Check out the recap from our trip to Paris with Lifesavas!

You can listen to my full interview with Tim Einenkel here. We discuss what it means to be a producer vs. a beat maker, the legendary J-Dilla, and the samples used in The Pharcyde’s hit “Passin’ Me By”.

Listen to the previously unreleased bonus track “No Wasting My Time” by Tre “Slimkid3″ Hardson:

Get “No Wasting My Time” as a bonus track right here.

It was April 12th 2012 when I was taking in the beautiful pleasures of Portland before rehearsal…Alberta street… Morrison… just killing a little time before meeting with the Doo Doo Funk crew on Broadway & 33rd area…  Sun was out finally. As Ice Cube would say, “It was a Good Day”. Got to rehearsal to soak in some of the residual Funk with Tony Ozier, Brutha Numbsy, Dookie Milk, and the crew before our April 14th Show at CROWN ROOM Downtown. Had a full schedule also with this DJ gig later on that night at SomeDay Lounge for the Mixer party, not to mention the interview for the Paris show at 360 Vinyl… Didn’t know you could cram so much in a small moment, but… Here it is.  Enjoy!

MEGAN FOX IS A FAN OF SLIMKID3 AND THE PHARCYDE

The beautiful, Megan Fox stopped by #SwayInTheMorning and surprised the whole studio when she said she’s a fan of Slimkid3 from The Pharcyde and Fu-Schnickens. Yes, she’s a fan of current music like Drake and Andre 3k – but prefers OG hip hop because of her husband’s (Brian Austin Green) taste.

Get the full scoop with Megan Fox on Sway in the Morning here.

So when I heard last week that G. Love was going to be in Portland on March 3, I had to hit him up right away so I could go check him out, hang out, and play some catch up. We first ran into each other on the road a few years back — he was a really cool dude and we hit it off, so we got together after that to do a song on his “Superhero Brother” album called (you guessed it) “Who’s Got the Weed”.

G.Love and Slimkid3 “Can I Kick It”

Anyway, he hit me back on the text right away saying he wanted me to jump up on stage with him and do “Can I Kick It” (make sure you check out the youtube vid of us above doing an impromptu version in a bathroom somewhere in Australia) and “Who’s Got the Weed”. However, I’ve been pretty deep into my own recording lately which meant that I had too many new rhymes circling my head to remember any of my other rhymes at all. I listened to the track on my iPhone for a few days to jog my brain on the verse I wrote. I had it all together only to get to sound check and fuck it up as if I had never even practiced it at all. But G was totally cool about it and we quickly put something else together that turned out effing fly. It was a mash up of the Biz Markie record “She’s Just a Friend” and The Pharcyde track “Passing Me By”. What a classic mix. I loved it.

SLIMKID3 SIGNS G.LOVES GUITAR

Fast forward to the show: I’m standing back stage with G. Love and his lady giving me the pep talk — G tells me, “Tre, you know the rhymes to ‘Can I Kick It?” I said yes. He said, “let me hear it.” So I kicked my verse for the version of “Can I Kick It” that we created in Australia. And then he was confident that we could do it in the show.

The combination of the two of us on stage went very well for the Portland crowd and they were extremely open to the Golden Era classics we mashed up as well. It was a great night.

G. Love, good to see you bro. Until next time.

Peace,
Tre

‎#Anonymous takes on prison industrial complex, hacks The Geo Group, Inc., posts “Mumia 911″ featuring Slimkid3.

In the song, one verse rapped by Slimkid3 proclaims: “Now they were playin God just to feel the power / Not to justify that of you and I / Holdin daggers up and lettin you decide / after passin information that’s falsified / Stand behind a lie? What does it cost to die? / What does is cost to live? Why do they specify? / These terms of why when they ain’t the most high / What they fear the will kill but the soul will never die.”
