Deejay Nana is a major friend of the site. He and I.James.Jones contributed a Fresh Kils-produced track, “P.S.A” to our DK11 compilation album under their group name, The Names Are Known back in 2014. Then last year he gave me the dope Afro/Hip-House track, “Lullaby” featuring fellow DK11 alum, the legendary Saukrates. Hopefully we’ll get to chat with him about the making of that latter track and his evolution as an artist, producer and DJ between the two DK compilation contributions. In the meantime though, here’s his plug for his latest single, “BIG” featuring the homies, Dennis Passley, eMDee and his Names compadre, I.James.Jones:
truth is i didn’t even realize that yesterday [March 9] was 22 years since we lost the Notorious B.I.G. as i had planned on dropping this one as soon as my engineer and i could settle on a mix we both liked. even still, here is yet another track i recorded in the living room of the apartment i shared with producer/rapper Rich Kidd, at some point between 2013 and 2015 (together eMDee, IJAMESJONES and i call ourselves ‘The Names Are Known‘ – this song appears on a EP i produced for the squad called ‘FLY BLAH BLAH’ … THE COLD is another song that appears on said EP which currently lives in the studio computer – only heard by a chosen few).
get BIG.
