New Songs

Whats haapnin'...
I havn't been doing much remixing lately, due to my new found pleasure in making beats from scratch. Im nearing my 100th instrumental! Don't get me wrong, about 14% of my insts are actually complete and fully mastered, but I'd say at least 88% have great potential.
However, i have a few unreleased tracks that ive made since I started production on Best Rapper Alive, the Jay-Z Mixtape.

The first song, (which shall be hitting YouTube shortly) is a track that i completely produced on my own, and from scratch. Using a sample I got from an In Flames song called Your Bedtime Story Is Scaring Eve, Leonard Cohen's spoken poem , and a Jay-Z acapella, i was able to create a ruff sounding hip-hop track, with a whole bunch of meaning to it. Not to give anything away just yet, but it's called American Dreamin' and also features part of Barack Obama's election speech.

The other song is much more simple, and less remixed. Its a new song by The Clipse called Kinda Like A Big Deal, featuring Kanye West, which i added a KiD CuDi verse to. The only reason I did this one, was because i liked the original (anything without Ye using autotune, and actually rapping is good for me), and when i heard CuDi's verse, i loved the Transformers reference and sound used. Being a bit of a TF freak, i did what i do best. Also having all 3 artists is much more fun that 2 separate songs.

My next post will have both links to the new songs on YouTube,

Blaze two, get at me in the mornin'.. PEACE!
