first ep....

Well last year sometime i decided that i wanted to put something down,an record songs that i had been performing for the last few years.Never really been a big fan of recording,i thought that the timing was right an that i was ready to put these songs down an move on.

So this being my first ever release i wanted to record something that i was proud of an that truly represented me in my music an what i was doing now.I had been given heaps of beats from the homie ta-ku as we were in talks about doing an ep together,so beats i had heaps,but just didn't feel right doing an ep with me just rapping over beats.Did that truly repp me an what i was doing?nah.

So then i came up with the concept of doing 4tracks over beats,an then doing the same 4tracks,but over a acoustic guitar arrangement.This sat well with me,because some songs that I've done over a beat have came from me writing it over a guitar riff first an vice versa,so it was only fitting that i do it this way.

Now what was the next step???i had no clue how to go about all this all,pretty Green when it comes to this stuff.So i had the tracks an had finally finalised the beats after hearing so many.Id use 2beats from ta-ku,1beat each from haz (homebrew) an another local beatsmith alphanumerics.Much love to them as well for hooking us up with the beats to braddas,chyea boi.

So after that had to record,but because i was doing the acoustics i had to find a place where i could get decent recordings for both, as both had to be recorded differently.Had a couple mates lined up an a couple kind offers,but then got put on to my mate Amy"missle" who worked at sae (sound audio engineering).She worked an studied their an had access to their flash az recording studios.To cut a long story short,she needed to do a project for school an needed someone to record,i needed a place where i could record vocals for the beats an acoustic guitar as well,so we made it happen an we went into work.
