So over this past holiday break I've basically become a nocturnal machine. I've working on and churning out at least one joint every two nights... I figured I'd post up some of the products...
Peppermint:
This joint was made on Saturday night/Sunday morning. I came back pretty intoxicated that night, but figured I'd still try and put myself to some good use, and this is what I came up with. I remember when I was done at like 4am I thought it was so dope so I sent it to my boy Max to check out and I called him and left some incoherent drunk dial about the track, I'm sure he appreciated it. The next morning when I listened to what was soberly entitled "sssssommmmshitt", I realized there was still something there, but had to remove the god-awful 5 minute long synth solo I did... Later I changed the name to "peppermint", as an ode to the beverage of choice that night.
Esplanade (Capelinha E Lembranças):
This joint was conceived in September of this year, but like so many, was tucked away until I took another shot at it the other night. Back in September, I had been checking out a lot of Brazilian composers, specifically Hermeto Pascoal, and I came across his "Capelinha E Lembranças". I dug the horn line a lot and so i imported it and chopped it up. His piece is in 7/4, so after making some little adjustments so that I could bang the shit, I turned it into the brazilian-influenced hip-hop track that it is today. As always, I can't resist those synth interludes/solos, but unlike before I figured I'd actually keep this one in... this time.
There's a lot more tracks like these on my computer; samples that need to be worked out, joints that need to be mixed, and some that need to be arranged, but I'll start to post them as I finish them...
