In part two of New Music Seminar MC Battle For World Supremacy, our last episode for season 2, we focus on the years; 1993 and 1994! I recount the stories I heard about 1993 with MF Grimm, Mad Skillz, and the '93 champion, Supernatural. As for '94, I explain how my writing for local Chicago publication The Flypaper, created a lane for me to have some “involvement” and a front-row seat to many of the key happenings at the seminar that year, including getting a chance to interview Bobbito Garcia, The Artifacts, Count Bass D, Hard 2 Obtain, Zev Love X, and Muddbones (Cage and Masai Bey) for an article in The Flypaper, which never came out, and ultimately inspired Caught In The Middle magazine, that I started planning with J-bird only weeks after the seminar. And, I share the memories of being at a showcase that had Indigenous Theory, Keith Murray, Rampage The Last Boy Scout, Notorious B.I.G, Craig Mack, and Original Flavor with Jay-Z. Plus, some insight on the actual MC battle itself, which was won by Judgemental from Chicago, who I was in town with. It's an action-packed episode!!

From approximately 1985 until 1994, the New Music Seminar MC Battle For World Supremacy was one of the most exciting and inspiring things for an upcoming MC, especially those whose styles were battle-ready, myself included. Ultimately, this two-part episode is about how I went from an aspiring MC hoping to compete in the contest one day, which I never achieved but did find myself in the audience for the final one ever in 1994. Part two focuses on the years of 1993, and especially my experience attending in 1994. Part one focuses on my path to becoming a battle MC, including the Hip Hop scene in Lake County (North Chicago, Waukegan, and Zion specifically) circa '86-'90, which led to me eventually learning about the NMS MC Battle, and starting to rehearse for my chance to hopefully compete there one day. And, I also touch on the various stories and rumors I was hearing and reading about the early 80s/90s seminar events, and how that was inspiring for what I was doing as an upcoming artist at the time.

Show Notes Tara Altebrando is a scripted audio creator and author who was part of the Harvard and Radcliffe class of 1992. She spoke to Will Bachman about her journey since graduation. As a senior, she had been the arts editor of The Independent and had interviewed various artists passing through Boston. She met the editor of a magazine based in Dublin at a New Music Seminar in New York and expressed her interest in working for him. After this conversation, Tara went to Dublin and was given an internship at a magazine called Hot Press. She also worked at a bar-restaurant, music venue called the Rock Garden and wrote a column for the magazine reviewing demos by unsigned Irish bands. After a few years, she decided to move back to New York and tried to pursue rock journalism, but ended up cobbling together a bunch of weird jobs in writing-adjacent fields. She eventually worked at the Museum of Television and Radio in New York, where she watched TV with a headset and summarized programs for their database. She went on to work as a proofreader and copy editor for Romantic Times Magazine. While there, she noticed one of her classmates was already writing novels, and this led to her trying her hand at writing a romance novel. From Romance Writer to Published Author  Tara wrote two thirds of a contemporary romantic suspense novel, and a novel about a 20 something working at a music magazine, but neither were successful. She decided to take fiction workshops to learn the ropes as a fiction writer,  and ended up finding a job in publishing houses as a proofreader, copy editor, and copywriter. She found the books she read varied in quality, and decided to write her own. She was working at Simon and Schuster at the time, and they published women's fiction at a time when Chick Lit was popular.  Will and Tara mention how 80% of literary fiction is bought by women, and more than 50% of paperbacks are romance novels. From Copywriting to a Young Adult Author She wrote a novel called Love, Love Will Tear Us Apart about a celebrity journalist hired to write the biography of a pair of conjoined twins. The book flopped in the market, but it led to her success as a novelist. However, when she was given an assignment to read a Young Adult novel, it inspired an idea for a Young Adult novel, and decided to explore writing in this genre. She had a book come out in June 2020, but due to the pandemic, it didn't find an audience. This made her reevaluate what she wanted to do with her time and creativity and led her to explore the world of scripted audio dramas. This was a new direction for Tara, and it was exciting to explore the possibilities and potential of audio drama writing. From YA Fiction to Scripted Radio Dramas During the pandemic, there was an influx of interest in this kind of screen-free entertainment because families needed something to keep them occupied during quarantines and lockdowns. She pitched an idea for a series called Dream Breachers which was picked up and is now in its third season. Tara describes the process of creating a scripted drama, from scripting and finding actors to recording and producing. They discussed differences between writing for audio dramas and audiobooks. Tara noted that for audio dramas, the writer needs to convey everything through dialogue and sound effects, which can be a challenge. She revealed that she often plays a game with herself to figure out how to convey information without being too obvious. Tara also shared her pet peeves when it comes to audio dramas and  talked about moving into producing her own show, and building an audience for these shows.   Chasing Creative Projects Tara followed a pattern of chasing creative projects throughout her career. She explains how the creative process differs when writing for a series over writing for a novel and shares how writing for Dream Bleachers required going deeply into world building and setting rules which cannot be broken. When writing both YA and middle grade fiction, Tara draws upon her own life experiences and memories, and finds talking to her children a source of both information and inspiration when creating her stories. She also does research on topics relevant to her work, such as memory science for her YA book The Leaving and artificial intelligence for her most recent book.  Courses that resonated with Tara are Creative Writing with Verlyn Klinkenborg, The Sociology of Peace, EthnoMusicology with Graeme Boone, and a professor whom she particularly enjoyed listening to was John Stilgo.  Timestamps 03:29 From Rock Journalism in Dublin to Writing Adjacent Jobs in New York  05:04 On Romance Writing and Editing  08:14 Writing a Contemporary Romantic Suspense Novel  14:24 The Personality of a YA Writer  16:22 Staying Current in the YA Market  20:12 Scripted Radio Dramas  28:29 Exploring Audio Production and Building an Audience  33:48 Incorporating Reader Feedback into a Series  35:02 Exploring Creative Pivots and Entrepreneurial Initiatives  Links: Tara's Books on Amazon Dream Breachers https://pinna.fm/blog/a-sit-down-with-tara-altebrando-by-amy-thetford CONTACT INFO: https://www.facebook.com/TaraAltebrandoBooks/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/tara-altebrando-0831b3201/  

