Sundeep - Houston, Tx

Sundeep originally hails from New York and currently resides in Houston, Tx. I've been in contact with this cat since the mid 90's and he's always came with heat on the production tip. Over the years his sound has continued to grow and expand. For more information and examples of his work visit myspace.com/sunspark.

"Life, we are born into it. We Live it and then we leave it, to come back again to rectify the mistakes we have made in our previous life. I have made many mistakes, maybe I have fixed the ones I have made in my previous life but I have made more in this life. My music reflects my life and is ever evolving. Changing the wrongs I have done so I can make this world a better place for the people who live here now and the future generations. The tracks on my page are from my previous life and the ones from this life are yet to come. Thank You" - Sundeep

The Nutsons - Oslo, Norway


The Nutsons are two brothers from Norway. Both incredibly skilled on the production tip. As of late they have grown into a multi-faceted presence to be reckoned with. Not only with the beats, but with audio engineering, film and film editing. They are dedicated diggers as well. On many occasion I have referred to this duo as "librarians". Their collection of records is outrageous with thousands of rare pieces. I've enjoyed working with The Nutsons over the past 10 years and plans for an upcoming Nutsons x Tony Infamous project is in the works. Peep myspace.com/nutsons for more info and examples of work.

"We've been making beats for over 10 years now. We make both instrumental music and beats for rappers." - The Nutsons

Mike Slugs - Chicago, IL

I've had the pleasure of working with Mike Slugs since 2004. My partner, Actual Fact, introduced me to Mike Slugs when we officially launched our Full Duplex Music Label that same year. Throughout the years we've kept in contact and Slugs always hit me with the new shit he was workin' on. The beats are hot, straight-forward, non-experimental and bangin', always. Peep one of the latest beats my homie conjoured up not long ago. Mike Slugs works with recording artists throughout the United States and overseas. Visit myspace.com/deptstarproductions to hear more examples of his work.

Sunrise Records - Beaumont, TX

As some of you might know, I have relocated back to Southeast, Texas (Beaumont / Port Arthur). Sunrise Records is a dope spot to pick up vinyl. I've been digging there off and on for the past 8 years or so. They have a huge selection of 33 1/3 and 45's. Aside from records, Sunrise is also a headshop as well and they carry movies, posters, skateboard decks, skateboard accessories and adult toys, hah. The people there are cool as hell and don't bug you about anything whilst digging. If you somehow find your self in Beaumont, Tx stop by and don't forget to tell them Tony Infamous sent you!

What's this all about?

For the most part this blog is specifically targeted towards hip hop production. There will be an array of information involving but not limited to tips, techniques, resources, sampling, breaks, record digging, producer spotlights and equipment reviews. You'll also find some random thoughts and experiences coming from myself as well. Drop a line if you want to contribute and/or have any suggestions.

Want to be listed on this site?
We will be showcasing the hottest producers around. We're recruiting producers from every walk of life. Whether they are extremeley active, have discographies and touring or if they simply make beats at home for their crew or equivalent. ALL producers listed on our upcoming site will be handpicked. Not only by us, but by the producers that get recruited along the way as well. Once launched, this site will be a database of producers who drop that heat on a consistent basis. If Mc's are looking for a producer to work with on a project, or somebody is simply looking to put together a nice demo joint. They will no longer have to sift through millions of weird, experimental, garbage and wack producers in order to find something of quality..

Our main focus will be collecting, organizing and promoting individual producers including the following:

1. high resolution images
2. in depth bios (or simple)
3. mp3 snippets (will not be available for download by anybody)
4. promotional info (current projects, flyers, interviews, etc).

send all info, mp3's and images to tonyinfamous.com

Peace,
Anthony G. Hernandez
