Influences
M.D., B.I.G., Ray Luv. mostly bay but really just tryin to absorb any light that shines my way no matter where it comes from.
and of course the folks, Bam Bam, Baby Avvy and Navvy J, no doubt.
Been rappin for a year, 19 years old from Bolinas California a.k.a. that little Edge City. Favorite M.C.s are Biggie and Mac Dre, may they rest in paradise. I love art whether its audio or visual or both and I've found my love for hip hop really growin in this past year, since I've actually been creating it. My beats have gotten much doper in the past month so I'll put up new tracks pretty regularly in the near future. Any feedback is appreciated.
Big up Dusty Vinyl Productions, Blue Bus Productions and anybody else contributing to the youth hip hop scene. West Coast, West Bay. Keep your peepers peeled for West West hip hop on the horizon.
yo yo dude! what been up with you lately? i just got a new mac book and i've been making sum slumpers. i'l send you a DEMO once i convert the shit to mp3. whats ur email again?
dude whatsup, saludos desde lima. Hey man i was just listening to that mac dre song livin it. what if we remixed mc spyder ice cream temperment onto that ice cream truck song beat? i think that would be great
wutscrack. ay i know i feel like maybe u shown me before but metal pressure and jungle book go dummmeeummeeummy hard cuz freal! also orange juice slappin, i like how it switch up. yo bruh, u think u ca email me mental pressure and that jungle book and wutever. ima tryna slap pod on that shit. yee.
whats new with nick? just was at tha dog house last night it was washed, but they played some shit from recently. Arg just got a sick epson projector so we watched this g'd out gangster documentary from 1994 called "Bangin in little rock". Set in arkansas about the spread of gangs and shit but really like the kids just talking, teenagers, about why they do it and all the murders and shit that were going down. they had more than new york that year! crazy shit.
thanks baben. thats me on the guitar. i write when im inspired which is sometimes a lot and sometimes not a lot at all...so i guess you could say it all depends.
so double d is an original beat? it's way different than most hip hop beats in that it shuffles, and isn't like straight four, you know? it swings i mean. very tight, luna's a trip too. i'm finally giving you feedback, i've only listened to em once though. where are you guys gonna get a car to drive across the country in?
its mark aubert's beat bruh. im switchin up the title and shit onit. i feel bad i jus kinda threw it up and didn't give him n e credit. but yee. ima peep ya beat hold up.
ey i haven't been on a computer in days. i'm in new york right now, and i can't listen to double d cause my homie's playing music. i'll listen to it hella soon and get back to you, that's tight you made your own beat though, keep doin it
hey boi that double d shit slaps! i like the tempo with that crazy dub u threw on ur voice, soundin way clean. i've got mad lyrics i need to put on track but i just havent found the time or place to do it. i guess the doghouse has been super washed lately from what i've heard. but when the fuck are u getting back to america? i'm missin my folks out here and need to bro down one time ya dig?
nick i love you and miss you a lot. last night tasha and i went to see anthony B with our friend ana. we ended up going backstage and meeting him, he is super chill and i thought of you while i was smokin backwoods with him. hes going to switzerland and you need to see him when he comes! he played us his new cd which fuckin slaps and he is gonna be at reggae rising this year for sure so you better get there!!!
I heard some old White Stripes on the radio the other day. "Sugar never tasted so good" I think. Shit is still so fuckin good. They just got too far from their roots I guess. But meeting Mick Collins was cooler than meeting the stripes, even though we didn't think so at the time. Happy birthday.. your moms still there?
and that's a compliment. I would say that making garageband samples sound great is pretty impossible, but then again I am an old fashioned square. But you should get your hands on Reason or something, I don't know what's the best software but I used Reason in school and that shit is helluv incredible. Wasn't your friend gonna get you a copy?
