DJ Freestyle Steve Inside The Box Interview

Very recently the JUKEBOX:DC interviewed our favorite Disc Jockey, Freestyle Steve! Here's the full interview:

In our next Inside the Box feature we interview DJ Freestyle Steve,  Steve is the official DJ for music mogul/production genius Timbaland as well as the exclusive DJ of choice for many NBA and NFL players and others in the music business.The veteran DJ has worked on projects with many of the elite artists in music such as Dr. Dre, Justin Timberlake 50 Cent and Madonna. In our interview, he speaks on what he has been up to since working with Missy & Timbaland, What his dream concert to Dj for, and  what he is currently working on. 

Why are you called Freestyle Steve? Were you a freestyler before DJing?
My good friend gave me that name because I never played music. We had an underground radio station, and I wouldn't play Miami music. This was back in 1990-91. He said "you just play all kinds of stuff you just freestyle". The name just stuck. I still follow that same thing, that's what makes me me. I have the word 'freestyle' tattooed on my arm. I never play anything set, I just make it up as I go alone. Like I said, the name stuck, and I still freestyle. 


What have you been up to since Missy Elliot & Timbaland aren't active in hip hop?
We've been in the studio with Missy and Timb, those albums are 99% complete. I've been doing my own parties overseas. I recently did Brazil and Marrakech in the same week. I did Madrid, lots of overseas parties. Recently I've gotten back into Miami parties. I recently did my first Miami party on the beach. It's kinda like getting back into the swing of reconnecting with my city. Hearing my voice in the clubs, I've been out of the states for about the past 2 years. Gotta get my people back here. Lebron, D Wade, Santana Moss, it was crazy one night at Rico Love. Club Rush is always an incredible place to DJ.

You have worked with elite artists such as Dr Dre, 50 Cent and Madonna. Can you speak on those projects and involvement.
With Dr Dre we did the launch party for HP Beats By Dre Laptop, in LA. Being in the studio with him and Timb is a great memory. Madonna was an experience of its own. It was Timb and Justin Timberlake in London we were working on the album 'Candy'. Being around her and listening to her stories, DJing a party for her was a once in a lifetime. We went to NYC and did a party for her at The United Nations for her foundation. Madonna doesn't take any shit, she's a true diva.

What would be your dream concert to Dj for?
My opening act would be R Kelly followed by Prince, my intermission artist would be Luther Vandros, he's gonna sing during the intermission. My close out artist is going to be Teddy Pendergrass. That's my guy, I love me some Pendergrass, musically I love him. The crazy thing is the person who would host it would be Justin Timberlake. Could you imagine how crazy that concert would be? That's my concert there!!! People might ask why would I say that, they think I would be only hip hop. I'm totally different than that!!

What songs currently get heavy rotation on your set?
French Montana remix Rick Ross and Diddy, Rihanna with Calvin Harris, Beyonce Love On Top, Timb Break Ya Back, obviously that's in my rotation, Jeezy She Said, Rick Ross Stay Schemin.

What are you currently working on?
My mixtape series, also working on building relationships with different promotors. It was hard to build when I was out on the road. Everyone was asking for me and Timb. Continuing to work and build my brand, trying to keep right. I have some DJs under me right now, DJ Styles from Jacksonville DJ NVS Styles from Miami. Working hard on Timbs and Missy's release. Worked on Demi Lovato's upcoming joint. Doing lots of parties, getting that popping. Working on this deal with the W Hotel, doing my own series in the lobbies of their hotels. I'm going to be on the road traveling with my brother Andre, taking over clubs. Just having fun.
I just had my first experience of Bieber fever, worked with Justin this recently on his new album. He is the new Micheal Jackson, his fans are some true die hard fans. One girl said they flew from Brazil just to get a peak of him. We recorded at Hit Factory. He's becoming a man on this new record, he's got some good stuff. I was really impressed. I didn't think he would do that. I've seen it all and did it all, and eve I was like WOW! International party series, that still is my core. The Timb and Missy tour is coming that's coming real soon so watch out!!!

