It was my pleasure to invite Cambridge to our team as Editor-In-Chief on last Friday. After reading and hearing his work it seemed perfect. Upon spending some hours getting to know him it was evident that he would play an integral role in helping this movement get rolling. When asked to review the studio in an objective way that would allow the world to get a feel for Publik Transit Studios, this is what he had to say:
Thank you Cambridge for such a wonderful review. We look forward to how you will help us to deliver our voices to the world with your pen or I guess these days its your Blackberry.

Peace.
MY PUBLIK TRANSIT REVIEW
From the outside, it is only a house--but it is more than just a house. One would probably only notice if he happened to hear the soft booms pulsating from the attic. Anyone privileged enough to enter this mysterious music box will quickly learn that it has a secret. It moves! This house is Publik Transit, an humble, bustling establishment, decked out in retro urban artist fashion. It is the stuff of hip-hop cinema, the stuff of bottom boy day dreams.
Deeper inside, at the heart of this East Atlanta think pot's song, sits a certified tone master, fixed to the big screen, focused on the beat. Only the proficiently prolific are allowed to take the Publik Transit. The studio's ambiance is one of free-will southern hospitality, one of home. It is a perfect combination of comfort and functionality. And what better environment is there for an artist to hone her craft, and bang out the next eargasm?
Any artist would grab at the chance to work in an environment as easy-going and chock-full of musings as this hit maker's breeding ground. And it shows on the game faces. It shows in each track, each complete work worthy of rearing it's head from Publik Transit's studio monitors, and of inclusion in the studio's lofty repertoire. And if I had a Peso (cut in half) for every time the question, "why isn't THIS the stuff I hear on the radio?" or the confession, "I would stand in line for hours in baseball-sized hail for that other guy, but for THIS, I wouldn't be that stupid," popped into my head, I would be a millionaire.
Judge Publik Transit by its cover, at your own risk. There are no custom-made suits, and champagne buffets here. And you would think that CEO, Ashley Peoples, was a record executive, or that Blue Suede was the founder/owner of a fledgling co-op recording studio, in a past life. It's a great thing that this is what they do, because it is, undoubtedly, what they do best.
Recently, I've joined this fast-moving train as its new Chief Editor, and the giddy little school boy in me hasn't finished raving, or jumping up and down, yet. Somebody hold a stretcher on stand-by, just in case I pass out. In the meantime, anyone visiting the studio can find me in a cool, low corner, skin-brown cap steadily bobbing, with a finger in the air--not for being the next best thing, but for being the only thing anyone should spend his time pursuing. And I'm here until they kick me out.
