OK so let’s have an honest moment.  As excited as you are about this year’s Roots Picnic you really don’t know at least half of these artists on the bill.  It’s ok you are not alone.  Don’t tell anyone, but neither do I lol.  Listen every year I have this same conversation with Questlove, like “who are all these people”.  He generally responds “just watch you’re gonna love it Laiya”.  I hate to admit it,  but he is generally right. So how about we get to know these folks before the show?  This way we can decide ahead of time who we really like!  So here is my attempt.

We started with Emily Wells  continued with Roman Gianrthur, Chill Moody, Electric Hustle and now Just Blaze!

 So this is a safe zone.  It’s okay if Just Blaze’s name doesnt ring a bell.  But after you read this, it can’t happen again lol.  So Just Blaze is a super producer, turned DJ.  He has produced some of your favorite songs.  Straight from North Jersey, Just Blaze made songs like

“Beanie (Mack Bitch)”,

“Girls, Girls, Girls”

“Song Cry”

Oh Boy” (Cam’ron feat. Juelz Santana)

“What We Do”

“Flipside”

Can’t Let You Go” (Fabolous feat. Lil’ Mo)

Live Your Life” (T.I. feat. Rihanna)

“Compton” (Kendrick Lamar feat. Dr. Dre)

And more!  I told you he produced some of your favorite songs!  And one of my favorite things about this producer is I bet you would have never thought those songs were made by the same producer.  Unlike other producers there is no signature sound effect or instrument that is a constant to identify his sound.  Just dopeness!  I cant wait to see him rock the crowd at The Root’s Picnic!   Watch as Just Blaze breaks down how he made another one of your favorite songs, Jay-Z’s “Public Service Announcement”

Follow him everywhere @JustBlaze
