Current Fav. J Dilla Beat...

I have a lot of favorite Dilla beats...but for some reason this is matching my mood today.

Music Update: My "SoultapeLvL2:Sound Therapy" project is more than 1/2 way done.
And yea, the title has changed again. 50/50 shot that it will stay at this title.
I'm going by the feel & sound of the music and this is what it's kinda been like lately.

Back to the music. I'm trying to start a flood for 2010.

Music Update, Personal Stuff, Blah Blah Blah...

The Music
-Pretty much due to the increase of my work on music, it has also decreased my blogging activity. But I do plan to change that. P.A. and I have setup a home studio at my spot...nicknamed "The Danger Room"(See X-Men comics or movies). We've been catching up on a past summer project as well as an new EP to send out to someone of interest that may take P.A. on for music training. I hope he gets it...with the music we've been making lately...I'ma kinda acting like he already has that slot. So by the end of this month there will be an EP on this blog with new music...finally lol.

-Another EP that is in the works with my boy Precyse, Geoh and myself titled "The Danger Room Sessions" is coming together better than I idealized. That may also be out by the end of the month. Oh and it's completely produced by......little ol' me.

-Justin Allen has been on a "revenge of music"-type grind lately. All quality songs, I will say that without a problem. I'mma post up a few gems he recently released. Some produced by me also.

-"SoultapeLvL2"...I don't know when I'mma put that together honestly with all the random projects I'm trying to be apart of. But I do want to have it out by the end of the year. I do know that I want to have it close to 50/50...1/2 beats, 1/2 artists flowing over my beats. If I can get my pen & flow game to mesh once again maybe a few joints from myself. But we shall see. I'm mainly focus on honing my production and mixing skills. "SoultapeLvL2" will blow some minds away...reason why? "LvL1"...as nice of a mix of my work as it may be with no ego in saying so...it's a poor representation of what I can CURRENTLY do. I've upgraded so much since I made that project.

Personal Stuff
-My moms is going to have to have surgery again to have a piece of cancerous skin removed. This is like the 4th time...or at least of the ones that I know of. Mom's is private about her personal well being....or maybe she just doesn't want me to worry. Either way I'm always thinking about her even though I come off as a self-preserved loner. It's hard to be intact with people all the time when your muscles are on fire 1/2 of the day ...more or less depending on the day. Don't want to take it out on the very few I care for, most importantly my mother. We've done enough "taking out of each other" in the past of my child/teenage years.

Anyway, I've had a few nightmares of her leaving. One of the frequent ones is me visiting her tombstone reading "loving mother of a disappointing son". I've had an extreme rate of fuck up's in my teens and I'm still recovering. Music has change my mentality in that I can do something useful and productive. I just want my mom to have that one moment where she can point and smile...telling someone "yea, that's my son right there. I'm so proud". Rather than me being a common clone of my father...who also is musically talented. But he "let his high be his low" and now is in Louisiana pulling whenever he can to make it. Grand-mom told me I wasn't born to be a poor man...what I didn't realize back then is what she meant was not in money, but as in inside of myself.

My want of a blunt is becoming less and less. One, cause I need a job badly. Two, creating music has kinda replaced it I think. The only time I have a urge for one is when I'm having a painful day. It doesn't fix the pain but it helps ignore it. Kinda like...."my shoulder is hurting like hell....(the high kicks in)....and,....so" lol
The plan, next official job, get health insurance. Get the prescribed meds.
Random thought: Wouldn't being addictive to those be worst than weed?
Bad enough I can't even sleep without a fuckin' Tylenol-PM.

Speaking of a sleep.....I HAVE AN INTERVIEW TOMORROW. Politic with ya'll soon.
New music is on the way, asap!

