This beat has a really motivating vibe to me, I really rate making tracks that give off that feel cause it's one of my absolute favourite things about Hip Hop, the raw energy of the music can be so so motivating in mad different ways. I was really tryna demonstrate that when I put Med's verse from Raid over this beat, and I kept the name for this instrumental cause I thought it fit that vibe well, of just being focused on doing what matters to you, and getting what's yours: by putting the work in whatever you do there's no doubt that you'll achieve something worthwhile.

Peace!

I flipped this sample back in October 2017, and have already reworked the beat in 2020, but I decided to rework it again this year.

The whole vibe of this beat is really dark, reflecting the situation I was in at the time I made it. I had just started my 2nd year at university, and was badly trapped in the lifestyle of smoking weed. I was smoking far too often to escape an unhappy reality which I myself had created through all the bad decisions and destructive life choices I made throughout my 1st year. I can’t remember much about making this beat at all, except I made it late at night, sampling the Fantastic Planet soundtrack, which I knew had been used by Madlib and Rascalz to make beats. I layered two parts of the sample to give it a gritty textured feel, originally flipping the sample at a way faster tempo (around 114BPM). However, I chose to slow it down to 95BPM for a much darker vibe, which I was feeling a lot more at the time, as it fit the general melody I created out of the sample much better.

To me, this beat sounds like I’m expressing feelings of sinking further and further without any hope. Thinking on my situation at the time only strengthens this idea to me, I was starting another year in the same negative environment that I had grown to hate during first year, so the crushing weight of a seemingly inevitable and inescapable year of unhappiness and regret is shown in the overall sound and vibe of this beat. Luckily I fixed up quickly during that year, and honestly without making beats like this which made me really think on those emotions, I'm not sure I would have been as motivated to change as I was.

Peace and thank you for listening!
