I remixed the ENTIRE ALBUM: 'The Heist', by Macklemore and Ryan Lewis. Each track was remixed live.  Most of the tracks are the first and only take. This remix was done in a new genre that I created called 'Slayed and Tekked'. Slayed and Tekked is derived from the Chopped and Screwed genre. 
   
The Heist is the debut studio album by American hip hop duo Macklemore & Ryan Lewis. Independently produced, recorded and released by the duo, the album reached number 1 on iTunes within hours of being released on October 9, 2012 with no mainstream promotion or support. 

Chopped and screwed (sometimes called screwed and chopped or slowed and throwed) refers to a technique of remixing hip hop music which developed in the Houston hip hop scene in the 1990s. Today it is still common to see screwed and chopped versions of mixtapes and albums released alongside the regular speed versions, sometimes in a double disc format with one disc screwed and the other regular speed.

heist (hīst), informal, 
noun 1. a robbery. "a diamond heist" ;  
verb 1. steal. "he heisted a Pontiac".

This lengthy release represents one small aspect of my music playing and music production.  I hope to continue the Slayed and Tekked series, incorporating other genres besides hip-hop to Slay and Tek.  I’m also posting a link to the individual tracks in both MP3 and FLAC format, as well as the ‘FULL ALBUM’ in one file. The full length file can also be download directly from the Soundcloud page.

Acoustic guitar meditation based on a riff I would play anytime I picked up my friend Michael's guitar, or maybe any guitar, that's what Michael said. So this is Michael's song. I think of him when I play the main riff, and like to play it at quiet moments, or when I'm in the meditative state. I think back on our shared history and smile.

It is  2120, 102 years from now, a space traveler awakens in orbit around a planet following a long journey.  It is a cold and barren land, called Earth, and little is known about this place the traveler once called home, except for what can be found in a few old books left behind. The traveler doesn't know the language in the books as it is now long forgotten. Destruction was,  to put it mildly, total.  

What is left only resides in the mind of the traveler. Forever.

and the traveler sings:

I live in a heavily gated fortress. 
In the fortress are my things.
I live in a dystopian future
you only read about in books 
or see in movies.  
It wasn’t always this way. 
There was a time of prosperity,
at least it was written about 
in the remnants of texts 
taken years to decode 
since there were no more
schools making ignorance
the accepted norm. 
Oral stories 
passed down
from generation to generation 
suddenly challenged. 
Suspicion, superstition 
bred defensiveness and 
sideways glances from 
neighbors even relatives. 
The texts decoding 
did little to make 
this any better.
No, it only made it worse.
