Note by Note

In this weeks episode of Note by Note we will be talking with ALASKA REDD.  ALASKA REDD’s musical journey began with Fairbanks, Alaska-based 50 Belo Records in 1994. After the label’s relocation to California in 1998, Redd stayed behind and continued his relentless pursuit of bringing underground Hip Hop from Alaska to the world – and from the world to Alaska. While helping the culture grow in his own hometown and state, he has been labeled as a “pioneer of Alaska’s Hip Hop scene” and is highly recognized and respected throughout the region. He has five full-length releases under his belt and has appeared on numerous mixtapes and has been a featured artist on multiple tracks by well-known artists here in Alaska and the United States. His first album debuted in 2001 and was called “Orgnizdrkus” (Organized-Ruckus).  In 2002, he released “Clearer than Black and White” followed by I.M.W. (Interior’s Most Wanted) in 2004. Alaska Redd then signed other local artists to his ReddDott Productions label and tried his hand at the production side of things, releasing artist Hastyle Reign’s “A Warrior’s Tale” in 2005 and King Slim’s “Crown’d Royal“ in the summer of 2007.  Since the fall of 2007, Alaska Redd has expanded his business and musical endeavors by starting and operating a concert promotion company called Permafrost Promotions.   Please join us Friday @ 6pm Est. or 3 pm Pacific time if you're in Jesse's part of the world for this amazing story and artist.
