14KT + Tall Black Guy – “Chop Field”

They way the song came about is as dope, if not doper, than the actual single itself! Let Tall Black Guy tell you the story behind “Chop Field” coming into being…

So one of the coolest experiences happened this weekend with my homie 14KT. While he was on his travel excursion across Europe, KT came to visit me in Norwich where I reside at the moment. This was our first time meeting in person after hearing about each others work and talking over the internet for the last few years. Whilst discussing ideas on how to make a new track, we decided to take our field recorders outside and record all kinds of sounds around the city of Norwich. This is a work in progress. Here’s what we came up with. Look out for the KT x TBG collabo coming in the near future. Peace!!

Elzhi – ‘February’ (Prod. By 14KT)

downloadIt felt good to look into my inbox & see some brand new music from one of my favorite Detroit emcees Elzhi. What had me even more excited was seeing that it was crafted by fellow Michigan producer 14KT who’s a beast on the beats. Although fans of Elzhi have been patiently waiting for him to drop that new album he’s been working, the timing couldn’t have been any better dropping this ‘February’ track as this cold month begins to come to a close. Another dope joint from Elzhi The Great from his upcoming project ‘Lead Poison’ due later this year in conjunction with the GLOW365 new artist alliance.

R&B: Ab x 14KT – “Saturn Return” (LP)

artworks-000060636587-6ez6sx-t500x500It’s out. Following the link below takes you to “Saturn Return” – a collaborative effort by singer Ab and producer 14KT… but it’s much more than that.

“Saturn Return” is more than an album… It’s a story that was developed by two friends, while they were individually working their way through one of the most grueling transition periods of their lives. This period left them both questioning their purpose in life, what they wanted for themselves, what made them happy, as well as who they were.

Their conversations and the continual support of each other led soul singer Aaron “Ab” Abernathy and beat-smith 14KT to co-produce a progressive soul album focused on a love story between characters Ab and Lalah. However, it is an experience that anyone can relate to.

14KT – “Five & Ten” (Video)

14KT declares that this is straight from the heart; straight from head to mouthpiece into the mic for the most part. “Five & Ten” is the first track off 14KT’s album – “Nickel & Dimed” – which is what he is tired of being.

“I wrote this off of the frustration of releasing instrumental projects in my profession. I’ve been approached/treated MANY times in very unprofessional and disrespectful ways. I wanted to be a voice for all of my producer peers who deal with this frustration and to serve as a notice for up and coming producers/beat makers.”

Message! Respect the beat architect (aka the beatmaker). Check out the visuals for “Five & Ten.” Animation by James Reitano and TFU Studios.

14KT – “Width” feat. Tony Ozier (Video)

“2011. This is a personal piece I wanted to share with you all. I made it from compiled videos I recorded on my phone. I made the song dedicated to God, but it’s also a dedication to my family and some of the friends He’s blessed me with. As an artist, you can easily get caught up in an endless menu of distractions in life. Having to please people, facing criticism on your creativity, pressures of living up to your potential, pleasing others, image, all the things that can create fear in our lives. However, when you put your thoughts on the things/people you truly love, LOVE will conquer fear. R.I.P. My father, Paul Tucker Jr.” – 14KT