Met Rudeboy als fenomenale rapper, en DNA als pionierende dj is het hiphop-element van de Urban Dance Squad altijd onmiskenbaar geweest. In deze Squadcast vertellen twee mede-pioniers over het ‘Oldschoolgevoel' van de hiphop in Nederland: dj Allstar Fresh (Guan Elmzoon) van King Bee, die in 1990 met ‘Back by dope demand' een megahit scoorde, maar voor die tijd al diverse tracks met Rudeboy maakte. Onder zijn hoede kwam de Squad in '89 voor het eerst terecht op het New Music Seminar in New York, om de eerste stappen in de States te zetten. Nederhop-pionier Def P. (Pascal Griffioen) werd op zijn beurt in 1994 met Osdorp Posse als voorprogramma meegenomen door Urban Dance Squad - en daarmee klaargestoomd voor een doorbraak. De Osdorp Posse opereerde vanaf dat moment in Squad-stijl: alles op eigen voorwaarden, en buiten hokjes om. Samen maken Allstar Fresh en Def P. in deze Squadcast een bijzondere tijdreis langs hiphop in Nederland, met de Squad als vertrekpunt.

TRUE HOUSE STORIES W/ TOM SILVERMAN (TOMMY BOY RECORDS) # 094 - PART 2 Tom Silverman explains different parts of the disco business and what led him to creating the New Music Seminar. Along the same time he begins to work out how to run a record label while helping out the owners of Importe 12. While he is writing his columns for Dance Music Report, he learns about a hip hop dj that was playing this eclectic sound of funk and rock all mixed up in The Bronx Area. He pays a visit to meet DJ Afrika Bambatta, and the rest is history. Tom loved what he witnessed and asked Afrika if he would like to make a record from all the tracks that you are playing in your set. At that precious moment Tommy Boy Records was created.

Maori is joined by friend, writer and filmmaker dream hampton, for a talk that evokes the intimate dimensions, costs and rewards of being committed to a Black radical politics. Topics include her early hip hop influences, Detroit, writing and making films, the necessary practice of tuning out the trolls and finding refuge amidst the chaos.

