I introduced myself in the last episode of this blog but I did not mention that I compose and mix music. Hip Hop is one of the many genres I produce, although I tend to like to add a twist of my own own style or other genres to it.
The track mentioned in this blog actually tells a story about a young afro-carribean woman who has left her x boy friends gang culture after she finds success with a well paid 9 to 5 job, new friends and a new life away from guns, drugs and violence.
The style of the track is hip hop with elements of house music. It took around 3 days to complete. The vocals came from music sample librarys which were permitted for use in music eirther for non-commercial or commerical publication. Some of the melody is also sample based but some I composed as original material using software synthesizers. The mp3 of the track in question can be streamed or downloaded from the following website . It is called "Leave The Gang Behind".
Enjoy ............

I just had a listen to your track. It's nicely produced and very clean sounding. The sounds all have their own space and stand out. The small amount of effects on it works well. But, it's sample-based origin is clear. My opinion is that more work is needed to make the samples more personal to you and less "out of the box" if you know what I mean.
Did you use Ejay to make the track?
