NO EDUCATION

 I had video of me recording this track live in the studio so I mixed it with some random footage and here you have it. This is a banger. Stay close. One.

SMOKED OUT

      In order for you to understand What Dynasty 83 is about to do, you will need to understand what we have been doing. I have been running with a unit for a long time, since about 1998 or 1999. The squad is me, Micro and Sixx (6IXX) and we were known as the "Smoked Out Crew". Anyways for whatever reason life happens and music kept getting pushed aside. We are ready to make our move now but before we can release anything fresh I feel like I need to let go of a few sessions that were collecting dust in my studio, sessions that I feel should be heard.
      "Smoked Out" came to life when we were all messing around in the studio. I produced a beat, turned on the mic, pressed record and the rest was history. My first verse was written and the second was off the top of the dome. Micro got hype and just started talking over the beat so I took a portion of what he said and used it for the hook. 6IXX spit something short for the last verse because our ride was outside and we had to dip out. Aside from arranging the track and very minor edits this track is raw and labeled unfinished. You may be wondering why I would release this track unfinished.... well... because the track was recorded over 6 years ago and that vibe, that session was true for that moment in time. It was real and raw when we recorded it. For me to get 6IXX to add to his verse or to change the hook would kill the life in this track for us. Music is an art and sometimes leaving a piece unfinished is ironically the best way to finish the piece. Stay close. One.

Best Hip Hop Track of All Time.....

     First and foremost the title of this blog is a little misleading because I don't believe that there is one track that can trump them all in hip hop so I based my choice on one question. As a producer, writer, artist I have learned to appreciate every step that goes into making a song as opposed to just the final product so I asked myself one question... Of all the great tracks out there from Tupac, Nas, Jay Z, Big Pun, B.I.G., Big L just to name a few artists, of all the studio sessions in the past which one would I want to witness if I could turn back the hands of time and be a fly on the wall. Well.... One and only one track came to my mind. Over five minutes of a dope beat with all the Wu members spitting lyrics that make listeners cringe and screwface because each verse is just too nasty to comprehend and no chorus.... NO CHORUS, yet everyone in the club could rap the entire song. I am sorry but I don't think anyone could ever do that again. A toast to Wu Tang. TRIUMPH baby! Stay close.

OfF tHe ChAiN mEdAlLiOn...

Should Music be all about Marketing Strategies and pleasing a crowd?......... Should an artist change what made them love the game to stay in the game even if it's not them? Why cater to the crowd and kill creativity and your love for music when you can just do you and keep it real. Don't be a Robot! With that being said...... here is a track put together in about an hour including making the beat in my studio alone before I even ate breakfast. It's simple, it's raw and I don't care if you like it (lol). Stay close......
