Hive

Hive (feat. Vince Staples and Casey Veggies)

This is a custom track I made for a friend of a friend, for her birthday. The song's elusive lyrics are all of personal meaning to Beth, the birthday girl. The reggae theme was thematic to her enjoyment of the sweet leaf. This is an example of a personalized song I can make for you, or your loved one, in thanks for helping out with Keak's medical bills!

YG - I Wanna Benz ft. Nipsey Hussle & 50 Cent


I'm flying to you 
I'm drivin away from you
We drinkin till 2 
I'm fallin on you 

I do not got braids and i do not got hoes
Hold onto you like i do not got clothes
Tell me hello and you'll give me a watch
New year is here and it comes with your touch

Flyin to you cuz i cannot say no
Cryin for you like a bird in the snow
You got me so hot but the winter is cold
Dancing for you like a girl in a show

I'm flying to you 
I'm drivin away from you
We drinkin till 2 
I'm fallin oooh

3-2 the 3
And the 5 to 1-0 
Taking it fast but we're moving so slow
Swimming upstream but you already know

You got me me so high when i'm feelin so low
I don't know why but already know
I want to scream when you kiss me below 

Blind to dark and we're lost in the snow
I don't know why but you already know 
I'm flying to you cuz i cannot say no

I'm flying to you 
I'm drivin away from you
We drinkin till 2 
I'm fallin for you

Take off my bra
Take off my pants 
Spin me around 
Like an old fashioned dance
Don't need no money except that we do 

Kiss me for hours 
The way that you do
Dancin for me and I'm dancing for you
Don't need nobody except me and you

Dyin for you/ Cryin its true

I'm flying to you 
I'm drivin away from you
We drinkin till 2 
I'm fallin oooh 

FLYIN

This is a little piece intended for "The Letter EP" that never made the final cut. . . Enjoy

Olympia Prod. by Leestrums(UNRELEASED)

This is my 1st EP of ambient music.

In music school in the mid 90’s a typical day could be practicing 6 to 8 hours, 2 to 3 ensemble classes, and a composition and theory class. Music, music, music. But then there was a time in almost every day where one had to hit the books, and it was during these times that I craved some music that was interesting, provided depth of composition, yet not written in such a way as to pull your mind and attention away from studying. This being the day and age before all of the modern music streaming options, it was considerably more difficult to discover music like this. However, I found the perfect record for this my sophomore year. Bill Frisell’s debut record on ECM called ‘In Line.’ 

That record was the genesis for this EP. I wished to explore creating moods through the use of harmonic ambivalence, and a lack of specific melodic statements. Although ‘In Line’ by Frisell has definitive melodic statements and song form, I did not want you to walk away humming my melody. I would hope that you could sing your own in the spaces I left in this collection.

The creation of these songs was really a process of subtraction. Anyone who has a computer and a basic music composition program (DAW) knows that the amount of sounds offered from the multitude of software synths, samplers, loop programs, and of course your own physical collection of instruments can be paralyzing. It reminds me of an article I read in the NY Times many years ago with the headline “The Paralyzing Problems of Too Many Choices”, and this same theme was in a book I read recently on the grocery store business. When you need some hot sauce, you are now confronted with over 40 different choices, it becomes the tyranny of choice. 

I have started and left unfinished hundreds of compositions in the last 15 years, and the reason why was the tyranny of choice. I would get a great idea down, then spend the next 3 hours testing different synth patches that would work, then when a patch was found, I would spend more time messing with different EQ’s then compressors, then reverbs, then delay’s, and hey why not send this through an amp simulator, use a mic simulator and throw a ribbon mic off-axis and then throw it through a leslie speaker emulator…5 hours later I am burnt out go to bed and never return to the composition.  

For this project I limited myself to a ‘relatively’ small set of sounds, used 1 reverb, and stayed away from using EQ or compression for 95% of the tracks. I did not use a click track, I played the rhodes and piano parts live, did very small editing to the original performance, and only looped one part in ‘Kite’, the rhodes part, but I wanted this to be all live performance, nothing quantized to-the-grid to capture the imperfections in my playing, and to release me from the tyranny of choices.
