One For Berto by moral one →
i came across this loop in my sample bin about a month or so ago.  Berto used it for a song called Shadows.  it brought back a lot of memories, good ones.  so i decided to give it a 30 min face lift, as if i were to produce a song for BR today and pitch it to them.  i wonder if they would like it… click the link and check it out.

Just spent
The second half of today w/ Alert at one of Chicago’s premier recording studios, Wall to Wall. Fantastic session. Vintage gear, great live rooms, and fun new songs to record all make for a rewarding time at the studio. Can’t wait to share the songs with y’all.

my ipod is telepathic
especially when it’s on shuffle. unknowingly i was in the mood for some good ‘ol fashioned hip hop beats. no raps.  no hooks. no r&b guests. just some hard hitting backpack beats. when i got in the car to come home i didnt know what to listen to, so as usual i click to shuffle- and this was the playlist. and as a preface- my ipod barely plays hip hop back to back to back…...

Adventures In Digging: Tampa, FL Edition
while i was down in Tampa last week i had the chance to accidentally go .99 digging with my good homie/ label mate Theory Hazit.   we were actually on the hunt for coffee but we found records instead- tomato/tamato. so with $5 bucks in my pocket this is what i came up with. nothing serious, nothing checked off my dream list, but some fun stuff to flip nonetheless.

Streetlights →
frontlinemog: So last night I was showing the #Streetlights video (Psalm 73) to a high school student but he couldn’t understand what it was at first. When I explained to him that @McBoogalu/@TheAlertLive was just reading the text he said, “Oh so he’s just reading the bible with swag.” I guess that’s a good way to put that.
