My dude said the entire mixtape would hopefully be done by Tuesday. He's juggling full time working and bein a full-time student so hopefully he can get some spare time these next few days and get everything done... but I decided I'm gonna turn the vocals down on some of these tracks before I put em all out there.. Just thinkin i'm comin in too hard off the intros and chorus.

Thanks dude, glad you're feelin this. and yeah, we do everything by ourselves. My dude Nasty has a keyboard and a portable Yamaha studio... For like the first 10 songs I made I was testing the waters out. We'd roll up some herb and he'd sit there and make beats on his keyboard and I'd just flow rhymes. Then I'd just throw on the headphones and record it, and he would master everything and edit it on his laptop. So it's just us two doing everything from our apartment, not like we get real studio time or anything like that. So considering it's all a do it yourself type thing I think the quality and all that sounds real nice.

All Scientific and Say What! and all these other songs I just recorded were beats from a dude in London. He somehow heard some of my original stuff on Youtube and just got at me and sent me some beats and i was blown away. Just really feelin that style with a lot of crisp samples. and we're both 90s hip hop heads, into the same artists and stuff, and when i heard the beats he was sendin me i just couldnt believe it. So i took some time and wrote to em, perfected em best I could, then drove the 5 hours to my boy Nasty's house and recorded them. Everything from these are completely from scratch and just done by us.

People don't get it though... I aint tryin to be signed or be rich with these. I'm just tryin to be nice on the mic, cause to me it sounds like everyone out there is following the same mold and I just wanna make rap music that I love to listen to and has a style to it. I don't feel the rappers that rhyme slow and use autotune and all that, im not about that. So I'm just tryin to go in hard on my music and try to do something different that doesn't sound like anyone else. People I know in real life just aren't grasping that concept that I'm not making music that I think everyones gonna like.

Anyways, here's the first song I ever recorded (featuring Nasty). I feel like you can really see the improvement I've made in the past year if you listen to this and then listen to a new song of mine. Cause before I was just reachin for rhymes and it was all stoner-rap stuff and i evolved since. But this is In Weed We Trust, first song we ever did. Kinda wanna go back to my old stuff and take the beats and just make new songs over em, just sounds so elementary and basic now.
