The Kray Twinz Party with Ne-Yo

UK based producers the Kray Twinz were recently spotted with R&B artist and songwriter Ne-Yo!  The three of them were seen partying together at a club and while we don't have any further details at the moment, we'll be sure to you fill you in as soon as we do!  Hmm... we can only wonder what the three of them were doing together.  Was it a chance meeting or are they cooking up something together in the studio?  Wow, can you imagine what a collaboration between them would sound like?

There's no doubt Ne-Yo is one of the hottest artists of the moment. His hits like, 'So Sick,' 'Closer, and most recently 'Miss Independent' are mainstays on radio stations across the world.  He's worked with tons of artists across all genres, but if he is working with the Kray Twinz, it would be the first time he's doing so with Desi producers!

The Kray Twinz themselves are no strangers to working with mainstream artists.  Who can forget their smash hit 'What We Do,' with rapper Twista?!  Seems like everyone was jammin' to the tune and it also marked what will most likely be remembered as one of the pioneering moments of Urban Desi music in mainstream.  They have also worked with Hip Hop pioneers Pharcyde on their upcoming album, as well as dancehall artist Mr. Vegas.  They've also been in the studio with one of the biggest artists of our time, Sting, and it was all captured as part of Desi Hits! Mr Rap Singer series.  With all that under their belt it seems like working with mainstream artists is probably something their used to by now.

While the pictures prove Ne-Yo was hanging out with the guys we have yet to see if they are actually working together.  So we ask you - if they were to work together, what do you think it would sound like and would it be a good idea?  Leave us your comments!

How many bhangra whatevers can go out and meet actual RnB artists that are hardcore in their own right. These guys have mixed for the biggest names from back in the day to now... Alot of their work is done behind the scenes which is where i'm guessing is where their success began. They experiment with new sounds which to most may not sound great, but it beats hearing one artist mix the one track they got a name for about ten times before getting another artist to mix it again to keep their name in the Desi Hits website blog. These guys are and will be talented for along time to come, Jay Sean messed up by making it with one track and then being a one hit wonder and least these guys are still getting you all talking.

Oh come on dudes, it wasn’t a personal attack it was just some home truths that’s all…firstly whoever ‘Cam’ is obviously is a big fan of vee, sounds like someone super close so I can understand the urgence of getting back to me…thanks for that ;) I see you say Vee’s vocal ability is unrivalled in the ‘asian’ music scene…I thought his tracks and genre of music were supposed to target mainstream RnB? Oh well my bad, it is probably the asian scene he is trying to aim his talents at and if so good luck to him, the guy has got talent as said in my previous msg, however I think if u read through thoroughly you will see that I said he isn’t very productive with his talent. In regards to the production of the ‘what we do’ track, seeing as u sound like such a big kray twinz fan as well I guess you must have heard the cameo show on 1 xtra ??? (those that have heard it will know what I mean). I didn’t actually know that the kray twinz didn’t wanna put the track out, im sure if that’s how they felt then they WOULDN’T have put it out…im sure in my msg all I said was that the beat was good but Vee’s vocals/lyrics were weak and he could’ve done better, that was just my personal opinion, not me saying the twinz think hes shit, that’s news to me?? I am sure there is MORE than PLENTY of room for everyone to do their thing, yes Vee must have been with them for 4 years, but whats he been doing before that and what has he done after…I haven’t heard nothing, lol precisely my point. oh I get it the Indian summer album must have been delayed because the twinz wasted 4 summers and 4 winters on Vee, lol. Seen as ur buddies with Vee please tell him to do something and stop concentrating on what the twinz are doing, im sure with his EXTREME level of talent he will be able to conquer the ‘Asian’ scene as have all the other average joes and then maybe we can have some talks on desi hits about HIS OWN stories rather than taking up other artists space…thanks :D peace…;)

cam that was rather deep an based on fact i think it's true i have watched these guys over the last few years and i noticed only 1 of them actually does something,but then again who knows whos doing what there twinz lol!!!! im a writer for a magazine myself which im not going to receal but i will say that vee guy is extremely talented,and yeah ur right if they diddnt think the song was good and the vocal was weak then why put it out,after all they are suppose to be top producers an he is there artist,aint they suppose to makesure things are on point dont get me wrong me and my girls loved that song ...and personally i think there both good but we all know producers never get more recognition then artists its just how it goes. hey desi hits you should do a show on the kray twinz an insight to how both of them work it would be fab PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DO!!!

