I’ve been LA quite a few times over the past 5 years, in that time I hooked up with Kendrick Lamar who is currently one of my favourite rappers.

I recently hooked up with Dr. Dre and Jimmy Iovine in London. Eastern Eye Newspaper put it their paper earlier today.

Check it out

Check out exclusive footage of Russell Peters and DJ Fricktion clowning around and scratching on the turntables at Russell’s LA Crib.

Fricktion is currently in LA producing various records with a number of high profile rappers from the states amongst DJ’ing for Amir Khan at his Fight After Party in Las Vegas.

Fricktion formed a friendship with Russell Peters since DJ’ing at his 2006 Afterparty and working with Russell on his 4th Hip Hop Mixtape. Russell invited Fricktion to his LA Crib to hang out and spin some tunes on the decks.

In a recent Interview with Complex Magazine, Kendrick Lamar was asked about his recent collaboration with legendary Hip Hop artist The RZA.

Another video that was released with studio footage is of you working on “Ronald Reagan Era” with the RZA vocal. How did that come about?

Kendrick: My man DJ Friction overseas, he worked with RZA. RZA liked my music, he liked the rawness and the feel of it. I been talking back with my dude DJ Friction and he said RZA was sitting on some vocals over there and that I could flip them motherfuckers. I’m like, “You’re telling me I could take some RZA vocals and I could flip ‘em?” [Laugh

The record Ronald Reagan Era features RZA vocals which you can read about below:

So I recently flew out to LA to sort out a few things and connect with some friends and family. I was entered into the LA iStandard Producer Showcase at the Musicians Institute on 29th June 2011.

The producers that were entered were dope, just over 20 in total out of over 200 submissions so those 20 producers must have had some heat to be selected.

The judges were from Atlantic, Slip N Slide, ASCAP and other Platinum selling Producers. The event was split over 2 days, 10 producers the first day and 10 on the 2nd day and the top 3 producers from each day would go through to the final and win some Music Software from Focuswrite.

Some of the producers were dope, some had a very commercial sound and as some of you may know, my sound is very Urban – Hip Hop / Rnb in one lane.

In the end I came in at 3rd place, which I was quite happy about considering I was the only dude there from the UK and the rest were from across the states.
