Your shit always on that laid back tip, never boring, thats ninjutsu balance for ya!!!
Tiny panned snare with the splash sweet, and the choir and guitar break too mellow, I can always trust you to bring some guitars into play, rare sample material!!! Solid how you took the bass out later on too...

Thank you Famz, 'specially for the mention of Ninpo(*cough* without revealing too much....lol). I'm at that beautiful point in my production workflow where I know EXACTLY what textures, frequency's, and atmospheric chromatics I want, ya dig: that true state of beatsmith-beatitude where you can mold-&-shape, ya dig. I'm lovin' every minute of it on the humble... So dope to be in the prescence of other talented beat-alchemists that know EXACTLY what I'm sayin!

really masterin your technique is EPIC, Id wish for all students of the beatgame to get that feelin at least once in the life lol...
On some other shit, I heard some session of you jammin and I thought bout askin you if youd be willin to rec some impro jazz for me to chop - hit me back with a PM if youre down fam.
I kind of wish you didn't filter the vocals so much and turned down the snare a lil' bit but if you did that it would be so easy to rhyme over and it would defeat the purpose of an interlude but overall I likes, I played it three times in a row.

Love me some heavy compression, drums pumpin, verb fightin to break thru...
Also, I notice you tend to pitch shift a lot within the same chop, thats dope - its always a balance, cause in the wrong settin or taken across too many octaves it sounds hella off, but you keep it straight!!!

It's not much to say, saw the challenge and this past weekend I worked on finding a song to sample from to make an interlude instead of using an old track.
Anyway once I sampled, chopped up the samples, and came up with a simple pattern, and put some crazy effects & filter on them, I wanted to leave it drumless but I didn't just want to do that so I used the same ol' kick I usually use and used a snare from from my old MPC drum library disk.

Personally I wasn't trying to kill it just make a simple interlude, infact I made like two other joints with the same purpose and turned out to beat another dope beat so with the third try I wanted to keep it simple instead of building, which is why I made sure the bpm was slow this time around...btw thanks again for diggin' it.
