They decided that this Class beat from their FL Studio beatmaking sessions was a definite Halloween beat, so I told them to write a scene in a horror movie!

Trick or Treat! - Jastacia, Vashala, Emmanuel, Nicholas

Recorded at N4N HFCA.

Produced by: Block 1 Student Producers

Written and performed by Keioness and Devan.

KeKe told me she had a thanksgiving song for the Holiday Project. I said, "Yeah?". She smiled and told me she had it written already and just needed a beat. So we sat down and listened to the 35 Class Beats made by her peers. after listening to all 35, we came allll the way back to the first beat, Block 1 Beat 1. She and Devan came in aftershool to work on their song and make sure it was completed in time! We are grateful for and proud of their hard work and drive!

Story: We voted on who wanted to write to this Class Beat and we had a lot of people raise their hands. Then we Discussed the concept of a potential song. We started at relationships, and i reminded them to get a little more specific. Then someone mentioned people playing games in a relationship setting or when you're getting to know someone. Gave us a great opportunity for a fun and interesting class discussion!

Written and produced by Derriona.

Veah(Derriona) asked to get on the class Mac and made a beat. Before i knew it, she had a finished composition.The calm energy of the beat compliments the outspoken and unapologetic energy of the song lyrics & delivery so well.

My Name Veah - Veah

Written by Mr. Derrick.
Produced by Jayden, Xaire, Zaria, Mr Derrick.

Block 5 made the class beat together as a group and all agreed that we should write about manifesting our success. Harmonee and Zaria were supposed to be on the song with Xaire, but they both changed their minds. This leaves Xaire with a solo song as her first recording in the N4N studio at HFCA! Mr Derrick chose not to give her any advice about rapping the verse or how to flow it. Xaire did a great job and her energy and personality shine throughout the performance. We love this one! 

"Yeah right yeah right, we need big $$ in our lives!"

Manifesting Success - Xaire

Recorded at N4N Milwaukee HFCA HS.

Written by Rena.
Produced by Eddie, Rena, Nate, Mr. Derrick.

Block 3 made a beat and Rena, one of our best songwriters, wanted to write an entire song about playing basketball for the boys to rap. She did and then recruited 3 of her male  classmates to rap the song about basketball. She did a great job, and the vocalists also delivered!
