Diggin’ for samples/ Making beats

 Watsup everybody!

 It’s been a while and then some..

 I been busy going to the Olympics, and making beats, and writing my rhymes of course. I been doing quite alot of crate digging recently. It’s where you find small sound samples/ snippets from vinyls, and rearrange, loop, re-record them to make a new song. Anyways, If you’ve heard a Kanye track then you’ve heard sampling.  I been really getting down with my partners in production crime Makoto and Adrian on the production side of things, we tried sampling Mongolian folk music ( didnt work), Nebuta Japanese festival music (Did work! look out for the beat) and going through all the old jazz, 70’s soul, funk, blues, sort of stuff. If any ideas come to your mind for samples then I’m all ears like dumbo :) 

 To check out a snippet of one of my new tracks with an old 50’s sample, go to my download page . The Track is called Dreamin’ and it’s about…Dreaming innit? 

 Catch you in a bit.

 The magical piece of equipment you can’t do hip-hop without. The MPC-1000

… Makoto pointing out that when you spend too much time on the MPC, you need one of these to clear your head.
