I use Sonar, not cause I am sponsored by Roland but because it is incredible and gets me what I want, how I want it in the nick of time. I call it the real musicians tool, Lets have your thoughts and views on the music software you use and why?

Favorite Producer & Why?

A lot of people dont talk too much about Paul C, This is the dude who worked with Ced Gee, DJ Mark 45 King, DJ Premier and other serious names in Hip Hop. He was murdered in Queens in a recording studio but the works and stuff he produced was amazing dope, fatt and jam packed with flavour.

I heard that he pioneered the EMU SP1200 and taught a lot of guys how to use it. If you have never heard of Paul C and you call yourself a Hip hop producer then you are out of touch with real Hip Hop.
