88-Keys – “That’s Life” feat. Mac Miller x Sia

Grammy Award-winning producer 88-Keys with a new track, “That’s Life,”featuring the late Mac Miller and Sia. Mac got inspired and the effort really touched 88-Keysand Sia. Look at what 88-Keys had to say about it.

“That’s Life” is a song which sums up the sentiments of the music I’ve been working on over the past few years. We all have to forge through the good, the bad and the ugly. Mac came up with the concept for the song stemming from a conversation we had in the studio about relationships as we shared with each other what made the ones we were in at the time special. I played the song for Sia and she personally identified with the sentiments of the song and felt strongly about contributing her own thoughts on the subject matter. At the end of it all, my dear friend Mac and my new found friend Sia helped me make a song to touch the world and help many deal with adversities we’re faced with, but “That’s Life.”

‘Rhythm Roulette’ With 88-Keys (Video)

Anybody can make a dope beat from digging in the crates, right? Hahahaaa…No! Now imagine if you are digging blindfolded. In effect, you’re not even consciously choosing the records to make that ‘dope beat’… Them’s the rules of Rhythm Roulette!

‘In the second installment of Rhythm Roulette we linked up with Grammy award-winning producer 88-Keys. From a Steve Martin standup record with no music to a hardcore noise metal record, 88 wasn’t given much to work with but stuck with the challenge.’

88 Keys featuring Colin Munroe – “Wake Up Call” (Video)

High off of producing “No Church In The Wild” for Kanye & Jay-Z’s “Watch The Throne” album, dope producer & emcee in his own right 88 Keys brings along one of my favorite young artists via Canada in Colin Munroe to give y’all a ‘Wake Up Call’ .  If you’re a real music fan you already know 88 Keys & Colin Munroe have both worked with damn near everyone in the music business from Kanye West, Black Milk, Dallas Austin, Jay-Z, Slum Village, Bun B, Statik Selektah, Macy Gray, Talib Kweli, Consequence, & the list goes on & on.  As 2012 approaches 88 Keys will officially add label head to his list of titles with his Locksmith Music Label & the subsequent release of the debut mixtape for it on December 1st.

The Rza, Pete Rock, and Q-Tip Are Among The List Of Producers For The “Watch the Throne” LP

New updated tracklist has been released for Jay-Z and Kanye’s Watch the Throne album. A few surprise producers made their way onto the album. I may check it just to see what those guys came up with but again I’m very skeptical.

88 Keys – Beats No More (Instrumentals)


Producer 88 Keys just decided to let go some beats for the masses that were laying around. Seems like he wrapped it up & called it ‘Beats No More’. All you aspiring emcees & singers might want to go through some of these beats. Personally I’m a guy that sometimes just like to listen to beats with no talking on them whatsoever. You can listen to more of them before downloading after the jump.  If you’re not an artist of any kind & share a similar interest in just listening to beats like myself then you may want to go ahead & download these joints…..
