Dilla Month is almost over 🍩 So I figured why not close it with my recreation of a classsic. Fun fact: I played live bass and recreated the iconic Singers Unlimited sample for “Players” I don’t sing often on records but I loved the challenge of figuring out the best way to recreate it. 🎤 🎸

🍩 “NothinMuch_(Sup)” Definitely one of the more underrated beats in Jay Dee’s discography “Pregnant (T3)” off of Fantastic Vol 1 just has that X factor about it. I knew once I heard the swirling Rhodes and the Tambourine I was hooked. Check my whole tribute set on my YouTube!

TURN IT UP! 🍩 My full mix of “one4Jaydee” is out now on my YouTube channel. In honor of the contributions that Dilla provided to the art of Hip Hop, I wanted to do a full run of my tribute beat tape. youtu.be/iU8osCOqRJU?...

Happy Dilla Day 🍩🤞🏾 Around this time last year I was finishing “one4jaydee” a collection of reimagined Dilla Joints. I’ve got a special mix I’m putting together to celebrate him but for now run this up! 🙏🏾 open.spotify.com/album/0S3877...

Anybody open up old recording sessions and get second hand embarrassment for your past self? Just me?

This is me reengaging this app after a much needed social media hiatus. Hello darkness, my old friend.

the major label system doesn't really speak to rap fans over 35. it's chasing tiktok teens and goading 20-somethings who can max out their credit cards at rolling loud. underground rap, on the other hand, is out here thriving across generations, with compelling sounds for the youth and grown folks.

Bro the more expensive the restaurant, the smaller the food. Caucapitalism you will pay.

Taking as much time as I need to ACTUALLY get better at music. That’s my whole thing rn 🤝🏾🙏🏾

♐️3️⃣4️⃣🎂 Made it around the sun again yesterday! This year was rough, but not without its beautiful shining moments. Hopefully next year will be even more positive growth. ✨

Dope and important

Get some big tunes, make a big impact!

Last Friday I dropped an exclusive new track on the Heartbeats Vol. 1 Compilation tape! 💕 All the proceeds go to providing eSIM cards for the displaced people of Gaza! Tap in here and grab your copy! Heartbeatsnyc.bandcamp.com

“The untouchables” shouldn’t count as copaganda, Sean Connery didn’t die for that smh.

1) Madvillainy (my first encounter with DOOM and madlib) 2) Late Registration (my second favorite Kanye Album) 3) The Shining (before I knew how long I ACTUALLY had been listening to J Dilla 4) Samurai Champloo OST (my first intro to Nujabes)

Last week, one of the most enigmatic rappers of his generation took us beyond the looking glass at last

My first music post on this app 🙏🏾 I dropped new music on the heartbeats compilation tape here in NYC! All proceeds go to providing eSIM cards to the displaced people of Gaza 🍉 Make sure you tap in here: heartbeatsnyc.bandcamp.com/album/heart-...

Gotta remind myself of this one whenever I start tripping about my lil music career lol

Making music is fun. Playing music for people is fun. Connecting with other musicians is fun. Almost everything else about the music industry sucks lol.

spotify wrapped 916 BC you listened to that one guy with a lyre in the marketplace 403 times. honestly he's pretty weirded out. don't you have barley to thresh

Being ready for the next level is only half the battle. The next level also has to be prepared for YOU.

I’ve just been watching YouTube videos about how major cities are made. At 33 years old, I have become my Dad.

put one SPOTIFY link under this post. putting together a BLUESKY EXCLUSIVE playlist. this will probably close after 150 submissions. don't be that artist that leaves a link but doesn't share the post. we're all supposed to be working together. let's cook!

I definitely earned the money I needed to buy this record by eating strictly off the dollar menu for a few weeks 😂 Also shout out FYE, they should have been what Best Buy is now smh.

Thinking about the talking point that bluesky is just a liberal bubble and, that may be true , but it's nice to know guys like this probably won't follow me on here like he just did on Twitter. Like...there is no way this guy had good intentions, in relation to the stuff I post 😂😂😂

This country is so divided we can’t even agree on what day Black Friday is.

Suggested buying and playing Call of Duty like the old days with @nothing-neue.bsky.social and haven’t really stopped all day lol

I just wanna make some art and mind my business.

Remember as you get older the holidays become more and more difficult. If you’re feeling a lull in your activity, it might be the heaviness of the seasons teaming up with the current events. Take the time YOU need and to navigate that. Just be communicative when you need that time.

The amount of peace that comes from working and living in Brooklyn after decades of having to work in The City is unrivaled. I can count the times I crossed a bridge in the last three months on one hand.

PSA:

Listening to untitled unmastered. just hits different with this last year of Kendrick’s career.

Not sure if anyone cares or needs to read this but being sober and/or leading a healthier lifestyle is not a punishment by any stretch. You got this and your body will thank you.

I’m (not) sorry but whoever called the cops lost. I don’t make the rules smh

If you have Bandcamp you have access to a built in email list. That means you can email your fanbase directly with minimal effort.

cookin discounts on ALL my services right now drop a line if you wanna get to work before 2025 hits! ive cooked with artists, producers, songwriters, authors, hospitals, fashionistas, comic book writers, actors and the like. hit me up!

i take care of the world when I take care of myself.

Bro shout out the engineer for staying composed when Dot started yelling “MUSTAAAAARD” I’d have been in that bih like

Kendrick said

Luther in the background, while Kendrick was rapping:

Kenny let Scorpio szn end and then said let’s go. It’s clippeddddd. 🫡🫡 Happy Sagittarius Season ♐️♐️♐️

!!!!!!!!

I need to hear “Hey Now” & “Squabble Up” in a whip with a crazy system 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

HEY NOW, SAY NOW.

Kendrick really got his foot on the neck of everyone lol. This album is wild.

Social media was mostly targeted for people who have lots of time (young adults and teens) so to make your whole livelihood centered around that is not sustainable. Unless you’re a full time artist it’s very hard to find time to edit videos and stay active on socials

Nothing_Neue’s setup is like Discovery Zone for producers, I loved going over there & working on ideas 🙌🏿
