You might see this song title or listen to this track and think, "Man, this guy's a stoner" or even just "I bet he likes to smoke weed." WRONG ON BOTH COUNTS! I actually hate smoking weed. But I do love flying in hot air balloons. It's been a passion of mine ever since I accidentally commandeered one and flew it around the world in 80 days. True story.

Whatever. Just go check out my album, Brilliant Shower. It's 100% original, unlike Superior Tech.

It's been a while since I did one of these! I'm trying to get back on the wagon, so here it goes... Diamond is a unique beat for me in the sense that it 1) utilizes a single, short string of sample, and 2) the sample contains no rhythm instruments whatsoever. I have a couple other tracks that do this as well, but they're few and far between. Diamond is the first and best of its kind to do this. The bass and drums on this track are both mine, built around the swirling keyboard sample. Eventually, one day I'd like to either recreate or re-envision the sampled part of this track and make a 100% original version of Diamond.

Man, this beat = TROUBLE. It sounds great, don't get me wrong. I used to shop it around back when I was trying to sell beats. It helped me make all sorts of awkward connections. Eventually, it led me to one local Pittsburgh singer that asked if she could record over it. And then, suddenly, drums were missing. Gone from existence exactly one day before I'm supposed to take it into the studio. So I rebuilt it!!! I REBUILT IT AND MADE IT STRONGER!!!
