Grinding His Way to The Top
 

Maff’s name pretty much speaks for itself – “They call me MAFF cause I clock that, TEST is what life is and you can tell I pass that every time the light hit and my shit’s gotta add up”.

A self described “individual with the soul of an old man”,    Rapper/Songwriter/Businessman Maff Test came from the poverty stricken streets of Harvey, Illinois  and took his life by the horns, morally and financially to create a better situation to negotiate his talent by creating Lockout Records to move his music.

Actually when it comes to the catfight between Lisa Raye and Vivica Fox, we’re talking the forty plus crowd. Really ladies?

NEW YORK — Legendary singer Teddy Pendergrass, dead after a long illness at age 59, spent his last 28 years in a wheelchair, left to wonder what life might have been like had a car crash not completely altered his destiny.

Before the crash, Pendergrass was one of the most electric and successful figures in music. He established a new era of R&B with an explosive, raw voice that symbolized masculinity, passion and the joys and sorrow of romance in songs such as “Close the Door,” “It Don’t Hurt Now,” “Love T.K.O.” and other hits that have since become classics.

The Alchemist is a mad scientist in the studio.

He has both the killer work ethic and instincts — dark melodies and cinematic acoustics over gritty hip hop beats. One recipe from The Alchemist’s “cookbook” could call for an Apple Mac G4; an Avalon Vt-732 sp compressor; ProTools; an ASR-10 sampler; a Moog Music Voyager synthesizer; a Neumann U-87 microphone and one fire-assed brain full of ideas. So sit down, and grab a taste. 

Al, as his close peers call him, has great spirits to pair with his skills. This dude keeps himself excited: calling every moment of his musical career “an experience.” He’s a dope-assed producer with 16 years worth of paid dues under him.
