your whole soundcloud slaps dude. big respect

Take a trip back to the early 90s… the internet wasn’t a thing, CDs were relatively new and hip hop was rugged and raw. Dedicated to the sound of hip hop during this time, Rugged Fidelity is a throwback album using the legendary Emu SP1200 and crates upon crates of vinyl records. The result is a nostalgic blend of boombap beats that capture the gritty vibe of an era that is long gone, but not forgotten…

To me this sample sounds empty and hollow, and I've always remembered the beat for how echoey it sounds. It's definitely got a bleak vibe, I actually wrote some lyrics to this back when I made it but I ended up putting them over something else. This is definitely the kind of beat that gets me thinking though, I do like making beats like this I think they're great to write to. When the beat's stripped back and almost empty, it kind of makes writing easier cause there's a huge space to fill if that makes sense.
