I've become OBSESSED with this guy, Crustas. Particularly this beat. I can't understand it, but I have some sort of spiritual connection to this beat, it's pure amazing. I knew I had to use it for something, but it couldn't be just any old song. I decided to go with Common's "Come Close", even though Common's flow is tough to work with and there's obnoxious singing all throughout the track. It was tough work, and I had to chop the middle verse (Too noisy), but I'm pleased with the final product :)
This was made using Crustas' "Broken" and Common's "Come Closer".

Oddisee is one of the many up-and-coming beatmakers in this new wave of production whose ability and raw talent is truly jaw-dropping. Just skip over Asher Roth's verse. Yuck. Arby Wan Kenobi
