hip hop, jazz

a little mix i just composed not so long ago

in preparation for the Jazz Amnesty Sound System‘s appearance at the 18th annual Under Pressure International Graffiti Convention I have composed a set of jazz inspired hip hop, jazzy instrumental beats and heavily sampled funky jazz cuts to better help connect the dots between these two American born forms of musical expression.

rock 'n' roll

The Hairiest Mixtape

you’re back in the woods with your cousin and a buddy drinkin’ beer out the back of his truck. when along comes buddy’s older brother. he strolls up, grabs a beer and jams a mixtape into the car stereo. the rest of the night is spent in a gradual stupor listening to amazing obscure early seventies rock; bands whose names you haven’t heard since.
