^It was never meant to be on the album. We did it 100% as a bonus track to be released after the album dropped.

Just hearing this bonus track. Mean! Album was already dope but this addition is making it even crazier.

blockhead you should consider branching out and doing some EDM type stuff, this hip hop stuff, with annoying flutes and shit, its real whack. nobody wants to hear this shit. EDM is whats hot.

Thanks for the advice, bro. I'll be sure to take it into deep consideration. Life advice from Hustler is always an eye opener.

Got my copy of JustPlayWitIt over the weekend, bumped it like 5 times in a row. Fire. I assume several, if not all, of these beats were made specifically for Spekt. Either way, you definitely took your production in a new direction with this one. (Same could be said for Dour Candy IMO.) Great work. Very glad this exists.

Thanks dude.
I can't say I really make specific beats for anyone. I make them and they pick them. In Spekt's case, he went for a particular mood. I was real happy with the direction he took cause it did get to show a different side of the kind of bats I generally make.

Yeah, it's funny. Spekt, Woods and Illogic were all picking beats at the same time and there was really no overlap in the type of tracks they chose. They all had a very specific ear for the kinda tracks they wanted to make.

Nice flutes bro. You should recreate the Herbie Man Push album cover for this release.

No homo of course.

Really digging it by the way.

Not really. At all. But, in general, i see now you and hustler have both peeked your head into this thread...can we just not start this here? This is an alpha free zone. Good day and god bless.

not trying to start anything, it was just an observational joke

believe it or not, I respect your hustle, and while it's not really in my wheelhouse, I wish you nothing, but the best with your music career

I know this thread is a bit of a promotional tool for you, so I'll keep it moving :megaman:

I didn't even realize there was a min SXSW thing going on.
Austin was awesome. It usually is. Definitely one of my favorite spots to play in.
