http://www.access4artists.com/ (a4a) is a new global online talent discovery platform
that connects and promotes artists across multiple disciplines. The site
is a dynamic digital hub that keeps fans informed and engaged and
empowers these ʻtastemakersʼ to take an active role in launching their
favorite artistsʼ success.
After our initial talk we hit it off on what was his look and what was he trying to convey being that it was a National magazine and he was being interviewed by Editor Datwon Thomas Editor ...Here is looks I came up with ...
Kiate on Inspiration: For me I was just saying to my friends, "Wow. This cat needs to be on
stage with Lady Gaga". I saw this rock band and I was like, "Wow!" Two
brothers and one white guy and they were banging it out. I was like,
this is what we do this for. Like there's this artist named Ro-Spit, he
did this song with Freeway, he's from Detroit. See, he got the talent
to do it, he just doesn't have the platform...Access for Artists. That's what we're trying to do.

On the Long Range Plan:
To embody everything for entertainment so that a kid from Brooklyn,
so that the kid from Wichita, if he wants to make it, he can come on
and get everything. I want to be the Walmart of entertainmen
t. I
want people to be able to say I got my beat from here, my lawyer from
here, my accountant from here, I want to be that one stop shop in
entertainmen
t. And most importantly we want to redefine success. The success may not mean being Jay-Z.

...Ok like everyone else when listening to Kanye's Mercy what stuck out the most was the Jamaican sample and what was he saying and towards the end he was was going crazy ... so I had to investigate lol I did not know if it was a sample or if he had someone speaking patios on the track ...during my investigation I found out it was Fuzzy Jones a Reggae legend that was the go to guy for that shit talking Patios braggadocio. Before his [rip] in 2005—when he was hit by a car while riding his bike
near Arrow’s dub studio in Kingston, Jamaica—Fuzzy became so well known
that his voice was immortalized on numerous soundcla!!hemed records
like the classic King Tubby’s disc seen above. Read on to find out where
the “Mercy” sample came from…