Shock Value III - "Album Sound"

I've been thinking about doing this post for sometime now, it is about the overall sound of SV3, just like how SV1 sounded epic, while SV2 sounded a little bubblegum pop.
Now based upon the songs that have been released here's what we've got:

WARPED: 

We know that song sounds way too epic and at first we thought it was going to go on SV3. However a little while after Tim released the snippet Magoo jumped on the track and added his verse and Timbo decided that Warped should go onto Block Party.

NAKED:

This song leaked at around the same time that Paper, Scissors, Rock leaked as well, probably by mistake or intention? There is still debate over whether or not this was meant for F.A.M.E. or SV3, so we'll have to wait until the album comes out to find out.

PASS AT ME:

Released as a buzz single near the end of 2011 to help Interscope promote their new book CULO and reportedly the first single off of SV3. There is however no indication so far if it is the lead single for the album or even if it will still appear on the final cut.

THIS LADY & LITTLE DRUMMER BOY:


Western Union Singing Telegram was launched in December 2011 and during the Christmas period and these two songs were made available to record your vocals in karaoke style to send off to friends/family as a personalized holiday greeting. However it is unlikely that Little Drummer Boy will make the album but yet there is the possibility that This Lady could make the final cut, despite the fact that Tim actually wanted to throw it away.

BREAK YA BACK:

With the recent release of Break Ya Back to the radio airwaves, DJ's, media websites, fans have all been going crazy over the track. Above posted is the newly released Dirty Version which contains an EXTRA verse by Timbaland.

So with all these sounds in mind we can so far say that Shock Value III is just plainly going to sound epic! Timbaland has kept his promise about bringing his beats back to where they belong. All in all the sound Shock Value III is going to be amazing!

Timbaland at SXSW & Break Ya Back (Clean)

The showcase undoubtedly went very well (except for the few power outages which Tim claimed happened because of his hits) but anyway many hits were performed by Timbaland, including Break Ya Back, I'm A Triple Threat, Give It To Me, Promiscuous, SexyBack, Carry Out, Red Bone (snippet), a Rick Ross song, a Snoop Dogg song and 2 other songs that I don't know the titles of.

It has been brought to my attention that a LiveStream video was shared very recently but Timbaland doesn't want it to be shared, (even though he slipped the link himself). So to be true to Timmy I will not share that video, however I can this snippet with the Timbo/Rozay collab:


For now however I can share with you the images from the Timbo stage set:

On a brighter note I can share with you a version of "Break Ya Back" without radio DJ shoutouts:

UPDATE! Break Ya Back: Sample Info

Okay, so shortly after the premiere of our radio rip we can tell you guys what song Timbo has sampled for "Break Ya Back". Thanks to one of our chatters named... BreakYaBackSample, we can announce it's "I Against I" by Mos Def and Massive Attack, a song from the Blade II soundtrack:
At 0:38 you can clearly hear the melody that's playing throughout "Break Ya Back", though the radio quality might make it difficult to notice. However, it's easy to spot during the verses. Thank you BrakYaBackSample for the sample, lol! :)

Edit: Here's another song using the same melody, it's propably the REAL Break Your Back sample, though it's possible there's much more tracks using this melody (it's a really catchy one). Now you decide which song Timbo used for his newest single. So here's the second clue, check out the chorus:



What's your opinion?

Timbaland Ft. Dev - "Break Ya Back" (Radio Rip)

Here is the BRAND NEW and long awaited track "Break Ya Back" featuring singer Dev which hit the radio airwaves today. This song is set to appear on Shock Value III. Here listen:



Finally ever since we heard from last year about it do you think Tim will change the game?


And now thanks to Boodi Bin Timbo, we have a phone call that Timbaland made to the radio station giving some background on the track:

Yo yo yo be sure to check out Dev´s new song "Don´t Hurt It" feat. TIMBALAND! Timbo Da King killed it with his verse in my opinion - what do y´all think ?