Interlude No.1: Gambittized

A few weeks ago I visited one of my favorite blog sites chiefofaffections.blogspot.com and seen a video post that stuck with me for awhile. Anytime I was having a bad day or one of my "pause of creativity" moments, I would play this video. It was created by a lady name Nina for the "Bova International Festival Of New Images"(BovaImagesFestival.net). Most of all my samples are from inspirations....so why stop just at "crate diggin'"?

Interlude No. 1

Interlude No.1 from Nina. on Vimeo.

My result of this inspiration, the beat I flipped from it.

I Am Gambitt / Preview Of "SoultapeLvL2"

Most people would say I side with the X-Men character Gambit strictly because him and I are both Cajun/Creole and we're both from Louisiana. It isn't that simple even though I wish it was.

Gambit has the mutant power to kinetically charge objects with a touch or straight forward eye-slight of an object. Inside of him is kinetic-energy building up which if he doesn't keep down to a certain balance he runs with a possibility of exploding and killing not only himself but the people around him. The balance is kept by releasing kinetic energy through outward charges.

Myself...I have pain that builds up. Psychical pain all through out my muscles. Its an muscle disorder call Fibromyalgia. It is a medically unexplained syndrome characterized by chronic widespread pain and a heightened and painful response to pressure. I've dealt with this since my early memories as a child. At times when this pain builds up I feel as if I'm about to explode....in a rage. A rage to be painless again and a rage to set fire to anyone near me while in pain...meaning I want to be left alone while in intense pain. So I kinda indirectly take it out on people who don't take to my warning that I need to be alone while having one of my more painful moments.

In the same way that Gambit from the X-Men comics releases charges to keep from exploding by kinetic build-up....I release music to vent out my pain from within...mainly psychical but even emotional. I charge up my pain and release it through my beats.

Early this week I had one of my more painful attacks. Usually when I have one of my pain attacks its one or two parts of my body that's hurting. It feels like my muscles are on fire from the inside out. This time is was my entire right arm, in between my right shoulder to my neck, my left thigh muscle, my lower left side of my back and the center of my chest all felt like they were on fire at once. Instead of laying down in pain and trying to move as less as possible which is what I would do normally, I forced myself on to FL Studio 9 and proceeded to make the following beat that you will find at the bottom of this post. I feel as if I transformed my pain into sound format and it screamed into the beat. It's a half-sample...meaning I found a 5 second clip that was in a drum-kit pack that I downloaded, took the piano melody and added my own melody while chopping in completely new melodies...and I turned the piano into an guitar with the new Hardcore filter in FL Studio 9. In other words I did what I felt. I was in tears of pain while doing it but I did it and completed it. This is what was made...


This is the official preview of "SoultapeLvL2:Play The Hand I Was Dealt"...

Update From The 4 Ace Assassin

Shout out to the boy P.A. for the Gambit shirt and the BBDD's(Beats By Dr Dre headphones, for those who don't know), that made my week.
The music has only been getting better, what more can I really say about that.
I feel as if I'm syncing more and more into my xone. My style is building into a detail sound....and I love it.

So much music but its kinda just sitting unfortunately.
The project that me and P.A. have been working on is still in progress but getting the man in the studio on the regular has been the issue as of late. Not has fault but the people who he has to go thru....it just seems as if it always something. But its being worked on so no big worries.

The man Justin Allen...well, I gotta keep quiet about that one but there's some music that will surface up. And from what I've heard....the nigga pretty much 1up himself. It'll be worth the hiatus, I can tell you that much.



"SoultapeLvL2" is being worked on at this point of time. This go around, I want to have it 50% instrumental, 50% artists flowing over my beats. Kinda level it out. P.A., Precyse and Justin Allen is a sure shot bet that they will be on the project. I'm sitting on two other names until I'm completely sure ::evil grin:: but it's looking good.

I'm also got another artist I want to get a few gems completed with. Check out the homie Al.N York ...the man is already a threat, I promise you that. I'm got my fingers crossed to have him apart of "SoultapeLvL2" also.

