MTV + Friday, The animated Series Gets Its Theme via DOT.TUNES

MTV and Cube Films are launching a new animated series inspired by Ice Cube's hit movie series "Friday". Marksmen Producers Kimson Albert, aka Angola Red, is a lead animator on the show and when he threw the word out that the theme wasn’t in place, aces from the Marksmen Guerilla Production Network stepped up to bring an updated Westside sound.

The producers posted up their theme submissions into the DOT.TUNES server, using the DTUploader, a plug-in which allows users to drop and drag content, which is then uploaded to a remote server. The client, using their unique username and password to the server, listened to those submissions from the playlist created for them, which they were able to stream, and pick a favorite.

Lez Lemon, “Lord of the Themes,” locked the gig but there were plenty of dope submissions by Mr. Khaliyl, Olu, and Kasper as well as some proper vocal assistance by Maya Azucena.
