First verse. I have parts of the hook recording, but I'm not sure I want to use it. Obviously another rough recording; am currently working on the second verse though.
Young Forever Young Forever
This is a rough recording of the intro to "A Beautiful Chaos". Samples Issac Hayes' "Ike's Mood I", which is probably one of the most sample sections in hip-hop's history. I don't think anyone's ever used the strings though.
My Own Worst Enemy My Own Worst Enemy
This is the first rough recording called "My Own Worst Enemy". Just the first verse, no hook. The sample is Idina Menzel's "My Own Worst Enemy".
MOWE 2nd verse MOWE 2nd verse
Second verse of My Own Worst Enemy. This is from his perspective.
I Made You I Made You
Working file. Needs a lot of work, but I literally just started two days ago. Matter of fact, even the hooks is different as I just re-wrote it to flow better.
Rockets (Independence Day) Rockets (Independence Day)
Instrumental for the song "Independence Day"
The Homecoming (Instrumental) The Homecoming (Instrumental)
This is the final song of the album. It has a very cinematic feel to it. The only sample used is the main acoustic guitar riff, which is eq'd during the verses to allow just the high notes through. Everything else is played by ear, as usual.
The Most Beautifullest The Most Beautifullest
*NOT ON ALBUM Second copy. Thinking about re-recording the final vocals with more emphasis on a nostalgic sound. This would make me sound entirely different though. Anyway, title says it all...yes it was spelled that way on purpose.
'Her' 'Her'
Smooth, soft R&B with a Reggaeton-inspired finish (not the same, since I slowed it down). Mainly Acoustic guitars and Synths over island-sounding percussion
Untitled Untitled
Mostly Midi based for everything, except the drums, which I program seperately. Still tweaking.
Strokin' Strokin'

Just the first verse of "Heaven". This one will appear on The Beautiful Chaos. I have a hook, but I'm not sure I like it yet. Update: yep. Definitely hated that hook. :-) And my singing is terrible. lol

An extended sample from Ike's Mood 1 by Issac Hayes.
The Cold-Hearted Thawsnippet The Cold-Hearted Thaw *snippet*
Samples the "Saw" theme, which I've seen done before, but I've never seen anything other than the main riff and Lil Jon type crunk vocals. Not going for a club-feel. Trying something different with it.
