In regards to tackling genres I've always found myself at bit of a fork in the road. This is the #SoulProvider expansion from @akai_pro and I must admit it certainly puts you in a different creative space! I'm really diggin the percussive elements they've put in here. Accompanied with this 2.10 update with that Hype plugin is a perfect marriage lol. But the more I worked on this, the more genres it applied to. Sci fi movie soundtrack is what comes to mind for me but it could be some kind of @linkinpark or @runthejewels type joint. Either way it's a dope kit to keep in your duffle bag. . . . #ChicagoMade #MidwesternlyMade #AkaiPro #Akai #MPC #MobileProducer #SelfTaught #scifimusic #placement #Instrumental #akaiexpansion #hiphop #alternativerock #rtj #linkinpark #pop #multipurposebeats (at South Side, Chicago) https://www.instagram.com/p/CSHprYDn04_/?utm_medium=tumblr

That was such a surreal moment. I actually postponed my break 2 hours just so I can catch the 1st 15 minutes of #AEWRampage & even though I wasn't there, I definitely felt the roar of the crowd. Though my life is much more busier that I couldn't make it to #AEWRampageTheFirstDance, thankfully I at least witnessed this at work while it was happening & I'll take it then having nothing. #WelcomeBackCMPunk. Looking forward what the #BestInTheWorld has to offer #AllEliteWrestling #CMPunk #ChickMagnet #CookieMonster #AEW #MakingProWrestlingFunAgain #CMPunkIsAllElite #GTS #GoToSleep #ChicagoMade https://www.instagram.com/p/CS4s7dllZiE/?utm_medium=tumblr

Finally hopped back on the MP after a looong minute. Thanks to the #mpcgang and this competition they've got going on this month. We had to use the drums in the kit so I chose to marry the #marvingaye sample to them. P.S...phone mics are trash, I can not stress this enough💯😂 . . . #MidwesternlyMade #mpc #akai #akaipro #mpclive #whatsgoingon #hiphop #boombap #chicagohiphop #ChicagoMade (at South Side, Chicago) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQqtCbFnUjX/?utm_medium=tumblr
