BlackEGO
Welcome to my soundclick page. I'm BlackEGO, aka. Marcus Hughes, aka Boots The Monkey (inside joke). Anyway, I'm not going to talk about the current state of Hiphop or music in general and say the shit needs to stop. I'm just doing me and hopefully by taking this route, people like the beats that I produce.
A career may come from this but my first love is graphic design and then music.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
Nah, don't play live.
Your musical influences
Got a ton of musical influences that isn't Hiphop related. I love Jon Brion's music, how he arranges everything. The Beatles, Rolling Stones, Rush, Genesis and many others. From a Hiphop standpoint, Jay-Dee (RIP), Madlib, Timbaland, Dr. Dre, Einstien of Ugly Duckling, People Under the Stairs.
I have a great influence to 9th Wonder. Though I don't try to copy anyone's style, I think the way he approach his production style is unique and probably one of the most mimmicked sounds that you can hear now and days.
What equipment do you use?
FL Studio 6
Cool Edit Pro
Anything else?
I'm also a graphic designer, been designing since I was 13 but I didn't take it serious until the age of 17. My website is http://www.urban-graffiti.net/ Need a cd cover, flyer, advertisement, logo, hit me up.
