So yesterdays session worked out just fine. After beating my hangover into submission via tons of caffeine, coconut water, and a pearls buffalo burger, I stopped by The Hundreds to holler at the rellies. Humble as always, Alexander Spit did not bother to mention that his newest video had just hit the internet, and so, I discovered once arriving back at the crib johnson that Alex is crushing every single person right now with that Beat For the Street. After my second viewing, the inspiration had begun to build which I took to The Mission to meet Philo for another Ironfist session.

So far, the vast majority of the songs weve been working on are sample heavy, real throwback, 93 type stuff. You know, backpacks and all that? Setting us apart of course is the fact that we would never mention how we’re taking it back or real hiphop or the rest of that crap that rappers put in their shit to help their listeners decide if theyre real hiphop or on their side or not. I like to think our listeners are intelligent enough to figure it out for themselves. Anyway, what I was getting to is that, the beat we worked on yesterday was not one of these songs. Philo destroys these super synth heavy beats and I found this one more unique than anything he had ever done in the same vein. At 72 bpms, a 16 bar verse feels like 24, and so we each wrote a 24. We did not wrap it up, but the two verses turned out to be ridiculous. Next session were gonna write a 16 together for the middle verse, some back and forth shit, which I think we are really good at but have not introduced into the equation of the new album up to this point. We talked afterwards and decided this may be a great opportunity to get Monique on a track. You may have seen her singing at one of our shows, but if not, when the new Fist Fam cd is released, you will know her well. Shes great because besides the fact that she has a great voice, she can actually write really well. A breath of fresh air I assure you.

It may not look like much, but really this is all for pre-production. Our process is, drink, write, record, get the song exactly how we want it and iron out any kinks, then head over to the homie Irish Ricky’s studio for the actual vocals. We haven’t had an Ironfist session their yet but I did a verse for the Crazy Mob album and it all sounds real smooth, you’ll see. Anyway, I just ordered a Flip Hd Camera which should be coming next week, and soon after Ill be posting some videos of the studio and public drunkeness. If you dont know already, Fist Fam is playing the cd release party for our friends Gas Mask Colony tonite at El Rincon with a bunch of acts so fall through! Until next time…