And for the hell of it, I'mma complete my "SoultapeX:Tekken Remixes" project for the release of my favorite video game Tekken 6 on Oct.27th. Basically I sampled a bunch of Tekken themes and flipped them.
:Fun Fact: "EWGF" beat that is on "SoultapeLvL1" is sampled from Kazuya's theme in Tekken 2:

Thanks to everyone who has given me feedback from the "SoultapeLvL1" project at the beginning and recently. I love when people tell me what they think of it...cause I'm my own worst critic with my music. Mainly cause "LvL1" shows my beginning zones...what I can do now "LvL1" does not properly represent it. It's sounds "dated" to me now but it's still a nice project.



I'll get @ ya'll...6am, need to take my ass to sleep.

6:09 Am (Music Updates)

No shortage on music....that's for damn sure.
Went to my people's crib yesterday and borrowed there CPU to finish up a few beats since I cannot do any of it at home because of the sound issue...smh...that shit is killing me. Soon will be fixed according to P.A..

Speaking of P.A...
this man sent me this beat lastnight while I was at my homegirl's spot and I fell in love with that joint. It's Keyshia Cole sample....he told me that it felt like I was there helping him make the joint. I'll tell you this much, it does sound like one of my joints but you can tell its his style and his work. The joint is still in my head...damnit I wish I had sound now that I'm back at my spot. I would be cranking that joint right now.
Anyway, it will be on the "MaryJane:Not Tonight But Maybe Later" project between P.A. and myself which is still sitting on the 9/11 release date.

Jae Is Going In...
...finally got a hold of this M.I.A. ass nigga of mine(what up homie)and he explain to me what was all going down with the music. I cannot explain as he did so I'll let him do so when he feels its right to do so....but he's coming though. Sent me this one joint....crazy ill...can't wait to hear the rest of the project.

Precyse Done 1up...
This man went to cali and just blacked....enough said.
He has a project on the way also in studio quality.
My homeboy found one of my older beats that I had intended to put on the "SoultapeLvL1" project but my old CPU crashed in January and I lost the FL file. Well I forgot I would do a beat out of boredom at his spot and there was the damn FL file. The beat was called "Soul Serious"...I know I posted the imeen-link for it on here months ago of the original beat....yesterday I upgraded cause it sound madd dated and sent it to the boy Precyse. See if he digs it. It sounds 5x better than the original version. Mainly cause that was the 5th beat I ever did....and yes...I kinda 1up since then.

Other Works...
Yesterday I also finished the beat with the Nas' "Queens Get The Money" sample for the boy P.A. and that will be on "The Amazing SpiderMan" project...which will drop not far after the "MaryJane" project. I hope to get both P.A. and Justin Allen on that track....its fuckin' epic!.

Friday....right before the headphones shorted out...I finished a beat containing a 12 piece sample. Meaning, I took one sample and sampled it 12 times in one beat....also meaning (lol) that there are mad change ups. I sent it to someone that day but got no response but then Jae picked it up and gave it the blessing it so deserved. U will hear that soon on Justin's next project.

I'm trying to learn how to put acapellas in FL Studio and lay them over a beat so I can start my remix project sometime this year. Anyone know how to do this specifically?
If I learn I have two projects in mind....a various remix project and an 2Pac remix project(I have over 90 2Pac acapellas).

Soultape LvL2 is somewhat already being started. I got to hit a few people up on the beats that there sitting on and not using. Cause I want those to be heard with or without vocals. If I had to take a guess on when I might finish this project....maybe Oct/Nov....maybe even alittle sooner. I already have plans and ideas for SoultapeLvL3...but I don't want to get ahead of myself. "LvL2" will be more alive than "LvL1"...meaning it will be alittle more than just beats. It will be the way its layed out...almost like some movie type stuff.

Ok...time to sleep....been up since yesterday. I went crazy once I finally got to touch my music again(pause)...those two days without putting out creativity was driving me depressed. I'll hit up my favorite blogs after I get some rest.
Politic with all ya'll soon

Oh and hit me up on AIM ya'll

Music Updates....

