These are my beats. I dig up old records, take the sounds I like. Then I re-arrange 'em as I like. I don't know the first thing about mixing 'em down or mastering or anything. So the sound quality is pretty shitty. But I don't care and just rely on saying I like 'em real grimy or something like that.
