Colt Ford and Friends Benefit A Success

The Colt Ford and Friends event this week was a big success. Ford welcomed friends Rhett Akins, Jason Aldean, Dallas Davidson, Mike Dekle, Edwin McCain, James Otto, and surprise guests Brantley Gilbert, Rachel Farley, and Corey Smith to the recently rebuilt Georgia Theatre stage on Tuesday, August 16 to raise money for the families of fallen Senior Officer Elmer "Buddy" Christian and surviving Senior Officer Tony Howard.

The emotionally-charged sold-out event attracted over 200 people to a private reception and silent auction at the Hotel Indigo's Rialto Room for a pre-show celebration before the crowd of 1,100 enjoyed an evening featuring all the artists 'in the round' with Ford's band backing the performances. Altogether, the evening raised over $85,000 for the families, with monies still being donated in the wake of the performances.

The aptly titled "Colt Ford and Friends" event was conceived after Ford learned of a shooting earlier this year in his community that left his high school friend, Senior Officer Howard, injured and resulted in the death of Senior Officer Christian, leaving both families at a financial disadvantage in the tough economy. In less than one month, Ford organized the fundraiser and called in friends to help him pay tribute to Christian's memory. more on this story

Singled Out: Ace Hood's Go N Get It (FT. Beanie Sigel, Busta Rhymes, Pusha T & Styles P)

Today Ace Hood tells us about his single "Go N Get It Remix" featuring FT. Beanie Sigel, Busta Rhymes, Pusha T & Styles P. Here is the story:

When I decided I wanted to do a remix to "Go N Get It," I knew I wanted it to be something big but also something different. I've been lucky enough to be a part of some big records but I wanted to make this something new where I brought in some people I hadn't worked with before. I wanted to really involve the streets and embody the struggle from different parts of the country.

When I sat down to get this all done I made a list of who I wanted involved. I set out on a mission to make this track showcase different areas and the mentalities that come with them.

First, I called Beanie Sigel and I rapped the hook to him over the phone…he was so inspired that he started rapping his verse back to me right then and there. I knew then that Beans was going to bring the track up a level, I could hear the struggle in his voice. He killed it.

Next up I went to Busta Rhymes, a real O.G., one of the greats! When you deal with Busta you know you're only going to end up with the best. Having a legend like him on the remix meant a lot to me. Now we'd hit Philly with Beans and New York with Busta so I decided to head south and get Pusha T involved. The track is really about getting the streets involved…different blocks and areas and what they are about. Pusha reps VA and brought his side of the hustle to the song. After Pusha I only had one more person I needed to push it all over the edge. That's when I went to Styles P and added some more New York vibe to it.

I didn't let anyone know who else was going to be on the track, I kept it all internal. I'd tease it here and there to some of them, but for the most part people were in the dark. I ended up getting everyone I wanted and created a real street remix that I am proud of. Everyone involved did their thing and so far everyone has loved it. The response has been real positive across the board.

Check out that "Go N Get It Remix" and make sure to get my album Blood, Sweat & Tears in stores now!

Hearing is believing. Now that you know the story behind the song, listen for yourself right here!
