Dafrosty – Summer Snowflakes

Here’s a short video for a short song. I would call this an impulsive project, as the music was figured out when I was jamming on the keyboard trying to entertain my other half on Skype one night while at work. I quickly arranged a draft and wrote the lyrics straight away. Went home to record a proper arrangement, and somehow I just left it at that.

Last night, however, my boss left the mic in the control room as he was recording himself doing backing tracks before I came in. I just thought, well, might as well record a demo or something. Then it got serious. And while the whole thing was taking shape, I had a couple of good ideas for the video, and decided on one of them after I was done recording.

What followed resulted into this. Enjoy.

Mixtape Reviewed!

An old friend MC Nucleo got so excited after listening to the mixtape and wrote a review!

“6. The artists inclined/listed on them mixtape murdered their slots
7. The deliverance of the host would immaculately flip and toss emcees apart as a reference for them career!”

Dope in Double Dosage

2 of my most respected regional acts dropped their latest videos yesterday!

First it was my good friend Kwizyne from Singapore, whom you may recognize from my song Culinary Arts in the mixtape. One of the few in Singapore I look up to lyrically, he had a mixtape out last year, and this video hints the next one coming soon, something about the whole thing being based on the Akira movie. On the song and video itself, I think we can all agree that Kwizyne was the right person to do this.

Later that night, Malaysian underground Hip Hop heavyweights The Rebel Scum released The Lost Chamber, a song previewed and performed in almost every recent Rebel Scum show I could recall. With a high quality production and a Wu feel to it, nothing beats pockets of momentary stagnant states of Malaysian Hip Hop than the unpredictable releases(some would say comebacks coz of how long they waited) by the scene legends themselves.

Bring out the Fire Works!

Happy Malaysia Day,Dearly Beloved

Here’s a song I made during Merdeka Day, released around the same time I released the mixtape. Bad timing, I suppose. But hey, great art is timeless lol

It’s here!

Happy Birthday Hip Hop

Interesting coincidence. 1st day of the holy month of Ramadhan this year turned out to be the birthday of Hip Hop.

Back to mastering.

Shigga Shay’s In The Building!

While I’m sneaking bits of time on some final pieces of my mixtape in between my work schedule, I’ma take some time here to let you know that a gladiator from Singapore has released his own mixtape a few minutes ago.

Personally at first I didn’t like this dude’s music, but I started appreciating him better when I realize how he seemed to be concerned with elevation, which translated well with every  subsequent release. He might not be the illest I’ve heard of for his young age, but where he is now he’s pretty good, with an asian pride to top it off, added to a polished mainstream sound. Definitely a young gladiator to watch out for.
