Frank Nitt – Hollyhood (produced by Terrace Martin).
Frank Nitt described the genesis of his Terrace Martin-produced EP Jewels in my Backpack in an interview back in June:
I’d been visiting [Los Angeles] a lot when Illa J was doing his record for Delicious Vinyl, and then one day, I told [owner] Mike Ross that I needed to play him some records. A week or two later, I was in his office and I had 40 joints produced by everyone from Madlib to DJ Babu to Terrace Martin. The Terrace Martin ones caught his ear, and that’s what he wanted to put out.
We put out the single “Go Girl,” and it did well, so we decided to do an EP. We had a previous history, so it wasn’t like two guys trying to figure everything out. “Jewels in My Backpack” was essentially my way to blend the two worlds of L.A. and Detroit together.
Historically, amazing things have happened when Detroit and LA mix.
