Hey guys

This is something I created in the vein of Run the Jewels and El-P's production. I don't usually make "straight bangers" like this, but I figured I'd try to make something simple yet muscular. Hope this is interesting to you. I can make a longer version if you want to rap over it.

The main vocal sample and bass sample is manipulated from a recording of my dad preaching in front of our congregation. I distort it and add delays.

Cheers,
ZigZag

10/10 would listen again. Great beat, simple enough timing structure to dance to, intricate enough to blast without feeling like you're in a gay bar.

Daaaaamn. As far as RTJ goes, you got the drum programming and choice of drum sounds down PAT. Sounds just like 'em.

For the rest, I wouldn't know how you'd approximate that apocalyptic El-P vibe. He has oodles of synths, which results in really sharp, colorful sounds that contrast with each other in really cool ways. Here, the beat was kinda stripped down to a minimalistic 'what can I do with this vocal sample' which is cool. You got quite a bit of mileage out of it. I'd maybe add some more stuff in there. Crazy melodies and whatnot. Loud high pitched g-funk synth whines, distorted bass, maybe some adlibs or one-off samples or something, idk...

But yeah, great work with this track man!
