So along with working on my upcoming beat tape, I'm also recording rhymes for my mixtape/production album "Versus". It's gonna be a mix of my beats, stuff from the 90's, and a few more recent beats from Seattle artists, since I recently moved out here. I recorded this today to Rakaa Irisciense' "Ends to Means", produced by Sea City's Jake One. '06 I think? Anyway, give a listen if you get a minute.It sounds slightly rougher than I'd like, but I'm still learning this recorder. And just to put it out there- if anyone would like to continue to pass judgement on me or my character, let this be your starting point. Peace to all the real,thanks...1

Sounds ill, flows are on point, I can dig it.PEACE.

Thank you man, I appreciate it, been a minute since anyone heard me spit. 1

you still got it man. now I know for sure

Thanks a lot El,lol..I'ma get you a better version of that other joint soon, complete with lyrics and decoding footnotes

nice beats and crazy flow!
are you rappin too on this track?
good track.
maybe the mic recording need some more detailed eq? do you remember what mic was used?(sorry for the ball breaking)

Thanks Ella- Yea it's me rhyming- I'm really more of an m.c. than a beat maker. My mic's listed in my sig- it's a pretty good mic imo,on the lower end of higher end condenssors. But I'm far from an audiophile and don't know much about eq'ing vocals. In the past i've always had other people record me. I used the low-end cut at least. I purposely tried to get some parts to clip though, kinda biting Rza's old techniques. I also can't figure out how to adjust delay on the boss, and I think I accidentally bounced the beat to mono,lol. But yea, the feed means a lot man, thank you.

Like I figured- Judging by all the new posts since the "white out" traffic was definitely down when I posted this. Re-Up! Give a listen if you hadn't been through for a few,thanks..11.

sharp! doubled vox, straighforward raw. you did the beat too?

Thanks Kel-- naw, that's a Jake One beat he did for Rakka of Dilated- either '03 or '06, can't remember which, the song is "Ends to Means".Part of this release will be using 3-4 beats from Seattles most prominent producers.I might have to re-do this with a better version of the instrumental though, it's missing a lot of low end. I also wanna add a little delay to the vocal, maybe redo it completely, theres a few spots where I'm a little too ahead of the snare, rushing the delivery a bit. Appreciate it a lot man.

This you rhyming ? This shit is knockin homie . Hit me if you ever want to collab i got like a million beats .
Peace , Soon

Thanks a lot man--like I said I was really digging the album you posted, I'll definitely keep that in mind, always looking for people to collab with.
