Both these piano melodies are flipped from the same sample. The first one is only 2 bars long: it's pretty rare that a beat is that short but when it is it's always got a super infectious vibe, cause it's gotta be crazy if it's getting looped that often. I wanted to layer that with the longer 4 bar loop to give the beat more depth, which actually ended up being really long to do, a lot of the frequencies and notes were clashing with each other, so I had to do a lot of EQing and filtering to get them to sit together.

Overall these beats both feel like ‘freestyle’ beats to me, by that I mean they’re beats which aren’t too focused on one specific emotion, and are more just about capturing that East Coast Hip Hop vibe. I remember when I flipped them I was bugging out just freestyling over them for ages, any piano beat with a hardcore edge will get me going for sure. To anyone who freestyles I hope these beats inspire some flows and ideas off the top: Peace!

This beat is a rework of a very old beat, and was actually a throwaway when I first made it: I never remixed anything over it and just uploaded it with some vocals from ‘The Wire’ layered over it at points. I was gassed when I worked out the Redman remix using this, and it makes sense cause thinking back on it, I actually sampled the same Bob James song which is used on the beat for Redman’s song ‘Can’t Wait’, so it fit his style well. I also knew I had to switch it up and lower the pitch to really bring out the low end for this one, cause it wouldn’t be a hardcore hip hop vibe without that, and I’m really glad I did it for this one. I wanted the drums and bass to come in super hard for the switch up, so I did a lot of layering to make sure that would be possible.

Hopefully people like this one, Peace!
