14KT “Barefooted" (unreleased beat 07')

This was April 2007. The blurry camera footage age. 
My brother, an amazing emcee by the name of Ozay Moore (a.k.a Othello of LightHeaded) was coming to my house in Ypsilanti, Michigan for a session. While I was waiting for him to show up, I started working on this beat. 

As soon as he got to the house, Ozay grabbed his camera and started recording - which I'm glad he did. In this video, he caught me sharing a little bit of my process of making beats using Adobe Audition 1.5 on PC - which was my favorite version of that software. All of my beats were made "cut and paste" style using my cpu mouse. 

It wasn't until six years after this video, I finally bought a Maschine MK1 and started using the drum pads to make beats! 

Also, check out the beat tape I made around this time : '06-'07 [Full Time Tape]