Wow that was some personal attack on Vee, seems lyk some 1s got it in 4 him hey Rhea?? First of all how can u say that Vee is a bathroom singer?? Thats the biggest bullshit I’ve heard of 2009 so far. Vee’s vocal capability is unrivalled in the Asian music scene and many top artists and producers will acknowledge this themselves. I actually know people that have worked with him in the stuido and his musical ear and vocal capability are always praised. Vee not getting anywhere with the Kraytwinz?? Sorry I must have missed the hit records and artists that the Kraytwinz have produced.... ‘what we do’ we all now was originally produced by Low Deep, its pretty much common knowledge and Take you home? Was actually a good song... I mean if the the kraytwinz being such amazing producers didn’t think it was good enough why did they put it out? after all they were presenting it! But there were many reasons it didn’t blow..it hardly had any marketing push whatsoever..the kraytwinz flash their money showcase there big cars on TV and talk big but cudnt put together a simple marketing campaign for an artist such as Vee…if u can’t do anything with Vee then I’d b interested 2 see wot u can do. I heard he was working with them for 4 years…4 years!! and all they put out 4 him was that 1 tune!...they really are great producers!… Industry insiders know vees been around 4 ages hes highly regarded. I mean how good r the twinz really? Ive been 2 a few of their shows and they r good dj’s well actually I think only 1 of them dj’s and even on their interview on brit asia only 1 of them took part in the battle (those that watched will know what I mean).. in fact in the mr rapsinger diary…I only saw 1 of them ever in the studio producing..the other must have been the camera man.lol I don’t think the beats we’ve heard by them are even that hot...theres loads of up and coming prodcuers now that cud good give them a run for there money....speaking of money I do wonder where their money comes from coz they don’t do that many shows and they definatley aint made it from the 2 ‘hit songs’ they have put out. Maybe not daddys money but maybe a rich uncle! or they must know a lot of stupid rich people.lol I do think that there is a place for them maybe doing bhangra producing as the biggest hit they’ve had is Beware of the Boys (Mundian to Bach Ke) maybe that’s their strength. and its weird coz eveytime I’ve heard them get interviewed they are always hating….and its seem stupid coz they hate on people that are way more successful then them..its quite funny actually…they haven’t even done an album yet…we’ve been waiting for the ‘most anticipated debut album’ Indian Summer for the last 3 summers and 3 winters. I wonder if its actually gonna b worth the wait…its funny coz when they first came out I remember on BBC 1 xtra they were actually people comparing them to the neptunes….r u serious? that is the most hilarious statement ever made in British asian music.lol I cant even fathom comparing 1 of them to pharrell...ridicoulous anyways good luck to the twinz and vee theres enuff room for everyone to do their thing..i just think those with the real talent should be recognized and all the blaggers should get real. it’s good they have a picture with Ne-yo they are real superstars and super prodcuers, in fact I think that the mr rapsinger diary showed their real musical talent 1 of them was playing the keyz like a asian beethoven.lol

Also the idiots on here commenting about Vee getting better producers ummm, its in a artists hand how far they want to get in the industry. Vee couldn’t get anyone better than the Twinz. Bloody hell he had them and STILL didn’t get anywhere, hmmm let me guess why??? Maybe because he would rather sit in his bedroom and make videos on his phone to post up on facebook with him sitting on a keyboard…just for the benefit of the half dozen women in his life, coz that’s his fan base…lol that guy is a joke. If anything the Krays taking him under their wing was a blessing. Like I said people like him are too content being bedroom/bathroom singers, yes he has the talent but doesn’t know how to be productive with it, if he was then he would be a ‘somebody’ today! Take you home was a great beat, Vee had weak vocals on there and lyrics (him being the songwriter) were not upto scratch. Gotta do better dude!

Yes its true, taking a picture with a mainstream artist doesn’t mean that you’re the next person on their list for collaboration. However I think the point of this article is that they have the capability to be able to work with such artists because they have the talent. What Desi Hits brings up as stories across the board is their bad, that doesn’t mean that highlighting 2 major artists, star’s in their own genre, hanging out is a shit story. Y’all need to stop hating and just keep your ear out coz you never know they might just have something planned. P.S for people that are saying if you take a pic with a star doesn’t mean theres a collaboration, ummm I think what also needs to be considered here is star quality, swagger and immense talent which I think most people giving shit comments don’t have because dudes you aint there yet like the Kray Twinz…peace!

I think its neat when urban desi artist get spotted with the mainstream. Even if they are not collaborating and just meet its cool to see people from different walks of life meet up for a moment. The article just says what if they were to collaborate? It doesnt state they are it just says they were spotted together. Sites always talk about stars being spotted. The Kray Twinz have collaborated with some cool artist so things like is are not impossible. Personal I think its cool if the Kray Twinz collaborate with Ne-yo and its possible because they are making moves. Its sad to see that so many Urban Desi artist are not, at least not in the states or with mainstream. This picture may not mean anything but a star tracker is cool.

Haha, I was there too! Everyone was getting pictures with Ne-Yo. So I guess DesiHits is implying that Ne-Yo is doing collaborations with everyone present that night (only that the pics haven't surfaced yet). If I stand behind George Clooney in a hotdog stand, and my buddy happens to snap a pic, does this mean the world will think I'm in the next movie with him? I guess DesiHits would do a news release, afterall, I'm probably just as famous as the Kray Twinz. Nevertheless, this is very shoddy and poor reporting from the DesiHits staff.

If DesiHits isn't going downhill, why are they laying off their employees? Why do you see a total of 3 ads on this site? Why are their stories half about jay sean and the other half about bs? Finally, what A-list stars are they getting? People like Jay Sean, Raghav, etc. are not known that well in the US, and 50-cent? That was 2 years ago? People like A.R Rahman, yeah he's the flavor of the month, that's why he's giving interviews to EVERYBODY. If you have to fight for it in the U.K, you are obviously with an even worse outlet. I truly want this site to succeed, but it's been getting worse since they first started. I come to this site all the time with the hope of reading something good, but it's either bs, or repeated and re-used from another source that was broken 2 weeks ago.

How is this newsworthy? Someone was spotted with someone at a club? DesiHits is going downhill. I thought this site was a media outlet, not a gossip blog. Struggling for material? Punjabi MC was seen buying a donut last week. Please comment below. - Your DesiHits squad.
