ELITE:
“My goal with this project is to connect all the work I have done up until this point, so that those who are unfamiliar can get acquainted with my sound. For those of you who are familiar, I think you will really enjoy these Instrumentals. I didn’t just mute the vocals, in some cases i completely remixed and rearranged the beats to give the listener a more dynamic experience.
Playground is one of my favorites, me and Cole recorded that during the early stages of “The Warm Up“ but it didn’t fit in with the final track listing. It’s a great song though, and I’m happy to finally let you all hear it!
Holy Omen was featured on Omen’s “Delayed” mixtape sampler, but it’s my first real appearance on the mic, so I wanted to share it on this project as well. Expect a lot more of this in the future, and on my next mixtape (currently in progress) entitled “Elite That’s Me“.
I also decided to finally release The Original Version of Shootouts. Now you can hear for your self how I removed the sample and completely reworked the beat!
Enjoy!”
