all this killing and pushing weight […]Let’s go Detroit! There’s a lot of talent out here its just not being executed right,” Thirty said.In the future, Thirty hopes to work with R&B and Pop artists like Trey Songz, Justin Timberlake, Amy Winehouse and Anthony Hamilton. The young producer is also looking for other producers in the area to form a production team.I hope to see Thirty and Detroit music back on the scene real soon.

Should they even be there? Please comment on this video clip. I don’t think Robert Cooper or Brad Wright would ever let these two ever have any serious part on Stargate Universe. Well maybe the brunette…

According to Bow Wow’s 106 & Park interview, he and Ciara are history and I think who is ciara dating that she may have been the one to end things because he seemed a little bitter about it. I don’t know who she is dating now. That photo of her on Nelly’s bedside on that Over and Over Again video did cause me to think of the possibility of a relationship between Nelly & Ciara but it was after that that she went public with her relationship with Bow Wow. Yesterday on 106 & Park, Lil Fizz (formerly of B2K) hinted that he would be interested in dating Ciara. Rocsi was sure to call him out on that. Ciara is probably weighing her options and playing it cool right now. She may not be dating anyone.

Female fashion models who work with the designers throughout the season are also in the competition. Each week, as the number of designers dwindle, the number of models are also reduced, with one model remaining at the end. Models are randomly pre-assigned to a designer during the first challenge, and from the second challenge onwards, the designers will have an opportunity to pick the model they wish to work with. This usually happens during the start of every episode save for the first, with the winner of the previous challenge receiving first pick, and the other designers picking models in order through host Klum’s random draw of large red shirt buttons with their names stored in a black velvet bag. Though, there are times when only the winning designer will be given the choice to pick with the following choices: either keep his or her previous model, take the losing designer’s model Project Runway from the last challenge, or switch models with another competing designer

Goodday,
I was just searching the internet and stumbled upon this nice website. I would like to let the webmaster know that they are doing a great job with this website. I am also working to develop my own website as well. Unfortunately, things aren’t going so well, but I do not understand much about web development. I have tried really hard, but things just aren’t working for me. I have been using wordpres and doing the best that I can though. If someone has knowledge of web design and cares to give me any ideas, I would love to here them.
My website is here: online pharmacy no prescription My site is actually not a online pharmacy, it is just a blog about them.

Thank You and I would greatly appreciate any comments.
