New Orleans super producer, Mannie Fresh gives insight on his background, career and everything else in between in an exclusive 2 hour interview with the Red Bull Music Academy in Madrid.
With a record catalog long enough to fill an encyclopedia, Mannie Fresh has basically been the sound of New Orleans hip hop for the past 25 years: producing hits for Nola staples like Lil Wayne, Juvenile, BG, Big Tymers, and bounce queen Cheeky Blakk among others. In addition, his marching drum snare rolls and 808-heavy production trademarks have been picked up on and incorporated in the dirty south canon at large. In this lecture, hosted by Cocaineblunts’ Andrew Noz, he touches on everything from his humble beginnings with local MC, Gregory D, to the Cash Money heydays, and his more recent approach to DJing and production.

The MF DOOM one was great and I love Mannie Fresh so I definitely going to watch this
Fresh is that dude.
I went to MF DOOM concert over Mannie Fresh. 15 euros each performance. Concert was dope.
“originally Bun B was supposed to be in the Big Tymers” OMG OMG OMG OMG
sad to see an opportunity like this go unnoticed and under-appreciated. mannie fresh is a legend. they shoulda had some real fans of the music in the audience and as the host instead of those boring ass whiteboys.
one of the best out of the south to do it. Fresh
