"Oh, you mean THIS shirt? Yeah... That's Caesar"

…& Listen!

I’ve been in the studio with this kid working on a few things for his project(s)¹. He’s super talented & a really really REALLY good dude. He’s fam’… He just needs to break bread over at my place (aka have a meal at my place with my family & friends [oxtail from Island Spice anyone?]) , meet my wife & babysit my daughters at LEAST once.

Note:

1. See “Cris Keys“
2. Scroll over the photo of Cris Cab killin’ it on stage to download this gem of a freebie. Oh & you’re welcome!

Shouts:

• My best friend/manager Daniel C. Glogower of Skyscraper Management MARCH Management… I’ll admit, I wasn’t a “believer” at first but now after hearing (and witnessing) Cris at work… I publicly go on record & admit: You saw the vision WAY before I did. Holy sh*t! I’m ready to purchase Cris Cab’s music from iTunes right NOW! He’s come a LONG way and, just to think, he’s JUST getting warmed up. #BeastMode
• To the homey Skateboard P. for getting in the studio with Cris Cab & delivering this heat rock. Dope!

Well I, for one, personally think we got a hit on our hands. I’m jus’ sayin’… #KanyeShrug

Shouts:

• To Wyclef for acting on basic instinct & jetting over to the studio upon hearing the beat over the phone.
• AT&T for having good service.
• To m’man Wentz for staying an extra 45 minutes to help see this beat through by tickling the proverbial ivories… Even though it was REALLY plastic (keyboard).

It’s coming!

Shouts:

• Sean C. (aka Citizen Cane) for reaching out & “recruiting me”.
• Jonathan Hayes & Dan Gill for ALL of your help, conversations & generosity.
• Jack O’Donnell for seeing the vision & knowing exactly which steps to take to see it through & make it happen. You are the leader!
• Roger Linn for creating my buddy Raw Dawg… I’ll forever be grateful.
• Q-Tip… One of my heroes ’til this day & beyond. I wouldn’t even be in the game or know how to do shit had it not been for Peoples’ Instinctive Travels & The Paths of Rhythm. Thanks for that one Chief. With every mere mention of this album forces me to revisit it SO… *opens iTunes*
• Oh & Shannon n’ Matt in shipping.

Post Script: And “yes”… That IS yours truly posing with the one & only Raw Dawg @ 1:05. Your eyes do not deceive you. So as more is revealed about this great piece of life changing equipment & the steps involved in creating it, I shall post more (insider’s) detail if I’m allowed to.

So… No one’s going to check Siri for dropping the N-Bomb like that? First y’all letting V-Nasty slide & now THIS?!? C’Mon son… Someone should’ve BEEN slapped–

*dead*

This is a song I produced which was going to appear on my mix tape I’ve been cookin’ up with Mick Boogie. This is now on OnCue‘s mix tape called Can’t Wait.

If you like what you hear please do the following: DOWNLOAD, COMMENT, SHARE & ENJOY!

Fun Fact: This is one of about 30 beats from my beat tape I made a while back which many of you, for some crazy reason, thought was an instrumental album I was dropping. The beat tape was called Eat Good… Shit Good! I got a few heavyweight artists who grabbed beats off of here including Talib Kweli, The Throne, Ludacris & a few other (eye poppin’ chart toppin’ artists whom you’d be surprised once word gets out that I’m working with them they’re working with me.

Shouts:

• OnCue, going to need a replacement joint ASAP!
• Mick Boogie I Can’t Wait until we put this mix tape out. Locksmith Music all day!
• Mike Posner when are you going to lay them vocals down on that joint homey? I’m itching to here what the song will sound like. Yup!

Post Script: I rarely “hear” an artist on any beats I make but this particular beat I always heard Common on. OnCue most definitely did his thing though so I ain’t mad.

Uh… Does anything SOUND familiar to you here? Besides Denzel’s voice?

Although I don’t particularly care for movies too much (or at all actually) I guess I should go see this one right? *Kanye shrug*
