Jack Nickelz Presents: Kese Soprano in the Mighty Flow Young
"Mighty Flow Young is a raw hip hop project with wide variations of topics lyrically with a perfect match production soundscape." This is how the NJ bred Emcee, Kese Soprano feels about his current release with CT Producer, Jack Nickelz. "I gotta agree with Kese, this is a throwback to a time were you used to enjoy listening to a whole album without having to fast forward through songs. There are no fillers in this joint right here." This is why Jack feels that this project could really put the NJ emcee on the map. You can hear how much of a labor of love this was as the Kese talks about some of the tracks on the project."This Is What I Do I would say was definitely sparked by the Joe Pesci sample in the beginning of the track, It felt perfect to let people know how much I put into these songs I come up with on this track. It's basically me telling the listener I have the musical fix you need." "Been Focused, the sample put me in a trance, and that's how I came up with Been Focused. I am focused on my goal and no one can stop that." "Gotta Have Faith is basically a page out of my everyday life dealing with the stress surrounding me. This is me telling myself I can't quit on life now. I gotta have faith in order to make." "I personally feel that this project is a great body of work, we wanted to give hip hop fans a raw feel. Nickelz really came thru on the boards with this one. We sat down with a goal and accomplished it 100%" says the NJ emcee as he thinks about everything that went into putting this together. "The thing that will freak some people out is the fact that me and Kese have never meet in person or talked on the phone. This project was all done through IMs and chats, combined with a love for the music. This project is the perfect example of how technology has made it easy for people from different areas to come together for something" say the fledgling producer, "But this project also makes me proud because its made in the image of Hip hop that I remember from when I was growing up." But you don't have to take these two's word for it. download "The Mighty Flow young" and decided for yourself just what feelings you get when you push play.

My status
"It's been along time, I shouldn't left you..."
I've been in the lab writing to alot of tracks trying to bang out as much as possible and of course living life. I must say I had a rough two weeks, and maybe even a rough past 3 years. But It's okay, it builds "character lol. I have good news, Putting The Game On Life Support is right around the corner! I must say I am excited because I've been waiting for it to hit the streets! When I get a set date after I talk to DJ Shortkidd I will let everyone know. I also have a raw sounding project with Jack Nickelz coming soon entitled "Pound for Pound" which includes tracks he produced for me last year.

1) I see in your setup that you have both an MPC and Fruity Loops. Which were you using first and do you use them together now?
I originally started to learn how to make beats on the MPC 2000XL. And to be honest…I tell everyone if you can get your hands on an MPC 2000XL go on and get that because it is pretty much one of the best machines in my mind to work with. Once I load a sample into it, I pretty much have free reign over it. There is no opening up this program and thing swinging everything over to that program. It’s a one stop spot. The only thing is, I don’t have the mobility with it. Now like all producers I had a rough spot where I was aching for dough and had to choose rent or the MPC. Hated to do it but the MPC had to go. Thus forcing me to get with the 9th Wonder backed FL Studio. It took me a little bit to get used to, but now I love using it. Right now I’m strictly FL Studio. And I’ve learned to do everything inside the program. I’ve remixed songs using just FL and created a lot of joints on it. I love the fact that if I load it on a laptop, I can pretty much make a beat any and everywhere.
2) You seem to have a lot of experience working with indie artists. How did you get started? I started in this game as a DJ, then I became an emcee. One of the main reasons I started making my own beats is so I didn’t have to wait on anyone for a track. Plus the fact that sometimes some producers don’t listen to artists and I didn’t want to always have to deal with that. As I started getting better with my craft, some of the guys that I spit with would come to me for a track. My boys Casino Dialz and Sinis were the first guys to trust in my sound enough to let me do their whole project. That lead to other people hearing my tracks and wanting to work with me. But to be honest things really started popping off when I started using MySpace more than normal. I would jump on MySpace and connect to indie artists and talk to them about working together. I’ve given away a lot of tracks in order to work with a lot of people. But hey…sometimes you have to do things like that. And now I can say I’ve worked with a variety of people such as Apathy from here in CT to Pestalance from Houston and Kehmak in Canada. I’ve come to realize that a lot of guys like working with me because of my unique beat style and sample selection and my ear for the music.
3) You replayed Bob James’ “Angela” (The theme to taxi) on “Latka Kravitz.” What did you play it on? Are you trained in keyboard or did u learn by ear?
The Latka Kravitz actually is the simple chopped up sample from the actually song. I never played it out. What I did was chop the piece I liked and placed them in the order that I would like to hear them song wise. A lot of people think I played it out because of how smoothly the chopped sample pieces connect. Of course the whole track was produced on the MPC for a beat CD project I did with my boy, MF Swayz. As far as being trained in keyboard, of course like everyone else I took classes in school…but I mostly play by ear.
4) Do you have a studio where you record? If so how did you put it together?
Right now I’ve started to get things set where I can record in my own crib. But I’ve recorded in various studios from Jaxsn Music, Studio 26, The Halfway House, etc. As for what I’m putting together in my crib, the pieces I have now are my lovely hand built PC running FL Studio, Adobe Audition and ACID Pro 6. I plan on getting my M-Audio interface so I can move up to Pro Tools or rock with Cubase.
5) Do you have any up-coming projects? Lord do I!! Right now I just finished remixing joints from Blak Philly.
I just finished doing a joint for Apathy as I mentioned before. I have projects from guys in my crew like Casino Dialz, Myk Fevah & Kinkade Tha Bully. I’m currently doing joints for Sinis, Original Soul, Pestalance, ROCKOLEONE, A Rock band named Rotary and others. And I’m really looking forward to hooking up with my old partners, The Forgotten Soulz, Doc Vaporz and Jimmy Fontaine on our upcoming joint. And as always, I’m always looking to work with more people.
