*UPBEAT* HARD AGGRESSIVE TRAP BANGER 140Bpm | Prod. By LYF3ST1LE

 Ok so, remember my first beat? If not, you can find it here:
https://soundcloud.com/jahbariakua/upbeat-hard-aggressive-trap-banger-prod-by-lyf3st1l-music

Listened to it? Ok good, well I lied. THIS TRASH RIGHT HERE is my first beat. It was gonna be an actual beat, until I woke up one day and realized it was the worst thing ever. However, I did take a lot of elements from this trash and use them in my commercial first beat. I'm almost too embarrassed to call it mine, and almost too embarrassed to upload it. Almost... I knew no such words as MIXING AND MASTERING, so I stopped calling it my first beat and now I refer to it as my draft beat; the beat I used to learn the program I use. Enjoy, no, nevermind, sorry for your pain and suffering (keep volume low because this song knows no such thing as compression and your ears might burst... don't sue me).

Have fun listening, making fun of me, or doing whatever else you may want to do. Oh, and it's wildly incomplete and will never BE complete.

This song is in the public domain. Feel free to use it however you want. Just credit LYF3ST1LE and if they ask, link them to this page.

EDIT: It has been brought to my attention that a lot of people actually like this. Perhaps a remake is in order.. *wink, wink!*

*TRASH* WORST BEAT EVER??? Pathetic Trap 2015 | Prod. By LYF3ST1LE

THANK YOU ALL FOR 1,000 PLAYS!!! It's such an honor! It's been a year and you all have given me my first 1000 plays on one track! 

I opened my music software one day and wanted to make something different than what I usually do. I was like "everyone loves remixes of melodies they love". That was when Ice Cream Truck was born. Enjoy the melody that we all loved as a child that told us we would have our favorite summer treat (unless you hate ice cream...) behind a DOPE. FLIPPING. BEAT. Enjoy. :)

Ice Cream Truck TRAP REMIX | Ice Cream Truck by LYF3ST1LE

This is a chill trap beat I made to test my new mixing skills. It's now a beat I listen to when I'm feeling at peace or doing anything casual. This is a very chill beat. Everything is modest. I hope you enjoy!

*BASS OVERLOAD* FAST TRAP BEAT 190Bpm | Prod. by LYF3ST1LE

This is one of my newer melodic pieces. It holds a special place in my heart. This song is meant to touch a part of you that most people do not like to acknowledge. I hope you enjoy. This was made only a year after Spiritual Battle.

When another track reaches 100 plays, I will release the 4th song.

"A Penny's Light": A SoundTrack-Like Piece by LYF3ST1LE

"Every artist has their humble beginnings."
I am still in them, but listening to this, you'll hear I've grown a lot.

This is my second song, but I call it my first. Similarly, I call that Trash beat my first beat because my real first beat was somehow even more trash! Maybe one day I'll let that one loose... Until then, enjoy listening to a 7th grader's musical interpretation of his feelings in the morning. It's rather sloppy, and even if you think my current stuff is sloppy, this one is sloppier. I bring it to you, however, untouched, and in its raw form from 2012 (I think).

"Morning (Original Mix)" | A melodic piece by LYF3ST1LE

"Every artist has their humble beginnings." I am still in them...

Welcome to the Electronic remix of Morning. I created this in 2013, a year after I created Morning and it is my 3rd song (that I count). It has the same upbeat and joyful feel as Morning, but with a slightly different feel towards the end. Enjoy an 8th grader's musical expression of how he feels waking up in the morning. It's not as "unedited" as the original, because I recently did some crude mixing on it. However, what I could do was limited because I make my melodic pieces on my iPod, and I didn't want to alter the integrity of the song too much. I don't yet have a computer program with nice life-like instruments. I also feel like I need to add that @ 5 mins and 54 secs, this is my longest song.

"Morning (Electronic Remix)" | A Melodic Piece by LYF3ST1LE

This is a beat I made a year ago and had been holding back for some remastering. The mix is way outdated, but I decided it was taking too long, so I'll return to it and instead release the original version for all to enjoy! You can read the full reason as to why it wasn't remaster on my Facebook. 
A lot of people close to me say this is their favorite beat of mine or one of them. It's got a pretty dark vibe, and a hypnotic effect. Really great beat if you've got something powerful to say and need that message to get across...

