Here's a grungy hip hop thing started in MPC and ported to Logic for additional love. I must have accidentally nudged my bpm in MPC. What was expected to be 90bpm was +1 when I pulled it into Logic. The drum transients have some dirt that I couldn't quite taper and I also need to work on the compression. I kind of quit on it mid week. I like the dirty feel of it though.

Awesome vibes and sounds on this one Cakes! That punchy beat and those pads are hitting a real sweet spot together. Feels gritty but keeps tight! big_smile

oooh i'm very into those drums. the low end sounds badass, really cool mix!

Its good dirt. Drums way open and awesome, the rabid transients are amazing and like, if you worked on this more or pulled this into another track, just imagine how fucking awesome they would sound if you suddenly lowpassed them on a breakdown... this is great as is but there's tons of potential for future tracks too heart

The open hihat is excellent, perfectly bright. Huge fan of the lowkey melodies adding the emotional depth. Nice tune.

Very big and punchy with nice melodies that pull it all together well

Filthy dirty distorted drums! Huge and super punchy. Hell yeah.

Loving the gritty feel to the drums. I could easily hear Busta Rhymes or MF Doom rapping over this.  Feeling those awesome drum hits in my chest. \m/ Excellent work!
