Word Play...unfinished Word Play...unfinished

I just had to put something up that's been made after '03. I just threw it over a beat I borrowed. 2 tracks, 1 take. I'm gonna redo it.

Alternative Hip Hop

I'm a MC, DJ, beatboxer and producer. These songs are old; written between '93-'03 and recorded on a 4 track cassette tape. I'm working on new stuff now.
Band/artist history
I am the band on all these songs. I play all the instruments. I write it. I record it. Some beats are borrowed. In other projects I perform w/ a couple different bands as a DJ, MC, beatboxer and whatever other instrument I can get my hands on.
Have you performed in front of an audience?
Yeah. Mostly parties. A couple small gigs in some bars. Playing live is were it's at for me.

These tracks are pretty old. And even back when they were recorded I was going for an old school feel. I couldn't help but make it have that lo-fi sound. It was my first album. My first actual recording of stuff. My goal was to make something very eclectic, original and creative. It's different than most.
