Out The Loop

The initial thought that came to mind in the process of making “Blackcurrent Jazz 2” was to create a landscape of ideas that capture the truest essence of Jazz but that also embodied the purest and most authentic hip-hop feel. The original Blackcurrent Jazz album (released in 2001) was a great piece of work but for me was more a mesh of beats and breaks and sometimes with tracks that didn’t even lend to Jazz at all. This time around I wanted every single song to scream JAZZ!!! But still using a combination of Jazz breaks that give off varying vibes.

I wanted this album to be more polished, more distinguished and more discernable than 10 years ago. Smoother, more intricate and ultimately more of a thought through process to it. So I set about the production process which I knew would be huge, because I wanted to use additional beats for 20 second interludes to be used in between each main track, which then ultimately doubled my production load. I also knew that the main selections all had to musically jump out at me and I wasn’t going to start writing until I had found all the right beats that made me feel as if I have the right ingredients for a classic album.

And then it started. Hours of sampling, cutting, chopping, filtering, and pitch shifting, mixing and then mixing again. Then came the writing, recording and editing, which for me is a very lengthy and meticulous process. And finally after over 6 months work came “Blackcurrent Jazz 2: The Gold Reflection” subtitled to pay dues and respect to the golden era of hip-hop (the 90’s).

Aaliyah - Heartbroken (The God Note Remix)

World Taught Me

This one feel like Vince Guaraldi in the wintertime, 
and it's for those who pray for me and whom they align.
Even if you pray to Baal and do what Jezebel does, we don't believe things the same, but know it's all love.
I'm no Judy, Mathis, Harvey,
Deborah is my mom, come spar me.
Feel them lenses on me targeting. 
But, it's all love y'all can come eat with me.
It's all love y'all can come eat with me. 
It's all love y'all can come eat with me.
Play this at my scatterin'
I can hear them chatterin'
it's comin' don't matter when
it's gone hit like genocide
not too many down to ride
pray for more, could change tonight
we all on the same type
i'm not really with the hype cause
I'm no Judy, Mathis, Harvey, 
Deborah is my mom, come spar me. 
Feel them lenses on me targeting but, 
it's all love you can come eat, yeah,
I'm no Judy, Mathis, Harvey,
Deborah is my mom, come spar me. 
Feel them lenses on me targeting, 
but it's all love y'all can come eat with me. 
It's all love y'all can come eat with me.
Sometimes I 
get scared,
everywhere.
My greatest
fear is myself.
Then I hide in plain sight,
hopin' they see me.
Learnin' how to grow, man
it can't always be
easy. 
Round up all the Rahab's, fake (ahh), 
all up in yo face (ahh), misplaced (ahh), 
but, I ain't judgin' no. 
I'm no Judy, Mathis, Harvey.

Invitation (prod. by @remdolla)

The concept of The God Note began over 20 years ago when I had begun compiling the ultimate playlist of songs, mainly within the genres of neo-soul, r&b, jazz, hip-hop, rap, funk & deep house. I dubbed the mix: "The God Note". It was meant to represent songs that were so perfect in their execution, that they were tapping into god's wavelength & producing something exceptional.

In late 2024, The God Note was born proper, now serving as a vehicle to provide original remixes to those very same songs that I once deemed to be 'godly'. The on-going focus is on re-interpreting deep album cuts & some recognisable singles, mainly sticking to the above-mentioned genres of music.

Any donations towards the cause will go straight into operating costs to produce more remixes, at a higher quality, & more often. But most of all, this was done for the love of the music, and to help shine a brighter light onto songs that deserve a resurgence of love in the modern age.
