Teekaydaa and DJ Hardnox
Lyrist Teekaydaa and Berkley native DJ Hardnox,who at the time was a new producer on the scene, met back in 2014 through a mutual friend named AD and Hardnox's big brother Elijah. One day AD brought Teekaydaa to Hardnox's home and the two hit it off. Shortly thereafter, the two strated work on Teekaydaa's debut album 2 Love or No Love at Platinum Productions (a state of the art recording studio) and DJ Hardnox was tasked with overseeing the album. 2 Love or No Love has spawned two singles so far: the laid back Life On the Rocks and the introspective How Can I Love You. DJ Hardnox also served as the main producer of Tai Hustle's G.O.B. (God Of Brooklyn) EP.
