Amerie got the formula down

Amerie The homie Kevin Mega dropped this one on me last night. I got a soft spot for the girl, but apparently I missed this new cut. Once again, the “formula” works well for Amerie: hard ass break + slightly odd, common samples (mostly stabs) = banger (repeat). If this is again Rich Harrison (anyone confirm?), you can’t knock the man’s game. The One Thing flip was crazy nice, and Love’s Off The Chain was a throwback to loop rockin’. Though production wise not too groundbreaking here, Hate 2 Love U again working that formula to great result.

i don’t like to sample spot too much, but it’s not like this is a deep one - and the OG is a classic.

J Blow - 05 Promo

J Blow - 05 PromoThough never meant to be an official promo mix, this was originally given away to family and friends near the end of 05 just after I moved to San Diego. As time progressed, it sort of became a makeshift promo of sorts. There’s a few small things I would have liked to have fixed before giving it out, but overall I dig how it turned out. Enjoy!
