LOST PRODUCT
Who is Lost Product? I’m an amateur Hip-hop/ Rap producer striving to achieve success. As most Hip-hop / Rap producers do, I began my career in music as a DJ. I grew up in a small town in Arkansas called Helena or Hell-town if you know the history. It’s a small town with a big city attitude that sits on the banks of the mighty Mississippi River, southeast of Little Rock and is about forty-five minutes from Memphis. It’s the heart of the Delta, a Blues lover’s paradise. At an early age, I was spoon-fed Blues, Jazz, Soul, and Funk. In fact, if you look it up, Helena has one of the world’s largest annual Blues festivals (King Biscuit Blues Festival). With an abundance of musical influences in my blood, it was my destiny to present my own sound to the Hip-hop / Rap world. Get ready to witness, Lost Product...
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
Still being written... I am currently deployed to Iraq for my third tour of war... Unlike the many that claim to be, I'm a "Real Soldier." On 16 March 2006, I lost a Soldier over here. Please pray for his family and continue to pray for the rest of us here.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
Most Hip-hop / Rap producers are doing a lot of sampling right now which is fine, but I'd rather not have to pay the royalties... What ever happened to beating the pads, playing the keys, turning the knobs? Stop being lazy!
