We are grinding here at SCR Entertainment, so while we diligently push through the workload, please be patient; you’ll love the new website!

A website we are developing which is essentially the whole catalog of SCR Entertainment is now in the works. The first 12 SCR releases dating back to 1993 plus all of the new works will all be available. At launch we will have over 150 tracks with more coming!

While the site is being completed, we are going to be adding a few albums on a new page on BanginBeatsByREL.com which is being worked on at this time. Currently, we intend to launch the SCR Vault site with the release of my first solo album “Spoken”, currently planned for December.

Here is a breakdown of the 5 most recent beats added to the site:

• Mo Fo U - Other Flavor
• Jazzy Funk - East Coast
• In The Hole - Club Flavor
• West Coast Funk - West Coast
• Symphony Funk - West Coast

All through October you can read my blog for updates and progress on the things I’m working on.

Every day I am reminded of this truth; “My relationships are the most important aspect of my success equation.” My skill is second

For the sake of the point let’s assume you have skill. Let us further assume that given the opportunity you can display that skill excellently. You have spent the time refining, rehearsing and scrutinizing what you do and you really are good at what you do.

OK, you are ready for the big break. Then what do you do? It’s time for a little perspective.

Is music, in whatever area in which you are involved, what you really want to do as a career or is it just what you happen to be doing right now? It’s important to be honest with yourself about this because the answer often governs your choices and results. When you operate from the perspective of music being what you happen to be doing as a means to some other end, then very often the contacts you make are viewed only as someone that can do something for you. Really great examples of this happen all the time; most people won’t provide the help that in many cases they would when you only emphasize and talk about your own interests.

I believe at the core of our being we are all selfish. However, getting what you want can most readily be achieved by helping others get what they want. This is not necessarily less selfish, just a more effective way of achieving your end result.

I’m on a number of different social network websites daily, interacting with friends, casual acquaintances and people I have only just met. I’ll share an example from MySpace. I’ve gotten three different types of friend requests:

1. People that make the request, then do nothing else after I have accepted. They don’t ask for anything and they don’t offer anything. I’ve had some of these around for a year or more without any additional interaction.
2. People who make the request and then follow up with communication only about themselves and what they do, what they are selling, or what they want. I don’t even know them so why would I care, especially when they have demonstrated zero interest in me beyond what I can give or do for them. In some cases, they want to leave a comment on my page but the comment isn’t about me or anything I do; it’s all about using my space as a billboard for their information. Unless we have some interaction, I reject all these requests.
3. People who attempt to connect on some level which always leads to opportunities. The attempt to show interest in another person makes that person far more receptive to helping you in your areas of interest.

Natasha’s album is currently on the high heat burner. Be sure to check the blog for updates.

Beat production for BanginBeatsByREL.com continues to be the priority until the first goal is met: 60 World Class Beats! We now have 27 on the site.
