SOUND CHECK AND CHECK SOUND
SOUND CHECK
To my left is the amazing D.J. Vajra, to my right is super producer Stro the 89th Key, and to myself is me. Found this footage of a sound check. I saved some of the lyrics but we never recorded this song- it was more of an impromptu sound clash. Vajra was playing a record as well as triggering samples. Stro was trying to match the drums to my rhythm and I was trying to match my raps to his drums, anticipating the pockets. People ask, “Why do rappers move their hands when they are rapping”, I just tell them I am a Microphone Conductor and my hand acts as a baton. Word. My opening line for this verse was (I say this so you don’t think I’m just mumbling, ha): “The horror inside of me similar to Gomorrah societies, stored in a diary stimulant for war and anxiety, watching the door, stalking, for the call of the wild beast was caught in the hall talking through the walls of a liars teeth…” word. If you like, feel free to pass this video around and check out the video section for more flicks! Word, again.
CHECK SOUND
Ah, nothing like waking up in the morning, stubbing your toe on your hard drive, and falling onto a remix
you thought you lost. Yes! A remix by the one and only Stro the 89th Key. A man of dignity, valor, and substance. One who travels the world in search of sounds for the purpose of trapping and taming them to his will. If you picked up “The Art of Broken Glass”, (which I hope you have- legally= means I eat) then you might have noticed a track called “Umpire State”. Well, this so happens to be a remix of that track with an entirely dfferen’t spin on it. I can dig it. Have a listen. Have a free download of it, pass it around if you’d like. Also, keep sending in those remixes! Love em. I have already made a connection with the producer of one of them and intend to work on some original material with him. So yes, its worth it- I hope. Ha. Blessings and thank you very much for your support!