Oh, and one more thing, I've started adding the Bpm to song titles. I realize some producers have stopped doing it for whatever reason, but I'll do it because I feel like it's important for those of you who rap to know what tempo or bpm you're rapping over. ;)

"ReverseMomentum" *Ɗɑɼᶄ Ѵɩɓƹ* 130Bpm | Prod. by LYF3ST1LE

Yes, my friends, it has been quite awhile (over 3 months to be exact) and I have not uploaded a single thing! Goodness gracious what is wrong with me? I'll tell you. There are three reasons:
1. I had a lot of trouble making this beat. It took a lot of work and I had to gain a lot of skills and knowledge to get past all the creativity blocks that I experience in producing this.
2. I got too caught up in video games for awhile! Fear not, however, I have limited my time to 2 hours a day on week days so I can be more productive.
3. The speakers I used to mix all of the other beats on my channel broke! I had to buy new ones and get used to the frequency tunes so I can be as effective and accurate as I can once again.

Despite all of that, it's here, and I'm quite proud of it. So what is this beat? This is a beat with a "feel-good" vibe featuring many, MANY layers of melodies and instruments, and even my first custom-engineered sound. As always, I changed it up at the end because I still dislike excess repetition in music. Just wanted to throw that out there 'cause I know many people only listen to about the first minute of a beat. Anyway, sorry for the wait, and I hope this makes up for it! Don't forget to leave feedback if you've got anything on your mind.

"INSPIR3" *FEEL-GOOD MUSIC* | Melodic Trap Instrumental by LYF3ST1LE

Ladies and Gentlemen, this is, by far, the track I have made in the shortest amount of time! *trigger sitcom clapping and whistling track*

Thank you, thank you! Anyway...

This is a modern-style, upbeat jam that I played at a studio a few times. People were humming it for the rest of the day and beyond, so I decided to copyright it and upload it for you all to enjoy. It is also part of an experiment. I made a second track before this with a melody that is almost exactly the same, and I want to see which one you all like more... Let me know what you think!

"Flux" *INSANE PERCUSSION* Hard Trap Beat w/BOOMING 808's

This track is an experiment! I wanted to see what it would be like to make a trap beat with no bass. I wanted to see if I could still make it dope. The outro is kind of long and is there for filler, but I just wanted to see what you all would think of this idea. It also has the same melody as another track I'll be releasing, so look out for that one...

It is intended to be for the purpose of freestyle or rap battles, so if you would like an extended version, let me know and I'll make it. Enjoy!

"Murk" *AMBIENT* FREESTYLE/RAP BATTLE INSTRUMENTAL by LYF3ST1LE

Yeesh my phone's mic acted like I hit it at the end. 

Anyway, thanks for almost 3000 plays. I didn't think I'd get that as soon as I have. I can't believe that Ice Cream Truck trap song I made last year almost has 1000 on its own!

However, I watch the numbers climb, I realized that I may have 2,500+ plays, but my music doesn't reflect that. It became harder and harder for me to make new beats, and they felt more and more forced and started sounding worse as a result. So, I'm taking time away to perfect my craft so I can come back better than ever, and hopefully with a few treats, some of which you may take home with you. Peace!

I'm Going Inactive For Awhile... Here's Why.

I'm 18 years old, and I produce music. I keep my genre preference open when it comes to production. I plan to explore a wide range of different styles and genres.
I am an up and comin' producer with a powerful message seeking to close the gap between the music in my mind, and the music I release. I also plan to bridge the gap between what I want to do with my music, and what I can afford, haha! I will stay consistent in pushing out new tracks, although it may take awhile to compose it, mix it, and master it with my current level of experience, so don't think I gave up, just be patient. :)


In case you're interested, you can find a list of my production equipment here:  http://pastebin.com/nt6gGMfT

An Overview of My Goal For This Music Thing:
My end-game is to bring the AWE (Authenticity, Wisdom, and Emotion) back to the music industry, and to control an organization of a wide range of artists and personalities with the same intent. I guess you could say it's my job to make AWEsome music. It is my goal to produce music of unrivaled quality, taking no shortcuts in production. It is my pledge to you, a fellow lover of music, that I will harness the power I've been given (to manipulate sound), and create a unique audio experience every time you decide to have a listen.

I'm always looking to work with other artists, so if you're interested, let me know @ jahbarij@bellsouth.net

All uploads are in high-quality .wav or .aiff files, but Soundcloud's audio encoding is poor and reduces the quality of the song after the upload. If you want HQ sound files, I'll be selling them soon, as well as letting a few loose as free promotional downloads.

NOTICE: I own none of the rights to ANY thumbnail photos posted on the tracks in my account unless specified in the description of the track in question. If you are the legal owner of the rights for any of the photos displayed on one of my tracks and you have a problem with my use of it, email me and it will be removed when I see the email. As an artist myself, I respect every artist's rights to the supreme ownership of his/her work. Thank you.

Thanks for coming to visit my channel, and I hope you enjoy your stay. :)
