Back in March I posted a series called, “The Gatekeepers”, which was pretty interesting and personal. Well, the series has come back and in this episode, Sam Sneed (one half The Gatekeepers), travels to Paris to interview Bak, doorman of the infamous club “Le Baron” in Paris. This was shot by Akshay and directed and edited by Sam Sneed. Courtesy of Creative Control.

Well people, that time of year is coming around. A time to take a vacation and I don’t know about you, but I’m getting my destination ready.

The ever-traveling Maestro Knows visits North Carolina to interview one of my favorite producers and co-founders of the group Little Brother. 9th Wonder talks about his production style, tools of the trade, his love for soul music, scoring Maestro’s new season’s music intro and the class he’ll be teaching at Duke University called “Sampling Soul – The study of Soul Music of the 60′s, 70′s & 80′s”.
I’ve been a long time fan of 9th Wonder and his outlooks on music and hip-hop culture as a whole. One of the truly humble figures in hip-hop and a wealth of information on hip-hop history. He previously taught at North Carolina A&T State University on the history of hip-hop. If you’re not familiar with 9th Wonder, you’re familiar with his work.
