YES.YALL NEW ANNOUNCEMENT !!!!
HIP HOP'S SUMMER OF "LOVE" STARTS MAY 17TH
DELICIOUS VINYL RELEASES NEW SINGLE
FRANK NITT "LOVE" FEATURING DJ QUIK & J. BLACK
PRODUCED BY TERRACE MARTIN
Ever since Motown moved to Los Angeles, sunshine and good vibes have been luring the Motor City's most musically minded to make the same migration. Now, one of Detroit's trustiest hip hop MCs, Frank Nitt (Frank'N'Dank), heads west to team up with producer Terrace Martin (Snoop Dogg's Ego Trippin'), hot hookman J.Black, and Cali legend DJ Quik for the new Delicious Vinyl single: "Love". A perfectly pitched summertime sizzler, "Love" is a celebration of devotion with the slinkiest synths since Zapp and plenty of bump for your swim trunks.
Frank Nitt, well known as half of mad sturdy Detroit duo Frank'n'Dank, has recently been hanging out in L.A. with John "Illa J" Yancey, younger brother of legendary producer James "Jay Dee aka J Dilla" Yancey. As Delicious Vinyl readied the release of Illa J's Dilla-produced debut LP Yancey Boys last year, Frank started playing Delicious Vinyl boss Michael "Mike Floss" Ross a smattering of new tracks.
"Frank's incredibly prolific," says Floss. "He was playing me songs he'd recorded in the past six months, and when I heard 'Love' I knew it was a song I wanted to put out. Combining Terrace's sparkling West Coast sound with the perspective that Frank brings as a native Detroit MC, topped off with a beautiful hook by J.Black and you got yourself a party starter. The fact that this cut's for the ladies just shows we got our priorities straight!"
Floss isn't the only one to fall in love with "Love." When producer Terrace Martin played the unfinished song to West Coast legend DJ Quik, Quik quickly volunteered his mixing and mastering skills as well as contributing a verse to the finished version. Because sometimes you can only beat the heat with more heat. Though it helps to have a swimming pool too.

" it's like the industry is standing still joe" and it got me to thinking, I should start runnin, so I'm attacking this shit like I never had a deal even tho I've had several, indie and major, like noone has heard of frank nitt or frankndank even tho I'm bookin shows, just to really forget about the meals I've had thanks to hip hop and be hungry! U gotta chase the dream before u can live it, so game on.... At least with me hope to see u there...... Peace and wealth

From Germany to Russia and beyond and then dank jumped out and we hit Spain and Estonia...crazy!
So I wanna thank all the people who help us underground hip hop artist survive by being out in the world performing! So thank you to all the promoters, and dj's, cause without y'all booking us and playin those records,how would we make it happen, and all the fans that go and support the cats who make music that might not make it to ur local radio show but might sell out ur local club! I appreciate y'all foreal and er'body who supports that real hip hop ish! Even if it's not my shit....muddasoca.... So I'm booking for the new year for frank nitt and fnd so Europe see u soon and every where else go to y'all local promoter and tell em to get to booking and If not pistol punch him in the family jewels and ask him again...LOL and I know there are people I didn't thank but I don't have the space for that, think pilots, baggage,security, bartenders and strippers toooo much!!!!!

Pro's& Cons of Recording
@The Family Home!
Pro's and Con's of recording at the family home...
What's poppin people the boy nitty here broadcasting from the family home in the d since the crew took a little hiatus(T3 left town) see how I put the blame on someone else! So I'm here and I figured I should keep working, so I put up the portable stu in the crib and went on to bangin ish out, beats, songs, whatever. Now I must say there are advantages to being at the family home for someone like me, see I don't have a homebase persay, I kinda live out of my suitcase hence the portable studio, I might me in Cali this week and Germany the next, so being at the family crib and working is great because u have home cooked food right there and good eats are essential to a good session, next the comfort level is of the meter ur amongst family! If ur like me it's also a time to enjoy ur fam and use that good energy to create some ish! And that leads to the con's of it! That good food has to be prepared and it seems to me that, that shit happens right in the
middle of ur best verse of the day...LOL.. And u can't use it with dishes in the background! And the fam is never ending so working for any stretch of time is mission impossible, and I guess the fact that Yrj gave me a good ass mic doesn't help so even tho I'm in the front of the house I can here my son taking a leak in the bathroom at the back of the house...LOL..and that ain't cool! But it's all about balance people u can't get the good with out the bad..so u just have to get er' done!

WORKING TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Photo( Diamond Recording Studio)
What's poppin people all over the world? Since Scrap Dirty told me I got hits from er'where, by the way thx to the boat load of y'all that checked ya boy out! So unless u've been sleepin under a rock, u know it's a recession goin on outside no man is save from, and the only way out is to work! No matter what u do, rapper(like me), bus driver, pornstar, whatever! U just gotta grind it out( pun intended), & man help ur people, and I know some of them muddasocas aint right but u can't put that on us all! You atleast have to try to build with the ones that's true to it! Now nitty ain't just some some shit head with a computer or an iPhone in this case, I practice what I preach. I puts in work! Madlib, dj Rhettmatic and Ohno are all producers I've done songs if not whole projects with in the last 6 months, and not to mention a full album with Terrance Martin that we recorded in three days! And I'm in the studio right now as I type with young Rj, uncle craig and T3. Needless to say 2009 is gonna be a big year for the kid! So I'll end this with the timeless words of one of our hip hop pioneers Kool Mo Dee "I go to work" and u should to..
Peace and wealth
