“Another nice one. Playful vibe with an old skool female rap sample, light guitar stabs and some reverse sounding vocals easing in and out.. ”

Track: Make It Fast Mega Mix (Unadulterated Mix) (feat. Diz Gibran)
(
$0.71
)
Album: Jay Stay Paid
Artist: J Dilla
“Part 1 is a soulful but spare instrumental beat. On part 2 Dilla drops some underwater funk. MC Diz, sounding a bit like a younger brother (or maybe: son?) of Lord Finesse, delivers clever, confident and sharp rhymes over this understated beat, again with some really cool female vocals on the hook.. (J'Davey??). Oh and part 3 is the one and only DJ PRemier talking about Dilla, stating the dictionary needs new words to come clsoe to describe the man's music, like "astronomicalnomicanomical"!!! Nod and smile.”

“Slowmid rumbling track, really lofi sounding with some percussive key stabs and a vocal snippet every now and then. Could've fitted well on Ruff Draft.”

“This self-produced track showcases Charles' multiple skills. He is a talented lyricist; clever metaphors and implications can be heard here.”
