Been a MINUTE!

It's been nearly a year and a half since my last blog. Alas, I RETURN to present my FOUR Blog spot followers with my new single "Beastie Boys"!!! It's the first joint from my upcoming "Oak Cliff Huxtable" project and it features my boy Knes. Funny story about this track... about a year and some change ago my boy S1 hits me up and says "Jay and Ye are looking for a Run this Town type of beat for Watch the Throne". At the time I was in studio with Ni-Taylor working on Taylored Rhodes, but that email shut down that session for the day (lol). Funny thing is it seemed like everything just clicked! I remember Ni going on the balcony to write a verse, and an hour later she came in to what was the finished product of Beastie Boys. It came together magically! I found a DOPE break beat compliments of my boy Lonestarr. Threw some choirs on it, Guitar, Strings Sub Bass and Viola! Magic (future voice). I just KNEW my name would be in those "WTT" credits... Short story long, that didn't happen. LOL. But hey, just setting myself up for bigger blessings, right Lord? (looks up to sky concerned). I am happy with how the track turned out and the response. Shouts out to my boy Knes for a dope verse and for his chopped up Cipher Remix verse making a dope hook. Finally, the irony in it all is that we were working on the song a month before MCA's untimely passing. How fitting it was to release the song as a dedication to his "Beastiness" R.I.P to the Great Adam Yauch! "FOREVER BEASTIE"
