Outerlude Outerlude
The outro to '4 and the Core's' second album. They felt the beat fit the mood of the album... so they used it. I let MOS replay the keys over the rest of the beat to make it lively cause i only made a 8 bar loop originally.

The Vail of Mystery The Vail of Mystery
I think this came about because Mike Bibby of '4 and the Core' wanted me to sample Sade for a track. This is what i had when he heard it... there's actually a bass line to it that i didn't finish before he got to hear it. They rushed me and this is

The Dance The Dance
Another one of the first few tracks i made with my Fantom-s. One of the members of '4 and the Core' heard it and knew it gave the right mood for his poem. Worked well huh!

Die n Die n***
A deep song... '4 and the Core' are a talented group. This was my beat... well actually my beat included original drums and stuff but they decided to go with just the samples i chopped and filtered. I let one of the group members now known as MOS r

I like triplets for some crazy ass reason. Something about that swing. I really wish i had real musicians to recreate alot of these barebones tracks that i made cause my lack of talent in playing really hinders my musical abilities

I used to have a hard time looping on the fantom-s and started trying to recreate from scratch the stuff i wanted sample. This was my take on a Bobbi Humphrey's sample i wanted to use

Woes Woes
The very first song i made on my Fantom-s. I made this on like the second day i had it. I must have been really depressed when i made it. It's cool though cause the song is very similar to me because the chord progression is sad and builds tension

WTF WTF
It's called wtf for a reason. I made this back when lil' Jon was runnin' sh*** and figured i'd make a corny melody and use 808's. It sucks complete ass until u get to the chorus... then it turns into this beautiful harmonious sound. But it's tough
