I'm quite aware of how often I use J Dilla. In fact, I frantically tried throwing something together instead of immediately going to the vault and dusting this off, but I figured it's better to go with predictable quality than varied mediocrity.
While this beat has been covered by plenty of rappers (Busta Rhymes, Copywrite, Jay Electronica, etc), I really wanted to use it for something. I think the chipmunk soul works well with Biggie's flow, and while it's a bit choppy in places, I'm happy with the end product :)
This was made using J Dilla's "Jackpot" and Biggie Small's "Ten Crack Commandments".
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
