So after doing the remix to Wale's Pretty Girls. the lyrics for this song kept looping in my head non stop. Catch myself reciting lines where ever I am. But one line stuck out like a sore thumb in that song..."My Prada say Prada, and their Prada say Fila..." For a minute, I was like WTF?, you can't confuse Prada with Fila...does Fila even make shoes these days?... and then I found this post that made everything quite clear what Wale was speaking on. this post came in late 2008, but now everything makes sense.
Wow, what a night, our first party at blush. Had so much fun, i'm drunks. can't believe the facebook invitations helped with such a great turn out. Thanks to E.Cheng and Evan for putting together such a good show, and the owners of Blush for lettting us showcase our work. I'm happy to say, I think everyone there had a great time.
2010 comin strong, already having put out Jeezy and Rihanna remixes, I decided to go a different route and blend my two favorite generes together. Made beats out of Indie Rock tracks remixed with brand new hip hop 'pellas. The outcome... so damn beautiful....
This first one is DRAKE VS. FEIST, somehow her song Intuition was the right inspiration to sample from and make a great great hip hop joint. FLY INTUITION - DRAKE (PROD.JDATS) by joeydats
Two remixes today... working hard. This is WALE VS. PHEONIX, Made this right after putting in a hard day as a electrician. lol This is WALE's track Pretty Girls acapella over a flipped version of PHEONIX's Lisztomania... ENJOY!!!! JDATS REMIXES - WALE vs PHEONIX-PRETTY MANIA by joeydats
Did this record about a year ago for the big homey TARREN. He reppin Calgary hard right now. This is a beautiful track right on time for Valentines Day. This is for the ladies. Also featuring the vocal talents of T.O.'s Richie Hennessey of Brass Munk & Produced by yours truly.
Annie on NBC's sitcom Community... the teacher's pet, the geeky over achiever, but is super hot when she lets her hair down from her pony tail. I'm all over that!
Learning the skill of putting together a mixtape. Here's my first attempt... a 20 minute collection of new songs, mixed + 3 JDATS remixes. Gonna try to do this every month.
I was recently challenged by a certain someone to learn a song on piano... challenge accepted. The song in question was The Letter by The Black Heart Procession. A band I had never heard of, but was told they were the greatest thing ever.
Here's the original... Great video and concept...
And....Here's Me playing the first few bars of this song... Listen while you watch my Tiger Woods 10 Character hit a hole in one. I still haven't figured out how to put mp3s on this blog. so i made a video... LoL
Learnt under 10 minutes and a hole in one... impressed?... u oughta be playa... haha
check the progression from a beat to a finished product ft. MOS DEF & BOBBY WOMACK. what started as a electro type back beat, turned into something straight outta a 80s movie soundtrack...
This is a video for Gil Scott-Heron song Me and the Devil, it reminds me of a low budget version of Jay's video "On to the Next One"... any video with zombie skateboarders in NY, is a cool video.
*wikifact: Gil Scott-Heron (born April 1, 1949) is an American poet, musician, and author known primarily for his late 1960s and early 1970s work as a spoken word soul performer
Some of the most talented group of guys I've ever had the chance to hang and jam with. They're headed back in the studio to record their upcoming album.

I'm 3 years too late to actually post this as something new and relevant, but I've been a huge fan of Aziz Ansari since I've started watching Parks & Recreation and plus his cameos in Funny People, Observe and Report and Flight of the Conchords. Here's a funny skit from the show.
When I'm wide awake Seeing things straight You're a love I gotta lose Even though you never change You stay the same I keep on waking up next to you And I dont know why...
Since her very first single "If I Ain't Got You", I've been hooked on this talented, beautiful, thick leg'd woman. Be my baby's mama Ms. Keys... forget Swizz Beats, ya heard of Joey Dats?
I'm no blogger... let alone a damn writter.... Many attempts at blogging has left me with a shit load of empty pages, left over user names, passwords and 3 different Twitter accounts. But I figured I'd give this one last try, stick to my guns, show the world what I do best. Art and Music. It's what I know. All I breathe... This is my gallery, my concert hall. now just watch the show...
