WORKING IN ATL WITH THE CLUTCH

I'm sure you all know who the clutch is...The Clutch is a collective of songwriters responsible for a series of hit songs, including Omarion's "Ice Box", Ciara's "Like A Boy" and Timbaland's monster international hit "The Way I Are".

Based in Atlanta, The Clutch consists of Candice Clotiel "Gg" Nelson, Ezekiel L "(E)Zeke" Lewis, Patrick Michael "J. Que" Smith, Balewa Muhammad and Keri Lynn Hilson. Any combination of two or more of the five writers on a song is considered a track "written by The Clutch" as they rarely work as a complete fivesome.

we have worked with Balewa Muhammad for many years,
(he is responsible for many of the GREAT JAHEIM records
& a decent amount of hit's Divine Mill has released in the last 10 years)

we recently trekked down to Atlanta to work on records for our new artist Chris Lawrence (wait till you hear this guy!!!)

as usual it was great hanging with Balewa, it was our first time meeting and working with Zeke (who was mad cool...) we had a great time...

we woke up..worked out...ate and got to work and didnt stop till it was time to eat dinner...

of course the culinary expertise of Le chateau Terrence (ok...that's just me) was in effect, i was able to cook up some banging meals, you know I love to cook...
(and i must say, I am GOOD at it)
basil grilled salmon, my signature shrimp & Grits..stuff like that..LOL

well we'd eat an early dinner and start recording the song we worked on writing/producing all day...

we did this for a week so we didnt have much time to take pics..here's a few pics of the trip..
