The initial thought that came to mind in the process of making “Blackcurrent Jazz 2” was to create a landscape of ideas that capture the truest essence of Jazz but that also embodied the purest and most authentic hip-hop feel. The original Blackcurrent Jazz album (released in 2001) was a great piece of work but for me was more a mesh of beats and breaks and sometimes with tracks that didn’t even lend to Jazz at all. This time around I wanted every single song to scream JAZZ!!! But still using a combination of Jazz breaks that give off varying vibes.

I wanted this album to be more polished, more distinguished and more discernable than 10 years ago. Smoother, more intricate and ultimately more of a thought through process to it. So I set about the production process which I knew would be huge, because I wanted to use additional beats for 20 second interludes to be used in between each main track, which then ultimately doubled my production load. I also knew that the main selections all had to musically jump out at me and I wasn’t going to start writing until I had found all the right beats that made me feel as if I have the right ingredients for a classic album.

And then it started. Hours of sampling, cutting, chopping, filtering, and pitch shifting, mixing and then mixing again. Then came the writing, recording and editing, which for me is a very lengthy and meticulous process. And finally after over 6 months work came “Blackcurrent Jazz 2: The Gold Reflection” subtitled to pay dues and respect to the golden era of hip-hop (the 90’s).

Kero One - What Am I Supposed to Do feat. Suhn (2012)

So, funny story here lol! I messaged @neanderthalofficial if he can sing over the second part to this track. And he was like, "sure man!".  Little did he know that its a Christmas cover, and he wrote and recorded his own version!! He sent me his part and I was like, "damn, this is good, but this ain't the lyrics!!" I thought he wanted to add his own flavor, so I didn't even bother mentioning it to him. Later that week, he messages me saying he was in Starbucks and he heard the song "This Christmas" play! Eventually, he was able to rerecord the actual lyrics and instead of me tossing his original version he wrote, I ended up using it as well!
Morale of the story, ya'll need to go to Starbucks for the holidays!! >.<
