arabian nights

This week I am really pleased wink
I 've made a version with some wutang acapella which just fits perfect.
But due to copyright reasons I cannot share.
But on the other hand If you have world class vocals on your beat... it's a bit like cheating.
So I am glad to share the instrumental smile

But if you are intrested we can make it a game...
just google cream acapella (in a second browser browser tab)it should be one of the first hits.
start my track
on the first drum beat hit play on the acapella...
The first verse should fit quite nice...


Have a nice week!

I will attempt to sync up the vocals later, but the beat by itself is fantastically phat and the little middle eastern touches are very nice indeed.

at it again!! great beat dude, ill try n sync the acapella at some point wink

Yes, that link works perfectly. Great instrumental track, too. Hip hop at its best, G.

This is such a dope track, love the drums and middle eastern strings, piano reminds me of old Rza productions, c.r.e.a.m. is one of my all time favourite songs, Raekwon's lyrics go great with this

Heh. Copyright avoidance at it's very best. Good dodge.

Huh thanks!
I am really honored if you say that the original is one of your favorites!

The instrumental is great in itself. The strings are a nice touch.
Clever copyright loophole, worked very well.
Leaving both tabs open and playing after your track was finished created some quite amusing mashups :-)

this is a sweeeeet instrumental, but I don't know how I didn't recognize your sample based beats until your week 52 post sad... what do you use for sampling? listening through more of your beats now, nice work!

Thanks man!
I use nearly everything I have at hand.
I think these are recorded from some vids directly into the daw.
I 've bought a used MPC a few weeks ago... So I use more and more records now, I think you get a different feeling for your samples.
The accordeon players are recorded with a smartphone and than recorded again with the MPC... I was to lazy to do it with the CF Card wink
Didn't you mention that you have some things at bandcamp? I didn't find it... maybe you send me the link again...
Thanks again... Hope to hear you on next WeeklyBeats!
