This is my first sample-based hip-hop beat that I've done for my Beat Making Sundays series. I decided to do it because I've been reading the comments on previous videos and it seems like you guys wanted to see a sampled track. The sample is Bob Marley's Sun Is Shining.
PRODUCERS: If you are a producer, sample the same track and post your beat as a video response to this video so we can all share our flips of the song.

Beat Making Sundays - Episode 14 (June 26, 2011)
This is a soulful deep hip-hop track with real instrument sounds. I can hear someone like Rick Ross on this one, but I think a singer could kill it too!

New Day's - Destination (Official Video)
Here is a new music video from New Day for their new single "Destination" which I produced.
New Day's sophomore album "The Fast Years II: Destination"
For the months before my trip, I have been working with New Day on their sophomore album "The Fast Years II: Destination"! When I was on my trip the album was released on iTunes. The album features appearances from Mistah F.A.B. and Jay Ant. I produced 8 tracks on the album!

Beat Making Sundays - Episode 12 (June 12, 2011)
This track is an uptempo hip-hop track that includes live elements like the horns and drums. Although I originally had a rapper in mind for the beat, I also think a talented vocalist could make a great track out of this one.
If you want to hear the full version of this track, it is called "Horn Hit"!

Beat Making Sundays - Episode 11 (June 5, 2011)
This is my first Beat Making Sundays episode since being back from my backpacking trip! This track is an uptempo dance track that would work great for someone like Britney Spears or even a rapper who has a pop sound.

Gone Since March!
So I have been backpacking through Sri Lanka and India for the past three months. I apologize for not updating you with this information before I left, but the few days before the trip were pretty hectic. Anyways, I am now back from the amazing trip and have put together a trip video. Check it out!

Beat Making Sundays - Episode 8 (Feb. 20, 2011)
With this episode, I wanted to make an r&b track that works in the clubs. I can see someone like Trey Songz on this. If you're interested in the track, it is called "Hidden Talent"!
