Finally, Time Machine's producer/DJ whiz Mekalek is fronting his own project, featuring his own well-planned beats and calling upon a mix of hip-hop's most notable up-and-coming rappers (Cool Calm Pete) and established vets (Percee P.). Mekalek's production is certainly robust, strong like the blackest coffee, and representative of where conscious hip-hop is standing.
Time Machine's DJ and beat-smith, Mekalek swerved into his own lane to mastermind his solo production album, LIVE AND LEARN. On this project he worked with established vet Percee P, up-and-comers like Cool Calm Pete, hometown talent ready to bust at the seams, such as Fedd Hill, Sparks and Shawn Jackson, and of course, his own TM crew. Mekalek is also known as a radio DJ for years of top-notch service at Rhode Island's 90.3 WRIU and as a mixtape DJ highlighting creative blends and rare songs. He performed the scratches on Sage Francis and Joey Beats' Non Prophets album, and he loves Chicken Parmesan and the Boston Red Sox.
