I don't know how well he's known to the wider public and my internet searches haven't been particularly fruitful, but I think Killah Trakz is worthy of your attention. An emcee, beat maker and producer from Miami, Florida, Killah Trakz first appeared on my radar via a mutual interest in music production forums.
His debut album is called 'Hoodz Prodigy' and is still available. The follow up 'Hoodz Prodigy 2' is out now as well as the 'E-Tape' E.P. You can follow him on Twitter or Facebook and listen to his music on MySpace.
A final reminder for track submissions to the 'Beat Shop'. Send your snippets/tracks to spy_da_man@msn.com or my 'Drop Box' for inclusion in next week's show, which is when the Beat Shop opens for business. Let's grow together!
P.S. If you missed the shows (or just want to hear them again) you'll need to hit me up for a copy of the recordings due to the fact that these record companies don't realize that not only are they getting PRS from me (via Jam1Online, a legit radio station) but free promotion for their products too. Yet they still have my blog pages taken down when I post recordings of the shows. I've grown tired of the fight, so I won't be posting any more recordings but I am still making them.
