We made the original CDLU album in 6days….
This track was one out of 15 that was given to me to chisel out. 1st, I was happy to do a track featuring Amir because I had been following his work for a while. And I liked the Dub Reggae vibe of the bass. The track instantly placed me in the tropics…some jungle somewhere where fruits
grew abundantly, snakes didn’t bite and the women all like exotic flowers “adorned with galaxies, and saturated with the softness of manners…”If you could only see the picture in my mind!
This song was done IN ONE TAKE. If you listen carefully, you can here where after the first verse Its mostly stream of conscious imagery popping up in my head . A Poetic freestyle. This was easy because of the pace of the delivery. My first instinct was to rap in double or triple time on it but..(LOL-) When I originally told Anas I didn’t know what to do yet on the track, he shrugged and said- “Just talk some smooth sh%* on it”
“Oh” .
I wrote a few lines down and said
“Lets go..”
This is the finished result….
Enjoy.
