On March 8th and 9th of 2008, hundreds of
established and upcoming producers will descend upon Phoenix, Arizona,
to attend the annual One Stop Shop
producer’s conference, masterminded by Sha
Money XL‘s production and artist management company, Money Management Group. The conference will feature top industry
professionals, platinum track making producers, and new technology trends from
companies like Microsoft, M Audio, and Traxxpad. It will also include an
itinerary filled, video game tournaments, after parties hosted by NYC’s most
noted DJs, and the infamous One Stop Shop Beat Battle. and most
importantly the industry workshops/panels.

This year OSS
features The Microsoft Technology Panel hosted by Arif Gursel, a software test engineer in the Microsoft XBOX team as well as The Power Management Panel which
features Gee Roberson, Derick Jackson, Bernard Parks,
Ryan Press and more. The 2008 One
Stop Shop also boasts a Tastemaker Panel and a New Producer Panel; so it
isn’t surprising that this conference has captured the excitement of producers
that have constantly saturated the music game with their talent. “This is
the conference for those that are serious about making real moves in the
industry… You gotta love it” said NO I.D.

The lineup for the 2008 OSS
include producers; DJ Toomp, Swizz
Beatz, the legendary DJ Premier,
Hi-Tek, DJ Quik, 9th Wonder, No ID, Trackboyz, and Nottz. This
year, Money Management Group is honoring the works of Swizz Beatz, famed for his unique production and his continuous ability
to produce number one hits and Atlanta
based Grammy winner DJ Toomp, known for his platinum selling hits with T.I. and Kanye West.
Other panelists include; Shalik Berry
(Def Jam), Conrad Dimanche (Bad Boy),
Jean Nelson (Atlantic), Lenny S., (Def Jam),Wendy Day, Chuck Creekmur

Beverly (Ozone), Juan Madrid (Sony ATV),Maani Edwards (Universal Publishing)
and more. Young Buck, Lil Scrappy, Kurupt, Outlawz,
Talib Kweli, and Riz are also slated to make appearances
throughout the weekend. “This year is gonna be bigger and better. We’ve got
the support of great talent and companies that share our vision” says Kisha,
MMG Marketing Director.

Over 700 producers from around the world attended the One Stop Shop of 2007. MMG had producers
flying in from Africa, Bermuda, and the UK. “The future of the One Stop Shop
is growth. I want this to go down in Hip-Hop history and be a major conference
like Mixshow Power Summit, R&R, Sema or Midem. I want to
continue to let new producers find their way through this industry and learn
just who the key players are and what networking is about,” Sha explains. Money Management Group teaches producers and artists the importance
of branding. “It is so important to brand
yourself in today’s environment. You have producers dropping LPs like artists
now.” Sha states.

MMG’s
conference has helped jumpstart the careers of last year’s Beat Battle
finalists. “Since the conference I’ve had beat placement on both the Pac
and Rick Ross albums” says Jiggolo, OSS
Beat Battle
Finalist.
