Mike Posner Roundtable (ILL EXCLUSIVE)

Posted on August 26, 2010 by Lola

Last week Sony Music invited several Toronto bloggers in a roundtable discussion/interview with Mike Posner, who recently released his debut album 31 Minutes to Takeoff. The album has gotten rave reviews and Mike, who had previously released two mixtapes – Only a Matter of Time with DJ Don Cannon and One Foot Out the Door with DJ Clinton Sparks – has built up quite a following. His debut single “Cooler than Me” reached #6 in the US and # 5 in Canada. It was originally featured in the first mixtape, Only a Matter of Time, when Mike was still developing his production, sound and of course rapping as well. The song was then remixed and more production was layered over giving it a more sophisticated and complex sound.

What was the most amazing thing to me about Mike Posner is his work ethic, dedication and his ability to stay focused and stay on track. After the release of his first Mixtape, he got signed to J Records (RCA/Sony). Instead of leaving school and focusing on his music career solely (which I can see a lot of artists doing) he went back to college to finish his degree, started recording for his album, finished a second mixtape and toured on weekends. It seems like the word overload meant nothing to him. And in person, Posner was as cool and laid back and the summer breeze. He was charming and easy to talk to, and seemed like he knew every aspect of his music and where he wanted to go.
Our roundatable discussion included Thunderkush.com, SheDoesTheCity.com, iLuvlola.net, LissaMonet.com and WRGMag.com. We each took turns to ask questions. It was pretty cool. Here’s how it went down…
Thunderkush – In your first two mixtapes you had a lot of hip-hop features, Big Sean, Donnis, Kid Cudi. Just wondering why you neglected to feature any of those artists in your debut album?
Mike Posner – I wanted to make an album where every song was great, and every song was great because of me. I have my whole life to work with other people.

[Video] The iLLZ – Ode to New York

Posted on August 21, 2010 by Lola

I absolutely love this kid. He is not only adorable, but so down to earth and easy going. And he’s a great musician. I’ve loved this project, so creative and interesting. This is the official video for The ILLZ “Ode To New York” (6 of which is apart of the upcoming project “In Between Video Series” presented by OnSmash x 2DopeBoyz x YouHeardThatNew and due out August 24th.
Directed by Kristopher Rey-Talley. This is what he has to say.
“So, sadly, this concludes my contribution to the ILLZ’ In Between Video Series. This is the lowest concept of all the vids. Intentionally simple and straightforward. A portrait of an artist praising his love for the city just over the water. The city that makes him fall in love, that eats him alive, that makes him alone. The city he must conquer.”
