The moonlight was bright making this on an overnight bus to France on tour years ago… this became “Drug Moon” on PremRock and I’d “Shelf Life” EP, marking the last long European Tour for me (5/6 weeks), and a wild run of dates that changed me forever… #mpc #beatmaker #makingbeats #beats #padlife

Making beats hard again … made in a sleepy little coastal town in France, but can’t remember who I placed this with 🤷🏻‍♂️

Originally made this beat on an overnight bus to Le Mans, France, 2016, and it’s fitting; a younger version of me, travelling and touring almost endlessly for those years, making music that quells the restless heart. Maybe it’s time to put it out yeah? #beats #makingbeats #beatmaker #mpc #padlife

America, Bernie Sanders please

Keeping my reps up on these pads while I attend the twins, so I’ll be ready to rock when the time comes. It’s one thing about the winters here I enjoy, cookin’ up the skills and vibes to bring it to y’all. Hit me for private lessons on fingerdrumming if interested 😎 #practice #padlife

Always felt I could defeat beat block w this style of production; tight chops, 16 level bassline, Premier style drums This became “Harder Than A Brick” ft. Roshin, Ambeez & TassNata on the Basements of Badmen Vol. 3 on Hand’solo Records #beats #mpc #fingerdrumming #makingbeats #padlife

Here’s a little heat for you going into the weekend, from a joint a I produced for my guy @ShuaJames #padlife

Appreciate the love, thank you for accepting me as more than just a pad pusher #padlife This song is about being haunted, both by my ex, and the ghost that inhabited my apartment Full link in bio

For my new video, I set my old MPC on fire… why? Cause I’m more than just a pad pushing circus monkey, I’m an “artiste” 😂 FULL VID ON YOUTUBE

Ladies & gentleman, I present “Visitant” featuring Ok Handsome who, get this, is actually me… full vid on YouTube Once I got up the nerve to put the song out, didn’t have the nerve to admit it was me singing, so I gave myself an alter ego Directed by @myerclarity.bsky.social

In 3 days, I drop a video for “Visitant” ft. Ok Handsome along with a huge reveal… nervous not ghon lie 😬 Directed by @myerclarity.bsky.social

One for all us cornballs here, flipping the Eagles; a courageous flip, or a bridge too far? #padlife 😉

A&R’ing is curating, and curating is an art form, and some of y’all ain’t that. But I live in a glass house so… those beat packs I sent, my bad 😅

Let’s go!!

I live for the funk, I die for the funk… I may be guilty of is letting the sample sources lead my creative path, sometimes too much, sometimes just right. I just love the loop, so I let it rock, building elements around it. There’s no right way, but what do y’all think? #beatmaker #padlife

Got a brand new Fresh Kils joint, “Front To The Past”, out on a dope new Japanese label called Sanzuwu, y’know, in case you’re looking for cool records to support on Bandcamp Friday 😉 sanzuwu.bandcamp.com/track/front-...
