http://youtu.be/Ak9GBR5E6W4 Whilst in New Orleans for Essence Festival 2012, SoulCulture TV sat down with DJ and prolific former-Cash Money producer Mannie Fresh at the House of Blues to discuss his hometown, commercial Hip Hop's need to diversify, his thoughts on the Southern scene, what it's been like working with Kanye West and the crew on Cruel Summer, and Lil Wayne's work ethic. He had a lot to say.

“I’m usually in control of lots of my music...” says Grammy Award winning singer, songwriter and musician PJ Morton. Son of Gospel legend Bishop Paul S. Morton, PJ's third studio album Walk Alone was released earlier this month much to the joy, praise and support of his thousands of followers. Building his industry links whilst writing for India.Arie [“Interested” earned his Grammy], Musiq Soulchild [“Dear John”], Monica [“Get Away”] and Jagged Edge [“So Amazing”] and touring with the likes of Eryah Badu as a background singer, guitarist and pianist - all the while independently pushing his own material - lack of formal musical training hasn’t remotely been a hindrance to the career of this New Orleans native.
