Womp In My Spirit

Track three added to the iMAKE GOLD compliation album! ✨️

This joint started in 2021. I first heard C-Red rhyme from #WhiteCoatWednesdays on her IG. Every other day I tuned in to hear her rhyme - pen game, delivery, spirit, voice - Dope! One day I showed her some love on a post and she hit me back like "we should work!" YES! I knew we could make something cold. A little after I connected with C-Red, I was watching this documentary about the history of Sugarcane and the transatlantic slave trade. The seriousness of the documentary, inspired the feel of the beat when I was creating. Raw, serious, and it also reminded me of some ol' mid- 90s Kool G Rap sound. I could hear C-Red's voice and flow complimenting the beat, so I sent the idea to her. YO! When I first heard what she sent back, I played it like 10 times back to back.

Much love to everyone rocking with the tracks so far!
I’ll be dropping new music track by track as this journey unfolds.

iMAKE GOLD!

Sugarcane ft. C-RED

Track 5 off my project iMAKE GOLD!

I met SHAD at DJ Jazzy Jeff’s Playlist Retreat (real dope guy!). I was familiar with his music before and loved how he rhymed. SHAD is always posting freestyles on Instagram of him just rhyming over instrumentals. There was this one verse he wrote over Kardinal Offishall's "Ol' Killin Time" beat that inspired me. While listening to SHAD's effortless flow and how he described and displayed dope emceeing simultaneously, I heard the whole beat in my head immediately. I started building the drums first, then listened to his vocals over just the drum track. Chopped up a sample then sent him a demo. SHAD loved it and wanted to recut his vocals to the beat. The track that you hear now became the first joint we ever made together —which led to me producing SHAD's "REEL SPEAKERS EP".
(Please check that out too if you haven't 🔊)

First word he recorded over my beat?
“Classic.”
Shout out to the brother SHAD! 🙏

Wake up, iMAKE GOLD!

Thank you for tuning in and rocking with the tracks so far!

Track #8 off my continuous compilation album, iMAKE GOLD!


July 2024, last year,
We lost Sonya Massey to the hands of the police.
Amidst processing her tragic killing, I was building with my brother Tall Black Guy about expressing ourselves more in the moment as artists and challenging ourselves. TBG challenged me to make a beat using 3 James Brown records because I never sampled him before. It was mostly because I heard soo many classic Hiphop and R&B records that flipped James Brown since the 80s.


✂️ Challenge accepted.

My aim was to chop those records to fit how I was feeling about Sonya Massey's story in that moment. TBG put me up on Jermaine Holmes after sharing some work he did with him. I wasn't familiar with Jermaine's work at the time, but I knew he had an ill voice and that he sang background for D'Angelo on the Black Messiah tour. Days after I made this beat, Jermaine posted he was open to do features on his IG. I sent this beat to him, without even mentioning what inspired it.

KT : "Man I think you could do something powerful to this joint. Something the people really need to hear in these crazy days."
This record was Jermaine's response.
