about
This track started life as a demo for an album project that I was working on with I.G. Culture, legendary West London producer and pioneer of the broken beat sound - and many other sounds too, I might add! I.G. had the idea of doing a broken beat take on the classic Organized Konfusion track of the same name. He put together a beat and I laid down some demo verses but then disaster struck ... We were about three quarters of the way through the I.G./Y.G. project when I.G.'s hard drive died and we lost all the data. Lesson learned ... back up ... back up ... back up ... then back up your back-up!
Luckily, I still had some early demos from sessions I'd done in my own studio. I took the parts to Mr. Thing and we put together this remix, blending in elements of I.G.'s beat with some of the original breaks that the Organized track was based on (beat-heads, you know what it is ... ). So what you're hearing now is kind of a phoenix from the flames - I like to think that makes it hot!
Hope you enjoy ...
Peace and love
