CEE-LO – BRIDGES (PRODUCED BY THE NEPTUNES)

New Cee-Lo music! Well, kinda/sorta. This is a joint that was left off of The Lady Killer (2010), and produced by The Neptunes. This sounds like classic music to me, I can’t understand why they didn’t include this on the official release. Anyways, here it is in all it’s glory for you to indulge!

OK before you go all “What the f*ck $! JoJo fam? You on that Disney Channel shit”…you should listen to the track. It’s obvious that JoJo‘s grown the fuck up, plus with Chad Hugo of The Neptunes producing & co-writing the song with Kenna, you know it’s something you should check out. Hell, it’s up on Blind I so you know it’s not wack. Indulge thine feeble minds!

BLIND I PRESENTS THE NEPTUNES – DECEMVIR

Snoop Dogg – Pass It Pass It (Feat. Pharrell) (Advance Version)

I’ve been working on this for a LOOOONG time and I finally completed another masterpiece. For those not in the know, The Neptunes are a record production duo consisting of Pharrell Williams and Chad Hugo, who are credited with contributing the sound for some successful Hip hop, R&B and Pop artists in the late-90s and 2000s. The Neptunes’ sound is a distinctive brand of off-kilter, stripped-down electronic funk. Along with Timbaland and Dr. Dre they were the driving force behind many of the musical characteristics of late-90s/2000s hip-hop, helping to re-introduce sci-fi style sounds into the hip-hop mainstream, along with sounds from Middle Eastern and Asian music including percussion and woodwind.

I decided a few months back to make a collection of my favorite rare, b-side, and unreleased Neptunes production, from 1999 to 2009, in order to create a dedication to over 10 years of next-level music that still stands the test of time. I swear listening to these tracks puts you in a state of mind where everything’s better around you. Decemvir, which is the latin term for “ten“, is used to describe this decade of incredible works from the stellar production duo. Their music can speak for itself more than anything I can say, so without further ado, I give you…
