I remember making this beat and it got really late cause I got mad immersed in what I was doing, and I spent ages getting the first flip down and how I wanted it. Then at like 2am I decided to try and flip another part of the sample cause I felt like I hadn’t done everything I could with the first, and when I came up with the 2nd flip I lost my mind on a different level, but had to keep it low key cause everyone else in the house was sleeping. I just mixed it there and then, went to sleep and first thing the next day revisited what I had to see what acapellas would work over it.

At the start of 2021 I began working on a beat tape and was seeing which of my beats mixed well together, and one of my favourites was the one I used here, which I bring in at 2:44. It’s rare that beats from different samples will mix together that well, the melodies must be in the same key etc, but I knew I had to incorporate that blend into this. I always liked that beat on it’s own too, so I’ll probably re-do that at some point in the future, here’s the original upload of that beat with a Raekwon acapella over it: https://soundcloud.com/tapeheadloops/street-astrologists
