Shout outs to Cookin’ Soul for the TEK mention in their Myspace Music feature. Check them out at CookinSoul.com and follow them on Twitter @CookinSoul. The trio is crazy with the beats and all the features they are getting now are very much due.

Jabari speaks on the making of his record Dopeman, which will be featured on his upcoming album Famous on the Internet. Jabari talks about getting both Nicki Minaj and Pusha T on the same song, and the process involved. Cookin’ Soul produced the beat for Dopeman. For those that are in the DC area, you can check out the World Premiere of Dopeman, produced by Cookin’ Soul at Commonwealth on May 5 at 7 pm.

Cookin’ Soul takes you behind the scenes into their home studio as they cook up another ridiculous hip hop beat. The group of beatsmiths has been behind some incredibly dope hip hop music as of late, and if you haven’t checked their Notorious B.I.G. tribute mixtape with DJ Drama, you can get it here at WeLiveThis.com in our archives section. Look out for their first video blog coming in the near future, but for now, you can check them out at CookinSoul.com.

Shout out to Tek who is featured in the first joint. I hit up Cookin’ Soul about doing some joints on Tek’s upcoming mixtape, and of course, we had to get him on this project!
