Sphynix Rising... Sphynix Rising...
This came from a request to do an LOTR type track. Instead of sampling (me sample??), I created a melody. I just kept seeing pyramids while making this one. Might have to chop this one later. :) I LOVE IT, and you do too...
The Soulja's Fortune... The Soulja's Fortune...
This is classic me. Strings on the main melody, pizz strings, harps, a little guitar and some flutes. Ya boy got styles 4 dayz...
Guitar West... Guitar West...
This one's been in the vault for a min. West coast feel, with some distorted guitars on the melody. A few strings, harpsichord, harp and a synth choir also help things out. Here's to the good Doctor, and all things left...
Show Ya Ass... Show Ya Ass...
Inspired by my boy Biglabox, who's drums tracks are thick as hell. Midtempo joint, powered by octave string melody, thumpin bass line, slightly thick percussion, and a Koto leading the hook melody. Damn he just keeps getting better...
The Cardinal Sin... The Cardinal Sin...
This one was a request, so I had to do it. I don't want to hear no crap about 'ooh, you trying to be like so and so'. It's called bid'ness. U do what the paying client tells u...
Get Em... Get Em...
Up tempo joint with a thick ass bass line driving it. Rough potential, with the right MC(s) riding it. A gang of synths riding the bass line, with a clap snare. Gangsta is what you SPIT on the track...
Patriotic Death... Patriotic Death...
Started superbowl night. Thought the pats were gonna lose, thus the name. Mid tempo, haunting piano and tubular bells, harpsichord, voices, bells, pizz strings, and a violin solo. Royce, holla atcha boy...
Poppin Off Tha Chain... Poppin Off Tha Chain...
Final track off Don Coley's upcoming album, 'Who I Be'. Up tempo, thick bass line, strings, guitar, clav, harpsichord and bells. The gon be fightin in tha club...
The Slaughter... The Slaughter...
Got inspired in the middle of another track. Apparently has a reggae type feel (unintentional), with a crazy synth pad on it. Hard ass bass line. Watch your speakers with this one...
The 5'9 Project... The 5'9 Project...
An AMAZING CD inspired this one. A slow/mid flow, with jazz and spanish guitars on the melody, some harpsichord, classical piano, bells and some strings on the orchestration. Royce, u shoulda went triple...
The Funeral... The Funeral...
Just a little quick something I threw together. Been obsessed with the organs lately, and put it together with tubular bells, pizz strings, orchestra strings, timpani, harp, and a little harpsichord. It's coming together now...
And What (Remix) And What (Remix)
Original version on Don Coley's album. Liked the concept, but hated the original beat. Mid Tempo, driving bass melody, piano, organ, the hook, and a few synths. The jump off...
C'mon... C'mon...
Another track for Don Coley's upcoming album. Slightly crunk to match his southern flow, with a rumbling bass line, brass, harps, pizz strings, and a few synths. Thank Fiend for this one...
My Pain... My Pain...
Another possible album track. Emotion conveyed is one of pain and struggle, but hope and gratefulness that he made it out. Piano melody, harps, oboe, acoustic bass, marimba's, strings and choir voices. My Pain...
Don Coley... Don Coley...
Possible entry on Don Coley's next CD. My first full album production gig. Also the co-exec producer. The track is string heavy (bows and pizz), harps, mute guitar, timpani, with some synths thrown in. Here i come y'all...
Dirt Off Ya Shoulder (Deviance Mix...) Dirt Off Ya Shoulder (Deviance Mix...)
Jay-Z's vocals over my Deviance track. I had the original track in mind when i produced the instrumental. Recently got my hands on the acapella and decided to see how close i was...
Harlem's Keys... Harlem's Keys...
Inspired by Ms Alica again, track 1. Wanted to do something with a slightly harder edge, while keeping my musicality. Uptempo, piano chord melody, brass on the chorus, and a funk guitar thrown in. This is me...
Beauty in the Keys... Beauty in the Keys...
Inspired by REAL music, Alicia's Diary and Musiq's Soulstar. RnB joint with a Wurly, clarinet, strings, accoustic bass and piano, harp and a lil spanish guitar. Feel this one...
Blind Ambition... Blind Ambition...
A flood of ideas just hit me all at once. This track is my attempt to make sense of it all. Up tempo, ALOT of strings, riding a 3-6 Mafia type drum track. Sometimes, u just gotta do what the music tells you...
Diego... Diego...
Reverted back to my old tactics and built the song bassline up. Driving bass line, thumping drums, some spanish guitar, e-piano, bells, all melded together with some synths. The natural and the artificial, in melodic co-existence...