Been gone alittle bit from the blog, had a few things to deal with over the weekend but all is well and better. P.A./Gambitt project is coming nearly to being finish, you can almost feel it in the air.....ok that was a bit far but whatever. Beat wise it maybe 75%-80% done, I'mma prepare two more beats to an good guess of 8 that we already have between both P.A. and myself. It maybe more than 8 actually but I'm just guessing. The release date is still 9/11/09 and P.A. has already done a bit of recording. So pretty much, so far so good and the experience in making this project has been great. Like P.A. said, we kinda brought the best out of each other while making this project. He's stepped up far as production and so have I. Hope to have some more previews soon as we get some of the tracks mixed down.

Just finished a instrumental for Precyse (what up, cuz) that was way over due and I got to make Joe Cool (where u @ my dude?)his project cover that looks a bit like this...

...which hopefully I can get ol'boy an exclusive beat for it. Along with one or two that maybe on there already from the "SoultapeLvl1" beat project.

In between taking small breaks from me and P.A.'s project I been sending Justin (Justin Allen) instrumentals and he's has blessed all of them. So I wouldn't be too surprised if you saw the Justin Allen/Gambitt project released quickly after P.A.'s project with myself. I told ya'll it was gonna be an active summer. Now that I got my official team. So once again...

P.A./Gambitt - MaryJane:Not Tonight,But Maybe Later Issue#1 (9/11/09)
Justin Allen/Gambitt - ???????? (End Of Summer)
Gambitt - SoultapeLvL2:Zero Tearz, Maximum Pain(Fall)
Gambitt(vocal/flow project) - Untold Skillz Of The 4 Ace Assassin(L8ter But Soon)

One Week Later...

The Support/Feedback
Shout out to everyone that give me feedback both on and off the internet.

*Yung Nate, Woody, and Precyse for posting the project on there blogs
*Precyse for the crazy support, I got u cuz.
*Woody, for just being coo and giving me props about the project, he actually digged it.
*Yung Nate for putting up with my early amauter work lol, thanx my dude.
*P.A., Justin Allen (Jae Alz), Joe Cool, Little Miss Knobody. thehoustongirl, Cyph3r Blaz3, everyone who visits the blog.

The After Effects
During the week I let the project go I pretty much chilled with music to focus more about finding a new job. I just gotta wait until the car gets here than I can go back to my old job so thats good.

Part of me taking a break from music last week was because my lights had got cut off but everything is coo now, got the power back in the same week.
Managed to actually smoke a blunt or two for the 1st time in awhile with how rough things been. I feel more relaxed and eager to get back into creating.

With that being said this is what's going down.

*P.A. is starting his "Mary Jane"(Spider Man's Mary Jane....not my "Mary Jane" lol) project and I'm putting in my work to help him and I think its gonna come out epic. Ol'boy is real serious and deep about how he's crafting. It will def. be something to check out. I completed one beat for him this weekend sampling....well, I won't expose that much yet but trust me, its throwed. So most of my time will be into adding my touch to P.A.'s project.

*In between P.A.'s project I'mma crank out a beat or two for the boy Precyse and the one MJ sample beat that I'm suppose to give to Joe Cool. I had done it way before he passed but I lost it. Both the FL file and the mp3 export so I gotta redo it. Normally I'll be pissed but that was my 2nd serious beat originally so knowing what I know now it should come out awhole lot better.

*After I clear P.A.'s project, I want to try and build a project for my boy Justin(Jae Alz) and see what happens. He's one of those cats that you can see and hear his passion for music when you meet him. I got crazy respect for dude.

*SoultapeLvL2 is coming.
I have samples reserved for that and it will be a bit deeper, thats all I can really give u about that for now. But it basically will pick up where the "EWGF" beat left off from.

I'll blog alittle more later, bout to put in some more work. Get 2 me ya'll. I'm out 'chea.
