This is a rework of a really old beat, and one of the first samples I ever flipped on the MPC. I had to do a lot of work to sort out the mix on this sample, I was getting waved all the time when I flipped it, and was very inexperienced on the MPC, so I recorded it way too loud and there’s a ton of clipping to the bass sample because of that. I tried to fix it by having two tracks for the sample, one with all the highs filtered out which got rid of the clipping easy, and then one with no lows and a lot of EQ on the highs to try and get rid of the clipping. I think it came out pretty nice, and for sure way way better than the original mix, which is stupid rough cause of how waved and inexperienced I was back then. It’s always nice to improve on these early beats, really shows me that I have learnt a lot over these years of producing, and hopefully in a few more years I’ll feel the same looking back on these mixes.

I remember when I made this beat I was stuck for ages trying to flip the sample, I just couldn't get anything I liked out of it. What normally happens in these situations is I have to get creative and 're-do' the chops by chopping up what I'd already chopped up to flip, to try and flip it again essentially. The normally leads to more 'choppy' sounding beats, and that's definitely the case here. I do like the vibe of this one though, the vocal has a nice sound to it and the bass/keys are strong cause I pitched them down so the sound would last long enough to fill up the length of the loop. I always thought that frustration showed in the vibe and attitude of this beat, which is why I remixed 'Fakin' Jax' over it. 

Peace!

I’ve wanted to revisit this idea for a while now, but always felt like the first beat wasn’t enough on it’s own for a full song, so every now and then I’ve been experimenting with other beats that would blend well with this one. I wanted to keep the first beat as it was, with less emotion and more of a straight up Hip Hop vibe. For the switchup I thought it would make sense to go for a strong contrast and have a piano beat with more emotion in the sample. I was mad happy with how these two blended together at the end of the track too as an outro, it’s just dope when things come together like that. 

Peace!
