Variations

A little grimy joint I put down a while back! All MPC2000XL (Still unmixed & unmastered)

Mind State: Feat C Plus & Chase Moore (Prod. By DJ Epik & Goldfingaz)

Here's a little smooth joint I made on a day when I needed some positive vibes to brighten my mood. Can't remember what the sample was from, but the beat was banged out using the MPC Renaissance & Logic for the bassline... It's still not mixed or mastered.... Enjoy...

Lessons

Some 80's funk, soul inspired shit... Actually, to be real, Kool G Rap & Nas's "Fast Life" influenced this one... This was made using samples from "The Genie" by The BBQ Band. I put it together on the MPC Renaissance & I played the Bass in logic... Needs mixing & mastering... Enjoy... 

The Fast Life

Classic track that I produced for Mac Dre, in which he entitled "cutthroat soup"... I originally made this track back in like 2001 I believe? The guitar chops are from a Sade record, & the flutes I think I took from a 70's movie score??? RIP to the late great Mac Dre. He was honestly one of the coolest, most down to earth artists I ever had the pleasure to work with...

Cutthroat Soup (classic Mac Dre instrumental) Prod. By DJ EPIK

This was the 1st joint Dre & I worked on... I made this beat back in 2001, & when I originally put it together many of my artists I worked closely with always skipped over this one when it came to choosing beats to write to. When I met up with Dre, I was HIGHLY surprised that he chose this track. Needless to say, the song became a hit & one of Mac Dre's most popular songs after it was featured in the Treal TV video & on the AL Boo Boo album... It was definitely a challenge to put this one together because it has chops from multiple records, but most of the main chops were taken from a Prince song entitled "Head", including the drums & synth snippets... RIP Mac Dre!!!!

Can U Shout (Classic Mac Dre instrumental) Prod. By DJ EPIK

This is an unreleased track that I did with U-Dub, otherwise known as UnderWorld. U-Dub consisted of Chuck Taylor & Spek Da Knuck formerly of Socialistik. We recorded this back in 2001. This was a banger, I wish we would've released it back then....

This is a track I did for Mean Doe Green (AKA: Doey Rock) late last year. It appeared on his last album. The sample is from a Tom Browne song called "Charisma", & although it very much sounds like a loop, it had to be chopped & time stretched quite a bit to get it to stay on beat when looped... Enjoy!!!

Put this down a while back using nothing but my MPC2000XL & some samples from my good friends, the super talented Monophonics! Still a rough mix, but enjoy!

Mirage

A little joint I put together a while back using the MPC Renaissance! Still a rough mix & it needs a baseline, but you get the gist!

Silent Hill

A raw track I forgot all about until I stumbled across the CD today. I produced this back in like 2005 for Rack$ Anonymous which featured my dude's Zo & Npire Da Great of T.H.A.... The chops are from the Bar Kays if I remember correctly? FREE ZO!!!

If you're a fan of the classic Hip Hop sound, but with a new twist, This is a MUST HAVE song. DJ EPIK came with a timeless beat with the Jazzy, soulful flavor of late 90's Hip Hop, but with the low end knock & quality of modern music. C-Plus came with witty, raw, punchline filled lyrics that compliment the track perfectly. This is Boom Bap, Head Nod music for the soul at it's FINEST..... Download & Enjoy!!!
