Here at 2DB we like to get behind the scenes. Know the ins and outs of the music industry. Luckly , our girl over at MOMMYWARBUCK$ is the same way and with her recent interviews with an up and coming music producer, writer , and performer Ricky Blaze – we have a glimpse into the music industry from a totally fresh viewpoint. And if you didn’t know he’s responsible for that catchy “Hold Yuh” song by Gyptian made more popular by Nicki Minaj’s verse – Heres a little Ricky Blaze 101 from the Momma herself:

Blaze is responsible for the “Hold Yuh” record by Gyptian and is also noted for his feature on the Major Lazer record “Keep It Going Louder” which also featured the lovely ladies of Nina Sky. A genre of music, “Trancehall” is recognized as a type of music that originates from a trend that Blaze is responsible for as he began to mix gritty Dancehall tracks with Trance music. Not only has he had a major impact on Dancehall music, and has been responsible for influencing epidemics such as Dubstep, he is now making his mark in Hip Hop and Pop.

Check out the interview below with the music extraordinaire and check out her website for more in the series, “A Day in the life of Ricky Blaze”.
