I skipped posting
something special yesterday to give myself a
breather and work on something new instead. Pretty happy with how these came
out although there is nothing worse then spending an entire day making
something and then facing a roadblock at the last step;
Soundcloud wouldn’t let
me upload one of the tracks due to DRM issues with what I imagine must have
been the
Ian Brown track used. I like to try and keep everything in one place
so when I have to stream one random track someplace else, frankly it’s
annoying. Whatever the case I figured I’d go with
Mixcloud and also create a
download link since they don’t offer the option as such.
On that note first up is “
Forever Fearful,” which took me a
stupid amount of time to get just the way I wanted. Sometimes these things can
take an hour or two; sometimes they can take nine or ten. This was one of those
painfully long ones.
The music is
handled by the aforementioned,
Ian Brown by way of his song, “
F.E.A.R.,” while
the vocals come courtesy of
Drake,
Kanye West and
Lil’ Wayne’s “
Forever.”

Next up is something I came up with spontaneously after hearing
Fossa’s new tune “
Bae.” I figured it be fun to try something out that fit the contemporary landscape after spending so much of my day on the retro based “F
orever Fearful.” I’d been sitting on a bunch of
Future acapella’s for a while and “
Honest” fit the vibe I was looking for nicely. The irony isn’t lost on me that I only just properly heard the
Future track right now for the first time as reference for what I’m writing here!
