Mel-Low | Servin' Em (1993)

And here it is, my newest project completely produced on a PO-33! First off, a huge shoutout to my friend Dale for randomly gifting me this awesome little sampler. At first I kind of dismissed it as a toy and put it aside, but it wasn’t long before my curiosity got me really messing with it and realizing how cool of a little machine it is. Second, huge shoutouts to @beatmakersboutique and Ollie for the awesome MPC inspired case they made for this thing. These POs are pretty fragile, and their cases make em super durable so I can just toss them in my bag. So I brought it on tour and every morning )when I wasn’t too hungover 😅) I would get out at the truck stop, grab a coffee, and sit in the front of the bus and start sampling YouTube vids from my phone into the PO-33, and proceeded to make beats in some old Apple earbuds. After I got the ideas down and sequenced, I’d play it on the bus speakers for the guys real quick then record the beat into an irig right back into my iPhone using GarageBand. Then we would get to the venue, do the show, and I would repeat the process. I ended up making 14 beats on that tour and when I got back, started reaching out to some homies to drop verses on em. So big shoutouts to all the MCs who took these beats to the next level! Also, thank you to my friend Ruben for the incredible artwork! I hope you guys enjoy this newest offering from me and the homies! -Hoppa #brokencomplex

On February 10th, 2006, the world of Hip Hop lost J Dilla aka Jay Dee.
James ‘J Dilla’ Yancey leaves behind an impression on Hip Hop that will last the test of time. A bridge between Hip Hop’s underground and mainstream, Dilla’s contributions ranged from single- handedly defining Detroit Hip Hop as a founding member of Slum Village to providing his production talents to Common, D’Angelo, Busta Rhymes, Erykah Badu, A Tribe Called Quest, The Pharcyde, The Roots, Janet Jackson and Macy Gray.

The Shining marked the reunion of J Dilla & BBE, who had released Welcome 2 Detroit, J Dilla’s debut album. The Shining serves as a showcase of J Dilla’s talents which features him not only as a producer, but also as a rapper, singer and musician. Featured guests on this album include Busta Rhymes, Common, Pharoahe Monch, D’Angelo, Madlib, Black Thought, Medaphor aka MED, and Guilty Simpson.

Produced by Willie Evans Jr.

I made this song about 6 years ago.  One of many I've made during this long hiatus from officially releasing any of my own projects.  For a while, I was using this as the opening song on my live set.  It definitely got rocked on "The Deadliest Catch" tour which was headlined by Chali 2na but had myself, Willie Evans Jr., and Gift of Gab as support.  
Lately, I've made a decision to break my silence.  Very sick of not putting music out.  Feel free to share your thoughts.
