Producer Spotlight
[Producer Spotlight x Interview] Ric Notes on Shad, Making Beats, and Producing on his iPhone
by Geoffrey Granka
If you hang out regularly on The Come Up Show, I promise you've heard Ric Notes' productions. He's worked on records with Shad, Blake Carrington, Drake, Smile, K-os, and many more. He's also taken home three titles from the "Battle of the Beatmakers" and has been on the jury with Boi-1da.
We sat down with Ric to talk about about his collaborations with his approach to hip-hop production, making beats on his iphone, and collaborating with artists like Blake Carrington and Shad.

[Producer Spotlight] Madlib
Day 4, 5, & 6
Sorry about the delay on Madlib's showcase this week. Work has been busy along with other usual life stuff so please forgive me!
I'll post 3 tracks of course either by Madlib or produced by him...or one of his many aliases.
First track comes from Ms. Badu off the album she put out last year titled Nu-Amerykah. Madlib produced of course
2nd track I chose was 'The Red' by Jaylib. Over an incredible J Dilla beat...Madlib does his rhyming thing.
3rd is a track from Madvillain (DOOM & Madlib producing) and I chose this song because not only is it all dope...but the visual for the song is good and only came out about a year ago. The song is called Accordian and you'll understand why when you hear it! Madlib is a beast with the samples.
