Okay, this is becoming a dump for my work, basically I'll upload everything I produce onto this page and use it as a linkup page. A bit about me: I'm 21, living in Newport, South Wales, studying film & video in Newport Film School. Been making music for about a year on FL Studio, various styles, although I'm becoming rather fond of Trip-Hop and alternative dance styles at the moment, also produce a bit of hiphop, more to come soon. I've just started using Reason 3, as soon as I get a bit more kit sorted I intend for this to replace FL as my No.1 program, although I'll still rewire it to use the piano roll sequencer in FL, as IMO it's the best of the bunch. If you like what you hear drop me a bit of feedback and say so. Peace

Story behind the song
The song is about a world in which hip-hop has been banned by the government for being damaging to the population. It outlines the hypocrisy of a government that cannot allow anything to interfere with it's own plans for the population. It's not based on any one government in particular, but i'm sure can draw some similar parallels with a certain superpower...
Lyrics
Hip-hop conquered communities, bread a front of unity/ tell them where to stick it when you get the call of duty/ the obnoxious and incompetent eliminate the enigma/ tear apart the lifeforce stemming from this stigma/ Anti-rapper bullets blazing over broadway/ got shot down and landed on the freeway/ mass exodus of musicians took a left to catch their breath/ exchanged their pickup trucks for the subway, avoid unwanted stress/ they were artists, their integrity defined their lives/ now everything they created smoulders on top of fires/ congress passed the bill, revoked their rights to write/ now they work the nine to five in order to survive/ cuz the man got his filthy hands on their creation/ used it to instill fear into the population/ a shooting, a mugging, a poker game/ every little incident, poor hip-hop got the blame/ it's a crying shame the same who came and saw/ were portrayed as felons, lead out the back door/ no longer accepted, style reviled and exciled/ prosecutors put music on trial with a police file/ freedom of speech an illusion, thrown out the window/ bureaucracy and bullshit standing toe to toe and so/ the shelves were stripped of offending flows/ unknown replaced by uncomplicated tones/ (x2) The monumental mistake to raise the stakes/ double take unnecessary federal constraints/ against the law imposed upon the beats/ persecution of production rendered incomplete/ We declare vendetta rejected by a letter sent by pencil pushers who really should know better/ ammendment to the proposed plan of action/ participation in the very first rap faction/ ubiquitous uprising overthrew conservative blues/ underground artists adopted their own personal muse/ exemplary examples of pop culture just died/ finally see the world through an extroverts eyes
