As I continue to build up my upcoming beat tape, “The Blue Note,” there are a good amount of beats I’ve made that I’ve put in my “Miscellaneous” folder, which I will be posting up here, at least once every two weeks. I made this shit here this morning, finished it in the morning haha, but unfortunately couldn’t finish the trilogy and post it in the morning cuz my Internet was actin’ a fool. Expect to see a lot more on here on a regular basis! One of my Ableton Live beats btw.

I’ve been making a shitload of beats lately, so it’s only right that I post up some along the way. Here’s a recent one that I made, titled “As Long As You’re In Me” (no alternate meaning intended, but laugh if you want lol). Just posting an unmixed/unfinished version up here for y’all to vibe to (the beat kinda just ends right after the hook, no fading out or anything haha fuck it), and I have already given this beat out to an emcee, so please do not e-mail me about this beat! On another note, I will be opening up a beat store within the month, as it just makes sense for me to sell these guys out now. I will be posting a lot more beats once the store opens, so be on the look out for that. A’ight, enjoy, peace!

It’s been almost six months since one of my (our) favorite producers, Nujabes, passed away in an unfortunate car accident. I remember bumping his shit the day I found out he passed with a heartache I’ve never felt towards a musician before, and what was amazing was hundreds of thousands of others felt and shared the same pain. We longed for the work he created in the months before he passed, and now I am pleased to post 2 pieces of his work that are currently being circulated around the Net, the long-awaited “Luv Sic Pt. 4″ with Shing02 and a song with the oh-so-talented multi-instrumentalist, Uyama Hiroto, on “Homeward Journey”. Enjoy.

It’s been a hot minute since I posted up a song recently, so I wanted to come around and give y’all a treat this Sunday morning. This is the song that No Alias and I made for our latest YouTube video, which can be viewed here. We wanted to make this jam a song for all to access, because I truly believe that it’s a song people can just relax to, smoke a bowl to, rhyme over, use on their mixtapes, or whatever. So feel free to listen to it below using the Bandcamp player, and if you like it, download it, share it, and spread it! Props to Nam Bui for the dope-ass song cover artwork, he never fails to impress (he takes extremely wild photographs, visit his page here). Hope y’all enjoy, and remember, only in the darkness can you see the stars.

Yo wassup all, been working on an upcoming single entitled “Disconnect” with the emcee Eez and equally talented vocalist Kimi. When it comes to the studio, there’s always fun involved and people messin’ around haha. Wanted to throw a quick vid of some footage that was taken throughout the process, props to Eez for editing the footage and making this happen.

The 8th commandment of 9th Wonder’s “Ten Track Commandments” (which can be read here) is the following:
“#8: Always make beats with a MC in mind. Ask yourself, “Does this sound like Busta joint or a Nas joint?” That’s the best way to build up your catalogue.”
Commandment #8. This one is for you, Raekwon.
And for you, hip hop, remember, “don’t ever doubt me.”
