Santi tells MTV News she plans to use ‘fun props’ when she unveils her new single, ‘Disparate Youth,’ at the March 15 show. By James Montgomery Santigold Photo: Logan Fazio/ FilmMagic Santigold was announced Thursday (February 23) as the first performer at the 2012 mtvU Woodie Awards, and from the sound of things, she’ll be bringing her A-Game. Or at least her props. “The show now involves some umbrellas; we try to use fun props on stage and make it look like a real show with, like, props and a lot of cool choreography,” she laughed. “We have a lot of fun on stage, and we’ll definitely put that into the show.” Santi may be the first artist confirmed for the Woodie Awards — set for March 15 in Austin, Texas, during the South By Southwest music festival — but she’s far from the only name attached to what has quickly become a daylong event. For the first time, the show will expand to include an open-air music festival, which kicks off at 1 p.m. CT and features an eclectic bill that includes Fun., A$AP Rocky and just-announced additions like Chiddy Bang, Kimbra and Ed Sheeran. It’s a move that reflects the anything-goes ethos of SXSW, which is just one of the reasons Santi agreed to take the stage at the Woodies … that and the fact that she’s got previous Woodie-related experience. “I played the Woodies several years ago [in 2008], and it was a lot of fun. The show is a great platform for artists, all kinds of artists, and I like that it is happening during SXSW,” she said. “I love it down there, love all the different bands you get to see. When they asked if I’d like to perform this year, I didn’t even think about it. I just said ‘yes,’ it was a no-brainer.” During the show, Santi will be unveiling her brand-new single, “Disparate Youth,” the first taste of what fans can expect on her upcoming Master of My Make-Believe album (due this spring). It’s sure to be a highlight, though, for her Serbian fans, it’ll also be nothing new. “We’ve been doing ‘Disparate Youth’ for a while — I’ve been working on these songs live; I tried to work on these songs as much as I could outside of the country,” she said. “I think the first time I performed ‘Disparate Youth’ was in Serbia. It was cool. It went over pretty well, I’ve got to admit.” The Woodies Festival will be held on Red River and East First Street in Austin and is open to both SXSW badge-holders and music fans alike. The entire fest will stream live on Woodies.mtvU.com and leads up to the awards themselves. On Sunday, March 18, the best moments from the Woodies will be broadcast during a 30-minute special airing on MTV and mtvU at 8 p.m. ET. Voting is also under way in all Woodies categories, and remains open until March 9. Voting in the Breaking Woodie category will continue during the live show March 15. Fans can cast ballots in all categories through the Woodies website , on their mobile phones at M.MTV.com or by texting VOTE to 66333. Standard message and data rates may apply.

When producer Wyatt “Wyldfyer” Coleman says he started making beats in “the lab,” he’s not just tossing around industry jargon. Before he brought the world beats like Jay-Z and Nas’s “Black Republicans” or Kendrick Lamar’s “ Kush and Corinthians,” the Philly native was pioneering the mobile studio—sort of. “Black Republicans” “We would be at the Spelman computer lab, me and my homeboy Chris. Spelman always had the better computers because they had the Cosbys funding them,” says the Morehouse and Georgia Tech alumnus of his humble beatmaking beginnings. “Kush and Corinthians” “I didn’t have a laptop so I had Fruity Loops on a 100MB ZIP disk . I had to install it each time. I’d bang away for a few hours and then delete the program from the computer. It was a demo and with the demo you could export the project but you couldn’t save it. So when I made my beats I had to finish ‘em up, bruh. I had to finish the beat or I’d never hear it again. Low budget? I’ve been there.” Thanks to that kind of hustle Wyldfyer now holds the distinction of being the only producer (thus far) to have had Jay-Z and Nas on the same track–twice. He programmed the slaps for Ludacris’ “I Do It For Hip-Hop” featuring Nas and Jay-Z and the aforementioned “Black Republicans.” “God is my manager, bruh,” he says. “Me and NO ID were joking around one time cuz he did “Success” and we were saying ‘we’re the only ones that had Nas/Jay-Z collabos.’ I don’t know what made Luda get Nas and Jay-Z so that was just a blessing.” Currently Wyldfyer is at work submitting tracks for the next Nas album and is sitting on some unreleased Biggie vocals that could make his career if he wanted to. He submitted two remixes to the Biggie Duets album that weren’t used, but he still has the acapellas. “It didn’t make the album so it would be an unreleased Biggie song that no one’s ever heard,” says. “It’s the slow flow Biggie. It might just be a verse, which is probably why [Puff] didn’t put it out. But I’m not that thirsty to put it out there and ruin my career.” Follow him on Twitter @Wyldfyer
