Finally it’s here! This is the FIRST in a quarterly series of short instrumental projects that I’ll be putting out through this site as digital downloads. Each project will be approached in a different way and have a completely different direction in sound — although, this ‘First’ installment is more of an introduction to my sound. Everything is made in either Reason 3.0, 4.0 or a combination of both. I then bring the separate beats together with Cool Edit(Yes, Cool Edit; not Adobe Audition) and bounce out an mp3. Ideally what I’d like to do with this project is to keep everything as FREE as possible, which means if you’re a vocalist, or an MC, and would like to use any of the music you hear on these projects, by all means, go right ahead. Use them on mixtapes, albums, ringtones whatever. My only small request is that you credit me whenever possible — That’s it. Also if you’re a producer, and you hear some open drums go ahead and chop’em and use them on your next track. Just don’t be a loser and try and pass any of this stuff off as your own creations. Be True.
You can stream the project below by clicking Play, or you can download the full mp3 with the cover art. Speaking of cover art, shouts to my homie Letman out in Amsterdam who did this entire cover completely by hand. So go and grab a listen, and let me know what you think in the comment section. Try to keep the criticism constructive because remember “I’m an artist and I’m sensitive about my shit” (© Erykah Badu; cop the album tomorrow!)

heard you cut your dreds a minute ago. keep me posted on stuff n things.
party in my backyard on 7/12 - deets later. derek
WOW!! your style is crazy you gotta let the world hear this. what is your studio setup?
Been through and snatched it while I was in. Nothing less than what I expected. You gotta keep it up dude, you’re def blessed.
If I use anything you’ll know.
Tight shit. How can i incorperate those sounds with a fantom x7. Im a beginner.
Hey Teddie Bookie,
Thanks. I’m not sure man…I’ve never used the Fantom before. I hear it comes with some CRAZy sounds though.
Dope man having listened to a lot of your tracks I hear where some of the samples are from.
I’ve probably listened to this 25 times! Dope beats.
Thanks Mike & Def!!!
hot instrumental album!! i also use reason too and its amazing!
Hot beat tape man the beat with the kanye & common’s accapella is definitly my fav! do you had some sound other than reason sounds? do u play the rhodes etc on your beats ?keep it up very impressive
may: Thans alot!
Yeah, I don’t really use the sounds that come with Reason too much. I’ve got a ton of Refills that I pull sounds from. I do use the Synths in Reason though. THOR is CRAZY.
thanks man which refill do u recomend i use reason as my main tool i sample a lot but i like to add some strings rhodes and stuffs t give natural feeling to my beats but i’m pretty disapointed with the reason stock sounds :( lol
Got the 2nd pair too!
Album is dope!
Laters, Job
May: There’s tons of really good Refills out there. I would say I probably use the Electro Mechanical 2.0 refill the most. That’s where I get all of my rhodes, organs, etc. It’s SICK.
Thanks Job! Been hearing good stuff about the album cover.
Algorythm - The Remake, how and where can I get a copy of it. Thanks!
BUGGZ: Man, The Remake is way out of print. I don’t even think I have a copy on me. My homie Substantial MIGHT have a couple on him, that could go for maybe $5. I’ll ask him and hit you with an email when I know what’s up.
Yeah, get back at me if you find anything out from Substantial. I would defiantely love to own a copy of the remake! Peace!
just downloading the album man, love the samples on the main page. keep up the work man :)
Thanks Darion! ’Preciate it.
Yo, the joints are ill homie! I ain’t gonna lie, I’m heated you used that Smokey loop! I had it chopped for almost a year but never got to it. But you did it justice! Joints is ill, I have 2 (possibly 3 projects) in the works. I’m definitely gonna use 1 or 2 of these. Love ya snares, they got a smooth snap on them, real crisp. Hit me on email or myspace. 100
Ayo THANKS Kin, Soon as I heard that Smokey joint I just had to loop it up…HaHa…Hit me up when you get something recorded!
