There’s no doubt in my mind that Nicolay is one of my top 3 favorite producers. His music transcends past hip hop… past all genres… past all boundaries. This year, with the release of Leave It All Behind and TIME:LINE, Nicolay proves that he is a music force to be reckoned with.
It’s been close to a year since I did my Producer Spotlight on Nicolay. I felt it was time to update the playlist and actually create a podcast for download. So I broke out my DJ Kevy Kev alter ego and mixed an hour’s worth of my favorite Nicolay produced joints. Check it out…

ahh nice one Kev – exactly what i needed before i hit bed tonight lol!
ive said it once, and ill keep on saying it – that easy breezy sunday afternoon mix of be alright is possibly the best track ever created
Hope you like the mix Jason. But yeah, the original Be Allright is good, but that Sunday Afternoon mix is just amazing… one of my favs for sure.
You know what, he’s a good producer, but not great. Sometimes beats are too organic for me, just my opinion.
Too organic? Please explain…
Greatest ever producers? I never heard of this dude, ama check it right now, and holla.
hrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Geeez louize on Brenda’s Baby
Not only is the BEAT better than the original, but the song is too. Yeah bring on the hate.. But I know hardcore WestCoasters who even admit it. Median eats it up
Deez, I said the same thing and some people couldn’t believe it. Yo, the story was on some Ghostface shit. I could picture the female in the restaurant and the Delta’s coming in and taking her under their wing. Classic! Kevin, the beats sound hollow. Has the alternative feel to them.
how about a 9th wonder mix-album or something? i mean, you posted nicolay- and large pro- production etc. how about a 9th wonder collection? would be lovely!
Yo, I have a couple of 9th mix, that’s a classic. I would like for others to hear it, how would I do that?
Trust me… we’ll definitely got around to a 9th Wonder spotlight.
dope podcast
Good mix Kevin. This is FE week. 9th will have his day/week…just not this week.
Vote for Kevin!!!
ok
good podcast tho!
absolutely great!
I love that 9th podcast idea…..by the way, the nicolay podcast is 6 hrs ?!….i havent listened to it fully but is that right ?……your intro suggested 1 hour
Nah it’s only an hour… who said 6?
It does day 6 hours when it plays in Itunes, but it only plays for a little over an hour.
“It does say…..”
