Untitled...
Time to start the show for the people. She was driving me wild after I hold her "I want you". They say the southside is where the game is. It is crazy out here, they question you, black maybe is what some reply, we have so far to go. It breaks my heart to be so misunderstood. Things will change when forever begins.

The Lonely Loner...
All Alone...
he enjoys being solo
All Alone...
he thrives by himself
All Alone...
he crys instead of flys
All Alone...
he wonders instead of believes
All Alone...
he enjoys the silence
All Alone...
he thrives on fear
All Alone...
he crys instead of trys
All Alone...
he wonders instead of hopes
All Alone...
he enjoys being solo
All Alone...
he thrives by himself
All Alone...
he crys instead of flys
All Alone...
he wonders instead of believes
All Alone...
he enjoys the silence
All Alone...
he thrives on fear
All Alone...
he crys instead of trys
All Alone...
he wonders instead of hopes
All Alone...
Congrats to AJ Styles for winning the TNA World Title...

Wonderful Tunes Vol 1 Review...
*A good friend of mind took the time to write a wonderful(pun intended) review of a recently released beat tape, check it out..*
Yo man, I know it's been a long minute since you released Wonderful Tunes, but it hasn't been til now that I've really sat down with it, and I wanna let you know how I feel about it.
Firstly I wanna say I think your chopping, and sampling as a whole, has reached a new level. I can tell that you're hearing things in the samples that you would not have heard a year ago (e.g. Fly, Soothing Souls, Epic). And there's solid cohesion in your sampling...it doesn't sound like you just found a couple "clean" sections of a song and slapped them together. Each chop is a compliment to the chop before/after it, and they work together to form what could stand on its own as an original composition. But at the same time I can tell they're not simple loops...you've worked hard to find suitable chops that sound and fit nicely next to each other. You've found a balance...the average listener might not notice how many chops one of your beats is composed of because they're smooth transitions, but the trained ear can decipher how much chopping has gone into them. It's the best of both worlds.
Next point I wanna make is that, I know that at the end of the day you just wanna make soulful music, but at the same time, you construct your tracks to leave room for vocals. I guess that's where there's sometimes been something missing for me when I listen to your projects, because I know a solid rhyme can completely change the sound of a beat when executed right......but I'm not a rapper so I can't always hear it past the exceptional execution of your sampling. I need vocals to feel a complete experience. But a lot of the tracks on WT1 can, and do, easily stand alone. I'll name my favorite tracks: ooooh baby, sing it, fly, pain, feels good, (I like how you put pain and feels good back-to-back btw, haha) soothing souls, epic. And these are my favorite because they can take me somewhere on their own, no vocals necessary. I can give them my own meaning without the help of someone else, and I can experience more than just "yo, that's a crazy flip" or "that was a clean chop." It's become more than simply listening for execution..there's an independently living body that I can really experience and apply to my own interpretation (while at the same time being "directed" by it in a particular direction).
I also wanna commend you for taking on the challenge of re-flipping songs that have already been flipped by one of the best "flippers" there are in 9th. I can't really get with I Can't Believe simply because it sounds too much like Lovin' It....but other than that, there's no 9th influence/"biting" whatsoever in this project. And it can be a really difficult task because when you're trying to sample a song you've already heard flipped a certain way, it's hard not to hear how it was used, and it becomes difficult to break away from it (at least for me). So...job well done. If I didn't read the concept behind the album in your blog, I would have never known...which is a good thing.
Last thing I wanna say, for now, is...Soothing Souls came waaaaaaay outta left field. But man is it a beautiful song..makes me wanna put on some flip flops and take a walk in the sand at sunset with the girlfriend I never see, hahaha. Closing the album with Soothing Souls and Epic was a GREAT touch....actually, when I first heard Soothing Souls I thought to myself, "why wasn't THIS the last track???" But then Epic came up and I understood why.
