P2GOLDMA$K - Never Been (Prod. OG ABI)

A beat suit by producer Chants (@chantssound)

Note from Chants:

"This piece was originally commissioned by Ben (aka @neonpajamas) in March '15, after hearing my production on 'Doomsday' by @websterx. The concept was to create a long thing with multiple rappers and singers coming in and out. Using some of the textures and rhythmic ideas on 'Doomsday' as a starting point, I made roughly half of the piece, but for one reason or another the vocal collaborations never came together (except for @yeahokblake, whose verse is coming separately).

Although collaboration has often been a big part of my own releases, producing for vocalists has been the exception rather than the rule. However, from early 2013 to early 2016 I was inspired by the opportunity to work with a handful of rappers, first milo and then WebsterX. The rest of the music here is made up of beats I originally made for them (personally I'm not motivated to make a beat for its own sake, there has to be a specific project, concept, or person in mind). 

This period dovetailed with my increasing fascination with faster tempos, physicality, and exploring how music can function in a club context. That's the direction I've followed since (documented on my past and future releases on Astral Plane Recordings). Though I'm not currently interested in revisiting the approach documented here, I'm glad to present this as a snapshot."
