For Red Bull’s latest lecture they sit down with Mannie Fresh, who in my mind is not only one of the greatest producers but one of the most genuine people I’ve come across. I think Mannie’s a genius but don’t take my word for it, here’s what Red Bull had to say, “With a record catalog long enough to fill an encyclopedia, Mannie Fresh has basically been the sound of New Orleans hip hop for the past 25 years: producing hits for Nola staples like Lil Wayne, Juvenile, BG, Big Tymers, and bounce queen Cheeky Blakk among others. In addition, his marching drum snare rolls and 808-heavy production trademarks have been picked up on and incorporated in the dirty south canon at large. In this lecture, hosted by Cocaineblunts’ Andrew Noz, he touches on everything from his humble beginnings with local MC, Gregory D, to the Cash Money heydays, and his more recent approach to DJing and production” Wish I could’ve been there.
