BEHIND THE MUSIC: Under The Influence

“Dropped the mixtape, that shit sounded like an album…”

My forthcoming project Under The Influence wasn’t meant to be an album, per say. The idea started out as just a mixtape, with the main idea being that I wanted some music out for summer, that was available for free. I planned to have a few original songs on there, but to use a lot of famous beats as well. Mixtapes like So Far Gone, Friday Night Lights, nostalgia/ultra had dominated my iTunes in recent times, and I wanted to make something in a similar vein.

The turning point from mixtape to album was when I started working with a pretty unknown producer named Matt Miller. I was checking out his SoundCloud page and liked how he’d taken well known tracks, flipped them and made them his own. His production style was pretty raw, but I liked the DIY nature of it. I wrote to a few beats he had out, and pretty soon we had a good group of songs together. I would send him tracks to sample, interested to see what he would come up with. I was impressed every time with where he took them.

We ended up with 12 songs, and I realized what had started out as me trying to make a mixtape that sounded like an album, was actually an album with the soul of mixtape. There’s some big samples on there, and its free like a mixtape, but Matt still hand crafted all the beats himself.

The song we’re dropping tomorrow is “Stranger (Pt. 1 & 2)” and is a perfect reflection of the whole album. A reworking of a song everyone will recognize, but still far from a simple rap over the original. I feel we made it our own.
