Out Da Box TV is proud to bring you a very special episode with Music Legend “ROY AYERS”. We got a chance to meet with Mr. Ayers during his recent visit to NY, where he was gracious enough to speak on some interesting topics. One of the key subjects discussed was Hip Hop Sampling of his music, which Roy explained he was happy with and in support of. He also spoke on why other musicians have been resistant to support sampling of their music, and shared some insight behind their reasoning. Now at 70 years of age, Roy is still performing and putting out new music. He explained that he enjoys doing it and feels the creative energy he had when he was younger. It was truly a pleasure to be in the presence of such an impactful artist. Everybody, from A Tribe Called Quest, to Pete Rock, Erykah Badu, Mary J Blige and so much more, have been influenced by this man. Although he’s famously know for his singles “Everybody Loves The Sunshine” and “Searching”, Roy’s vast catalog is filled with an abundance of great music, making him one of the most sampled musicians of all time. In meeting him, what I found extra special is his humble personality, he has a vibrant energy that speaks strongly in this interview. Ok, I’ll stop rambling now, and just let you peep for yourself. This was truly a wonderful experience. We hope you are inspired. Enjoy!!

This is my tribute to some of the great African-American entertainers who were born in the borough of Brooklyn, NY, which is also my hometown. This was inspired by the “Roll Call” scene in Spike Lee’s “Do The Right Thing” where Samuel L. Jackson’s radio DJ character says a list of famous African-American musicians, though not necessarily from Brooklyn. I had always loved the music that was playing behind it but was always surprised no one tried to duplicate the idea, though I guess it was impossible to sample it since it was completely spoken over and didn’t appear on the movie soundtrack.
I figured I might as well be the only person to attempt to replay some of the elements of the music and turn it into a tribute piece to Brooklyn so I hope even those who are not from there can still appreciate this and the artists I mention who made their impact on the entertainment world at large…and daring to add myself to this already illustrious list 😉

Understanding:
"Your pain is the breaking of the shell that encloses your understanding. Even as the stone of the fruit must break, that its heart may stand in the sun, so must you know pain. And could you keep your heart in wonder at the daily miracles of your life, your pain would not seem less wondrous than your joy; And you would accept the seasons of your heart, even as you have always accepted the seasons that pass over your fields. And you would watch with serenity through the winters of your grief."
— Khalil Gibran —
