Figuring out the MV-8800 Sequencer

by admin on September 7, 2011

IMG_1072 Ok, I messed around with the MV-8800 sequencer for the past two days. I’m confident I got my mind wrap around the function of this baby.

Treehouse Flavors - All Ages Hip-Hop Duo

Once upon a time, hip-hop grew up and had kids… The ‘Treehouse Flavors’ fam-bam, Sean Love & Schott Styles, have been performing and writing that authentic flavorful hip-hop for years, but they’ve recently turned their attention and efforts to the b-boys and b-girls of the future.
