Versatility Versatility

Title track off my album, very simple percussive beat, but good content. Just talking about what I believe hip-hop should be and how I'm going to contribute.

Crazy Man Crazy Man

Everyone calls me crazy man, cuz when you meet me, I really am a CRAZY MAN. This is just a song I did displaying some lyrical acrobatics and just playin around. One of the most fun songs I've ever done.

This is the Nailed version of crazy man. That's the opposite of Screwed (which means this is sped up, for those who don't comprehend). I had to do it :-)

Positive Vibes

Hey this is Brandon Baines. I'm 19 and I'm a full-time yo-yoer, part time MC. I produce the vast majority of my beats, and of course, write all my own lyrics. Music isn't really the focus of my life anymore. This is all old stuff from 2004 and earlier.
Band/artist history
I started rhyming in 2000. I started a group called Yashuu later that year. My lyrics sucked back then too, they really did. I tried to be black and not myself cuz those music videos had a big effect on me since I was a little man, and I wanted to be what those people were and have what they had. Then I got a little older, got a little wiser, and started tweaking my style, being the suburban white kid I am, and realizing that in true hip-hop, it doesn't matter what race, age, or gender you are. I released 4 Yashuu albums over the years, started up SCR Recordings, started to mess around producing, and now I have my solo album, Versatility.
Have you performed in front of an audience?
I don't really play live shows. I have done a few open mics and whatnot, but I basically just keep to myself a lot of the time.
Your musical influences
I have a bunch of influences. My musical influences are people like Mos Def, Talib Kweli, Common, Danja Mowf, OutKast, K-OS and Mission (a lotta underground, more positive MCs). Then there's some unsigned dudes I really like such as Dee-1R, Philosophi, 51 50, TrueSon, and so forth, all of which you can find on Soundclick.
What equipment do you use?
I use a Tapco 6306 mixer, an AKG C1000S condenser mic, a Yamaha PSR-320 keyboard, a computer, Cool Edit Pro, Acid 4.0, and I'm starting to learn how to use FL Studio as another production tool.
Anything else?
Nope.
