Nina Simone Beat Tape
My tribute to Nina Simone. A beat tape I made from nothing but Nina Simone samples. I want to do a whole collection of the greats for a lounge series(Charlie Parker,Thelonius Monk,Billy Holiday etc.). It's mellowy trip hop hip hop. The kind of music I grew up on during my emo phase(smoked out and wishing you were an alien but still want to do art). I listened to alot of Nina then and fell in love with her music. Plus I picked up some books on her at the second hand and they kept saying she was a little crazy. I always love artists that "they" say are crazy.

Another dope Artist....... MORUF!
So it's happening again like whatever year that was when Ruff Ryders was jumping off and pherrell and the neptunes just came in, right after that new ass Virginia Timbaland sound had becomes it's own. It's happening! Crazy new talent is pouring itself into this present time from Dom Kennedy(Who I must say in 2011 watch out) to B.O.B to Pac Div and the mutha mutha Cool Kids. It's a lot of talented MC's with a lot of dope beats out here amongst the bullshit we're hearing. Well in my book MORUF is another cat that's mad sincere with the lyrics and highly capable of keeping up with the best of what the new has to offer. I cam up on him just a few weeks ago and then finally listened to his latest project Garden State of Mind:Ready to live.......the shits dope. It takes me back to a time when niggas still had to blow on catridges to get them to work, the good ol days with a sense of now. Check the Jersey boy out it's worth it.
