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.
