How I Work With Others
Overview
It's hard to find other MC's who can match my passion and work ethic when focused on a project... I'm pretty flexible to how i record; sometimes i write to the beat first and record, sometimes i write first and match the verse/s to a beat that suits the mood, sometimes i write to something and record the verse/s to something completely different; whatever makes good music is all that matters to me... i've started this profile in the hopes finding like minded artists; especially producers who will match my efforts commitment to record REAL hip-hop. I like to approach recording much like Pac did; soldier up for hours/days in the studio and just do as much as we can.... As long as the inspiration is still buzzing; i can go as long as anybody... I'm available as a ghost writer to any artists interested, guest spots on tracks with other artists... I have experience collabing w/ other artists through Indaba and it has been a great experience... I'm looking forward to collaborating w/ many talented artists in the future on Indaba...I also enjoy the challenge of collaborating with artists outside of the hip-hop genre as well, so... ANYBODY interested; let's do it!
