This is the fourth track of my “A Track Every Other Day Challenge” -It was due last night and I actually finished it in time somewhat, just didn’t get a chance to post it here till today – It’s a little bit of rap music called “Car Windows.” And I admit that it came out a bit sloppy and slurred, I was rushing…and drinking, but as I keep telling you, don’t take these tracks too seriously. These are just practice words. Next track is due by midnight this saturday More Music by SilencioBarnes More Track Challenge Tracks
So Me
So Me by SilencioBarnes (Produced by Big B) Ask my little cousins and my grandmama…I was saying “I’m Me” waaaaaay before you heard it from Lil Weezy:)) I recorded this a while ago, but I didn’t want to post it because there were so many artifacts in the recording…a LOT of em (pops, clicks, stutters, static, etc) – I wanted to re-record it but never got around to it. Big B already did the remix using the bad audio and everything. I’d forgotten about it and then saw it on my PC, and figured fuck it, might as well post it as […]
Fade to Gray – Track Challenge 03
This is the third track of my “A Track Every Other Day Challenge” – This one was actually somewhat on time – I posted it on FaceBook but didn’t make the blog post at the time. It’s a little piece of rap music called “Fade to Black” – I liked where I was going with it. I may come back and make a full song of it someday – Unfortunately, quite a few artifacts (popping, clicking, distortions etc) made it into my mix. I wasn’t going to release it at all…but like I say every post, don’t take these tracks too seriously. […]
Nufadem – Track Challenge 02
This is the second track of my “A Track Every Other Day Challenge” – yup, once again, it was due yesterday :)) Please don’t laugh at my faux-Caribbean chant :)) Don’t take these tracks too seriously. These are just practice words.
Silk – Track Challenge 01
Silk by SB This is the first track of my “A Track Every Other Day Challenge” – yea, it was due yesterday, but I didn’t get a chance to post it up. Figured I’d use these tracks to experiment. This is me attempting a quicker flow…I stumble a bit. Oddly, now that I got it recorded and I know it, I think I can do it much better. If you’re following along, the next track is due tomorrow! Don’t take these tracks too seriously. These are just practice words. More Music by SilencioBarnes More Track Challenge Tracks
A Track Every Other Day Challenge
As if I didn’t have enough to do, I wanted to also give myself an extra challenge. Nothing crazy, just a track a day. I wanted to make one new track a day, everyday for a month. However, after looking at my time constraints, I turned it into 1 new track every other day. It starts today and a track is due tomorrow. I invited people to join me on this, cuz stuff like this sucks when you do it alone. And the invitation is still open. From my Twitter: @SilencioBarnes SilencioBarnes I need a productive challenge, but I don’t […]
These Skillz
These Skillz – Yea, it was just for fun 🙂 Beat by Big B of course – He’ll probably remix it after I send him the vocals 😉 I’ll add the acappella and more info later. The problem with questions is sometimes they lie The problem with torture is, sometimes they die Be careful with the blowtorch, sometimes they cry Sometimes the flesh bubbles, sometimes it fries At first they get real wet but blood always dries Ignore them when they scream out questions like why Just go about your business, and keep away flies And even if they beg […]
Prevail
About the Song “Prevail” A friend of mines listened to the beat and suggested I attempt an uplifting song. Something to motivate people with a message of hope…and this is what I came up with. Unfortunately, the version you hear is not a perfect representation of the vision I had for this song. Also, it should be noted that I lost the original recording and had to piece it back together from a broken up temp file. Some stuff is missing. The beat is called “Save Me.” It was produced by my dude in the UK, Big B. As such, […]
Which Path
About “Which Path” “Which Path” is composed of some very old lyrics. I rewrote a bit of it for uniformity after recording the original and not liking how it meandered. I changed the name as well. Originally it was called “Word Life,” and the chorus was very different. I will add some of the original lyrics at the bottom of the post for comparison. This song is meant to convey the thought process of an individual as they struggle with what they feel their life is about. Much like the song “3Interpretations“, it’s told from different viewpoints, all of which […]
Michael Jackson's P.Y.T. (Pretty Young Thing)
Sorry, but I love this song. Just listening to it makes me feel a little better when I’m feeling down. Figured I’d blog it so I can have a place to easily find it when I wanna hear it 🙂 I mean, it’s MY blog after all 😛 P.Y.T. is a song by Michael Jackson of course and was one of the (many) singles from his Thriller album. The version we all know and love is pretty much a remix of the slower demo version. Eything you need to know about the track can be found on Wikipedia. Click here […]
