I don't often remix artists from the 2000s, but I'm always open to doing it, and in this case as soon as I heard how the acapella sounded over the beat I knew it was a good fit. Very different to the original too, 50 cent has a great presence vocally and his style blends well with this kind of beat I think. Imo 50 cent is a great artist too, actually the first Hip Hop album I ever bought was 'Get Rich Or Die Tryin'' on CD, album still holds up mad well too. My brothers big on him too, put me onto a lot of his more underground stuff from the 90s, loads of gems in his discography that's for sure.

Hope people enjoy this one, thanks for listening!

Had a bit of trouble at first when I was flipping this sample, wasn't happy with the overall sound. Ended up pitching it down by -2 to give the low end a bit more presence, and added a layer of just bass too to really get it to hit a bit harder. This is one of those ones where I was glad to leave it for a bit and then come back with fresh ears to make those changes. Hope people enjoy the beat! Thank you for listening

I first tried to flip this sample a few months ago when I was working late. I couldn’t get anything to work so I left it, was a bit frustrated at the time but I held onto the sample cause I knew I had to have another go. There was too much potential to give up on it, just needed to have another go with a fresh perspective. 

Very very happy to have gone back to it this week, and was able to work out this flip. I actually flipped the second progression of the beat with the more upbeat feel first, then filtered that to see if I could layer any other chop over to have the filter act as a bassline melody. Always love when that works out, cause the more subtle piano chops worked beautifully ontop of the filtering, really lost my mind when making this one. For me when piano based beats are good they’re hard to beat, just something about that instrument over drums is great to me. The way the filtered melodies blended with the more subtle keys really gave the beat a lot of depth and emotion, and I was then crazy motivated to keep on with adding a bit more layering to give the track more variation.

I always knew I'd be remixing this track with a piano beat, I was never sure what kind would fit best though. The original is very jazzy, and when I made this one with a more mellow vibe I wasn't 100% it would fit, but ultimately it worked, cause the verses are actually delivered in a very mellow laid back way. 

Peace and thank you always for listening. Mad happy with how this one turned out defo proud of it, hope people enjoy it too.

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!!
