Kind of enjoyed this one.

Made this a few days ago… kind of a nice switch up/return to comfort zone after a couple months of making more melodic stuff with no samples.

Made a new beat tape this week for the SPBB.

Got lost in the sauce so this thing is over 13 minutes!

Bounced to my new JVC deck before i hit it with copious SP-303 VINYL SIM

Line up was SP-404mkii, Sp-404, Sp-303 (2) JVC TD-W201 deck!

Art is from battle and made by one the hosts: UJFR!

Hope you dig!

this got me stoked!

And as a SoCal native of a certain age… “Inside Socal” is a documentary, not a sketch comedy bit. The most specific detail is the way we would use the first and last for certain guys, and nicknames for others. there was no logic to it. the transition to kick back to “chill sesh” was a magical moment. Shoutout to all the homies back in OB :call_me_hand:

I’m from OB. I agree the skits are hilariously and somewhat embarrassingly accurate to growing up here. You can that the creator is from here too!

They had one copy of 36 Chambers at my local record shop. Looks like they reissued the cassette for the concert yesterday. This must have been leftover merch.

i was listening to a remix of soulja boy’s gucci bandana today and i think the line “i leaked every song and i still went platinum” may be my favorite line from early internet era hip hop
