You may not know the name if you are in America, but Jack Splash is probably one of your favorite DJ’s favorite producers. After hitting big worldwide with his alter-ego Plantlife, which sports an electro-funk meets disco meets hip-hop had a bastard baby with R&B sound, Jack Splash got to work in the States as a songwriter and producer, expanding his ever growing resume and winning a Grammy by producing “I’m His Only Woman” with Jennifer Hudson featuring Fantasia, “Teenage Love Affair” with Alicia Keys, “Be My #2″ by R. Kelly and more cuts with Estelle, John Legend and it goes on and on.

He’s dropped 2 mixtapes, Heir To The Throne, Vol. 1 and King of The Beats, Vol. 1, with a 3rd, Future of the Funk to drop soon. All serve as prequel to his debut album “Technology and Love Might Save Us All…”, which drops this Spring and is lead by the buzz single “I Could Have Loved You” which features Missy Elliott & Jazmine Sullivan (which you can hear above).

We had the chance to sit down with Lil Mo for a phoner as we caught up with her about her latest projects, transitioning through different phases of life, and the latest scandals to hit the ‘Net. It was a HIGHLY enjoyable interview and I’ve decided to post the audio as well as the transcription of the interview.

Enjoy this hilarious, and at times spiritual, interview as Mo and I talked about Cassie’s scandal, why she’s called “The Godmother of Hip-Hop and R&B, her independent ventures, the balancing act that is her life, and most importantly, where she has been all this time! She also doled out some good life advice too!

Chester Gregory sings “I Only Have Eyes 4 U” Live for Tha Feedback

Introducing to most and presenting to others Chester Gregory. This new, yet not, artist is bringing his distinctive mark to the R&B world with his new album In Search of High Love. Coming from Broadway success and a deep rich and varied musical background, his ample range and grown and sexy approach to music make his debut album a pleasurable listen.

In a time of independent success and shrinking major labels, Chester is stepping out on his own and hoping that you will be convinced that his voice is one you want to hear on a daily basis. We talked about a lot in our interview, from his success on Broadway, his humble beginnings outside of the traditional “black gospel” church, and to how he adapts quickly from stage to studio and back.

A tireless hustler, a gentleman, a talented vocalist and musical force to be reckoned with — these are all the things that describe Chester Gregory. It was a great interview and he dropped lots of knowledge, so it’s lengthy! We talked about 30 minutes!

Check out an exclusive clip of him singing a snippet of his single “Only Have Eyes 4 U” above and peep the rest of the interview after the jump!

So I got the chance to do a phoner with the lovely Melanie Fiona. She’s as gracious and polite as she is a good of a singer. I had a great time chatting with her, despite both of us having colds and feeling under the weather! Talking to her about her influences was fascinating, and really makes me feel great and excited about her soon to drop project titled The Bridge. I asked questions about her roots and the new world that she has entered head first called “the music industry”.

I’d featured her a while ago on a podcast (Episode #2) back in November (yeah, I was one of the first to drop her music on the web…) and had been enjoying her music ever since.

I even got an impromptu performance of “O Canada” out of her! She is a native Canadian and said that I was the first to ask (go me!).