Venerable Richmond, Virginia rapper Skillz is the hip hop head’s hip hop head. He's the guy who spun on cardboard as a kid, sprayed graffiti, and deejayed by connecting his mother’s turntables together. Never in a million years would he think that years later he would become an in-demand songwriter, producer, artist & deejay. ​ Born in Detroit, Shaqwan Lewis, otherwise known as "Skillz" spent time in Fayetteville, North Carolina before landing in Richmond, Virginia. There he attended high school, where he soaked up all the Rakim, Kool Moe Dee, Run-DMC and anything he could get his hands on. “I’ve been a fan of hip hop since day one,” he says. “It always seemed like it was speaking to me directly.” He was a standout English student, honing his rap skills and enrolling in talent shows all over town. Answering an ad in the back of The Source magazine in the mid-90s, he sent in a one minute acapella rap, and won an opportunity to perform at the New Music Seminar in New York City. He finished second in a freestyle competition and drew the attention of Atlantic Records, who quickly signed him.His 1996 debut, From Where???, which some labeled an underground classic made his name and talents known throughout the hip hop world while his partnership with Atlantic eventually dissolved. Skillz (then known as Mad Skillz) eventually turned to writing raps for others. Before long he was introduced to soon-to-be rap potentate, Timbaland, through their mutual acquaintance Magoo, and Skillz signed with Timbaland’s label. Though nothing would come of the deal, he appeared on albums like, Tim’s Bio and Indecent Proposal, and toured with Missy Elliott in addition to acting as her hype man. Perhaps most importantly, his fellow-Virginian collaborators showed him how to compose a great song. “Before, it was just me rapping – a battle rap, and then maybe a hook,” he says. “But through Missy and Timbaland, I started paying attention to songwriting.” ​He next signed to underground label Rawkus Records, where he released his classic track, Ghostwriter, detailing his experiences secretly penning tracks for more-famous artists. Turns out he had become a ghostwriter by accident; a fellow DJ heard him recording one day, and said he’d like to use Skillz’s hook and beat for another MC. Eventually, he came to be known as a first-rate lyrical gun-for-hire, and went on to write songs for Diddy and Will Smith. And those are just the artists he’ll name. “A good ghostwriter never reveals all his clients,” he notes, adding: “I’ve definitely made a lot more money on songs that I've written for bigger artists, than for myself. Sometimes it makes sense for me to sell a record rather than hold onto it.” He just released his New Podcast Hip-Hop Confessions

Later this year, however, a lot more features are going to be rolled out for artists – including the ability for fans to financially support the acts they like.

Today's music industry podcast is with the world's number one live music producer, Tom Jackson. While I was down visiting Nashville recently I met up with Tom in a coffee shop in Franklin, TN. I was really excited to get together with Tom because I am a huge fan of his work and his live music method. There are so many people that are experts in the marketing of music, the branding, the licensing, etc... but there is only one person that is recognized in the world of live performance producing and that is Tom Jackson. All roads lead to the stage is something Tom says and it is so true. At the end of the day it doesn't matter what else you do, no matter how well you do your business, how great of an album you record, how good you look, etc... If your live show isn't amazing you will never be a career artist. Whether you have one song to perform for an audition or a late night tv show, a world tour or an opening slot at Madison Square Gardens, Tom teaches musicians to create unforgettable moments. These moments result in more merch sales, more fans, endorsements, and a lasting career! Tom is author of the bookTom Jackson’s Live Music Method and the All Roads Lead to the Stage DVD series, is a master at transforming an artist’s live show into a magical experience for the audience! He has worked with hundreds of artists in nearly every genre, including major artists like Taylor Swift, The Band Perry, Jars of Clay, and others, along with countless indie artists and bands, giving them a foundation and direction to define their unique voice and style to showcase their talent.

Tom has been guest speaker and on panels at New Music Seminar, Canadian Music Week, Hillsong-Australia, CMJ, and more, as well as major music schools such as Berklee, University of Miami, and Anderson University. Here’s what music industry professionals say about Tom: “Tom makes a major impact…he’s a a true creative partner who helps realize the artist’s full performance potential.” Matt Serletic, Producer (Santana, Celine Dion, Aerosmith, Matchbox Twenty, Rob Thomas) “You are only hurting your music career if you are not listening to what Tom Jackson has to say about your onstage performance. If you are a singer, performing artist or in a band performing live and can only do one thing to further your career, take my advice, listen to Tom!” Derrick Ross, Slaight Music (formerly with Feldman & Associates – Avril Lavigne, Diana Krall, Barenaked Ladies) In our interview we discuss: Becoming a live music producer Increasing merch sales through live music experience Creating difference through performance Developing authenticity in onstage performance Are you married to your audience or are you dating your audience? Hi Tech and Hi Touch Keeping the fans and building your audience The Middle Class Musician Revenue Streams Sponsorships Selling from the stage Characteristics of successful artists Being ready Being present in the moment The three reasons people go to a show Maintaining success Do you move to where the action is?
