Hip Hop / Rap Lyricist at your service!

[TeeDiggity]

Hey all,

 

As I hone my skills and work towards getting arrangements together that will meet the criteria of you fabulous contributors, I'd like to share a very small sampling of some of the work I've done so far, as well as offer my assistance in any collaborative effort you may find yourself needing help with

 

As a disclaimer, I should state now that the following tracks being linked may contain language that is NSFW. Listen at your own discretion. 

 

Growing up, I was really into hip hop (I'd rather not talk about the state of the genre today), so I experimented early with sequencing and drum machines. My other passion, naturally, was video games, which you'll see have a strong presence in almost everything I've done thus far.

 

It'll be quite clear to the good people at OC Remix that these works are not fit for submission as unique arrangements - most of the instrumentals featured are meant to have lyrics placed on top and, as such, don't change up terribly often. At any rate, I did want to share them with you all so you can A) get a good idea of what I'm about as a lyricist and see how I've used a video-game-centric childhood to drive my personal flavor of hip hop. 

 

Without further Ado:

 

The Empire Strikes Back - A Musical Emergency *LOW QUALITY WARNING*

• In a very NSFW track, I play Han Solo, frustrated by his love scene being interrupted by C-3P0

Sound Cloud - Buster's Word:    https://soundcloud.com/busters-word

• Tetris - Instrumental Hip Hop beat using Music C from NES Tetris
• Chrono Trigger - Instrumental, up-beat hip hop instrumental using Gato's Theme from Chrono Trigger
• Mercury [NSFW] - Full Hip Hop Track (Beat + Lyrics) utilizing a sample from the second Pirates of the Caribbean movie
• Of the Giants [NSFW] - Full Hip Hop Track (Beat + Lyrics) utilizing a sample from Kingdom Hearts (Destati) (can you point out all of the videogame references??)
• Ship Hold [NSFW] - Full Hip Hop Track (Beat + Lyrics) utilizing sample from the "Ship Hold" from the DKC2 OST (David Wise is my hero).

Let me know what your thoughts are, and if I could be of help on any upcoming projects!

 

And, stay tuned for more OC-Remix-centric work coming in the future. Can't wait to work with some of you!

 

Cheers,
