Diamond District - "Ain't Over (Black Milk Remix)"

"Blood Drive" was originally going to feature Slug and MF Doom, but for some reason it just didn't work out with Doom.  When Slug sent me this demo, he attached the following instructions for Doom:


"MAP for DOOM
ROGERIO (blood drive)

8 bar intro - DOOM DIALOGUE?
20 bar verse - SLUG
4 bar solo chorus - SLUG
4 bar flute bridge - NO VOCALS
20 bar verse - DOOM 
4 bar solo chorus - DOOM
4 bar flute bridge - NO VOCALS
8 bar outro. - SLUG DIALOGUE?

tell DOOM don't do stacks on his 20 bar verse.  keep verse one-tracked.

tell him i stacked 3 vocal tracks for the chorus, and explain the layout of the choruses.
have him follow my structure for the chorus, but use his own words.
tell him to put his "stand-ups" on separate 4th vocal track so we can fly his voice onto my chorus and vice versa (I'll say the "stand-ups" in his chorus, he'll say them in mine)."



I love this beat, and I think Slug really killed on here, but when I listen to the album this song sounds unfinished to me.  I almost didn't include it, but Slug really wanted this verse to balance out the "frat rap" quality of "Gittit".

From the new mixtape, songs in the key of Price, coming soon!

S.E.A.N

With his third full length solo album a month away, Skyzoo preps his lyric lovers fan base with the buzz single "Suicide Doors". The song, produced by DC's own MarcNfinit, is a 4 plus minute barrage of double entendres. Overflowing with Skyzoo's signature 'frisbees', the track leaves listeners with lines on top of lines to decipher. 

"I wanted this record to really remind people of what I do as far as entendres go. The double and even triple meanings, the layering, the stacking, I wanted that be the foundation for this song. Being that the album itself is based on storytelling more so than anything else, I wanted to have at least one record where I just let it all fly. The funny thing about it though, is that even with all of the lines coming 100 miles a minute, the album's storyline is still woven within the hook and as well as certain moments of the song".

"Suicide Doors" is available now for direct download when pre-ordering "Music For My Friends" on itunes at http://smarturl.it/MFMF
