M-Dot – “Days Are All the Same†(Prod. By Hi-Tek) [Video]
January 2, 2020
I got the message. And it wasn’t even ‘texted’ to me. Folks, maybe (read: DEFINITELY) we should put down the phones and raise our heads AND levels of consciousness (and conscientiousness). Get ‘into’ the world instead of phone-caming and sharing about it. Live… instead of ‘going live’ all the time. It is a new decade after all, right? Hear the words and watch the vid from M-Dot.
The coveting of societal acceptance has reached new heights in a social media (“like†based) dominated planet. You find more people looking down (at their phones) then looking up to see what’s happening with our culture nowadays; increasingly becoming robots to a system dangling products to the wide eyed eager consumer. M-Dot‘s latest single ‘Days Are All The Same‘ paints a lucid world of these exact human shortcomings. The social/political narrative is carefully laced upon the back-drop of Hi-Tek‘s (Snoop Dogg, Big L, Eminem, 50 Cent, GhostFace Killah) eccentric drum arrangement. Ego And The Enemy 2 Coming Soon!!

Rhythm Roulette With Hi-Tek (Video)
May 11, 2016
Uh oh. Hi-Tek picked Elvis… best case, a real beatmaking challenge (worst case, a LAW SUIT waiting to happen). But this is the game the top producers play. Hi-Tek = Top Producer. Let’s see him try to make lemonade out of these lemons he picked.
(Insert whatever Beyonce reference you like here.)

October 28, 2015
OHHH! The sound, the style, the swagger. What’s not to love about this live performance of “Every Ghetto” by Talib Kweli; featuring Rapsody and musical backing by The Roots. Got the music video and Indie 500 (Kweli and 9th Wonder) album pre-order linked below from an earlier post.

HI-TEK – “Ohio Players” feat. Shad Moss (fka BowWow) x Krayzie Bone x Bootsy Collins (Video)
December 8, 2014
No need to explain all these artists’ connection, right? Hint (just in case): The title is more than a reference to the old school musical group. HI-TEK doing work with fellow “Ohio Players” – Shad Moss (the rapper formerly known as BowWow), Krayzie Bone (of Bone Thugs In Harmony) and funk legend Bootsy Collins.

Erykah Badu x Hi-Tek – “Honey” (Duncan Gerow Blend)
April 6, 2014
BamaLoveSoul gave much love and propers to Alaska-based producer, Duncan Gerow, for his latest Erykah Badu / Hi-Tek blend. We give respect to BamaLoveSoul for sharing the wealth and bringing this jewel of a joint to our attention. FREE download below!
Gerow skillfully places Badu’s vocals over one of my favorite Hi-Tek produced beats. It quickly reminded me that Erykah actually did do an official remix to Reflection Eternal‘s lead single “The Blast†but I always felt like I got robbed a little bit cause all she was relegated to were hook duties. So to hear this blend gives my imagination free license to wander/wonder a bit as to what she could have done on this track with a little more leash and leg room.

Hi-Tek – “Where U Been” (Video)
March 24, 2014
“Hi-Tek-Zilla… Where you been my n!gguhh?”
Hi-Tek brought us the beat (and a verse on) that Talib Kweli (Reflection Eternal) classic, “The Blast.” Solid enough pedigree, agreed? Well, dude is back with a vibing track (good for riding and/or chilling, as demonstrated by the video above for us. Nice.

Dave Chapelle on MPC with Hi-Tek? (Video)
August 3, 2011
This video surfaced of whats supposed to be Dave Chapelle the comedian in the studio with Hi-Tek and Talib Kweli messing around on the MPC. The video is blurry and dark but I’ll take the internet’s word for it.

The Game feat. Dion – Runnin’ (Original Version)
July 12, 2011
This Tony Yayo-free version of Runnin’ surfaced yesterday. Not a huge fan of The Game but The Documentary was a dope album and this was by far my favorite track from it. Tony Yayo wasn’t needed on this track but you can see the G-Unit influence and label politics turning a perfectly good song into a rappiddy rap track, but I digress. This version features 2 verses from Dion. Enjoy!
