I Love You So - Starting From Scratch - The Illestrated EP (2004)
0Back in the day, we didn't have much in terms of finding beats like we do now with beatstars.com, soundclick, airbit, youtube, etc. We had rapmusic.com and a forum. And Soleternity was one of my favorite producers on rapmusic.com. Probably right next to Shodown of Rockit Productions - he was my favorite and an absolute beast of a producer. Anyway, I'd literally sit there and listen to the instrumentals on repeat, because you could just vibe to em without having any words laid down. I remember telling Shane I wanted to use something like this, but I couldn't do it justice - I wasn't a singer and most of Sole's beats aren't really meant for rapping. So, I played a few for shane and he just broke out the notebook and went to work.
Random ass fact: There's a feint humming in the background when we recorded this. I had to rig up some custom wiring because the power adapter for my mic died. We didn't have amazon prime and none of the stores around here sold stuff like that - so getting that replaced actually meant waiting around for shit to come in the mail. We still got it done though and I'm glad we put something together using one of Soleternity's beats, because I crossed that off my list.
