Take Cover (2010) Take Cover features synth-laced interpolations of classic R&B, soul & funk tracks from the 70s, 80s and 90s. With all original production and no samples, these cover instrumentals put a contemporary twist on songs that have inspired me from different eras. I started this as a personal project with no intentions for official release, but after three years of revisiting the album on and off friends and supporters finally convinced me to give it the proper treatment.

KeysOpenDoors (2010) Although I know how to sample I've usually relied on my knowledge of the keyboard to guide my production. This time, instead of composing my own tracks I chose to take a different approach. I wanted to challenge myself to find chord changes instead of make them, so I went back to some of the musicians (Ahmad Jamal, Herbie Hancock, Thelonious Monk et al.) who have been the most influential on me and hip-hop at large. The result was a beat tape created in the tradition of DJ Premier, Pete Rock and J Dilla that pays homage to hip-hop and jazz traditions. Click To Download |

Two Shades Deep (2007) BlackMindz is a duo comprised of myself and singer/emcee OH BO! NIYRE. This album was our first official release, and its sound spans from boom bap hip-hop to spacey R&B and neo-soul. Besides sharing duties on the mic, I handled production, recording and mixing for the project. Click To Download (itunes) |
