Back 2 Tha Roots - Kingmadi

7th Feb 2017 04:40 - 9 years ago
Description : I wanted to wait to post this, but here's some music that's more hyped up, energetic, and fun. This is my official lead single to an upcoming album I'll release probably in the summer. This song was worked on SOO hard and is much more professional than my first singles and songs from my debut album "Newstalgia", so please give it a listen. The vocals are mixed to the best standard they can be, the song was mastered professionally, and I even sampled a few loops from Cameo's "Rigor Mortis", hence the name Back 2 tha Roots. Since this is my official single, it's available everywhere including itunes, google play, spotify, etc. Please support a brotha lol! And as always, let me know what you think! Any advice or compliments are appreciated:)!
PS if you want to add annotations to my songs on GENIUS go ahead!

Hi Kingmadi,

I don't blame you for being excited, as these as some of the songs I danced to in my youth. Cameo crossed over with "Word Up" and "She's Strange", but they were big in the black community long before they crossed over. That being said, you've used a number of very recognizable samples. I'm going to go with guessing that you've already got copyright clearance on these.

If so, I wish you all the best.

Super jammin track you've done here! I dig it! Seems like you put a lot of effort and energy into the recordings. I also like the title of the album "Newstalgia," as it makes perfect sense in regards to recent time and music. Sounds like you have a hit here! I wish you the best of luck with the new releases! Thanks for the DL! Fave!

Description : It was one of those lazy Saturdays and I was like "Lemme open FL Studio and see wassup", and this is what I came up with. It was an experimental track with MychMych's acapella, but I ended up enjoying the vibe.
I hope y'all can vibe with it!

Description : One of my favorites...
I found that sample; I don't remember if it was the Mandrils or not, but after chopping, splicing and dicing, the painting sounded amazing! I had to put pencil to paper (it was 2010). Before I knew it, maybe 20 mins went by and I was done.

I created, wrote, recorded, arranged, mixed and put a small master on it in about an hour. I added a good music friend Jus J. to the end about a week later.

You won't be disappointed.

Description : When I made this beat, I had only been learning how to create beats for about two years-back then, I was using FL 9. It took me a huge amount of time to figure out how to use FL Studio, lol.
As you can probably hear,
I don't use any loops.
