Lyrics by Tapehead
Beat, mixing and mastering by @hightopsfeed

Think it's best to keep it simple here. I've got a crazily addictive personality. As I'm sure you can tell from this track, that gave me mad problems in the past. Luckily I'm over that now, and making music with Hightop is a big part of what helped me to self reflect on the mic, and change how I was living for the better. Now I channel that side of my personality into music, and have been sober for over 4 years. 

This track is basically the 'magnum opus' of me talking about that side of my past on the mic, and was the last track me and Hightop made at university, which was a while ago now. We've always been crazily happy with how it turned out, we were trying to work out ideas in the studio for a track, and as soon as he played this chord progression I got that feeling you get when you hear a crazy sample, and had to start writing straight away. These lyrics were written all in that night and I wrote them fairly quickly. Since that we touched them up a little bit, but the core structure and ideas defo remains the same. 

This is one of the oldest 'complete' track we have, there's loads of newer stuff which we'll be dropping very very soon.

Really hope people enjoy this one, thank you for listening!

it was such a good day when we made this beat, it was the first time i'd seen tapehead in a bit i think and the first time we were in a proper studio, was a really good energy.

Collab with  @hightopbeats  , he drops beats every Monday, very very unique style trust me every week the vibe is completely different, very versatile producer. He also normally plays all his melodies himself which is crazy to me as a sample based producer. For this collab I sent him my flip from the 'Calm Piano' beat off my most recent beat tape, and he then flipped it completely different, chopped up my flip and reversed etc to make it way more chill. He also put this Tribe Called Quest acapella over the beat which I did not expect at all, fits the chill vibe crazy well imo. I think I can say for certain that Tribe are for sure his favourite Hip Hop artist from the 90s, I feel like we'll defo collab on more Tribe remixes in the future. I can never decide if Low End Theory or Midnight Marauders is my favourite album from them, it constantly fluctuates between the two to be honest. All of their albums are full of gems which is crazy, but for me those two have slightly more replay value as full albums. 

We then went back and forth adding drums, working out the arrangement etc, was a dope workflow and will defo be doing this fairly regularly. We've got a lot of collab stuff on the way full stop: Ive got mad lyrics over his beats: once my albums released the next big project will definitely be a full length album where I'm writing over his beats. So excited to share that all I feel like I've been sitting on it way too long.

We did drop a track together last year called New Scapes: https://soundcloud.com/tapeheadloops/new-scapes

Loads more on the way hopefully towards the end of this year. 

Peace, thank you for listening!!
