2 NEW BEATS

Over the past week I've been on a curious fix of The-Dream, The Lox, and assorted Ski Beatz productions. These inspirations fueled a new beat of mine, a hybrid between classic NY styles and more modern, hip-pop synth elements. The result is "New Stack City." Here are three tracks in particular that shaped the construction of my new tracks. Check 'em out:

#1. The-Dream Feat. Kanye West - "Walking on the Moon"


#2. The Lox - "Let's Start Rap Over"


#3. Jay-Z - "Dead Presidents II" (Prod. by Ski Beatz)


So after dieting on these tracks (as well as others), this is what I arrived at:

"New Stack City" - Prod. by StackBeats








Also, for a little extra taste, here is a sneak peek of another beat I threw together in an hour or so last week. Not necessarily the same inspiration as above, but equally focused on alternating synth layers, odd drums combos, etc.

"Escape From Earth" - Prod. by StackBeats








It's been a while since I've posted or shared any of my originals, but as always comments and feedback are appreciated as this is a work is progress. Thanks.
