In the tail end of 2008, and onto 2009 I’ve been working with and slated to work on projects with these artists:
AJAX-Working on Mainstream Pollution II, his follow up to Out Of Body/Out Of Mind EP that I also did a couple tracks on including his single By Any Means with Psychopathic Records Artist ABK. Excited on getting back in the studio with the touring phenom and taking his music to the next level.
D.Allie-He’s on the rhymes, and I’m on the beats for a whole EP. We have a couple tracks in the can and am looking forward to finishing this project. There’s really a great vibe between both of us and creativity is affluent. Tony Franks on the Exec. Producing tip? He doesn’t co-sign much, but am sure he does this.
Skrapz-If he ever chooses to follow up his classic The 12 Step Program, I believe I have a track or two. This is our man and he is picky as a mother. It truly is a pleasure to work with our boy. I know we also have a feature on the album already in the can. Worse case I’ve been engineering some songs already; maybe they’ll see the light of day sometime this year.
MC TAY-Pontiac legend TAY is following up his 2006 album Believe with his upcoming album tentatively titled Hip Hop For Dummies, and we’ve already got several songs finished with no end of stopping soon. We’re planning on doing @ least six songs together. Think gangster Slum Village meets Proof.
MIDCOAST MOST-Finally after all these years I finally have a beat that Nonsense likes. I’ve seriously hooked up around five or so tracks through the years, but nothing ever came to fruition. MCM are good friends of ours and Eddie Logix lended four tracks to Lucky # 13, and another two beats to Living A Nightmare, Chasing The Dream. Suffice it to say I was happy they finally wanted to bless me with their rhymes. I’m really excited to hear everything they’ve been doing over the years.
Aztek-The frontman of Downriver group Rising Sunz, is out for dolo and got two tracks from your boy. We’ve been doing shows with the young Jedi for over six years, and it’s a pleasure to hear his upcoming work over my backgrounds. I’ve heard Aztek has over 60 songs recorded, and just hope something I do can make his album.
Dante-Mr. “All I Do Is Tour” never liked many beats that I made. This is up in the air, but I hope we can get together and create some magic.
Kayoe-I’ve done around 10 songs over the years for the emcee who also runs UNATION PRODUCTIONS which is a video company, and he has a custom track he whistled for me that I made come to life. This track is supposed to happen soon also.
 That’s all I believe I have on my plate production-wise so far for 2009, but I’m sure more are to come. Anybody interested in production from me can holler @ me: abrasivemethod@gmail.com
KENDALL
As I’m about to post an update on my production, I saw that an old friend from FULL SAIL (where I went to school for all this music shit) hit AM.com up. I only wonder how after all these years he came across our site and hope he DL’ed Lucky # 13. Kendall was a ‘mentor’ of sorts in the fact that he had way more technical knowledge of music, and even helped find some loops for a couple of tracks that never happened. He was also from the U.P. and that was something familiar to me when home seemed so far away, (the school was in Orlando). Kendall I hope you’re doing well, and staying afloat. I can’t believe your fav. drummer was the guy from Weezer, and thanks for always buying me liquor when I was underage.Â
Happy 2009 People. May death not strike you yet…

Don’t forget that I am working on solo project that is unclassified, unappreciated, unhappy, unsad and the date is undetermined. I got one track done so far, and I think its pretty okay, but I got alot of beats from Charlie Beans (the critical, sarcastic guy who writes on here) and I will be possibly be looking for other outlets of production. Anywhoot… happy 2009 people and I wish you all good fortunes!
