DND AKA Jew Hefner wrote on September 30, 2009:

Hey if u have a lil time on ur hands please review my latest track Here In The Ghetto (Jew-Mix)

This is for a Jamglue remix, it's more a show of my lyrical prowess and talent than anything else. I just had so much to say that I thought putting a hook in would hurt my emotion and flow on the track. Anyway this is probably more suited for a hip hop head than anything else. This track aint for the mainstream. If you like artists such as Eminem, D12, Bassmint Productions, Bad Meets Evil, Soul Intent, Lady Gaga, Ne-Yo, Black Eyed Peas (namely their old stuff), P-Money, Scribe and cats like that this is the track for you.

Also it may be a bit offensive to some so don't listen if u cant take the heat!! Lol

St. Paul wrote on March 3, 2009:

I would. I'm a drummer, who has replaced his drum set for a digital sampler and drum machine. I think like a drummer, and like that organic feel of a real human in my production. I also program keyboard and sound effects. Let me know what you have in mind. I am also looking to learn more about film scoring, perhaps you may have some advice...
