The homie Steven Kim wrote an incredible article over at our affliate site OGHipHop.com. Steve goes in about his slump with hip hop and introduces us to Ronald Jenkees, your producer’s producer. Interesting read if you got the time.

Yes, I’ve been listening and watching this guy for awhile now; I stumbled onto his youtube vids (”Hello Youtubes”). Honestly, when you first start watching the vids you wonder (well atleast I have) if this persona is real, something like an alter ego, or whatever…I still really dont know the answer…I myself have an alter ego…hehehe at times…I’m not crazy, really Im not…forreal.
But whatever the case is, whether this guy is real, whether he’s putting on an act I really “almost” don’t care, why? Because his music is great to me…he’s a very good musician.
I like his arrangements and the impromtu over the beats…and I wonder…why hasn’t he produced for any mainstream artists yet, or indie artists…and if he hasn’t I wonder if his persona turns ppl off…wow if it does that’s a form of dicrimination to me (sorry didnt mean to go that far)…the music, his music speaks for itself…and loudly (no pun intended).
Yeah this dude has crazy skills. What makes it even more crazy is that he says he plays by ear. As for his antics, I’m not sure if he’s for real either, but I don’t think that really matters because its original and entertaining. A lot of musicians take themselves too seriously. At least he doesn’t.
I agree
