Pray 4 My City - Nick Cannon

After recording a 31 piece orchestra for this single for the Chi-Raq Soundtrack I had the pleasure of mixing this tune "Pray 4 My City". Strong content and mesmerizing orchestration make for a very impactful piece. Here is the recently released video from 40 Acres and a Mule Filmworks.

31 Piece Orchestra recording and mixing with Spike Lee

Once again in the studio with Spike Lee. This time recording a 31 pc orchestra at Chicago Public Radio's Performance Studio at Navy Pier. The orchestration by Howard Drossin was fantastic as was he as the conductor. Looking forward to hearing this one in the upcoming film Chiraq. Tracks and rap produced by Chicago's own Hypno Carlito.

Mixing music for Spike Lee's latest movie, Chiraq

I was excited enough to just have had the pleasure of being on the film set and performing for Spike Lee's Chiraq let alone to be able to work with him at my studio, mixing a few of the tracks for some scenes in the movie. He is an extremely gifted director and artist and was remarkable to work with.
