NUMP Engineer/Rapper Video Footage Live From Million Dollar Studio Infinite Studios

[MRTHECOSE]

good little info on dude.....

” Oolley oolley olie olie yahh yahh ya ya!!! ” Bay Area born and bred NUMP aka NUMP TRUMP possesses the talent and musical passion to turn heads in the entertainment/music industry with his charisma, astounding studio resume, and his street credibility all obtained at such a young age. He began rapping at the age of ten; participating in schoolyard battles and ciphers, to gain the respect of his peers. Although early on NUMP was often doubted as an emcee, the period after his high school years played a major role in NUMP’s musical development which would ultimately lead to a career pursuing his passion.
Besides DJ’ing and making compilation tapes with his brother/producer D1 the Knockaholik, NUMP started working with numerous street marketing teams in Northern California which landed him a gig with Def Jam West. The job at Def Jam allowed NUMP to tour with the West Coast portion of the “Hard Knock Life Tour”. Upon returning home from tour NUMP enrolled at the local community college and accomplished an inspirational task on receiving a music certificate at Diablo Valley College. This led to enrolling and graduating top rank at the Conservatory of Recording Arts and Sciences in Tempe, Arizona. His placement of internship landed him at Studio 880 in Oakland, CA. Here NUMP worked for free as an intern with artists like Green Day, Smash Mouth and Iggy Pop. At first, NUMP did not intend on working with this particular genre of music, but he did whatever it took to stay in the studio and gain valuable experience behind the boards.
Fortunately for NUMP hip hop group, Blackalicious, moved into the studio C portion of Studio 880. Already keeping busy with a handful of artists, NUMP jumped on as an intern with Blackalicious as well. At this point, NUMP was putting in close to 60 hours a week as an unpaid intern, but soon opportunity came knocking on his door. The owner of Studio 880 introduced NUMP to Michael Denten, the owner of Infinite Studios and a west coast mixing engineer legend. Infinite Studios was the home to a majority of bay area rap artists. In time NUMP earned the title,”House Engineer,” at the studio and achieved his career goal to be an engineer working with all the artists he grew up studying: E40, Messy Marv, Rick Rock, Keak Da Sneak, Nate Dogg, Mac Dre and many more. He is also credited on mixing the solo album of funk legend, Michael Cooper, and for conga legend, Giovanni Hidalgo. These experiences opened up a whole new universe of music to NUMP, which strengthened his studio knowledge as an artist. You can hear the drastic growth and maturity in the sound and attitude in each of NUMP’s releases. NUMP believes that the unique experiences at Infinite Studios have been major contributions in making him the enduring all around artist he is today.
His fifth release and second solo album, “The NUMP Yard,” was released in late 2005 on his own label, Bay Luv Records. The album features guest appearances by bay area heavyweights E-40, the Federation, Mugzi, Droop-E, Turf Talk, and many more.

[thevce]

Nump is one of my favorite rappers. His beats are actually innovative and his flow is different sounding. "Slizzerd"....what a great song. Are there any other rappers that have an overly electronic sound like Nump does? I want to hear the full song he did with HardNox but I can't find it any where.

 

[Pak Dan]

Between Mike Denten, Digeon, and Nump the three people who mainly engineer at Infinite Studios the sounds and finished product that come out of that studio are amazing! Turf Talk's album "The West Coast Vaccine" was mixed and mastered there and im sure you guys know the quality of that album was near great! Much respect to Mike, Digeon, and Nump for very good quality!
