Hardliner- The East South West And The North

One for driving to, or if you are trying not to think about something...

Sun Also Rises

Sorry uploaded wrong mix yesterday.

One verse is from the point of view of the Giant, and the other one is from the point of view of Jack. It's about corporations or something

Hardliner 4 Position (2012)

RIP Brenda Wooton I sampled her track Lyonesse for this beat. My coworker Sachiko Nishijima happens to have a degree in music playing the fiddle from an Irish uni and I got her to play on this.

A lot of hiphop is about saying where you come from and telling people about it. 

I grew up in Cornwall and I did a lot of hiphop there with good people.
I realised that I had never done a beat about the place. 
If you grow up in Cornwall there isn't much to tell you that you are growing up in a special part of the world. You take it all for granted;

Now I live 6000 km away, I miss it from time to time. With this beat I was trying to get the magic that you feel when you are there. Sometimes.

I am not ethnically Cornish but I grew up there and I say I am from there when people ask.

I am putting together a youtube channel where I will put a video up that explains all the references I put in here. I just moved house and I haven't had time to make beats etc.

Hardliner vs. Skab-T World Stuck In Stalemate (2018)

I wanted to use this as a loop since I was a kid listening to "Love Over Gold". The sample just dropped into my head when I came home on Monday night. I has been writing the lyric for something else but I messed it about a bit. My mother actually spent ages protesting to save dugongs but they are practically the same and manatees scans better. Plus, there's that idea that manatees are mermaids. I am going to develop this a bit.

KX HARDLINER Monday 9/10 FREESTYLE The Manatees

A lot of faffing around upgrading to Live 10. Here's a beat I made really to see whether my CPU is fast enough.

When You Strike At Me I Become Like Liquid

Just getting used to a new system is hard
