(February
24th, 2009 - Brooklyn, NY)
The bi-coastal production duo Keelay & Zaire will
release their debut album Ridin
High on March 10th via the newly imprinted MYX Music
Label. Featuring a classic hip-hop and R&B production aesthetic and an all-star
lineup of guest artists, the album brings a new breed of polished production
to the forefront of hip-hop.
Featuring an impressive guest list of both established artists
and newcomers, the album showcases Keelay & Zaire’s ability to
fuse their production savvy with the subtleties and personality of the artists
they work with. With guest stars ranging from Phonte of Little Brother to
Blu to Supastition, the talent pool exhibited on the album allows Keelay & Zaire
to display their refined versatility. The album's lead single "The Times
feat. Blu, Fortilive and Nino Moschella," currently in rotation on MTV,
BET, and MTVU, is a motivational call to arms that shows us the vibrancy
of San Francisco with Keelay & Zaire's signature soulful soundscape providing
our musical backdrop.
With Keelay out west in the Bay Area, and Zaire currently
residing in Newport News, VA, the innovative producers each worked on their
own independent production projects before ever meeting. Keelay produced
tracks for Cali Agents, Fortilive, and Saafir while Zaire flexed his prowess
with Norfolk's emcee/songwriter Khizman and Newport News' bluesy singer/songwriter
Jonathan Moore. Although living on opposite coasts, both Keelay & Zaire
were frequent users of online production message boards and used them to
share beats and ideas with other producers. After exchanging beats back and
forth on the ughh.com message board for about a month, it became clear that
Keelay & Zaire needed to meet face to face. Zaire flew out to meet Keelay
in the Bay and the duo found that their individual skills complemented each
other. They decided to embark on a full-length project that eventually became
Ridin High. Ridin High will be released on March 10th on newly formed MYX
Music Label. Check out the album sampler mixed by DJ Mere for Ridin
High to
