Same City, Different Results

What up Good people,

Well, unfortunately The City of Hamilton is not the good luck charm I thought it too be and I don't have another "W" to post up here.

I'm writing this to let you know that your boy didn't even place (SMH). It was an INTERESTING battle (To say the least), but I will say that the person that SHOULD have won, did. 

Be sure to check out the winner and my new friend: Simple Craft. 

Dude, came with some fire for real. There was a mix up in the decision making which led us all to believe that he didn't make the finals, but it was rectified in the last round and homey ran with it. 

Congrats SimpleCraft!!

On another note, there were a number of learnings that I came away with from the battle that left me a tad perplexed, but my Momma used to always say if you ain't got nothing good to say, say nothing at all. 

SO .................

On that note, I will end this entry with the tracks I created for the battle. Please like and share and all that good stuff and get at me if you wanna work or just chat. 

ONE. 

Round 1 is assigned sample, We we're assigned to one of four groups and then have to make a beat out of that sample.

Sample used: Mario Battaini E La Sua Orchestra - Il Padrino 

Round 2 Sample at will, meaning you can sample as many of the songs or as few as one song in the Round 2 folder and you MAY use samples from the outside or other things like synths, etc..

Sample used: Barrington Spence - Speak Softly

Round 3 is the sample pack and you may use as many or as few of the songs/samples to make ONE beat, but you may not use ANY SAMPLES, DRUMS OR SOUNDS from outside of the sample pack except for spoken vocal snippets/dialogue (like a dj battle)

Sample used: Werner Mueller & His Orchestra

Godfather Beat Battle - Round 4 is the Waltz with the Godfather round in which participants must remix the song "Hugo Montenegro - The Godfather Waltz"

HERE WE GO AGAIN!!!!

It's that time again y'all!!

The good folks over at Today's Future Sound  & Beat Binjaz are back on the North Side of the border doing that good work they are known for and pitting some of the best hip-hop producing talents up against each other to do battle for a GREAT cause.

Now as you know, the last time I did battle in Hamilton, your boy walked away with the "W" (YEEEEEEEAAAAAHHHH BOOOOOIIIIIEEEE).

I'm really looking forward to meeting up with some familiar faces, meeting new ones and hearing what my competitors have for me to compete against.

Please come out and support the cause and your boy.

Help Me Name My Baby Girl!!!

Okay, so this is a little unorthodox but I figured lets have some fun with it.

So as some of you know, I am expecting my first daughter VERY soon and me and Wifey have been having a VERY hard time deciding on a name.

So what I usually do when facing a difficult decision is turn to music and this time is no different.

Below you will find some tracks I have created each with a name that we have high on our consideration list. You can help us by choosing a beat/name below by adding it as a favourite on Soundcloud.

The most popular vote will win. I MAY add one more name to the list, but these are the MAIN ones.

Thanks for your help and enjoy!!

And The Winner is..... (Pt. 3)

YEEEAAAHHH BOOOOYYY!!!

Your boy FINALLY pulled one out.

Big shout outs to the good people at Today's Future Sound.

Also wanna send love to all the people that were involved with the event; Philthy Drummond, Bix, Apt, Es & Elaquent.

To the cats I went up against (All DOPE PRODUCERS!!) Gorgeous George, Viktor Shade & Exponent3.

Much love to all who supported and I'll see you all next battle!!

Deets for the battle and tracks below, ENJOY!!
