Recorded during a session in @Whokairs? studio in Asheville at the end of a 3 day rhyme fest where C.Shreve lost his voice from rapping too much. "A real MC can move the crowd without a voice" was a line @LongLiveLive said after a whisper cypher verse.

C.Shreve the Professor - I Love H.E.R. (prod. by ΔΣ)

We all family, it's all a Family Tree / I'll meet you up at the top like a canopy / Throw on a random beat and watch my man and me / Link the ground to the sky and that's a Family Tree

Was tired of these old projects taking up space on my memory cards.

00:00 - 01:18 = my404isgritty (hardware used: sp404sx)
01:18 - 03:15 = Summer Breeze (hardware used: sp404sx)
03:15 - 05:00 = 7810Hz (hardware used: mpc 1000)

some old and dusty hardware joints I'm probably never going to finish

Overlooked, underpaid, all i been makin is that lemonade / Set up the stand, set up the merch…
