In this episode of a Rhythm Roulette, Mass Appeal presentsJust Blaze. Fans of music production know Just Blaze for his numerous accolades and contributions to various genres. However, we bet they didn't know Just can create album-worthy joints on the fly. After listening through three randomly selected records and deciding only one of them was good enough to use, Just began to create a soulful and hard-hitting beat with sped-up choir vocals weaving in and out of the track. In the end, he thought the beat sounded so good he wanted to dip from The Sprite Corner to finish it up at his studio. --------------Mass Appeal-------------- Website: http://massappeal.com Twitter: http://twitter.com/massappeal Instagram: http://instagram.com/massappeal Facebook: http://facebook.com/massappeal What s...

He's created some of the best beats our ears have been blessed with, helped build some of the most successful brands and is permanently placed in the greatest producer of all time discussions. Standing firm throughout different eras of hip hop, it is interesting to hear his view on the whole "writing your own rhymes" vs. collaboration argument. But, this trip to the show falls outside of the musical box as he dropped news of a shoe collaboration with Packer on the way! The "Casino" theme behind the shoes is incredibly woven into every intricate detail from the Roulette inspired felt to the numbers on the back. Luckily for fans, they won't have to wait very ...
