TRUTHLiVE " Shoot Me Down" Mixed by Rick V.


As owner and founder of Interdependent Media, Evan Phillips (a.k.a. TRUTHLiVE) knows how to spot a solid hip-hop beat, and here he takes an epic instrumental from Tha Bizness—a track full of strings, synths, gunshots, pianos, and plenty of slap—to serve as the backdrop for his storytelling flow. Phillips takes every opportunity in "Shoot Me Down" to paint a picture of his coming-up and elaborate on the struggles of remaining an independent artist, themes which are sure to be explored further upon in his forthcoming debut full-length, Patience.

New Album "Money in the Streets" from Jay Tee, mixed by Rick V.


Born and raised in Vallejo, California, James Trujillo would be thrusted into fame and fortune and transformed into Jay Tee as the front man of the platinum selling rap group N2DEEP. Beyond that though, Jay Tee is the owner of 40 Ounce Records and a producer and innovator in his own right. Aside from his contributions as one half of N2DEEP, Jay Tee is responsible for putting together the Latino rap super-group Latino Velvet with Baby Beesh, Frost, and Don Cisco. Stepping out from the shadow cast by the huge success of N2DEEP, Jay Tee has gone on to establish himself as one of the most well-known names and faces in the underground rap community through his collaborations and appearances on the hottest albums in the country.
