I remember the first beat I ever sold….
I was up all night working on my smoke gray MPC 2000XL (I know I may be dating myself here but it’s all good lol).
I had just bought it used from Guitar Center a few days prior for around $900 bucks.
I opted to buy this much-acclaimed drum machine instead of making a down payment on some new wheels that winter. I didn’t have a car at the time and we were in the middle of one of the coldest winters that Atlanta has seen in a long time.
So you’re in the lab cooking up some new 🔥.
You’ve laid a sick chord progression and you’re ready to add some banging drums!
The drum pattern you’ve put down is cool, but it’s flat. Something is out of place.
The beat is nice but it doesn’t have your head nodding back and forth yet.
You start to panic because your new artist has a deadline that’s quickly approaching.
The last batch of beats you sent out were straight bangers! So you know you GOTTA come with that heat rock again.
And there’s no way you can disappoint.
Thank you for taking the time to visit. Salute! - Black Joey
