David Cordero - Something

SICK BEAT ALERT (I don’t know if that’s gonna be a thing on this blog, but at least you now know that this post is a beat, and that it is sick, and that you are being alerted to it!) So I was rifling through some of David’s old beats and I found this gem of a track, it’s from back in his old-school hip-hop phase (his recent shit’s a lot heavier, in terms of experimentation and performance) but I couldn’t be digging this more.

The piano that’s laid down is beautiful, a light sick melody that continues to grind throughout the main section; while the multi-layered horn section in the back gives this instrumental an immediate presence and puts it down in a pounding form. It’s Arena Hip-hop at its best; taking you to the back of some packed football field littered with beer cans and clogged with smoke; as you wave your zippo diligently in the air for grungy bass heads all over the world.

Rappers get ready; your next epic freestyle is on its way.
