Dillon x Nikhil Jhitakia - 'A Gentleman's Quandry' - 2007 DEMO Sessions

     This is an old joint I wrote and recorded back in 2006. I had just moved to Atlanta and was grinding - waiting tables at a swank spot called Murphy's in Virginia-Highland. So naturally I started writing an EP called '86 Catch' that was a day in the life of the restaurant biz, juggling personal endeavors, an ex lady whom you love but cant get it together with, and all those youngins that I let waste my time back then....

     All the beats were hooked up by my homie, Nikhil Jhatakia. He was my best friend from college, a younger cat. I introduced him to Paten Locke Nikhil ended up moving to his crib in Duval for a year and studying up. They even did some co-production work together on Mr. Lif's LP, 'I Heard it Today.' The beats I was rocking were from those sessions. 

I've been sitting on this for so long, I guess it may never come out.. so here's an amuse bouche..... 

These are some of the first recordings I ever did myself, my own spot. So they sound like shit. Fucking enjoy it.

     Linking up with Supa Dave West was monumental - we had just met recently and had kicked it a bit- he did some work for me on The Southern Scramble and one day I asked him to sing over this joint - I had writtern & recorded it a year earlier and sang the hook stuff myself - he liked what I wrote so he sang over it and we ended up taking most of my stuff out, leaving in a little salt & pepper. He freestyled the end part and did everything in one take. I was blown away. This would go on to be the first of many song Dave & I co-wrote and recorded together...bless up!
