my flame

tis 2023 ik moet dringend nog is drinke
fuck goeie voornemens, der ganek ni op klinke 
mij maakte niks wijs vriend, ik zen bij de pinke
en gij ligt elken dag tot s'middags in u bed te stinke 

what you see is what you get, het is Masec,ik ben een sinner, 
let op wa da ge zegt!geen grote bek, kom mij ni disse!
ni gaan snuiven opt toilet, scheer u weg, want ik moet pisse
ik maak enkel nog maar tracks, voor degene die het diggen

wa een ander der van denkt, der ganek ni van wakker ligge
over skills valt ni te twisten, en smaken die verschillen!
Maar 1 ding weet ik zeker, als ik rap ist om te killen
Dus ik zeg wat dat ik denk,en niet wat dat de mensen willen!

zet ze telkens op hun plek, strak van de pep, check men pupillen
kgeef u geen warm gevoel, men doel is da de mensen rillen!
Ben gestopt me fire spitte, maak u koud zoals een blizzard
Geef niks om u emoties, bloed is koud zoals een lizard

Kijk me te lang aan ,en ik zal vragen van wadisser?!
Want kheb niks me u te maken, vraag maar aan men middelvinger
Ben een OG, met grijze baard zoals een wizard
En al men tekstenboeken staan vol magische geschriften

Als ik schrijf ben ik benieuwd, wa da men barz nog aan gaan richten
Want als ik aan het woord ben zie ik panische gezichten!
Ben die hard in graffiti , khaat legale straatartiesten
Men eerste naam was Chaos, zelfs Satan aanbid me

Tot vanalles in staat, ben ni normaal wanneer ik pist ben
status,Fuck the system want het werkt op men systeem
Prodigy ,mobs deep , survival of the fittest!
pak alles wat ik nodig heb, ni meer maar ook ni minder

Wie kunde nog vertrouwen als u maten mekaar rippe?
Of u erbij lappen ,door te praten me de flikken?
ondertusse zoude moete weten da karma een bitch is
ooit komt er een dag dat ik men wraak neem op die snitches
kan bouwen op men vrouw maar ik hou ni zo van bitches
 die u vroeg of laat verlaten om te slapen me u vriende
en ook nog 't gevoel geve daget allemaal verdiende
been there done that! kwil alleen nog echte liefde

kwou ook nog ff zegge, dak da cypheren gemist heb
vooral het connecteren me wa andere artiesten
het unity gevoel drops checken, en de feedback
feedback, feedback

Ever since I made the remix of ‘Back Down’ at the start of the year I was thinking about doing more 50 cent remixes, was mad happy with how that one turned out especially the way his semi singing style of emceeing worked with the melodies from soul samples. Since then I kept finding myself trying out his acapellas over new beats I was making, and kept on finding they fit mad well, so I started saving them and decided to focus on making a remix album. 

Very excited to release it next week, wanted to get it out in time for my brothers birthday on the 17th of April - he's a big fan of 50 cent and really put me onto a lot of the songs I decided to remix here, especially this one. I can't lie I never really thought about remixing 50 cent much before my brother started putting me onto his best tracks, and I defo owe him for that cause 50's style of rapping/singing fits so well with soul samples. 

Ghetto Qu'ran might be one of my favourite tracks by 50 so wanted to do my best with the beat for this remix. The original has a nice feel good vibe so I went for a more deep reflective sort of sound, sampling the film King Kong from 2005 which has the craziest soundtrack. I think it fits the way the track reminisces on the past pretty well. 

I'll be scheduling all the beats from the album on streaming in the next few days, and I'll try and get the YouTube premiere link for the album live at least one day before it releases. Got a lot of mixing to do this week, fully can't wait to share the beats and remixes with everyone, took my time and was a lot more selective with the tracks and I think it paid off. Really looking forward to hearing what people think of the album. 

Until then I hope people enjoy this remix, lots more on the way next week - Peace and thank you for listening!!

Forgive Me

Had a bit of trouble mixing this one, especially the Nas acapella. Wanted the beat to have some weight to it so I ended up layering the sample quite a lot, but then had to layer the acapella too so it didn't get lost under the beat. Hopefully the final outcome sounds OK, I definitely like the feel of the beat, got a laid back jazzy kind of feel whilst still fitting the rugged East Coast vibe. I initially couldn't chose between blending the Nas acapella or the Just Step Prelude over this beat, so I decided to have them both. Thought it actually worked in a way because Nas is describing someone having to face trial etc, and that's the whole focus of the Big Noyd verse too, so it's almost like the second verse is coming from the perspective of the guy Nas is talking bout in the first verse. Not 100% but the link is kind of there.

Peace and thank you for listening!
