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

This was a pretty fun beat to remix, loads of acapellas were sounding nice over it so it actually became a bit difficult tryna work out which one would be the best fit. I had T-Max - Relax Your Mind, Masta Ace - Ain't U Da Masta, AZ - Never Change, and this acapella all blended over the beat in separate tracks. I went for this one in the end because the flow from Paula Perry fit the different parts of the beat well - and the overall party vibe of the acapella fit best with the vibe of this beat. There's some rugged parts to the beat too which fit the focus on keeping it real well, but the more carefree sounding chops that I layered fit the laid back feel of this acapella too I thought.

Highly recommend the original track by Paula Perry, one of my favourite singles from the 90s, the beat is crazy fat especially on the bass, produced by Masta Ace too which is crazy cause it's defo one of the most iconic 90s underground beats.

Hope people enjoy this track, peace and thank you always for listening.

This one took ages to mix, lots of layers and so much resonance in the sample and vocal. Really liked this concept though so I persevered with it, hope people like it! I'm defo happy with how this sounds on it's own without any vocals over the top, the vocals in the sample sort of make this into it's own song, and the variation on flips and layers definitely helps, despite making this a tough one to mix, worth it imo.

Peace and thank you for listening!

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!!
